MATH 3340

This was Ryan's first semester as a teacher, and I thought he overall did a great job. He is very understanding and willing to push back the schedule to give us more time to master material, even if that means we cover less material overall. There are three midterms and a final worth 40% of your grade, and each of them have the opportunity to get bonus points. The quizzes are quick and normally just cover one lecture. I will say WebAssign and Written Homeworks were the most difficult part of the course, but he dropped 15% of the WebAssign questions and you didn't have to do every question on the written homeworks for full points. If you are a decent student you will get a 90+ in this class, I heard multiple people before the final saying they needed something like a 50 on it to get an A. This is a course with a lot of assignments, but they are graded nicely and not too time consuming, cannot recommend it enough. #tCFF23

I took this class to fulfill the final requirement for the APMA minor, so it isn't a style of math class that I am used to and it was a bit of a learning curve, so if you are coming from the engineering school, be aware of this. This class was interesting and you learn a lot, but had some proof focus that I did not understand. Ryan is a new, but good instructor. This class had a lot of work including in-class activities, WebAssign, and written homework, and had a quiz every 1-2 weeks in class. I found that the weight of each assignment was fair and the exams aren't weighed too much (3 exams and a final for a total of 33%). One of the issues I had with the course was the inconsistency with the grading, as the TA would grade much harder than the professor which led to some shocks when I got some grades back. Overall, I think its a good class if you are interested, but difficult if you are taking it as an elective. #tCFF23
