I can't say enough good things about Qendrim. He has such a great teaching philosophy, emphasizing learning at every opportunity. I have never felt like I could just relax and focus on holistically learning the material in any other class quite like I have in this class. He is a difficult and sometimes unpredictable professor, but he is incredibly forgiving in his grading. He is very accessible with lots of office hours and the ability to schedule personal meeting times with him by email. The homeworks were very reasonable and very beneficial and his lectures were always well delivered. There will not be many more opportunities to take Qendrim, since he is a visiting professor, but if you can, please do! |

Professor Gashi was amazing. He genuinely wants you to succeed and do well in his class. He understands that math is not everyone's cup of tea but he tries to be as engaging as possible. He is very sweet and teaches the class very well. He had 4 midterms and dropped one at the end of the year (he did not say he was going to do this in the syllabus). Gives homework probably once every 10 days and they can be completed in a reasonable time and you get multiple attempts on most of the problems. Quizzes are given every discussion so you have to go to discussions to get those points, but if you miss he is very understanding and will most likely allow you to take it at a different time. But the quizzes are very easy and are good prep for the midterms. His lectures do not require attendance and you review what you learn in lecture in the discussions so its easy to skip a few lectures. Overall he is such a nice and genuine professor and actually cares about his students and the material he is teaching. So I would definitely recommend him. |

Professor Gashi is a very good professor. He is very understanding and helpful as long as you communicate. He constantly makes jokes throughout the lectures and genuinely cares about his students. There are four midterms with a final along with weekly quizzes in the discussions. There is homework due on mingpress that also covers everything. The class before every midterm he reviews all the content on the midterm. At the end of the class he dropped your lowest midterm, two discussion quizzes, and two homework assignments. Heavily recommend. |

Professor Gashi was great! This was his first year here, but he has had experience teaching at other universities/schools. He really cares about his students and is willing to help anyone who is struggling. He is very flexible in finding times to meet with students if it is a time outside of office hours. If you have taken calculus before, this course will more than likely be easy for you, as you have already seen the concepts that are covered in this course. If this is the case for you, then you can definitely get by with not attending office hours. However, if you have not taken calculus, the concepts could be harder to grasp so I would definitely recommend going to ask for help if you need it. The only downside of this class was the TA. This was his first year being a TA and he would lead discussion sessions once a week. He would often speak too fast and not explain things very well. However, don't let that deter you from choosing Professor Gashi. If you find that you are confused about a topic, reach out to the professor directly. In terms of course work, you will get homework assignments every couple of lectures that you complete on your computer. The homework is relatively easy, and it asks similar questions to the ones that you go over during lecture. Another bonus is that you have multiple attempts for each question. For our midterm, he split it into four parts that were spread throughout the semester. Although it sounds like a lot it was actually very beneficial because it gave you multiple chances to do well and each part only covered a small amount of information. You also have quizzes at the end of every discussion session but they are only 2 questions about content that the TA discussed during the session. They take about 5 minutes to complete. Overall if you are needing to take Math120 I highly recommend Professor Gashi!! |

Just an amazing professor. I struggled with calculus in high school but Professor Gashi made calculus easy to understand. He takes time to make sure students understand the material and is very helpful when answering questions. I wish I could take another class under his instruction! If you are able to take him, do it! |

Professor Gashi is super understanding and good at teaching the concepts. The homework is on MingPress and covers basically everything taught in class. All of Professor Gashi's tests have the same problems from the MingPress and from the lecture classes. Take him if you can he is great! |

He is a really good and understanding professor. Occasionally makes jokes throughout the lecture. He makes sure that students understand the materials and grasp the concepts that are being taught. There are four midterms and a final, but if you attend class or self review, it is not difficult. Prior to a midterm, he will do a review session in class, covering all of the important concepts. There are homeworks that's done online on mingpress, but they are manageable and he gives a fair amount of time before it is due. Every Wednesday, during our discussion, there is a quiz at the end, but the TA spends majority of the time doing practice problems similar to the questions on the quiz, so it's hard not to pass. Overall, highly recommend this professor! |
