Reviews of professor Edmund Karasiewicz

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
People say he doesn't explain things well, but he asks every couple sentences in his explanations if people have any questions before we move on. Everyone failed our midterm, so he gave us another one and let us turn in solutions to the first one. Cares a lot about students in his class and will help you so much in office hours. Actually Study.

Linear algebra was fine, Ed literally read from the book so lectures were pretty useless. Utilize office hours, because he's actually not that bad of a teacher and explained a lot of the concepts really well in office hours. Final was an oof, midterm was ez pz. Overall not the best, but certainly not the worst.

He relies on the textbook too heavily and the textbook was terrible. He seems like a good professor, but he needs to find a better textbook to base homework assignments and tests off of.

This man doesn't know how to give an exam and he doesn't care. The exams had averages ranging from about 20%-40% and he blamed us for not knowing the material when he says "you won't have seen any of the material on the exam so you'll have to be clever". He gave six long problems for a one hour exam, and we'd never seen anything like them.

Took Linear Algebra with him. Hard at explaining concepts but they're difficult anyway. Midterm was cakewalk but his final was the hardest test I've ever taken in my life. Had an A in the class and walked away with a C. I've heard he's good in his main subject (Number Theory) so I'm going to take that with him and update this review after.

The book has really difficult to understand explanations, and Eds explanations are also pretty bad, and he just regurgitates the book in his lectures. The final was so hard, I studied for at least 25+ hours and ended up with like a 40% that was curved to a C. Do not recommend
