Really a great guy, this professor does want you to do good. He just flies through the material in class as if we understand where he's going until everyone's so lost they just kind of doze off. I got A's in math every year, but for some reason bombed Passell's course.

Positive:

Is challenging

Shows a love of teaching

Shows a great knowledge of subject matter

Comes to class organized

 

Negative:

Would not recommend this professor

Overly difficult tests or assignments

Notes/lecture is confusing

A basically nice guy, just not a very good teacher. He gets impatient when people don't understand what he believes to be basic concepts. His testing goes a step beyond what he teaches in class, so the tests tend to be fairly difficult. I would recommend that people in lower level math avoid him, although math majors may enjoy the challenge.

Positive:

Is challenging

Shows a great knowledge of subject matter

Has enthusiasm in the classroom

 

Negative:

Would not recommend this professor

Confusing or hard to understand

Overly difficult tests or assignments

Professor does not relate to students

Lets face it this guy is old and boring, he tells stories that don't relate to class constantly. I had to drop because it was just too hard. He expects that everyone already knows the information. Unless you have already taken pre-calc and remember every single bit of it do not take the class with passell. He has this annoying monotone voice. He assigns a good amount of homework every day that is not collected. His tests are not really on material taught in class or from the book which sucks. This is an extremely hard class. He will tell you on the first day that a bunch of people will drop his class because they are too stupid. Oh yeah and he kinda looks like George W. Bush.

Positive:

Shows a great knowledge of subject matter

 

Negative:

Is a bad professor

Would not recommend this professor

Professor is boring or bland

Makes class too challenging

Poor sense of humor

Professor does not relate to students

Worst professors I've ever had!
