What do you like best about this course?:
Matt was an awesome instructor and very approachable! Always had answers to our questions!
It's very useful for describing motions. And it's closely relevant to physics, which makes it easier to understand intuitively.
I liked his way of teaching the best. It was easy to understand, especially as we progressed to the more difficult material.
The professor
I love to see teachers who are passionate about what they are teaching it makes me wish I could enjoy the subject as much as they do. I liked that he would do his best to present the material in the best way possible given the time constraints.
If you were teaching this course, what would you do differently?:
Nothing.
I would not do anything differently if I were teaching the course.
There is very few things I would do differently. Mr. Charnley was excellent in explaining all the concepts, presenting examples and applications, and answering any questions I had.
not a thing
In what ways, if any, has this course or the instructor encouraged your intellectual growth and progress?:
He is always showing us how even the hardest of topics can be tackled in the simplest of ways.
He tries to make everybody at the class understand the materials.
The instructor helped me understand the fundamental material so that when we started to cover the more difficult material, I did not have a hard time understanding it.
Mr. Charnley had a great, positive attitude throughout the summer. For 8 AM, it was awesome to have someone with such a great attitude.
I was just trying to pass so it was kind of hard to be encouraged intellectually when my mind was set on finishing this class without wasting the thousands of dollars that was spent on taking these summer classes.
Other comments or suggestions::
Matt did a really great job teaching this summer math session. He was always encouraging and made sure everyone had a fair chance at asking their questions as well as doing a great job answering them. By far the best Calculus course I've taken here at Rutgers.
Mr. Charnley was an excellent instructor. He was, by far, the best instructor I've had here at Rutgers. I hope that he is teaching Differential Equations next semester, because he can explain any math concept very well.
This course was not easy for me considering the last math class I took was damn near 2yrs ago. I forgot a lot of things that my classmates breezed over but I realize that I can't complain since all that I needed to succeed was at my disposal. If I had taken this class during the semester with Matt I'm sure I would have done well. If I didn't need this for P-chem I wouldn't have taken it. Side Note:I hate filling these things out bc they always show up when I'm supposed to be preparing for the final exam. *sighs*
