MATH 222
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Best math teacher I have ever had. Calc 2 is a hard class. Justin was always prepared for lectures and has some of the neatest handwriting I have ever seen. He cares about his students and will always answer questions. Exams were tough but fair. Overall, great professor.

MATH 222
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
You can really tell Prof. Sukiennik cares about his students. He is extremely friendly, and sometimes makes fun of how absurd math problems can be. All math sections have almost all your grade being exams so I cannot blame him for being so test heavy. All sections got the same exam, but at the end he shifted the grade scale by 2.5%! Beast professor

Just took my calc final and I can say that prof Sukiennik did a great job of teaching to what was going to be on the test. Our lectures were three times a week at 8:50 am but he is an amazing lecturer who you can tell is passionate about math. A huge plus is that he posts his lecture notes, which could not be more organized and easy to follow.

Professor Sukiennik is a wiz of a professor. He is very knowledgeable regarding anything math related and is an awesome person to talk to outside of class as well! Definitely gonna miss him here at UW-Madison.

Quality 3/5Difficulty 4/5
As far as math professors he's probably one of the best lecturers in the department. But I will say partial credit on the exams was very sparse (maybe true of all the math 222 sections?). I accidentally wrote 2 instead of 1/2 at the beginning of a problem and got 90% of the points off for that portion even though my strategies were correct

Best Calc professor I have had. Lectures are so organized and easy to follow. Lecture notes are also posted on Canvas usually the next day. Super approachable with questions and eager to help students. Midterms are difficult but straightforward. If taking Calc 2, definitely this professor.
