Reviews of professor Omer Mermelstein

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
A lot better than most of the reviews say, he was thorough in explaining the content, and following his example problems is a great way to learn. He clearly cared about the content, and explained the real world uses for the math you're learning better than any other professor I've had.

Professor Mermelstein gave very wishy-washy grading requirements. He didn't explain the curve until the last day. Sometimes there was a bit of a language barrier, and he was condescending at times. On exams, the questions were unnecessarily difficult, but the class was curved, so I guess we had that going for us,

I had Prof. Mermelstein for Math 234 and it was much better than the reviews on here say. His lectures were asynchronous (use 2x speed) and he seemed reasonable overall. There were weekly open note mini tests, so it's important that you have good notes. Online testing means small mistakes can tank your grade, even if your work is good.

Weekly tests weren't too bad content-wise, but they mattered a lot for grades. The lectures were easy to follow and understand, but could get dull at times. Prof Mermelstein was a great professor for me, and the language barriers mentioned by earlier reviews is non-existent (at least anymore).

Honestly enjoyed his online lectures. They were Asynchronous, but he made it seem just like any other normal math class. Very easy to learn the material. 10/10 recommend writing down any homework problems cause it should be very similar to what is on exams. Lot of work but worth it.

Actually, for A1 asynchronous sessions, Prof. Mermelstein is reasonably fine. His videos are short and sweet and the workload is pretty light. He allows students to use PHYSICAL NOTES during exams including the FINAL. Just take some notes and follow his directions, you will be fine!

A lot of reviews on here haven't been fair at all. If you don't go to lecture and don't read the textbook you probably won't do well. But if you listen to his lectures and take the initiative to learn a bit outside of class you will be fine. Also people complaining about the grading weren't listening because he made the curve pretty clear.

Omer wants you to succeed, however the pace is very fast and many concepts are brushed over. It feels like they give you the basic concept to practice and understand, but the tests always are much harder.

Took Math341 with Omer a year ago. Class was very hard particularly when you try to take too many notes. But remember not to take notes since all are in textbook. You will learn a lot and get inapiration in Mathematical thinking if you just listen. Omer is really patient if you ask questions . Grading is not too bad as your progress is considered.

He is awful... Does not explain any material. Yelled at kids in class for asking a question in class.
