| instructor comments : | Ramsay's been one of my favorite teachers here; I've had him for a hojillion classes--MA421, 425, 493, and an independent study with him--and he's been pretty good for all of them. Pretty easy to work with, very laid back, has a decent sense of humor (even if it's old guy humor some of the time), and isn't overly difficult or demanding. Fun guy! |

| instructor comments : | Fantastic Math Instructor. If you learn by example this is your man. Semi-retired so he only has 1-2 classes a semester. Always at office hours and willing to work with students. Old guy jokes never get old. Easy going and friendly |

| course : | MA 241H |
| course rating : | 2 - Average |
| course comments : | MA 241 is one of the weed out courses for engineering I think. The honors section is terrible. |
| class : | Spring 2003 section 041 |
| grade received : | F |
| class rating : | 0 - Horrible |
| class comments : | In class you're given a formula or equation shown an example and expected to know it inside an out. He uses as Maple and a homework you print out yourself as "practice." The tests usually only mimic the homeworks, i.e. they only have about four or five problems. It's really easy to start making low grades and not be able to pull it up. He rambles about his marathons frequently in the middle of his lectures. It's a real bore. He's a nice guy. He just can't teach. |

| instructor comments : | Hands back assignments promptly. Will try and help if you talk to him after class. He's friendly and funny, but he's a horrid teacher. |
