Bennet is awesome! He's incredibly clear when explaining concepts. He is very easygoing and will adjust class to make sure everybody understands what's happening. His grading is extremely fair and he aims to give as much partial credit as possible. He makes math interesting and he is in general a really cool dude.

Guy doesn't know how to teach a college class. Left for weeks at a time without any explanation leaving us to the graces of the other math teachers.

Bennet is by far the best math instructor I have had at UW. He is very good at explaining new concepts in terms of things already learned. Bennet is laid back, funny, and a great lecturer. It is unfortunate that the math department requires a median grade of 3.0 as it punishes students who have great instructors.

Goeckner is awesome. Very good at teaching -- he's super engaging and makes math very approachable. I hadn't taken a pure math class in a long while, but he really cares about foundational knowledge so it was easy to get back up to speed. I really feel like I understand everything he taught.

Definitely take linear optimization with Bennet! His lecture style is amazing and he really cares whether students learn. One quiz and one homework per week (seem a lot for a 3-credit class but trust me the quiz helps a lot in understanding the material).

The best! We love Bennet! A legend! A gem! The hero we needed! 15/10 would take again. :)

He's probably one of the best teachers I've had in a really long time. He's an amazing teacher and really does his job well explaining topics. As long as you pay attention it's a pretty easy class (because he does a good job of teaching) and you should do well. Quizzes and tests aren't that bad either.

Dr. Goeckner cared deeply about learning. Despite having a busy schedule, he made a conceded effort to be accessible outside of class. When I came to him with questions on the homework and tests, he'd walk me through the processes needed to figure out answers on my own, instead of just giving me answers. This world needs more professors like him.

He is a gem but he ain't teaching no more at UW
