He's like the AI voice assistant on PDFs - literally reads straight from the textbook, only in a Russian accent. He's quite uninspiring and did not make this class enjoyable whatsoever. The class isn't too hard though tbhRate My Professors ↗
Professor Feldman is definitely one of my favorite professors. He is so professional and most importantly a incredibly patient and nice instructor. He gave all the materials we need for exams. From lectures to homework to exams, everything so well organized.Rate My Professors ↗
One of the best professors I have had so far. Very patient in office hours. Explain everything you want over and over again. If you can take any analysis class (or calculus, differential equations) with Feldman, go for it. That's an excellent opportunity. However, 522 is a difficult class no matter who teach it based on my friends' opinions.Rate My Professors ↗
I've gone to two lectures all semester long. They are pointless and a waste of time, he goes over textbook examples without really explaining anything. You're better off just going over the textbook on your own, as the exams are very similar (if not completely based on) the examples and homework. Quizzes, however, are comically hard.Rate My Professors ↗
He has a thick accent. Not good at lecturing. You'll learn very little from lectures because writes exactly whats in the book on the board. like EXACTLY. Almost not worth going to lectures. The class over all isn't that hard, if you put in the work you'll get a decent grade.Rate My Professors ↗
