He is a great lecturer if you make the effort to pay attention. He tries to explain concepts clearly so everybody can understand. Combinatorics is a hard subject, so if you don't put in the work exams will be tough.Rate My Professors ↗
He's an okay lecturer who has a hard time capturing the attention of his students. Combinatorics is difficult and needs clarification, and he doesn't exactly have an aura of encouraging questions. That said all the exams are open book and the questions are off the homework, so doing poorly is rather difficult if you try even a little.Rate My Professors ↗
Really makes sure to teach in a way that everyone can understand. He gets a little lost in the sauce sometimes and loses people, but he makes sure everyone understands a topic before moving on. Easily much better than Terwilliger. But combinatorics is hard and the problems vary, lectures will probably not be enough, you need to review the textbook.Rate My Professors ↗
