Genuinely changed my perspective on math - turns out I didn't hate the subject, just the teachers I had before. Goes over concepts in multiple ways, asks comprehension questions (but not in a cold call way), is always super prepared, and is generally very invested in his students' success. Quizes and exams were reasonable, and while the homework was challenging, together everything felt like it helped me understand both the practical and theoretical parts of the content. The class was also made much easier by engaging more with Panos: going to office hours, asking questions, etc. Whatever class he has next, I hope they will enjoy one of the best that UMD has to offer. |

GOAT ALERT. UMD hidden gem. Panos is genuinely the greatest teacher I have ever had EVER. He's so funny and made calc 2 super easy. The quizzes and exams were exactly like the practice quizzes he would post and he was a super lenient grader. The homework's were basically impossible but you could do them with a group. Go to his office hours because he gives lots of good information that couldn't be covered in class, as well as little easter eggs on what could be on quizzes/exams. Panos felt more like a friend than a professor and I'm genuinely going to miss seeing him. Aside from his character, his teaching is top tier as he spends lots of time breaking new concepts down. If he ever went too fast, he asked that we tell him so he could go back over it again. |

Panos is genuinely one of the best professors I have had at UMD. I am so beyond appreciative of everything about him — not only is he a wonderful teacher (and explains concepts very well + at a slow pace so everyone understands), but he is SO kind and understanding towards all of his students. Following a terrible experience in MATH140 with a different professor, Panos made up for it x100. If you have the opportunity to take him, I would highly recommend it. Quizzes & exams were very fair and were almost exactly what we went over during lecture. He is also a very generous grader and hosts long office hours to re-explain everything taught in lecture. Take him! |

UGHH. Don't even know what to write because he was so genuinely fire. Best math professor I have ever encountered. He's young, so he's not boring like the other professors. He is super fucking funny and entertaining, so class doesn't seem boring, and he makes you actually want to learn math. The quizzes were hardish but never impossible. The exams were fair, if you know how to do the problems he goes over in class, and on the review, it's so hard to do poorly. I recommend going to office hours, it helps a lot with the exams, and both Aris and Panos are fun to chat with. BESTTTT fucking professor. Already miss him. |

Found it impossible to learn anything, dont take this professor. He explains things in a very wonky way and exams were unrelated to anything we learned. |

The BEST professor I have ever encountered. He truly cares about his students and urges everyone to come to office hours for additional help beyond class time. He will even set time aside to meet with you if his office hours do not accommodate your schedule. The exams and quizzes may be a bit tedious, but they are fair and simple if proper studying is done. Review ANY topics he suggests in class because they will likely if not definitely appear on an exam or quiz. Overall, study well, attend every lecture and office hours, and you will likely succeed in this class. I will genuinely miss Panos as a professor. If you have the opportunity to take any of his courses, you will not regret it. |

Great Prof - finished syllabus halfway through the semester and then took class recommendations on what to teach. Take home midterms, pretty easy homework and final paper which made a lot of sense for this class. Truly goated |

Classes were easy enough to follow/understand. He's a pretty engaging lecturer. He made our midterm a take-home exam to be solved using a computer, which was awesome. Also the final exam was replaced with a project, which is probably a lot better since this class should be an APPLICATIONS of linear algebra class. The homeworks were a bit long but they were pretty helpful in helping to understand course content. |
