Reviews of professor Tyler Bongers

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
calc 3 has become much harder at Wash U especially the exams - if you have the choice to take calc 2 instead, do so; bongers is sweet but goes too fast, exams are hard, sub section is a joke; if you take this course, watch professor leonard videos and don't go to class.

Bongers gives really long homework assignments. His lectures are fine. His office hours are ok, depends on the day. Some days he will help; other days he wants you to figure it out yourself. Take home exams are very difficult. Expect to spend a lot of time on his class.

Just whatever you do dont take a class that he teaches. He doesnt respect that students are not as knowledgeable as him and doesnt know how to explain concepts in a way that doesnt go right over students heads. Office hours are not that useful, spent about 20 hours per week on HOMEWORK. Dont do it to yourself.

Maybe one of the worst professors Ive had. The longest, most difficult and ridiculous homework assignments assigned weekly, a terrible textbook with typos, a brutal grader, and an overall confusing instructor. Always made concepts seem more confusing than they were, and hes not understand of student needs. Would not recommend personally.

Hands down the best math professor I've had! His lectures are very concise, clear, and informative, combining helpful dosages of big-picture explanations and specific examples. Add on his light humor, genuine care for students, and accessibility outside of class, and he's the perfect math teacher. Kinda wish I could take more math classes now...

Not a good professor. Didn't even give a drop for discussion section.

Great instructor who really knows his stuff and is able to effectively convey and teach mathematics. He really took student feedback into consideration, to the point where we were able to choose the specific topics he would cover during review sessions before exams. I recommend taking a class with him.

Decent professor. A little awkward at times but is clearly knowledgable about the topic and does a decent job explaining considering how complex some of the topics were. He is patient with students and tests are not easy but still fair.

Bongers was a fantastic professor and easily the best math professor I have had at WashU. He is great for people who actually want to understand math at a conceptual level in addition to learning computations. His class was difficult but if you went to class (his lectures are really helpful and well explained) and pay attention, you can do well.
