APMA 2130

this is definitely the most time-consuming APMA class. the homeworks take forever for the first half of the semester and then decrease in time slightly. definitely have to put the time in to understand and practice concepts

Professor Fulgham is very knowledgeable and has good lecture notes. He does use powerpoints, which I didn't particularly like, but the notes are thorough and easy to follow (as well as online). I enjoyed the class, and it is not too difficult if you are willing to do the problem sets and homework.

The tests are pretty hard, but if you study you'll be fine. It can be difficult to pay attention, because Fulgham is a boring lecturer and doesn't care if you use your laptop. He usually has his back to the class and lectures directly off his slides. On the bright side, he posts all his slides, as well as old tests and quizzes in Collab, and he's very good at grading tests and quizzes quickly.

Professor Fulgham knew what he was teaching and was able to answer all the questions well. He is pretty quirky and makes weird but fitting analogies. Overall, he is fair, likable, and open to suggestions. A good teacher.

Fulgham is a great guy. Go to his office hours and he'll help you out with everything you need. TAs in the class are pretty worthless, but still go to their office hours to work with your peers on the homework sets.

Fulgham is very boring. He is not very enthusiastic in class and his work is near impossible. Avoid this course with this professor if possible. Be Warned!!!

Fulgham is a good guy, but very boring. He is very monotone, but he does try a joke every now and then. They are pretty terrible though. Anyway, the class is very hard and requires a lot of your attention. BUT!!! If you got to his office hours with real questions and show that you are making an honest attempt he will help you in any way he can. He is not a bad guy, just a boring teacher in a hard class.

I absolutely hate the fact that Fulgham uses powerpoint for his lectures. It's hard to follow and take notes but at least he'll put the post-lecture notes up on Collab eventually. On some occasions, he'll write on the board and it makes a huge difference in his teaching style. He's a good teacher but his class can be boring and the grading on tests/quizzes a little harsh. He also has a weird sense of humor, which verge on the slightly creppy side sometimes. A final, 3 tests, a couple quizzes, and Webwork (which I advise working on with others because there are so many steps that it's usually silly mistakes). Tests are fair. The class is not really curved, but that is the case for most of the other diff eq sections.

Easy class. The name sounds tough, but the class isn't. Just do the homework and you'll be fine.

Really enjoyed the class. Do your homework and go to office hours (both the professor and the TA were more than willing to help), and you'll do fine. People are making it seem harder than it is.
