Reviews of professor David Erwin

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Took MTH192 Winter 2022. Very much a self-taught class! Never listened to professor zooms/given lecture vids. I went onto YouTube & searched the section. The textbook & hw platform are very common & help vids online. He answers specific Q's well. Label your notes & hw b/c tests repeats hw Q's. Use CalcChat & CalcView from text! Unproctored tests.

Super nice guy and very willing to work with students who are struggling. He talks fast and in circles and constantly makes remarks about how "this should be review for you." I do not recommend taking his class over Zoom unless you are familiar with the material. He never bothered to learn how Zoom works. Many technical issues on his end.

Very poorly executed class! Not up to par with other WCC offerings- No decent supporting videos, lecture notes were hand-written and practically illegible, the emphasis was on rote learning and formulae and he rushed everything preventing deeper conversations or understandings. If you can avoid this guy, I would! Simply terrible...

He's a really good guy, however, maybe my type of learning is different but I skipped lectures because I would be so overwhelmed because the pace was fast, and had my dad tutor me or used my textbook and Khan academy. If you are a quick learner take him, he's funny as well. He gives the usual amount of hw, few quizzes too its good,just not for me.

He only writes out the problems and solves them. He really wasn't the best at teaching. I really wouldn't recommend him as a teacher unless you understand the material already.

Spends most of the time solving problems on the board but instructions are unclear and he frequently messes up on his problems but "has no idea where he went wrong". He teaches a unclear lecture in 15 minutes and never goes as in depth as our homework. For a 2 1/2 hour class it was such a waste of time to be there and I was better off self taught.

Makes calc 3 fun, quizzes and tests are almost directly from homework. Very down to earth and nice, answers questions, gives extra time on homework if needed. Gives you several days to take quizzes & gave me a 1 day extension when I wasn't able to do it & super understanding. Literally such a sweet guy 11/10.

Pay attention, take notes, and engage in class. Professor Erwin is a caring person, and if you show him you care about the class, you'll do fine. He cares a lot about whether you know core concepts, vs knowing how to achieve an answer.
