Prof. Petrov's lecture sometimes becomes fast, but he does explain everything necessary to succeeding in this course. Office hour is helpful. Midterms are not hard, while the final is a little bit but fair. Overall it is not an easy course, but you will definitely learn a great deal if you understand every point in lecture and assignment.
Like with any math class, you're going to have to learn a lot of the material on your own. Initially, I was turned off by Petrov's teaching style, but grew to find him funny and knowledgeable. Midterms were graded generously, the final was a bit tougher than the midterms, but he curved it. Overall, I recommend Petrov, just be willing to do the work.
This course is tough. It is all about visualizing 3-D spaces, which I am not particularly good at.
There were 10 homeworks (about 1 per week with around 15 problems each), 3 pop quizzes during the discussion section (that really don't hurt your grade), and 3 midterms. This class is a fair amount of work and self-teaching. Do NOT get behind and make sure you understand the early topics really well because they will come back to haunt you at the end.
That being said, Prof. Petrov makes this class bearable and he is very helpful when you need it. He will literally respond to messages within seconds. He's a great guy and really understands the math so I would HIGHLY recommend taking Calculus III with him if he teaches it again.
