Reviews of professor Micah McCurdy

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. McCurdy made differential equations appealing to a mathematics major who was initially very cynical about its aesthetic. He was full of anecdotes about the history of math. The tests were quite easy and in some cases easier than they really should have been (considering the material we covered).

Got an A+ on midterm and failed the final. doesn't give practice questions. The final had many difficult questions, none of which were covered in the lab or in class. Don't take a course with him if you need to maintain a high GPA.

Micah is a good lecturer, I enjoyed his tangents on linguistics. In my opinion two hour long quizzes a week, after 3 hour lectures was just too much. Being expected to derive proofs in a timed quiz is unfair. Would be better for learning if we could do the proofs at home where we have time to think. Recitation questions didn't match class content.
