Reviews of professor Russ Furse

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Russ is an amazing professor and I loved his class. I was extremely lost at the beginning of the semester with no math background but he stayed after class with me several times and repeated things for me until I got it. I've never had a prof invest so much time into my learning and I couldn't be more thankful for him.

Russ is an amazing professor. He posts his notes online but there's so much more information in the lectures, you can't miss his classes. His tests are fair and he tests you on concepts more than just "plug & chug" for the math stuff. Overall an amazing prof, would take any class from him.

He is a very likeable prof and loves what he's teaching. However, his classes felt very disorganized and he would often spend more time on content that was not tested than content that was actually going to be tested. His tests were centered around critical thinking questions and felt impossible to prepare for unless you memorized everything

I love everything space so I know a lot about it but I still wasn't expecting an easy A. Your whole course if graded 2 tests and a paper (plus 10% mini-pres). If you want precise and clear questions (tests), stay away. Both midterms are based on 7/8 questions and are meant to challenge you. One or two answers for a vague question. Hope your lucky:l

He often told us to go home and teach things to ourselves rather than teach them in class. When we asked for practice questions for the exam he told us to make them up ourselves. Very disorganized. He would tell us one thing and put another on the exam. Assignments were loose with structure and fairly simple at least.

good lectures, very engaging and kind professor. course material is really tough so if you get sick and have to miss class, you'll likely struggle a lot. one group project, a midterm, final, and a final paper. there is a textbook but its a free online one-lectures are much more important in this class. subject matter is interesting, just difficult.

It isn't difficult work but you do need to know what was taught to do well, as it should be. As long as you actually study you'll be fine. Nice guy, would take again.

He has a great personality and his lectures are interesting, fun and collaborative, maybe lacking in a bit of depth (because the tests are difficult if the depth is not covered). Midterms was an unexpected punch to the gut but it made me work harder for the finals. All in all, amazing Prof! Always ready to help his students. Recommended!

Love how he teach by telling the story. He explains the materials really well. The exams are little bit hard, you need to understand the materials He is a funny guy
