Reviews of professor Alexander Walker

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Very intelligent and nice person, always eager and willing to help, explains things very clearly and methodically. One homework every week which gets easier as the class progresses. Midterms were open note. Final paper, no final exam. Exams are very similar to homework and practice problems. Class is interesting too, take him!

if you do the homework and not press practice another version on webassign you'll do well on the tests. He's open to questions before and after class. There is one thing is is bad about him. He makes REALLY HARD workshops. I've seen some from other classes and his are way harder. Also out TA told us his other sections dont have ones that hard.

Really enjoyed him as a teacher. You could definitely tell that he was passionate about the material and he made is fairly interesting. That being said, workshops were very difficult and lectures could get boring at times with some skipped steps that made things confusing. Overall a nice and smart guy and you'll do well as long as you do hw and try

Very nice guy, and very smart! Always willing to help. Likes to throw fun challenges to make you think. The class is very hard and you will learn a lot as long as you pay attention, make sure you have a solid grasp of number theory/proof writing before taking this.

A history of math class should not be that hard. When I search teaching videos on Youtube, teachers give examples of how to change old time notions into modern ones. But what we do is to solve scaring problems. He's a nice guy, but assignments really hard. Even spend time to study, you'll probably not solve these problems!

Poor lecturer, very monotonous and didnt spark my interests with the topics he taught. Although he is a very smart person, his inexperience showed when he tried teaching the class at lecture.

The cleverest and hardest teacher in Rutgers.
