Prof. Warner is the most straightforward professor I've ever had, a real no-nonsense kind of guy. He shows up, goes to town on the chalkboard, and leaves after 50 min, make sure to take notes. Also, he has really funny sayings that he uses during his lectures. All and all, one of the best professors I've had at UW!
Math328
No syllabus, no email, no course website, no office hours (or probably 30 mins per week), so get prepared if you have to take his class!!!
MATH328
Professor Warner is something of a rarity nowadays, he doesn't have a syllabus, no office hours, doesn't answer emails and his exams are typed on a typewriter. If you have a hard time understanding math and need some help from the teacher, stay away, if not, you might find his style of teaching refreshingly old school
MATH327
I would like to emphasize that this is NOT A CLASS YOU WANT TO TAKE IF YOU LIKE GETTING HELP FROM THE TEACHER!! Dr. Warner does not have a syllabus, email, office hours, or website. What he does have is tenure. Nobel Prize to anyone who can get letter of recommendation from him. This guy is like a legend to me, but not a good one.

Once you get past the fact that he is pretty unfriendly and doesn't provide help outside of class, you will realize that he's a good professor. While it may not seem like it at first, he really has a passion for mathematical theory. Lectures are hard to follow, tests are easy. My grade was much higher than I thought it would be.
MATH327
His lectures are not that great. Very difficult to understand. He does however go over a lot of examples. His exam questions come from lectures and from his mind, i.e., do not expect anything similar to a book problem on the exam. That being said, 1 past exam and you are set for a good grade, as the questions are similar. Hard class, mediocre prof.
MATH327
He is a really smart teacher probably one of the smartest at the UW but he isn't very good at teaching take him only if you have to. When you ask questions he is very condecending with his answers. Like others said he is unapproachable doesn't own a computer or a telephone.
MATH327
Great lectures; be sure not to miss class. Prof. not available outside of class (no syllabus, web page, office hours, etc). Just study his lectures and examples he gives in class before exams, and you'll do fine.
Math327
Being taught by this man is like being taught by a talking monolith. His lectures are the best video-recorded lectures you will ever watch live. He plows through material, and for some reason nobody ever wants to ask questions, but he's good at answering when you do. Disappears when the bell rings. Writes all over the board. Not easy to follow.
MATH324
I strongly dislike this professor. He is very unfair when it comes to grading and doesn't give partial credit on exams. I got the lowest score on a math exam ever in his class. He is very difficult to learn from and speeds through lecture without slowing down. He gives homework, but it isn't part of your grade. That frustrated me. I think he sucks.
MATH328
Great professor. In my class the original grading plan was--3 tests. If you get 50% average, you get 2.0. But so many people did bad on their second exam, that he changed the grading by taking only 2 top exams. Very easy class
MATH324
His teaching style is ballin'. Comes to class, starts writing on the board before the bell rings, and once the bell rings for end of class, he's out and you'll never see him again until next class period. No e-mail, no syllabus, no webpage, no office-hours, fantastic.
Math324
Show up every day and take notes like mad. Memorize them, because if he uses an example from the class on a test he is BRUTAL in grading it. He took 20 points off me for a missed sign. He is very unapproachable and hard to get help from. Overall, this class kind of sucked.
MATH327
I love Prof. Warner SO SO much, so it's really unfortunate that he doesn't know me. But then again, he doesn't know anyone in his classes. Even though he's famous for being elusive, cold and anti-social, Warner is VERY passionate about math, and REALLY loves it. He's NOT an easy teacher, but I think he's a genius.
MATH324
His tests are easy, homework isn't graded, and he is lenient with his grading. You only need to take notes. I never read the book. One night of study before each test is all that is really needed. I studied three nights in all for this class (three exams), and I did really well. Extra help is not available for the most part. Very quotable! =)
math327
Great lectures, but doesn't hold office hours and somehow vanishes exactly as the bell rings so it's hard to ask him a question. Do not close the door!
math308
Very mean, gives low grades for spite, refuses to hold office hours, exams require a greater amount of insight and practice than you gain in a single quarter. That said, Prof Warner knows this stuff extremely well, particularly classical analysis. You will become an expert at the temporary expense of a lower grade than you might obtain elsewhere.
MATH324
He has a very unique teaching style and a dry sense of humor. He kind of grows on you. Not unlike mold, but this is mold I like. He comes in, explains everything very systematically and fully, firing away at the board-- that's it. Hard to find outside of class, but you can indeed find him in the library often.
