He would walk through all problems and stop during lectures to explain and answer any questions we had. We were always ahead of the curriculum and would do review days in the middle of the semester. 9/10",

He also yelled at me in class to put my phone away, and respectfully I am paying thousands of dollars to take your class, so I will be on my phone if I want to be.",

    "comment": "He was very helpful with questions and I would definitely take a class from him again. It is a 300 level math class at Madison so it isn't easy but there is very little homework at least. Essentially, the three exams make up almost all of your grade but they have like 8 previous exams available that are almost exactly the same as the actual exam.",
