Guillaume Dumas MATH241H Expecting an A- Anonymous 12/15/2025	Really good professor overall. Sometimes he will overcomplicate things, and his quizzes can be difficult, but overall, they really help you understand what you need to do better
Guillaume Dumas MATH241H Expecting a B Anonymous 12/11/2025	Pretty average, by the book professor. Lecture was straight from the textbook, and his explanations didn't add much (self-study was definitely needed). He didn't go out of his way to provide study resources beyond answers to textbook questions (many of which were just photos of the answer key), which I found to be quantity over quality. Justin has a ton of resources posted on his website, but I didn't find out about it until halfway through the semester, and they don't go quite into the depth that the quizzes/exams in this class did. The quizzes were also extremely time-constrained, considering that many were pretty difficult, though good exam prep (they were doable but required brute forcing the practice problems so that you didn't need to pause and think). The weighing was also pretty unforgiving, consisting only of exams, quizzes (half of which had a 70-75 average even after he added points to the hardest ones), and two MATLAB assignments. TL;DR: not terrible if you enjoy math and have ample time to study, but there are also better, more passionate professors
Guillaume Dumas MATH241H Expecting an A Anonymous 12/05/2025	He knows his stuff and teaches relatively well. He has a French accent, but it's not bad at all and definitely understandable. His handwriting can be terrible at times, but you learn to understand it. A lot of the material is copied right out of the textbook, so if I missed something, I would just check the book. The quizzes and exams are super fair, and if you do the optional textbook homework to study, you're pretty much set, as he uses the same type of questions (sometimes easier than the textbook HW) on the assessments. He's always willing to help and is pretty flexible if you can't make office hours. Overall, super chill guy, would take another class with him.

His handwriting can be terrible at times, but you get used to it and a lot of what he writes on the board is directly from the textbook so you can find it in the text if what he wrote is hard to read. He's super open to helping with any questions and explains concepts pretty well. His French accent isn't too bad definitely could be worse.

He assigns MatLab projects but they're easy if you have experience in MatLab. He does have a French accent and talks into the board from time to time but he explains concepts well.
