Abror Pirnapasov MATH136 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/12/2024	He is very nice and a very fair grader. But, he is not a good lecturer. It's an easy class if you've already taken a calculus class. Also, half of the lowest midterm is dropped and all midterms/final are identical to his midterm samples. Attend class leading up to the exams because he doesn't post midterm samples with answers. The TAs were great and are lifesavers.
Abror Pirnapasov MATH136 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/11/2024	This was the easiest A+ ever, and I haven't taken Calc before. He has a thick accent and basically teaches straight from the textbook, but even so, I think he did an okay job teaching. The homework assignments were optional, but they were still good practice. Sometimes I felt like people were purposely trying not to understand what he was doing and complained about every little thing he did just because he wanted us to do it the long way instead of just doing something in two steps. Like, that's just part of the curriculum?!?! His practice exam questions are basically the exam but with different numbers. He also doesn't teach a lecture before the actual exam day and instead has a class just for working out the problems on the practice exam, showing us how to do them, which was very helpful. Just do the practice exams and make sure you understand the process for each one, and you're set.
Abror Pirnapasov MATH136 Expecting an A- Anonymous 12/06/2024	If you've taken calc before it's an easy A, but if you haven't good luck. This man cannot teach to save his life, genuinely I don't think ive had someone so bad at teaching. All of the material is sooooo easy when it's actually explained, but dear god he can't explain it. The TA's were where I actually learned stuff. He grades fair on his exams, they're very straight forwards and he gives practice exams before the midterms which look identical to the actual midterm. He only changes the numbers really. He drops half of the lowest midterm, which boosts your grade a bit and he is very willing to look over exam questions you feel you should've gotten full points for. Morally and personality wise he's great, but cannot teach even if there was a gun to his head. He knows his stuff but he just can't explain it and his notes re very unorganized. The average on the midterms were 95%'s.
