Reviews of professor Christopher Person-Rennell

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Nice guy but doesnt really know the material he is teaching. 3 test and a final. No in class test prep. Aleks homework due constantly and doesnt help learning. Weekly assignments are WAY too hard and have to write paragraphs explaining your math. Took this class in high school but this was way harder. Taught myself all of the material before tests.

talks way too much and ends up making the explanation way more confusing than necessary. His notes were consistently wrong, from incorrect answers to even solving for the wrong thing. His lectures are related to the exam content, but the actual homework had nothing to do with what he was talking about that day.

Chris is a decent person, but an awful professor. he does not seem to understand the material fully himself and rushes through his lectures. he is accessible outside class, the only way to pass is to use the think tank or attend his office hours, be ready to work.

Chris is a nice person, and he does care. However, this class has a ton of homework, both weekly, almost daily Aleks Assignments, and Written Homeworks (practically a math paper based off 4-5 words problems) due every week. The notes he provides are insufficient, and he does not teach you in a way that prepares you for homeworks. Frustrated.

I think he is a great professor. He actually cares about his students trying to learn everyone's name. Works hard to make his D2L site understandable for those who didn't attended class or are confused on the homework.

Took this as a seven-week four credit so by nature a lot of work. Super nice and cool guy the lectures are really helpful. Three quizzes (open note), three tests (EXACTLY like quizzes) all online, and an in-person final. His videos are super helpful and he is pretty quick to respond and it's actually helpful. The material is hard but good teacher

The class was asynchronous with the lectures being recorded D2L. The homework given had at least 2 attempts per questions, and the discussion portion of D2L was used to answer any questions that were unclear. He answers his emails quickly, and explains the questions visually and in words.

this professor was BY FAR the hardest I have had at my years at U of A. He explained the material so poorly it wasnt even worth going to class. ALEKS homework due E V E R Y night even though he insisted it would be 1-2 times a week. Written homework was IMPOSSIBLE without Chegg you'll get 30% on each homework. Also he gives little to no test prep.

He is a good professor, I really liked his lectures and he is caring toward his students as well. So far the best math professor from UofA who actually cares about the class and he is accessible always outside of class.
