Reviews of professor Samuel Jeralds

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Sam is not a good T.A. He is not helpful when asked a question and loves to say, "That was covered in the previous course so I will not go over that." He comes off as lazy and does not give very good instruction. His feedback on tests is bare-bone and serves as no help in figuring out the correct answer.

Sam is a funny lad and a solid choice for Diff. Eq. He doesn't overassign hw, and his lectures are clear and intuitive. For any of you taking it with him, I will warn you- first two tests are an absolute joke, and the third one is very tough so prepare for that. But would certainly recommend him in the end. One of the better math teachers I've had.

Tough grader, but explaining concepts super clearly & excellent class notes. I missed some of the morning classes but still managed to follow the contents after reading notes. Tests are 80% based on class materials, if you listen to the class carefully it should be easy.

A really solid choice for diff eq. Pay attention in class and do the homeworks on time and it shouldn't be too hard to stay on track. Really fair grader and is generous with partial credit.

Sam is a solid choice. He has a great understanding of diff eq and gives detailed lectures. Lectures can be long & conceptual & not many in class examples but lots of good practice on WS. Tests were meant to be a challenge (conceptual at times or analysis) but he will curve if needed. Diff Eq is a hard class but Sam is very nice and knowledgable.

Super strict grader who doesn't give out partial credit. Don't take a class from him unless absolutely necessary. The class average for the first midterm was a 70.5 and then he sent out an email saying that he was happy with the average score.

He's a pretty solid lecturer, I will say each test had one problem on it that was significantly harder than anything else which makes the overall class a struggle because tests (plus final) make up 86% of your grade. I wouldn't recommend him as a top choice, but if you come to class and take good notes you'll get by just fine.
