Pros: He honestly teaches he important material quite well and skips some tedious material that we went into annoyingly deep detail in the other calc 2 class I had taken in the fall.
Cons: He didn't adequately prepare us for one exam. He briefly taught the lesson on power series just a few days prior to exam 4, which was had a majority of the questions over that material. The homework was even due two days after the exam. The written hw is also extremely tedious and difficult in comparison to the online hw.
He starts the class with easy subjects and lulls you into a false sense of security with the extremely easy first exam. You suddenly realize that the class has more depth once you get into the material for exam 2, but you tell yourself that if you work hard enough you'll survive. You realize by the third exam that this class wasn't what you thought it was, and the hw assignments only get more difficult. But you make through the 3rd exam thinking it had to be the worst of it. Then the material starts taking a drastic turn before exam 4. You realize this material will never be used by any major, but you swallow all the useless methods for finding whether a series converges or diverges and feel confident about the last exam. Then the fateful day finally arrives. All confidence is stripped from you as he metaphorically shoves the whole class in a chamber of despair, confusion, and pure agony called EXAM 4, destroying all hopes of ever escaping the class with a grade above a C. Your spirit is broken. You crawl to the final and do better, but the you can still feel the sting of exam 4 biting at your soul. The class is over for me now, and all I can say is make sure you do good on homework and the first few exams. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, FOR THE LOVE OF THE FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER, KNOW THE POWER SERIES BEFORE EXAM 4.
