Reviews of professor Michael Overton

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Numerical methods class aimed mainly for PhD and some advanced masters students. He is awful at teaching. Lectures are extremely boring. Many students fall asleep in his class. He always make basic math mistakes. Reading textbooks is more enjoyable than his classes. Not a nice person either. His office hours are not helpful at all. Not friendly.

His classes are hard! But the Prof's a nice guy, he tries to help you if you ask for it.

The lectures are not always clear, but Prof. Overton has always been patient, straightforward and responsive in and outside of lectures.  The textbook he recommended complements the lecture very well. The assignments are not easy but they are not excessive either. I learned a lot about Matlab, floating points and numerical linear algebra.

Very organized and works hard to make homeworks involved and interesting.
