So basically he's a nice old guy but if you're can't stay awake in morning classes, this will suck for you. Bring stuff to eat, and if that doesn't work, bring homework. He gives extremely conceptual explanations that do not register at 9:00 am in the morning, and his homework involves a program called Mathematica, so if you procrastinate, chances are you'll be spending Thursday nights in Powell... The worst thing's probably his homework handouts, which are e-mailed to you. A few days later, u'll receive a error corrections email, and a few days after that you'll get a corrections to the corrections e-mail. All together, hard to organize. That said, the plus sides include not always having to go to class as long as you can teach yourself math. I went to class maybe once every two weeks, and never met my TA. The midterm was more like practice final, and final was mostly fair. So basically, Study+ Practice= A

His lectures: boring and lack insights His notes (he hands out his notes): quite interesting and unexpectedly detailed His exams: average His care for student's learning: fluctuates around average My respect for him as a professor: average The only thing I like about his class is his notes, that's strange, but they are pretty detailed for Differential Equations' notes, I mean, Applied stuff is generally not detailed. (I love Math so I'm up for anything that improves my knowledge.)
