Mathematics

Professor Camrud is the goat. His class is very manageable if you keep up with the lecture videos and engage with your group mates in class. This class could totally be done self-paced and completely virtual, much like other math classes, but what makes it different is Professor Camrud's passion for teaching. He is always enthusiastic and quick to answer any questions you may have. He is supportive and looking out for his students, and is truly fun. For this class, you essentially have one open note quiz a week that in total, all the quizzes count to about 75% or 85% of your final grade in the course. Hence, it is pretty easy to get a high grade, especially since you can retake any of the quizzes to replace your grade as the final for the course. I love the way the class is structured.

First of all, Bill Peterson is great. He's just such a funny man with such an enthusiasm for math. I do enjoy every time I speak to him. As for the class itself, it is not as bad as everyone makes it out to be, but it certainly is not an easy class. There is homework due before every class, and the material covered is often not something that you can just speed through. If you do just sit down and read the assigned chapters, though, as you will be told to do at the beginning of the semester, the class is generally fine. Anything you don't understand past that, you can just go ask him about and he will be happy to help you. He is, in my experience, rather receptive to meeting outside of his office hours (which didn't work for me). The exams do push you on what you know, but if you do truly know it, you will mostly be fine. Altogether, it is 100% a class I would recommend taking with Bill Peterson.

You could immediately tell that Prof. Camrud is very passionate about the field of mathematics and truly cares whether his students understand the course material. I like his method of utilizing group work to make some of the material easier to understand by asking peers in your group. Overall, Prof. Camrud was a solid teacher.
