Reviews of professor Martin Golubitsky

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He's one of the smartest people I've ever met. Lectures usually didn't make sense & were very confusing because he had a hard time breaking it down to us, but after finishing up a chapter he usually did a good job summing it all up into useable information. His exams are surprisingly easy and as long as you know what you're doing it's a good choice

Am fortunated to have prof Marty, and even be able to work with him. He is a wise and welcomed person. However, this course requires us to work more outside classroom.

This course really required me to self-study a LOT, because the lectures are generally hard to follow. However, professor Golubitsky allowed us to use his online textbook for free, which was very helpful for me to understand the concepts. There were weekly homeworks, which can be challenging. The exams were not very hard, to be honest.

Professor Golubitsky looks like an extremely knowledgeable person, but his lecture is very theoretical. He hardly ever give examples or do problems like other math teachers does, which I personally find really annoying. He is also not very good at clarifying concepts clearly. So I need to self-study the text book for the most part of the semester.

I cannot put into words how truly terrible this mans class is. His handwriting is chicken scratch (at best) and if you want to learn from the textbook because you hate his teaching style, GOOD LUCK because he wrote it. To give you perspective, I have never received anything lower than a B at OSU.
