I'd rate 3.5 stars. He gives good homework exercises, his exams are fair but can be a bit difficult, and he gives plenty extra credit opportunities plus massive curve in the end. Main critique is his lectures are exactly the same as the textbook, and I wish he would explain certain parts of the course more in depth. |

Very nice guy, who obviously knows what he's talking about when it comes to the math itself, but when it comes to general teaching skills, he isn't where he should be. Fall of 2023 was his first semester ever teaching, and as a result, simple things like explanations to confusing practice problems or MATLAB were sadly not his forte. Hopefully he is better in future semesters because of more experience, but otherwise, I would say try to take MATH241 with a different professor, as the content is already hard enough on its own. |

There were three tests, weekly quizzes, and one MATLAB assignment that was really easy and his instructions gave the answers. He also gives out a few extra credit assignments. DO THEM! They will definitely help your grade in the end. Pros: - Curved the class in the end by 2% - Gives out extra credit - Is really funny to talk to - Optional homework, but do it because the quizzes are similar to the homework - Helpful in office hours Cons: - Goes into unnecessary detail with proofs during lecture - Exams are really difficult - Isn't very good at lecturing - Teaching style is literally just writing what the textbook says - No practice exams for the midterms If you take this class with Jaime, you'll have to do a lot of self-studying with Justin's videos and notes but he's a great person to just talk to and super funny and he definitely tries to make sure that you pass the class. |

If ur coming into ur freshman year, you'll have a great time here. You'll make a ton of friends, have a lot of fun, and still get to enjoy multi variable calc for what it is. If you're a little older and and are just trying to pass a class, then this class is a little lacking in resources. You'll need to do a lot of homework and research on your own to prepare for the final properly. Jamie is a great guy, although sometimes I do get lost in his explanations since they get too conceptual, and are sometimes hard to relate to actually solving problems. Overall, the community in this class combined with the initial rigour it provided leads me to give this class a solid 9/10. Just try not to make any mistakes, he gives really bad partials. |
