Reviews of professor John Zylstra

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Zylstra was a nice guy, but he spent too much time talking about theory. Application of theorems seemed to be more of an after thought, and was usually just a quick once-over. Exams were usually the vague questions from the book, but he did let you choose 5 of 13 to do. Best part of his teaching was that he was actually interested in the subject.

Definitely one of the hardest classes I've taken, but I'd say worthwhile. Quizzes and exams make up most of your grade, but quizzes aren't too bad. Exams were a range of very difficult to only slightly hard, but if you do lots of practice you don't need to be worried. He's very accessible for office hours and posts practice problems for quizzes
