I liked what he was trying to do. He was thoughtful. He chose a readable text, assigned interesting problems from it (many routine), and then complemented the material in lecture - the lectures added to the text, not simply reproduced it. They added to it by connecting topics from calc 3 with differential geometry or proving different facts.Rate My Professors ↗

he's a nice guy. he can be unclear at times (like most teachers), but he is willing to help and is a very reasonable grader. exams are fair.Rate My Professors ↗
Horrible professor and very boring. Also the curve was ridiculous near impossible to get an A or AB.Rate My Professors ↗
AMAZING professor to take if you learn from the book like I do. It was a match made in heaven, i never went to class, only read the book and was 100% prepared.....quite the obvious if you cant learn from a book and especially if you dont have a good TA.Rate My Professors ↗
