Michael Laskowski MATH712 Anonymous 12/27/2014	Extremely friendly professor, always smiling and enthusiastic about the subject matter. Flexible office hours. Reasonable homework load. Both exams were take-home, and were fairly straightforward. Homework and exam problems often involved results that would prove important in later lectures, which was nice. He has a fairly idiosyncratic lecturing style, but I enjoyed it. Proofs are done in full rigor, but he often pauses to summarize what's going on in informal "slang," which is for the most part very helpful though occasionally his choice of terms is a bit perplexing. He gives a lot of context and motivation for the material, which is very nice. The only gripe I have (and it's a minor one) is that his constructions for a few of the major results were quite different than those given in most reference materials. I do find his approach rather more appealing than what appears to be the "standard," but this was a bit problematic at times.
