Reviews of professor David Simmons

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Sometimes he goes a little fast or skips around a little but overall his lectures were pretty helpful and he's a nice person. His note sheets are also pretty helpful if you're stuck. My only major complaint is that HW is 10% of your grade while the exams are 90%, it makes the class much more stressful when tests are pretty much all of your grade.

Homework is incredibly difficult but tests are made such that if you do the homework you are very over prepared for the tests. Very helpful in office hours.

If you're taking a regular course schedule and decide to take Dr. Simmons without having already taken this class or reading the material ahead of the semester, GOOD LUCK. The pace for the class is crazy fast. He gives a lot of partial credit which is nice. Best bet is to go hard on the HWs, pray for partial credit on exams, and get a tutor.

He comes off as friendly helpful and gives you a false sense of excitement and security. He strong us along for 5 straight weeks doing theorems and regurgitating the book to us refusing to do any examples. He means well and he has the potential to be a great educator but he is severely lacking experience. DOES not prepare you. 2 q mid term.

The material was difficult but I was able to pass because his lectures are pretty clear. He's not a hard grader either. If you needed for something to be clarified, he wouldn't hesitate to go over it again. My only critique is on how little we're graded on, but I think that's with a lot, if not all, MATH207 teachers.

At the time I believe we were his first class. So, he likely has changed since. Simmons is very kind, respectable, and impressionable. Likes to laugh with students and is understanding. He enjoys class participation. That being said His tests were impossible. I believe the average on a final was 21%. But the class was curved by 30% insanity.
