What do you like best about this course?:

Effective teaching

No comment.

Prof. Guadagni is very good in explaining complex topics despite the fact that the pace of this course is to fast for most students.

The information I learned was very interesting and applicable to engineering.

Its Calculus and Joe teaches it with a very good speed

There were many worked out examples of problems in lecture.

homeworks and problems

He was a great guy who was good at teaching calc.

The multitude of examples.

Prof. Guadagni was chill and explained things very well.

Professor is very kind.

Best professor I've had by far

Parametrization

Professor taught in very straightforward manner with many examples which was very helpful.

having time to work on problems in class

Professor was very engaging and very knowledgeable

After learning the topics it is great to solve example questions. It makes the material more understandable.

The instructor was great; disseminated information clearly

N/A

The class lectures held a great deal of knowledge which was hard to grasp, yet fulfilling once finally understood in later reviews. The difficult problems given in class allowed for a better understanding of easier problems when easily faced and a higher level of preparedness for other tasks.

The material was challenging, yet very interesting and and applicable to real life situation.

If you were teaching this course, what would you do differently?:

More preparation for midterms

No comment.

Not include so much different material in one course. When you have a class average of basically a 45 obviously we are not being given enough lecture time to understand these topics.

Go slower during lectures, and make tests fair and balanced, not trick questions all around.

Practice Problems/Worksheets

Perhaps give out practice exams for the midterms.

explain much easier for students who need help

Nothing really.

Nothing.

Prof Guadagni seems to be so damn smart that he doesn't understand that the rest of us arent on his level. It would be like you or me trying to explain subtraction to a toddler. I'm not sure if there's much to fix on that front but it is my one complaint.

Write bigger and in the center so that everyone in the class can see.

Nothing.

more in class problems

Assign several of the lectures to be review lectures. What greatly affected and improved my, as well as the rest of my class's, Calculus I grades was the fact that our instructor set aside specific lectures for review. The lecture before each midterm, as well as the last lecture of the semester, was used solely for review of all required material. This allowed students to have a much better understanding of the material before going into the exams and contributed to higher scores overall. Also, shoving in complex numbers at the last minute is not a wise decision by the math department. With so much in Calculus II to learn and memorize for a final by default, it is not good to force students to cram one more unrelated topic in the last week.

There are a lot of topics that have to be covered in this course, sometimes it seemed like a great deal of material for one lecture.

I would give hand-out problems to practice out of class.

Move a tad slower

slow the pace of the class and give more reasonable exams

I would make the exams a tad more manageable. They were what seemed in relation to other calc II classes, very very difficult

encourage different students to participate

Take more time when ensuring that students understood the topic to make sure they are following the concepts close to the time of them being taught, or even giving quizzes to ensure that students stay current on the material.

Spend less time on techniques that use a simple formula, such as integration by parts.

Pace the lectures differently.

In what ways, if any, has this course or the instructor encouraged your intellectual growth and progress?:

Self-sufficiency

No comment.

It made me realize just when you know it all, you can still fail the test.

No comment

test is too much challenge for student whom cannot catch up

He made my calculus knowledge greater than i ever thought possible.

Has not

He definitely inspired learning, cause you fail if you don't learn.

This class forced me to become a self directed learner because it was very hard to see anything in lectures.

More knowledge about calculus

Professor made difficult concepts easier to understand

none

Joe has inspired me to continue to pursue mathematics outside of school as he has shown it to be a fascinating subject with countless real world applications.

He could have been nicer and easier to talk to. He's very condescending and that discourages students from asking questions when they do not understand.

Instructor clearly knew a lot about math and was very passionate about it. He kept the subject interesting with his background information on everything

Would constantly give asides that I would later investigate

has not

I had to learn a lot on my own

NA

The high caliber level of the material and the speed at which it is taught forces students to adapt to the environment while still getting them to learn the content. Being able to learn in different environments from an early age ensures success at any other environment in which the students are tested, such as their job, making sure that students are well prepared and ready to join the next rank and move on to bigger things.

He pushed me intellectually and gave me a much better understanding of calculus and mathematics in general.

Very interesting person. Would take another of his courses. Asks good questions.

10/10 Give him a raise

Amazing professor

Joe should build a course schedule that allows him to have review session lectures.

NA

Went too fast in some places, too slow in others.
