What do you like best about this course?:
The Professor teaching the course.
Professor DuPre' was very good at breaking down the calculus and making it very understandable.
The instructor really wants the students to understand what the formulas are not just how to use them.
Lectures are engaging and workshops are fun but challenging at the same time.
If you were teaching this course, what would you do differently?:
Nothing. Professor DuPre is wonderful.
I would assign easier workshops
Add a few more real life application to the problems. It tends to keep people more attentive. Math is usually a dry subject for students to sit through for 3 hours.
I would choose better examples for problems that are being demonstrated on the board in order to make sure that everyone gets a clearer understanding of the topics being taught.
In what ways, if any, has this course or the instructor encouraged your intellectual growth and progress?:
Professor DuPre has made me want to actually learn the material.
I've boned my study tactics a great deal under professor DuPre'. I've been able to understand parts of calculus that I never could before.
He would give us a challenge or a problem to think about on our own, in which we would follow up with next class.
The professor has shown me new applications of mathematical concepts using calculus.
Other comments or suggestions::
Thank you professor DuPre'!
Good teacher and good pace in which the class was laid out. A lot of material, not too much time.
