Recommendations for Calc 3 teacher?


Curves are good for me because i usually do above class average but not that big of a deal.
Someone who speaks English with no ridiculous accent.

Yes, take Leslie Kurtz, she is a really good teacher. And she isn't terrible to look at either.

No Moody T Chu for you.

You either learn this or else I KILL YOU! YOU DIE.

and

Steeptest...Steeptest...Steeptest...

He was a good teacher though, it was just nuts as HELL trying to dig through his accent sometimes.

Petersen if he is teaching it

4/19/2008 6:10:20 AM

Dr. Capps

Dr. Stitzinger isn't bad either.

Dr. Capps is the man

4/19/2008 9:41:22 AM

hoon hong if he's teaching it...he doesn't fit your requirement of not having an accent(although his isn't ridiculous). but he is understandable, funny, a good instructor, and not difficult.

i had capps, not bad, for the H section... he knew he stuff and he taught it decently well from what i recall, i'd suggest him myself. no foreign accents

4/19/2008 11:27:41 AM

capps = 8:05 am

meh i don't do well early in the morning mostly because i'm a late night person.

i had the guy and he was amazing.

i think i had hoon hong way back in the day (graduated 5 years ago) I couldnt understand him but he was funny...(if this is the same guy) I did pretty good with his curving.

Dr. Moody Chu

hard (yet extremely fair) tests, but the curve is unbelievable

receptive of students

asian accent, but he's very understandable and his english is good

kheyfets, hands down

4/20/2008 12:11:55 AM

Get stitzinger if you can... I had him and it was bawlinnnn... Real easy

4/20/2008 12:50:30 AM

Stay away from Moody Chu. Getting up for Capps' 8 o clock class is worth it

4/20/2008 12:45:56 PM

I had Dr. Fulp

and made an A

pretty easy teacher

4/20/2008 1:00:00 PM

yeah me and still furshia had that person...with my tutoring still furshia made an easy a

4/20/2008 1:10:14 PM

+1 for Capps.

yeah, if you dont plan on taking any math past calc III and dont care about learning anything.

only thing good about him is his tests are really really easy. and he curves. people i know who had him as a teacher said they honestly didnt learn a thing with him teaching though

Dr. Stitzinger

I second this. I had her for calc II and III, and I'm taking diff. eq. with her this summer. She teaches at a nice pace, and she's very receptive to questions (both in and after class). I've made an A in both classes, and I'm not a "math person."

4/20/2008 10:19:18 PM

Dr. Capps is worth the 8:05, did maybe every third problem from his hw sets and made a hundred on all of them. You don't want to get stuck with calc 3 webassign... trust me.

4/21/2008 12:14:55 PM

calc. 3 webassigns were a breeze. if you have any trouble at all you can go to the pmtc and they'll walk you through it anyway.

4/21/2008 12:17:22 PM

If Fulp is still out there, I recommend him. I learned absolutely nothing in 241, but 242 wasn't bad at all with him.

4/21/2008 1:13:31 PM

physics & math tutorial center?

4/21/2008 2:05:46 PM

yes. saved my ass several times.

4/21/2008 2:22:47 PM

i usually just don't do web assigns if they take more than a fair amount of time. I'd rather just study for other classes or get ahead than waste time getting an extra 1% of my grade. On the other hand if it becomes a regular thing then its not worth losing that much off your final grade just because of webassign...



i guess i'll see next semester.

4/21/2008 2:25:47 PM

I'm just saying that because I had Moody Chu's Class freshman year, first semester, first class (8:05). Needless to say, had to do freshman retake and got an A with Capps
