Reviews of professor william gillam

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Great professor. You must have taken Calc in high school if you want to enjoy this class; take Fox otherwise. He knows a lot, and he truly cares about his students passing the course. Grind the exercises at the end of the chapter. Sit in the front during his lectures. I strongly advise asking questions at his office. FAT CURVES

Professor Gillam was a very caring professor despite teaching an extremely challenging course. He would curve the tests immensely and if you showed you cared about his course he would make sure to spend time with you to make sure you understood and succeeded in this course.

Was shocked by his demeanor after reading the good reviews on RMP. He despises when people asks questions and assumes everyone is inferior to him in terms of math skills. Do not get me wrong though, I feel like I learned a lot in his class and I am confident about Calc now, it's just that I really did not like his personality. Go to office hours!

He is a good professor if you are in a math-related major. He says everything as clear and concise as possible. Not bad at all just be sure to study and pay attention and you will be fine.

I was never a math student which meant I had to put a lot of time and effort in this class. Even so, this was still the most difficult class Ive taken so far and its mostly due to difficult exams and confusing lectures. Requires a lot of studying outside of class. I put in many many hours and still couldnt get in the B range for exam grades.

I don't know why so many guys hate him. Tests are really not easy, but what did you want from Calculus? But in the lessons and in the mathlab, we solve problems that are much more complex than what we get on the exam. Usually, the same problem is given as in the reviews, just with different numbers if you. Easy A+.

Use the book and make at least 20 problems from each section, and you will succeed! He curves everything. You don't have to make everything perfect, just try to make your best in every midterm. He is very fair, kind, excellent and very handsome professor!!
