Reviews of professor Vitaly Katsnelson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Prof. Katsnelson is a great professor. He made calculus feel very easy, he does reviews before exams. Occasionally jokes that makes the class giggle. When students have questions, he slowly explains the concepts, which is great especially for first timers. He drops your lowest 4HW + 2Quizzes. One of the best professors I had so far as a freshman.

Prof. Katsnelson is really nice and explains concepts really simply. He drops your lowest two quizzes and two homeworks. If you are good at math, you will likely have a good time in this course. If not, this might be a hard course. Overall, good prof, albeit a tough grader. Does not curve at end of semester.

He's not the best Calculus professor, although I'm not sure how he is in Linear Algebra. He posts a weekly homework which is a lot to do due the next week and the material he does in class is simple but the homework is difficult and the exams even more. If you're good in Calculus, take him but if not, take a different professor. He is nice though.

Enjoyed how he broke down problems in a step by step manner for us, as well as his clear and slow speaking. He was always patient with our questions and tried to explain things in a way we could understand.

Very theoretical and MATLAB heavy. Definitely recommend a strong foundation in Linear Algebra before taking course. Frequently skips steps as well. Be sure to understand the homework & practice exams.

The best imo, he explains everything very clearly. I mean everything, even topics from Calc 1 for those who may have forgot. Holds office hours and will be there as long as you communicate and will not belittle you for forgetting a concept. Will literally bend over backwards for you. Follow this guy
