MATH 211
Quality 5/5Difficulty 1/5
Great professor if you're looking for an exceptional math learning experience. Highly recommended. His classes are a little early though so you gatta wake up early sometimes. be sure you are familiar with Heisenberg's uncertainty principal as it will be used extensively for cross multiplying with Euler's method.

MATH 211
Quality 5/5Difficulty 1/5
This math course was one of the most challenging I had taken at UW-Madison, but this professor was worth it. He made 2+2 as easy as 3.14 ;) and he's pretty hot. He made it easy to understand the concepts in this class including sine cosine and tangent. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle never seemed so certain to me.

Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
The worst teacher I have ever had in my life. No exaggeration. He does not teach/help his students. Is not clear. And has great difficulty simply communicating with people.
