Quality 5/5Difficulty 5/5
Very hard class but he made us understand the material. This class should be required because it is so helpful. Good teacher but gives hard exams.

Although this is not an easy class, Bart was a good professor. Do homework and he takes questions for exams directly from worksheets and lecture examples. Reminds me of Professor laskee from Saved by the Bell

Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Great professor. His lectures are always exciting, as his excitement in proving a new theorem just bubbles over. Extremely funny guy. He is also very helpful during his office hours, taking the time to slowly explain concepts. Exams are a little tough but they are fair. Just work hard, and ask a lot of good questions though and you'll do fine.

if you have to take calc 222, i would highly suggest taking kastermans. relative to the other calc professors he is very good. exams were very easy because all the questions from the exams come right off of his worksheets. and he is very funny so lectures are slightly entertaining.

Very good teacher. Very helpful, stays after class to clear up any questions anyone might have. His tests are quite fair. Very funny guy. I'd say the TA makes all the difference though so get a good TA.
