Reviews of professor Timothy Banham

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Tim is so sweet and kind. He clearly loves math and wants to share it with his students. He does helpful review days and is available after class and at office hours. Everything is lecture style on the board- so notes are easy to take and understand

Lectures were fast paced and covered lots of content. Homework included problems from class but also problems where the answer wasn't straight forward and you had to piece it together. Tim also gives great study guides prior to tests and won't test on content that isn't covered at some point. Gives plenty of practice. Office hours are very helpful.

His lectures are usually pretty well structured, which I always appreciate. However, when the exam material doesn't match the homework and the class average is 65%, that's a huge red flag. Something has to change.

He was always super clear when explaining the topics, and was more than willing to go over something you were confused about on the homework. He was willing to give you partial points on problems you missed on the midterm as long as you showed your work. All in All a fun teacher for a difficult topic

Tim is such a genuine professor with a passion for teaching. I struggle with math, but thoroughly enjoyed his class. He is personable and his office hours are very helpful if you can get to them. Participate with the practice quizzes he provides- they actually help!

Tim was super nice and I felt a very informative teacher. Definitely don't slack off and cut class as at least 125 was a hard class although attendance wasn't required. That said if you go to class and do the homework(not overwhelming in volume) you should do quite well.

If you are slow to "get" math, DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS! I'd get left behind within the first five minutes of class and wrote down my notes so frantically they were often incomprehensible. He doesn't give enough time to try the concepts in class, and the tutoring center often doesn't have anyone who knows how to help. He was as helpful as he could be.

I like Tim as a person, but he is an incredibly tough grader. There is no leniency with simple mistakes. Not a lot of partial credit. He doesn't answer homework questions and homework is all online. You only get credit on homework for the right answer, it is not uncommon to spend hours on homework and still have no credit.
