Reviews of professor Mario Micheli

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Micheli is the BEST; LADE with him is TOUGH, but he will give enough resources and office hours to help you as much as possible. He is very organized and genuinely cares about students' success. One-on-one, he's an awesome person. His class even left me considering a minor in AMS!!! Note: LADE problem sets take a LOT of time!

Great lecturer and very nice. His lecturers are very well organized and he goes at a good pace. He is very clear about what material is going to be tested, and tests are pretty straightforward. There is graded homework every week, but it isn't too much at all.

Nice mix of sample problems and theorems during lecture. The homework is harder than the tests (which I personally prefer) and all the problems on the homework are graded.

Super nice guy, lectures were super helpful (notes are posted online but not super timely so would not suggest skipping lecture) and we worked through the homework together during office hours. The only class at Hopkins where I think the effort you put in actually gets you the grade you deserve.

Professor Micheli is an amazing educator and person. He loves his subject -- his passion is evident in lectures and office hours. He truly understands college students, and is very open to meeting and discussing strategies to improve. For his first time teaching the class online, it went quite smoothly!

His lectures are amazing because you can tell he is passionate about what he is teaching and ensures that everyone understands the content. However, the tests were pretty stressful, my Garmin watch would not shut up during them telling me to calm down. They are very time-restricted but overall not the worst.

Dr Micheli creates medium difficulty tests which are comparable to the assigned homework, but makes the length of the test so long you will be lucky if you finish half of it during the allotted time. The exam averages are always in the 50s and 60s. I don't believe it's a test of how well you know the material rather than how fast you can scribble.

This was the first math class I've taken where I could understand content just from Micheli's lectures. His lectures are interesting, and he cracks a lot of jokes to keep students entertained. He genuinely wants us all to succeed that is very evident.

He's a great professor, lectures are engaging and he's really funny. Make sure you don't have a class immediately after: he likes to go over time. Definitely a top AMS professor, take him if you can.
