Reviews of professor Jean-Michel Maldague

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Took math 7 with him over winter, it was intense but the course is definitely passable because he curves exams generously and prepares you for the overall structure with 2 practice tests similar to the actual exam.

I don't know how his inclass lectures are, but he is not ready for online lectures. He is reading out his written notes on Zoom. His notes are basically chapters outlines from the textbook, I find them not helpful to his canvas quizzes. These quizzes can only be answered when you understand the concepts, and his lectures not helping me with that.

nice guy, ok class, but like somebody else said hes allergic to grading!! you will have no idea what your grade will be b/c he doesnt grade throughout the class. He also assigns too many hw problems. Im taking another point off because he still hasnt graded anything and its been weeks and weeks since he last graded something, class is over now

Professor Maldague is a lovely, caring and full-patience professor.
During the winter course, he was sick, but he insisted on having a lecture every morning.
He was concerned about students' questions a lot and tried his best to help.
Don't miss the chance to take his course that helps you achieve success.
I am at UC Berkeley, Applied Math.
