MATH 319
Quality 2/5Difficulty 3/5
This professor not only upsetted me because he talked down to you, but he also made no effort to fix mistakes. The TA didn't help of course, but all I have to say is...A going into final, B coming out, are you KIDDING me?!

MATH 222
Quality 3/5Difficulty 3/5
A nice guy and decent prof, although watch out for the accent. Lectures were okay (except being early), but he just does examples from the book so if you're a fan of reading rather than hearing i wouldn't go. The exams are rough but fair ... the curve helps.

Excellent professor if you are willing to work hard. If you need to be spoon-fed, find someone else.

Quality 3/5Difficulty 4/5
His accent makes the class unclear at times. If you don't pay attention it is easy to get lost. He does a good job of helping you understand something if you ask the right question. The class is hard to understand, but i don't think that's his fault.

Quality 3/5Difficulty 4/5
Hard to understand because of the accent but you'll probably get used to it after a while (a little bit at least). He can be hard to follow because of this at times.
