Extremely neat handwriting, very organized, structured and clean
Cons: No electronics, which is reasonable but he will call you out for it in class by reiterating that he doesn't allow electronics/distractions
He's the best professor I've ever had. I wish he could teach all of my classes!

MATH 2800
INTRO TO DISCRETE STRUCTURES
Pros: Explains things Concisely
Cons: Personal Problem but I could not stay awake at all
It's a good, pretty easy class. He give you plenty of chances to do well in his class. Explains content well and concisely. The only thing is I always fell asleep each class, the girl I always sat with had to wake me up alot.....
He writes the study guides and tests himself so there's no big varation between his homework, study guides, and tests

MATH 1010
CALCULUS I
Pros: American accent. Easy to follow, writes neatly. Could go to only three lectures and to the tests and get a 100
Cons: writing a little small, sit towards frot of class. Tests are sometimes tricky, he likes theoretical questions and tricky true/falses.
The class is easy, but you have to pay attention. If you do all of the homework problems and know how to do them then you should have no problem.

MATH 2010
MULTIVAR CALC & MATRIX ALGEBRA
Pros: Fantastic instructor, explains every pen mark during lecture and will make sure everyone knows the concept before explaining further.
Cons: Unnoticeable, if any.
He has been doing this for many years and has essentially perfected his teaching style. His voice can get monotonous at times, but he will make sure you know the concept down to the pluses, minuses, and equal signs.

MATH 2010
MULTIVAR CALC & MATRIX ALGEBRA
Pros: Knows what he's talking about
Cons: Poor at explaining things to those who are new to the subject (ie matrices)
Although I did well on the third exam, which was the matrices one, most people did poorly. So I would recommend highly that you study with friends and ask all the stupid questions and get them out of the way.
