Salathe is extremely helpful and fun. His examples are very clear and are meant to interest anyone, including those who do not like math. He is a great professor and always goes above and beyond to help his students.

Best mathematics professor of any kind I've run across. His explanations are simpler than most and yet clarify the material in five minutes better than some professors do in an hour. He is not easy per se, but he is fair, and his tests reflect that -- certainly compared to other professor's tests, they expect only moderate mastery of the material.

Salathe is hilarious. He keeps class fun and interesting. He teaches to the homework and test. He gives good study guides. He teaches little tricks to help, so if you don't have a strong background in algebra/trig/geometry don't worry, he will help!

Awesome guy! Its a tough class to take at Lehigh but he teaches it well. Real smart guy, can be funny at times. He does call out kids who sleep in class but makes it funny.

easiest class at lehigh by far. Tells you everything you need to know, tests are the most basic form of problem. I only went to class twice and got an A

Seriously the best math professor I've ever had. His tests are the absolute basic forms of the problems and if you attend class you will have no problem getting an A. Homework is in the textbook and if you fall asleep in class... he will catch you.

Lectures are basically necessary for acing the class, unless you're a genius. The class is pretty easy if you pay attention and stay awake during class. Always available for extra help, and he gives good examples for the concepts.

Great professor. Highly recommend taking him if you can. HIs lectures are interesting, although the pace is quick so be sure to stay awake... Exams are incredibly straight-forward, almost identical to the practice sheets he gives before the test. Very helpful teacher and worthwhile class overall.

Basically a straight up boss. tests are pretty easy except for the final. The review sheets are helpful. Very funny man, you will not be too bored in his long lectures. Likes to bring in baby toys when explaining things.

Easy tests as long as you do the review sheets. His lectures can be longwinded, but overall funny and informative.

Great teacher, he's hilarious if you pay attention in class and catch his jokes. His 4 o'clocks are easy (6 questions) but even if they weren't you would be well prepared. Super helpful and friendly.

Great teacher, doesn't make you memorize any formulas. He teaches you how to derive them from any picture. The class moves pretty quickly, but is easy to understand. He will wake you up in lecture (funny if its not you) and will make plenty of jokes to keep the class fun. Textbook is only necessary for homework, nothing else.

Great professor. Moves quickly through lecture, so you have to pay attention (he wakes you up if you're sleeping) and take good notes, but he still manages to keep it light so it's not too boring. Go to class to make sure you understand the material. Homework can be brutal, but so worth it once you see how easy his exams are. Take him if you can.

Excellent teacher. Details all subject matter and its purposes with thorough examples, and helps understand why the math works instead of just stating facts. Slight accent becomes unnoticeable after time. Same Calc book as Calc 21. 1.5 hour sessions well spent.

Great professor! He makes all of the material very easy to learn and really helps you UNDERSTAND the material. Exams are extremely easy, but the homework can be hard and laborious.

Amazing Professor! TAKE HIS CLASS. Lectures are easy to follow and are amusing. People who fall asleep are constantly ridiculed. The exams are simple, use his old exams to study.
