Reviews of professor Julian Rosen

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Julian Rosen is a smart person but a subpar professor. He knows how to do math, not how to teach it. His lectures take a lot of adjusting to, he speaks very quickly, jumps back and forth from topic to topic with little introduction to the topics. His tests are very different compared to in-class examples. Test questions are worded confusingly.

Dr. Rosen definitely takes ADJUSTING. His lectures are very fast-paced but if you attend them regularly (unlike me) you can adjust quickly. Admittedly Dr. Rosen can be confusing at times but using the online textbook is super helpful as well as youtube lol. Dr. Rosen is VERY CARING AND UNDERSTANDING. Don't freak out from bad ratings.

Best word to describe this guy is awkward. Not helpful at all during office hours because he has no sense of how to lead or carry on a conversation. Took him weeks to grade things. Retaking the class with Tyrone Crisp and went from an exam grade of 50 to an 87. DO NOT sign up for Rosen's calc class unless you already know how to do calculus.

Smart guy and definitely knows his stuff but terrible at communicating. Does not explain each topic very well. Just puts examples on the board, solves them, and expects you to know how to do the more complicated versions on the test.

Can't communicate how to actually understand the concepts he teaches. Knows his stuff, but doesn't know how to teach it. I'd give him the big thumbs down.

Excellent professor, always willing to give extra help and answer questions in class. 261 is difficult, but having prof. Rosen made it a bit more manageable. He definitely knows his stuff, and encourages questions in class, and he doesn't make you feel stupid, unlike other profs in this department.

I'm a senior and this is by far one of the worst classes I've ever taken. Dr Rosen is incapable of answering questions or communicating what he is trying to teach. I got almost no grades back the entire semester and the exams were extremely difficult based on what we learned in class. Do not take this class with Dr Rosen.

Not a good professor, doesnt highlight the topics being taught very clearly, just jumps into the processes. Hard to learn from and would definitely not recommend taking his class online. Homework methods could be improved as well.
