Reviews of professor Ilya Gekhtman

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He enjoys using a blackboard but never tries to write properly. Every lecture is basically an eye test. Doesn't seem prepared for lectures at all, starts questioning his own logic halfway through the solution. Sometimes he doesn't seem to bother to go to lectures at all and he's always late. Gets weirdly defensive when students have questions.

Gave the most stupid questions ever. MAT136 content is not difficult at all but the wordy questions they gave were so ambiguous and made the course seem more like an English class than a math class. Just terrible. If you're good at math, take a harder math course. MAT136 is NOT MATH.

This should not be not a hard course, but they screw it up. He is kind of unorganized and always uses the last inch of the blackboard with a tiny font size. The first term test goes wrong so they curve up 20%, and the second goes wrong again (and 20% up again!) Do NOT take complex variable with him, or prepare to teach yourself.
