Reviews of professor Philip Engel

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
If you've taken Calculus 1 before in high school or something, chances are you'll do fine, but if you are taking Calc 1 for the first time, you will most likely have to do a lot of out of class research/studying/tutoring to fully understand what he's trying to teach you during the lecture.

Phil is the best choice for calc 3. He is very passionate about teaching and conveys the information well. The content is manageable. The tests are fair and similar to problems from class. He gives lots of partial credit. Quiz over homework and homework due for completion every week. If you did well in Calc 1 and 2, you will have no problems here.

Engel is a good teacher. He can teach very complicated concepts in a very simple manner. The only problem with him is that he does not post lecture notes or any other form of notes on elc which can be bad if you can't make it to the class that day since the concepts are fairly difficult. HW can be tedious. Overall, his grading is very lenient.

Great choice for Calc III. Lectures are clear and easy to understand, so just go to class and do the homework and the content comes easy. I would definitely take him again for another math class.

He's amazing! Definitely a character, even for a math professor. But he's really great at it and all of his lectures are amusing. He gives as much credit as possible. Be sure to not skip and also do the homework problems.
