He is a very unorganized professor, and the lecture is TOTALLY nonsense, NEVER take his class

He doesn't even try to teach. He gets all his examples from the book which is completely fine if he elaborates on them, but he rarely even finishes the examples. Half way through and he is like, "It is a waste of class time, so look it up in the book during your own time." If I am teaching my self, then what we paying him for?

Worst professor I've ever had at UW. Going to class is an entire waste of time, nothing makes sense because he explains it so poorly. I've learned more about linear algebra in 2 hours on youtube than he's taught this entire quarter. Only reason I still go to class is to make sure I don't miss the end of quarter surveys about professor quality.

Horrible. Don't take his class.

Doesn't cover material well in class. Expects yo to learn from the text book and if you come in to ask for help he will make you feel stupid for not understanding the book. He's not very nice about anything and doesn't respect the students.

Class was very difficult, but professor did an excellent job making sure the entire class was up to speed before moving on. Good mix of theory and computational work.

Not nice to talk to, always mumbles insults under his breath about the class lack of understanding due to his lack of skills in teaching. Should have gone in to politics because he is a master of not answering your question and making you feel stupid about asking it.

i'm midway through the quarter, absolutely horrible, he gets pissed when we don't understand some example problems. sucks at teaching in general. just drop the class, i should have done the same before the deadline.

He's not a very good teacher, or a very nice person.
