Reviews of professor Joshua Hallam

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Josh really does know his stuff, but sometimes is too smart for the rest of us. He is knowledgeable and has funny jokes, but sometimes his lectures can be a bit confusing because he is relying on "prior knowledge" that we may not all have. Nonetheless, he is willing to stop whenever he needs to in a lecture to answer any and all questions.

all around great professor and person. Caring, funny, and has very clear expectations. Take him if you get the chance

Great but tough Professor. His lectures were very important to understand topics, but attendance was not mandatory. 2 weekly assignments that were quite tough. 2 midterms and 1 final. Tests were hard. Reviews made studying a bit easier. But tough grader and lots of conceptual questions.

Teaches a very theoretical/pure mathy approach to linear algebra. No applications at all, solid amount of proofs and abstract math. Lecture notes are helpful and good to review. Homework is graded fairly but can seem a bit harsh at times. Run your ideas on the homework by him first for better results.

Lots of hw, but honestly, it helps you do well on the 2 midterms and 1 final you have. Prof Hallam is an awesome person and his love and passion for math is obvious when he teaches

MATH 248 with Dr. Hallam was really fun. There are 3 exams, one paper about robotics and 2 quizzes. There is a HW due at the end of each week. The professor is very good at being accessible outside of the classroom. The lectures are very funny and engaging. Take him!

Prof Hallam clearly is very passionate about math and this shows up in the lectures. If you do the review and go to office hours you will do great on the exams. Nice guy too.
