Reviews of professor Benjamin Lantz

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Ben is low key a horrible TA. Seems ok to start but i have never seen more unorganized notes. Exams were nothing like any of the work we had done or maybe 10-20% was relatable. gives out weekly worksheets that he grades like he wants you to fail. Also your grade is basically three exams.

The course material is difficult and you should expect to have a decent amount of work to do homework and study for tests. Ben covered the material really well in his lectures and taught in a way that brought everything from the course together in a very understandable way.

Professor Lantz was great, the class is hard but he takes the time to make good lessons and is very accessible. Only critique is that he often makes assessments very tough but then curves them, which is fine grade-wise but is a very stressful process. If you want to get an A you definitely can with the right work.

He gave 3-4 Wileyplus assignments, 3-4 regular assignments, and 1-2 summative assignments a week. 3 tests for the semester that were 3 hours long and very hard. One meeting a week online. Online videos, about 40 minutes of video per section. He gave 1-2 paragraphs of comments, even on 10/10's. My hardest class freshman year, wouldn't recommend.

Ben gives great lectures, but also gives a LOT of homework for practice. He really expects you to be doing some of it every day. It's too much for one night. Midway through the semester, coronavirus happened and we switched to online. It definitely wasn't the same and many of our grades suffered for it. Also, technical glitches in the lectures.

Hard class, online learning and we meant once a week. He gives a LOT of homework, but it honestly helped me because I have to be pushed to do the extra work to understand the topics more.

Lantz is the best professor you can take for Calc 1 and 2. My friends who took the class with another professor would use my notes to study. There is a lot of material to cover in this course, so there is a lot of homework but it helps prepare you for exams, just stay on top of it. He will respond to emails quickly and just knows how to teach.

Give's a bunch of work and he grades every assignment like his life depends on it. Don't take this class unless you wanna frustrated with the crazy amount of work you have to do. This guy literally takes points off of worksheet assignments for not "naming" them correctly when you submit them.

Ben is a good professor but there is lots of homework. Webwork is the worst math program in the world and most of the material on the website is not on the tests. Sometimes he can be mean when you don't understand something.
