Reviews of professor Dylan Attwell-Duval

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Not good at explaining the things to students even though they can't spreak english very well

He only explains things once and doesn't offer constructive feedback. He says come to office hours for additional help, but when you ask him to re-explain something he just tells you to keep practicing. The material isn't that difficult, the exams are just very hard. I would recommend taking this course online or elsewhere.

Ive never wanted to cry more. He laughs at you when you ask a question and I still cant tell if its a socially awkward laugh or not. If you ask for help he doesnt understand how to explain it to you. Ive heard one of his responses be  you just do the math. Please avoid him if you can and save yourself.

If attend the lectures almost every day and legitimately try to do the homework, you will find the class decently easy if you put the work in. He has times in class where he stops the lecture puts up problems on the board, and goes around with the LA's helping people who have questions. Exams are straightforward to study for.

Decent teacher went over the material a bit fast but if you go to class and pay attention and practice problems outside of class you will be fine on the midterms and final.

The main way to be successful in this class is to do as many practice problems as possible. Go to an LA session every week and it will help you so much. Dr. Duval is always happy to help in office hours too.

Dr. Duval gives students every chance to succeed. Many people complained that he expects you to know material before class, but what he actually expects is that you do the corresponding hw assignment before specific lectures so that you know whats going on. The hw is not unreasonable because you get it a week before its due, just dont put it off.

A lot of work but that's what expected. Make sure if you are struggling with quizzes to go to LA sessions to get the lowest ones dropped. Not the best at explaining things(especially the harder concepts). If you took calc before its definitely not too hard to get an A- or B+

I'm taking calc 140 and haven't taken calc before. He always says "I'm sure most of you have taken calc before" which is obnoxious. He doesn't give partial credit. Each week he gives about 6 online assignments and a worksheet. I honestly thought the midterm was easier than his quizzes. Get a tutor or go to school tutoring if you want to pass.

Duval is a genius, however he simply cannot teach. He failed to explain things to students that did not understand at what he was trying to show. Extremely harsh grader.
