Spring 2021 - Professor Roper is an excellent professor who truly values whether or not his students learn in his class. Being an undergrad taking his class, I was a bit worried about the pace and the rigor of the class. However, I soon realized that Professor Roper is extremely helpful during lecture as well as his office hours. I found his lectures to be extremely interesting and engaging, and I can safely say through this that he is one of the best maths professors in our department. I would recommend this class 10/10. Thank you, Professor Roper.
