This was the hardest class I've ever taken. He teaches at OU now, and I failed the class despite going into office hours. You have to go in for help and seek it yourself. Expect to have a low grade all through the year.Rate My Professors ↗
Best calc professor I have had. He is there to work with you if you are struggling, and he wants you to succeed. He is very knowledgable about what he is teaching. Unlike some professors, he is down to earth.Rate My Professors ↗
Took Math 205 with him while he was a guest professor at Kansas State University. Enjoyed his class. He is a young, attractive, somewhat soft-spoken guy. Ended up getting a high A in the class with the curve! Sweet! Lecture wasn't super interesting, but at least he is a good teacher. At least he's nice to look at - kept me motivated to show up!Rate My Professors ↗
