Young and amazing professor! Awesome lecturer who gives great and clear examples to illustrate concepts. Exams are fair. Homework amount is fair. Strongly recommend to take his course.

Very enthusiastic and applied lecturer. Clarifies questions, gives intuition, lets students figure things out. Homework sometimes felt disconnected from lecture topics. Very encouraging for those new to math, I personally didn't like the style as STEM major.

I would definitely recommend Tom for Calculus. Very interesting and nice professor, and I enjoyed the class a lot. Homeworks were difficult at times but it was sure worth it. Overall, I loved the passion he taught this class with!

I feel bad saying this because he's very nice, but he's just awful for STAT011. He tends to start explaining really difficult concepts that aren't on our exams to us before he explains the basics of how to do a problem. Just generally is terrible at explaining anything. And yes, very disorganized, doesn't answer emails, incredibly slow grader.

When I think of Math, I think it's interesting, intuitive, and meaningful. Both the courses I had with Crawford, however, lacked those traits. I was never certain if I was doing well in the class since the prof never graded ANYTHING on time. The prof is nice, but they are terrible at explaining. You will be visiting YouTube University freq.

Most disorganized professor I have ever had: forgot to assign us a project, doesn't respond to emails unless it is the eve of an exam, gives the review problems a class before the exam, and inefficient during OH. People sit on the ground during OH bc there are so many people. I have walked away from OH bc there was literally no room to listen/stand

Great at explaining concepts! Uses a lot of in class group work.

Crawford is great.  He makes math make so much more sense, I feel like I actually understand what is going on.

Great lecturer, lots of homework but doing the problems is probably the best way to learn the material imo
