He's not that great at explaining things, so you'll be confused a lot. But he really bends over backwards for his students. He'll explain something ten different times if that's what it takes, so it makes up for not explaining things well the first time. Also, no one was using the classroom after us, so he would always stay after to help students, sometimes for more than an hour! And he said that he would have an additional lecture Tuesday and Thursday nights if anyone needed more practice. Basically, he doesn't explain well but he'll go WAY out of his way to make sure you understand the material regardless.

This was one of the worst teachers/[professors I\'ve ever had in my entire school career. He did not understand the questions his students would ask, and could not provide useful help. Rather than explaining material, he would just use examples from the book, and it was obvious he barely looked at those because almost every class we\'d point out something wrong with his math. If you\'ve ever tried to read the calc textbook, you know that the examples do not cover all the material, so unless you have already mastered calculus, or love reading your textbook and have a good math tutor, DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR.
