Reviews of professor Cory Colbert

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
My KING! He explains math so calmly and elaborates on real-world applicability. If he says "you may work in groups and use the chalkboard to solve a problem"...DO. IT. He may give out extra credit on the exams for doing so. Tests are not easy but fair with no surprises. I took Calc2 in high school and still found this course challenging.

Colbert is a great professor who clearly knows his stuff. Sometimes he under-explains concepts that need more explanation, but his overall difficulty for Calc 1 is exactly what you would expect from the class.  A few tests throughout the semester and weekly homework sets that take 1-3 hours.

Prof Colbert is great. Although calc can be a confusing and challenging subject, especially at w&l where you really have to understand the math in order to do well, he is always happy to explain further in class and in office hours. Its a great mix of lecture and working in groups. Tough grader but if you follow the format he gives you you do well.

Professor Colbert is a nice person. However, I would strongly discourage you to take calc 2 as fdr if you're not a STEM major. I did not particularly enjoy the class but that was because I dislike math so that's on me to blame. 
He grades on hw, tests, and cohort. HW and cohorts are fairly easy, but tests are hard.

Tons of homework with little time for comprehension. Impossible true/false questions explained after test was taken, not before. No feedback on exams. No participation-based grading. No in-class review for tests. Frequent admissions of unpreparedness for class. On positive note, widely available for office hours and good person.

Moves through topics quickly and expects you to know previous info coming in. However, super good explainer and makes sure you know what's going to be tested.

Insanely smart, but sometimes that causes him to under-explain concepts/techniques or expect that we know certain things. Sometimes gave HW questions that were practically impossible and didn't relate to topics from class. However, his grading system is VERY generous despite the hard (but fair) tests. Helpful in OH/1:1 and an overall amazing guy.

Colbert is a good professor who knows his stuff. His exams are hard and can have some unexpected parts. Nonetheless one of the better professors in the math department. Recommend taking him atleast once.

Professor Colbert is the best professor that I have had so far at W&L. 
His one limitation is that he is so smart that he frequently under explains advanced topics.
On the first class, when our class started, he did not introduce himself, or go through the syllabus; instead got straight into new material.
Overall, I would definitely recommend him!
