He gave nightly homework, but wasn't willing to spend much time going over it in class the next day. 3 exams split 2/3s of the grade, with the final counting the last 1/3. |

Enjoyed hearing about the "sporty method" of solving certain problems, and all of his quaint British expressions kept the class entertaining. Pretty good at interacting with the class during lectures, and explains things pretty well. I think he's retired now, though, so it might be a moot point. If you missed out on him, I'm sorry. |

| instructor rating : | 4 - Awesome |
| instructor comments : | I believe he is the best math teacher you can get. He has lots to say, and often he will simply talk about his personal experiences in mathematics instead of teaching for a little while. He still manages to cover his material though. And he is really funny. Don't sit near the front of the class or near the aisles unless you want to be picked on. |

This was until his final exam. I had an A+ in the class and dropped to a B+ bc he put problems on the exam that were like nothing we had on the homework or previous tests... which is what I had studied! I would take him again but I was pretty pissed about the final. |

| course comments : | I wouldn't say the material is extremely interesting, but I know there is a lot of practical application and it will come up in later classes. Not exceptionally hard, but pay attention. Course was required for my major. |
| class : | Fall 2003 section 002 |
| grade received : | A- |
| class rating : | 4 - Awesome |
| class comments : | The class was very fair. The way grades are determined is clearly explained from day 1. Attendance is supposedly taken and counts for 5% of the final course grade. Class never got out early and sometimes went overtime when he started late. If you know how to do the homework (only one homework set per test), you will ace the tests. Pace is important on the tests. You can know how to do everything and get caught by the time. Watch out for the final. It was entirely too long. |

| instructor rating : | 4 - Awesome |
| instructor comments : | Hoon Hong is the man. Very funny and personable. He really cuts the fat and teaches only what you need to know. The T.A. graded everything, and sometimes it wasn't returned promptly, but that was often because there were people that took the test late or something. Has an accent, but is easy enough to understand, and has good grammar. |

| instructor rating : | 2 - Average |
| instructor comments : | Decent guy, speaks english pretty well. He allows you to bring a formula sheet to the tests and leaves everything else up to you. If you pretend to understand what he's doing on the board, study on your own during the homeworks and make a good enough formula sheet, you'll do fine. |

| instructor comments : | Dr. Siewert sucks. He told me I was gonna fail on the second day of class. He told us we didnt have to come to class cause he was just reading straight from the book. He told us not to take notes. Not only did I not learn anything in the class, he confused me on stuff I already knew. He's a lazy professor who doesnt care about his students. Bad bad BAD teacher. |

don't buy the book you will never use it w/ Hong
if you sit in the Front he will pick on you
all you have is your notes to go by so do not miss a class. |

| instructor comments : | I liked him alot at first - he explained things very well and was entertaining. What I did not like was that he would tell us there would be homework posted on the web, and then not post it. Not that I love to do hw but I needed alot of practice on the problems, especially since each test covered alot of material. I tried to talk to him about this issue 3 different times, and he said "yeah I broke my promise but the MA dept doesn't like it that my classes' GPAs are higher that the other 341 |

| class comments : | Most informative and helpful lectures I've had for any course. There's no textbook so you learn everything in class, no graded homeworks, and no surprises on the tests. You DO have to know how to do the stuff to pass, but if you just practice with the sample tests and homeworks, you will do fine. |
| instructor : | Hong |
| instructor rating : | 4 - Awesome |
| instructor comments : | Best lecturer I've ever had, bar none. He has that "respected humor," and he always answers questions and leaves no doubt if you aren't afraid to ask. He really wants everyone to succeed and will do anything legal to help you. Definitely take him if you respond well to effective teachers. |

| instructor comments : | Silverstein taught this one, not Tran. I thought I would hate this guy at the beginning of the semester, but he didn't turn out too bad. If your final is higher than the average of the three exams, he'll use it as a final grade or something. |

| class rating : | 3 - Good |
| class comments : | He let us have a take home test, which rocked. And class was funny cuz he says some crazy shit. But he writes his notes in paragraphs, which blows in math, very hard to follow. Lots of hard material presented well though, if he could get his message through. |
| instructor : | Rodriguez |
| instructor rating : | 3 - Good |
| instructor comments : | Rodriguez likes to teach and make lots of jokes during the class. but his paragraph note style is very frustrating. you get lost very easily. he kinda has a latino lisp, so sometimes hard to understand. but his jokes and comments were hilarious. kinda helpful outside of class but hard to reach |

| course comments : | It's algebra on crack. The problems are five percent diff eq stuff, then 95 percent algebra. Pretty easy class, and PAY ATTENTION!!! Engineers need this stuff for later classes. Covered 1st and 2nd order diff eqns, laplace transforms, and a little on matrices. A lot (entire first test) was review from the diff eq stuff in calc 2. Required for MAE |

| class comments : | It was in summer, so the class was every day and an hour and a half. Not for the faint of heart. Homework given but not taken up. No attendance policy. Two tests and a final, with many chances for extra credit. That's the only way I managed an A. Lectures were pretty much problems from the book w/ occasional proofs that you shouldn't bother to write down. |
| instructor : | Fulp |
| instructor rating : | 3 - Good |
| instructor comments : | He was busy with math dept stuff, so not very available outside of class. Got the feeling that if you have trouble w/ math he is not the prof for you, but great for anyone who knows thier stuff and just wants to blaze through diff eq without much work. Very friendly tho. Usually teaches higher level stuff. |

| class comments : | I had to spend a bit of time teaching myself. Chukwu is almost impossible to understand. He has a pretty strong Nigerian accent and often times trails off to a mumble only to start up again with a yell. I only learned from the examples he did. The theory was really hard to understand when it came from him. A combination of disorganization and his voice made it tough. |
| instructor : | Chukwu |
| instructor rating : | 2 - Average |
| instructor comments : | I give him an average just because he's a really nice guy and really willing to help out. He told us stories a lot and tried to make things fun. |

| class comments : | Tests were moderately difficult, but not extreme. Basically the same as the homework problems and nothing that we had not covered. No attendence policy, could use the book to teach yourself if necessary. CES did a pretty good job of teaching the material, mostly through examples. Had a few random tangents (math) that were interesting. Class usually got out early. |

| instructor comments : | Not nearly as bad as everyone says. He is a nice guy and tries to be funny. Make sure you talk back to him if he tries to pick on you, don't be scared of him. It makes it fun if you aren't. Very accessible during office hours, was ready to help you if you needed it. Very to the point type of guy. |

| class comments : | The instructor said he would never curve a test. Everyone did so bad on the first test that there was like a 20 point curve. Tests were brutal if you werent up to date with your integration techniques, and trig identities in particular. He expects you to know and be able to do everything you learned in calculus with no problem. I dont really know how helpful the book was as I never opened it. Homework was optional, but I assume it was helpful. |
