Reviews of professor Andrew Torok

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I learned almost nothing in his class. I learned more from youtube and various online sites. His handwriting is difficult to read, he doesn't explain things well, and the book was only somewhat helpful once I got a grip on what was going on after the second midterm. Homeboy also lectures right after finishing the exam!!! Pop quizzes as well.

He knows what he's teaching and he enjoys teaching it. He is a bit quiet and goes very fast, but you can tell he's really enjoying it as he does it. Attend his classes, ask him questions, do the practice problems. It's a lot of work, and he doesn't slow down even around exams, but he gives you lots of opportunities for practice.

I took this course during the summer session alongside two other courses and it was quite difficult to manage. Regardless, this course emphasized computations, especially on quizzes, but lectures were a mix of both theory and computations. If you put in time to study, there is nothing to worry about. He is a professor that cares.

Textbook Homework due every other week (Monday morning). Tests are challenging so make sure to study since they are most of your grade. Responds quickly via email and provides feedback on HW and tests. Hosts office hour once a week to get live feedback, and posts video notes every week.

Ok teacher. He has an accent,sometimes hard to understand. The class itself is rather easy. The lectures are fine,but when he gives example problems, the answer to the problems are not clear. Doing the assigned weekly homework are the best way to learn. Try not to miss class since uploaded notes are not very clear.

Professor Torok is a nice person, but he doesn't explain the class very well. So, I pretty much skipped class and taught myself linear algebra. His tests are difficult and he is a tough grader.

Not a solid choice at all. Torok rushed the sections without providing examples and his voice and handwriting hard to understand. You would honestly be better off learning from the book. I would not recommend him at all

The class was an utter joke. He is difficult to understand, but many professors are, the difference being THEY RECOGNIZE THIS AND TEACH SLOWLY! He made mistakes left and right. I would have just learned from the textbook, but he said if you were near failing, it would have an effect on it which was a complete lie. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!

Review was just more problems from textbook and pop quizzes back to back.

Can be hard to understand his speaking and writing but was very caring and interested in students learning the material. After a little bit you can get used to it. He never counted attendance but I found lecture pretty helpful and didn't have to do much if any self-teaching and would recommend going.
