Reviews of professor Sam Bloom

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
If you did not take calc in high school this class will be very confusing . I ended up having to learn most of the material on my own . The tests are graded with a lot of partial credit so I ended up getting a pretty good grade in the class but it was not easy .

Lectures are important to at least know things but they're poor. Basically reads off book, shows concept and example, and quickly moves on. The tests he gives are completely different from ones I was given to practice to. Probably would have had a better grade with different professor but class is overall hard if you never took Calc before like me

Surprised at the low ratings. Sam is an excellent lecturer and is really kind and always willing to help. The class is kind of hard, given that there are four exams, weekly quizzes (lowest 2 dropped), and online homework. As long as you put in the work, you'll be totally fine.

I took calc in high school and the content that was taught in this class was way harder and more complicated than it had to be. He made simple concepts harder than they should've been and would rarely help students, and if he did he only made them more confused. The tests are also insanely difficult. If you take this class w/ him, teach yourself.
