Flexible but tough at the same time. Brand new professor, and disorganized. He was helpful in offering extra credit, and he let us pick how we want our grading system to be, but almost everyone got between a 40-60% on the midterm. His style of teaching shows hes interested in the subject, but near the end of the semester it seemed he started to get frustrated with us not knowing things (which is partially his fault for not teaching us long-term memory). He also has never used canvas before and uploaded a syllabus that wasn't even his. Our midterm was October 31st, and we still have yet to even have an assignment created for it on canvas. Although he is very interested in the subject and wants to find a way for us all to pass, he is a typical "new professor" who hasn't found their style of teaching yet. |

He is a new teacher (this was his first semester ever teaching calculus), so I understand why he was disorganized, but he was disorganized. Lectures were direct readings from the textbook, and it is consistently difficult to follow his approaches. On the other hand, he is incredibly flexible when it comes to grading and timing of assignments. All homework was due at the end of the semester, and the grading was 20% attendance (he doesn't take attendance, so it's guaranteed), 40% homework (participation, but kind of a double edged sword), and 15% midterm, 25% final. I do not feel as though he has effectively prepared the class for the final in any effect, but he is a fun professor and may be better in the future. |
