Reviews of professor Ruy Exel

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Alright he's not a great teacher but he's a great guy, which makes it hard to give him such a low rating. I haven't gotten anything below an A yet in college, but in this class I will probably end up with a B. I felt like no matter how much I prepared there were always questions on the midterms that messed me up. Really frustrating class.

Impossible. Homework wasn't too bad, lectures were kind of complicated, but the tests were literally undoable. He would give us practice midterms from the other linear sections to study from, and then his tests would not include ANY of the questions from the practice ones. Just a bunch of difficult abstract definition stuff. Do not take with him.

Great guy, not a great professor. Managed to get an A somehow. The class wasn't a lot of work but it was difficult to get the grade I wanted, that's why I rated difficulty as a 5.

His tests are absolutely impossible. The exams are worth about 80 percent of your grade in the class, and this in combination with the tests being difficult made the class extremely stressful and tough. There are no curves in the course. Overall, terrible instruction in an already difficult course make the class impossible.

Midterm exams were impossible. He expected us to know extremely abstract concepts as well as definitions that were not easily understood from his lecturing. If you want an A, it would be very difficult to get in his class. Hopefully he fixes his exam-writing for the future.

This boy Ruy is the hardest professor I have ever had. The material isn't particularly hard, and I got an A in honors Calc 3 the semester before I took this class. I am currently sitting at a C- because he has not been preparing us well for his exams at all. The second midterm went kind of well (avg. 76%) but the second didn't (avg 59%) STAY AWAY.
