What do you like best about this course?:
the textbook haha
it was simple
The professor is very accommodating to the students' schedules.
Detailed explaination
explanation stands out from a modern mathematics's perspective, connections with other branches of mathematics; like the way that he wanted to hear feedback from students
The professor is very nice and patient
The professor was incredibly detailed with lecture notes, and covered material very clearly and quickly at each lecture. Moreover, the professor gave concise reviews to reinforce recent materials.
extending linear algebra concepts into real world applications was interesting
If you were teaching this course, what would you do differently?:
no idea
I would slow down
I wish we had a newer version of a textbook. I also did not like that the chalkboard was filled with notes before class even started, because once class started I felt like I was rushing to write things down rather than listening to the professor speak.
writing styles; examples' selection; a bit of explanation
simply the notes on the board
I would prepare powerpoints for the lectures.
none
Maybe slow down in between topics during lecture. Though the professor asks if anyone has questions, many students seem to still be writing at that moment because of how incredibly detailed the lecture notes are. In between topics/examples/problems, please give a longer pause to allow students to finish writing the lecture notes and some time to review where they had questions.
In what ways, if any, has this course or the instructor encouraged your intellectual growth and progress?:
prompting me to read the text
learned many cool methods in solving systems
the instructor's compiling of class sites
I learned a great deal of the optimization stuff
Nothing comes to mind at the moment.
seeing some applications of math in the real world and also learning new methods of solving linear systems was very motivating
Other comments or suggestions::
no recitation
Awesome professor!
n/a
nice work great professor
Nothing comes to mind at the moment.
