Reviews of professor John Talboom

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
John was a really interesting prof to have. He wasn't necessarily bad, he just didn't seem to really care. The lectures were a lot about how a theorem was discovered and developed with a couple of examples. Some of the tests were easy, and some were really hard. Also, there was a mistake on almost every assignment. The final was really easy though.

I don't recommend giving him a USB with a virus on it, it will probably break him. He's great though!

He is nice and does make lectures fun. You will have to ask him questions during lecture or else he wont go into enough detail and you have not understand the content. If you do have questions, he was always happy to answer them and was always accessible by email. Overall, great guy, average prof.

Very fun course and the professor really made it accessible. Not a lot of course load, with the tests being fair and the lectures being complete. Would gladly take future courses with him again.

His lectures were a little long and dry, but only because he took time to explain things multiple ways for those who didn't understand. Definitely a great math professor for people who are less comfortable with mathematics (especially at a university level). His test were very easy and often reflected the mini assignments he would give out.

John is the best mathematics professor I have ever met in my life, he is an amazing person, he will encourage you to put your work in so much that you are OK, if you are not good in math, take this professor, he will make you better in it. he will explain it as many times as you need to understand the topic with professional approaches.

good luck!

John is by far one of the most caring profs at Trent. He really makes sure that everyone is doing well and understanding the material. A smaller class seems to help him notice how everyone's doing and be comfortable making more jokes, he's hilarious! If you can get past his hard tests, it's well worth it!

John is great but he did move at a very fast pace (and do the Laplace expansion in his head), but that is just his programming. He is very funny, looks just like Tom Cruise, and what's most important is that he never denied the fact that he's a robot. If that doesn't make sense right now, it will when you finally get to have a class with him.

Prof specifically pointed out the students who were there because they had to retake the class. Not cool.
