Reviews of professor Dumitru Rusu

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
He is hard to understand at times as well as his writing. If you attend lectures regularly you'll get the hang of it. Attendance only matters when there is a quiz. He is extremely lenient on HW due dates + graded on completion. Posts announcements telling u exactly what you need to know for quizzes/tests. Knowledgeable guy, and class is paced well.

All these other reviews saying he's good are genuine cap. He doesn't teach nearly half of the stuff that you need to know for quizzes and exams. The homework is annoyingly long and you have to teach it to yourself the whole time you're doing it. ignorant to the many struggling kids in the course.

Ok so this class.. where do i even start. HIS NOTES SUCK, he talks the whole time and doesn't explain in clarity, just goes off of his previous notes from previous years. he is hard to understand. this class is just awful I was better off taking Calc 1.. to pass this class you most likely will have to teach yourself or TRY to pay attention in class

I only got an A because I took Calculus (AB and BC) in high school. I'd not recommend him if it's your first time learning Calculus. Take him if it isn't your first time because otherwise it's a breeze.

He's a nice professor but it can be hard to understand him at times so it makes it kind of hard to learn the material. Sometimes he would over explain to where you may get lost but he's willing to go over whatever problem you're having trouble with. There were 10 quizzes and homework is grading off of completion. He also likes to make jokes.

If you need to take Applied Calculus with Professor Dumitru, get your hands on Applied Calculus 5th Edition in advance because he rushes through lessons. In the first four weeks of the class, we covered almost all of Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 Section 1. The next week, we covered Chapter 2 Sections 2, 3, and 4 in one lesson.

He is tough to understand and he has terrible handwriting. When In need, he doesn't help you but just tells you that you need to pay attention during his lectures. The homework is a long list of pages and he needs to see your work leading up to your answers even if it is right. Definitely do not recommend taking it unless you want a challenge.

I took him in Spring of 2020, when covid hit. He made jokes in class and was one of the best instructors I have had. Homework was assigned via WebAssign but was doable. 100% recommend.

He was very helpful, and taught the class well. It was a tough course, but he helped prepare us pretty well. He did make the occasional mistake, but other than that he was a great professor.
