FRANCIS HALZEN

Francis was a super sweet guy, but he seemed super confused about what he was teaching and the TA's would correct him a lot of the time. He was also really bad at answering questions. He would send the lecture notes and just read off of them during the class. The TA's taught way more content than Halzen even attempted to cover.

He's a really nice guy but his lectures do NOT help you with anything in your homework or labs or exams. He rambles on and does not go over any of the math problems which make up almost all of the problems on each test. I do not recommend this class unless Pupa is the only one teaching

This class was literally terrible and Francis is a really nice guy but actually doesn't teach you much. He cares more about the concepts rather than the mathematics, which is actually what all the tests are on. Our class had to go through 3-hour review sessions the day before the test with the TA to understand the material. Do not recommend.

Dr. Halzen is a very sweet guy, but his lectures can be kind of confusing. He gets off track easily and doesn't always make stuff super clear. In general, he's an okay professor but I think if he taught a harder class, I would have struggled. The subject material is interesting and he is clearly passionate, just not always very articulate.

Very nice old man but not very helpful. He writes a ton of formulas on the board, and you just copy it all down. I never knew what was going on. He assigns 5 problems from the book a week. Figure out how to do those, and you will be fine. Tests are exactly like the homework and study guide questions. Easy A, without any work.

He is very nice but not the best professor. His lectures are unclear and tests are somewhat hard. Grading scale is predominantly based on 3 exams. I would not recommend him as a professor.
