Reviews of professor Alexander Stas

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Really great notes, fair grading, gives 3 exams + final (based on past department finals found on CCNY math department website)always answer your questions during class, gives a lot of homework for practice. Available for office hours. Great professor (basically out in the work and you will pass)

I have taken Prof AJ twice now, and his teaching method is exactly the same. He is very in-depth when it comes to lectures, giving lots of examples. He stops to see if any students have questions all the time. He is willing to help all the time. He doesn't check hw but make sure you're doing them for practice. Gives review sheets for every exam

AJ is a good professor. Reason: - Helpful review sessions before his exams and finals - Slows down lectures if you are confused - Gives a lot of examples

Horrible professor, while he is a nice guy he cannot teach. Was completely and utterly confused and dreaded going to his class. His method of teaching is very textbook which does not help simplify things at all. Wanted to withdrawal but missed deadline.

One of the best in CCNY, with very engaging lectures. Review days are the best. AJ wants best for the students. Funny too.

Stas is a good guy and fair professor. That being said, Calc II is not an easy course. Do ALL the homework. If you're still not comfortable with the section do it again. He makes himself available after class and during office hrs which is a big plus. Show up to class, put in sufficient effort, don't fall behind on HW and you will pass.
