If you need calc 2, try to take it with Patrick!!!! First off, he speaks perfect English which is huge for a hard class like calc 2. Also, he wants students to do well so he set the average to a high BC if not low B (the average tended to be terrible). Only negative was stupid last problem on HW, but that is minor.

I liked Patrick. His last problems were very difficult and didn't always pertain to what we were doing but his tests weren't bad and the curve was generous. It was easy as far as Math 222 goes. I recommend him.Rate My Professors ↗
Awesome Professor! Eager to help students and see them do well in his class. He even makes lecture fun with his punny remarks and pop culture references.Rate My Professors ↗
Patrick is extremely intelligent and made lectures more interesting with humor. the course is overall a little challenging, but homework is graded by completion and there are very generous curves on all of the exams.Rate My Professors ↗
Great teacher. Explains everything very well and gives unique examples. You can tel that he actually cares about his students. Tests were pretty easy and had massive curves. I would recommend him.Rate My Professors ↗
Patrick seems to be a good guy but was far from my favorite teacher. He wasn't bad, but I wouldn't be particularly stoked to take another class with him. His explanations were often vague and abstract. All things considered, Calc 2 is really hard, but Patrick made it bearable. I did appreicate some of his jokes.
