| instructor comments : | Dr. Semazzi has a little bit of a British/African accent, but it's fine once you're atuned to it. He's very open to answering the class's questions which is great, but I think some other folks still felt like he didn't really pull the material home. |

| class comments : | If you studied your notes and went over the problems in the book it was pretty easy to pass this class. Making an A could be difficult at times because there were daily quizzes that only had one problem. You miss it and you get a zero for the day. A couple of these in a row would really bring down your average. Basically your grade is computed by averaging your quiz average with your exam average. If you're doing poorly on the quizzes you can use the exam to pull your grade up. |

She can be anal retentive about certain rules and exactitude. Has a German accent, but she's still pretty easy to understand. I don't think she was so helpful outside of class, but assignments were always returned promptly. |

Anyways, avoid her. Tests were graded insanely on detail, where most teachers would give u the points for knowing the concept and just forgetting something small (such as a negative) she would count off almost all credit since u got the wrong answer... |

| instructor comments : | Not readily available outside of class but seemed willing to work with you. Hard to understand for first few weeks, due to strong accent (he's from Unganda). Assignments were graded inconsistantly by the graders. Tests were usually only 5 questions. |

| class comments : | No attendance policy causes many people to fail this class. That and you really have to be on top of your study habits to teach yourself what you need to do well. Tests consist of 4-5 multistep problems. Always used greek letters and symbols instead of numbers. No calculator! (WTF) |

| instructor comments : | This guy sucks. Class consisted of "Does anyone have any questions from the homework?" Followed by letting us out early when nobody spoke up. He only actually tought once a week or so. Great way to fail many freshman with bad study habits. What an ass. The only reason this guy's grade distribution is this any good is because if you stayed long enough into an exam, either the TA or himself started giving hints to lead you to the right answer. |

The only positive things about him was he graded assignments promptly and helped adjust grades when the entire class did horrible. Beware of this professor!!! I would never take another class taught by him! |

If you want a good grade, come to class on time every day and make sure she knows your name, and if you pay attention you'll get to know what problems she tends to put on the tests (which are all directly from the book) |

| class : | Fall 2003 section 016 |

| class comments : | The class was semi-hard if you hadn't taken the class in high school. The material was new to me and Dozier didn't make very good examples and made tests very different from example problems. |
| instructor : | Dozier |
| instructor rating : | 1 - Bad |
| instructor comments : | He made a lot of jokes that he only understood, he also like Star Wars. He's often in his office during office hours. He just didn't make a lot of useful examples that could be related to the exam. Most of the time the example was easier than that on the exam. |

| course comments : | First semester Calculus course...not much else to say. It gives a solid foundation for the next two semesters. It all comes down to whether or not you study. |

| class rating : | 3 - Good |
| class comments : | Two-day-a-week Calc I course. Lots of material to be covered in a day. For me, this is what kept my attention. I'd take MA241 at the same time slot if I were able to. Pope thoroughly covered the material even though he did walk onto some wild tangents occasionally. An hour of study per day for the class is just fine. |
| instructor : | Pope |
| instructor rating : | 3 - Good |
| instructor comments : | HIS NATIVE LANGUAGE IS ENGLISH!!! In the department of Mathematics, this seems to be a rare find these days. Pope was always eager and able to answer questions in the course. Pope's dry sense of humor kept the anxiety at a level just enough to kick you into learning. |

| class comments : | The class was very easy, she made tests incredibly easy. The only work is what is required for the class, WebAssigns and Maple. She always would answer questions in class about WebAssign. Attendance policy was not enforced much. Material presented well and in a very easy to understand mannor. Class almost always let out early and was very often cancelled. |

| instructor comments : | Good guy, very relaxed. I didn't like some of the methods he used for teaching, and having had the class in high school already, liked my former teacher better. About as good as you could ask for compared to the teachers of my friends, from what I can tell though. Very easy going fella. |

| instructor rating : | 4 - Awesome |
| instructor comments : | A great teacher. She always had hours she could help, would do anything inside and outside of class to help a student do well. I know for some she held study sessions and did reviews as needed. Unlike new teachers, she knew the information very well... she could do calc AND teach it, something my last TA I had couldn't do well. Also she is very caring, and tries to accomidate everyone. (She gave the class goodie bags on Easter... what teacher does that?). Her style reminds me of what exist |

| instructor comments : | Silverstein wasn't horrible- I'm sure he would be a good teacher if you understood what he was saying. He speaks perfect English, but he talks way above anyone's head and goes at a pace no one can really keep up with. If you ask him a question he gets mad or answers it in a way you don't understand. I only got an A because I had a really good calculus teacher in highschool and I only studied those notes. |
