Reviews of professor Thibaut Castan

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I took this class and the exams did not reflect what we learned in class to a large extent. Furthermore, we were never told when quizzes were, and oftentimes they were on material WE LEARNED 15 MINUTES BEFORE!! Stay away.

Do not take this class. Thibaut uses really easy examples in class and spends 50% of the time writing what hes saying verbally on the board rather than teaching. Even though easy examples are used the exams are really difficult and not reflective of what he taught. Take Sams class, save yourself

Castan........ ok. So this class math120 is a general calc 1 course and I took it to get my credit for which I need for my major. Wish I had another professor because all of my friends with other professors had practice exams that were somewhat close to what the exam would look like. Not in this class, The exams were about 1000x harder than assumed

Impossible to understand. Whole class had to redo a section in a midterm because he translated wrongly from french to english. Definitely stay away from this prof

He has an accent and his English isn't great, but he is knowledgeable once you get past that. He isn't very helpful when asking questions. It isn't a very tough curriculum for a 200 level math class, but exams count for 75% of your final grade so you really have to study for his exams, especially the final (30% of your final grade).

AWFUL. NEVER TAKE HIS CLASS EVER. Worst professor at the University of Maryland. Doesn't teach well, hard to understand, and quizzes us on things we do not know. TAs don't even know when our exams are. AWFUL. Everybody is failing meanwhile other MATH120 classes are so much easier. He is so rude too.
