Reviews of professor Charles Von Tagen

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Didn't grade most of the work in this class until the end of the semester, and was very focused on group work that could heavily affect grade. Gives out a lot of written work that he doesn't give the answers to, and sends students to in class break-out rooms instead of lecturing. He expects students to come to class knowing what to do beforehand.

Professor Von Tagen is a great professor. His teaching style doesn't fit my learning style which is why I wouldn't take him again. Although I didn't get a good grade in his class, he showed me that he actually does care about the students. He said it himself, he just wants to teach students about calculus. As long as you seek help, he will give it.

If you are transferring to a four year school Charles gets you well prepared for the same level of rigor to expect at a harder university. His Diff Eq and LA course are phenomenal and all of his materials are created by him. I still use my binder from his class as a resource. I took Calc 3 and his Diff Eq/ LA classes and thought they were solid.

I learned more in this course than any other math course that I have ever taken. Charles is an incredible teacher in all aspects and does everything he can to help every student learn and succeed. I would recommend him to anyone who likes or does not like math.

He doesn't have a lecture in class. We have a lot of homework in this class ( a lot). He is helpful, but he never answers one of my questions. He is good but not doing this in class. If you want to succeed in this class, you need to know the material or watch videos from the previous semesters ( waste of time).

Charles was one the of the best math professors I've had in a while. His approach to teaching Calculus is how I think every math class should be taught: by having the students actually do math and then providing feedback on their work. Charles genuinely cares for his student's success inside and outside the classroom.

I have failed Calculus 1 two separate times, and Charles Von Tagen is the only calculus professor who helped me understand the large concepts of calculus. He is willing to put in the extra effort to help students learn and always gives them the best possible chances of success.

Von Tagen was the best teacher I have ever had. He teaches mathematics the way it should be taught- by making you do it. His classes are very hands on as the entire time you work on what you learned the night before. He is very kind and funny. I wish I could have him for calculus 2.

Awesome Teacher. Grades what you should know and if you can apply it correctly, not necessarily getting the correct answers. Very helpful and wants you to understand as much as wanting you to get a good grade. Reviews are almost identical to tests with different numbers but same type of problems. Gives review keys and plenty of time to go over.
