Reviews of professor Herbert Edelstein

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
he goes on some rants during the lectures but is really good for hw help and review. Just have to pay attention to what he says and take notes.

he is a good professor, also very caring. Ask questions because he likes that and his tests are straight forward... STUDY HIS POWERPOINTS

If your good at math he's a great professor. He likes participation and is more lenient is you just pay attention and try your best. He's a great guy, just don't slack off. He does not take well to people asking him to repeat a question , but appreciates if you say "I don't know" instead of wasting time.

Probably one of the toughest Professors I have had at MC. Calls on people. Its either you get it or you don't. Good at math or not, I do not recommend taking this Professor. No study guides are given. Expect quizzes and lots of homework through a site. Exams are also difficult. Lecture is also really heavy. Choice is yours.

I didnt learn anything from the lectures because the way it was taught was very puzzling and unclear. In addition, there was too much unnecessary joking.

I took calculus in high school so it wasn't hard to get an A. His quizzes and tests are fairly straightforward. We had 2 hour long classes, but he cracks a lot of jokes to keep it interesting. A good amount of homework is assigned but it helps prepare you well. Final exam was easy. Takes some time to respond to emails.

He loves teaching, and that's apparent, but he spends a lot of class time telling stories. He's funny and relatable, but doesn't spend enough time explaining difficult concepts. I taught myself from the book, I learned almost nothing in lecture. I had high hopes because he teaches other courses well, but he fell short in calculus.

His lectures are very puzzling and easily gets off-topic. I had to teach this course to myself because every time I would ask for help I would just get more confused. There is no opportunity for extra credit but he does drop the lowest test grade at the end of the semester. He would not use class time effectively because of unnecessary joking.

I took his class thinking it wouldn't be that bad, but he doesn't really teach. He goes off slides (even though there are lots of mistakes) and he is disrespectful towards his students. He is rude and he judges his students for getting a question wrong, instead of helping them out. Don't listen to these other "good" ratings.
