Yes, he's very good at lectures. Exams are fair and at least tangentially related to hw. Accessible on Piazza. HW was not too difficult, but did take a while. He also mentioned quite a few areas of math/classes related to the topic at hand.Rate My Professors ↗
This man is an absolute legend. One of the nicest guys I have ever met. Kinetic lectures that make the time fly by, he makes very difficult content digestible. Reasonable exams. Nice, respectful, and extremely helpful in office hours. Professor Spagnolie is the best math professor at UW Madison.Rate My Professors ↗
He is very enthusiastic and loves what he teaches. Would recommend going to office hours.Rate My Professors ↗
Exceptional professor. This was the only class I attended every lecture. He is great at explaining mathematical ideas. He's also a good character, and cares that his students understand the material. If you have the opportunity to take one of his classes, I'd 100% recommend doing so.Rate My Professors ↗
His lectures are extremely good, and makes what is an extremely hard class somewhat easier.Rate My Professors ↗
He is clearly very passionate about what he teaches, and MATH 375 is a hard course to begin with, so be aware of that. I heavily recommend going to office hours.Rate My Professors ↗
