Reviews of professor Zachary Straus

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He gives out so many handouts and expects you to do them by just reading what's on them. He explains it after the students supposedly "try" the problems and to me it should be the other way around. Teach first then give a handout. He doesn't really explain clearly on how to do problems either. Don't recommend.

I took math 40 with Professor Straus online and it was just a lot. How a lectures where helpful at times but the labs were pretty hard and sometimes wouldnt give you a lot of details. Labs would take me hours to do and then when it would finally be graded it would be a low score which was really frustrating. Homework wouldnt be helpful on tests.

Zach is the absolute man. His patience with students is impressive. He cares about making sure you learn the CONCEPT rather than equations. Attendance isn't mandatory after census. He gives notes in a "fill in the blank" packet. He makes it very straight forward and less complicated. I highly recommend taking his class.
