Reviews of professor David Clancy

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
HARD exams! Lectures are very boring, and they are not very helpful for HWs and exams. Exams are so much harder than other profs! Be prepared for self-studying for HWs and exams. Nice feedback via email though.

I took this class online, and David is a great professor. He gives lots of review materials on Canvas, which are very helpful. I once forgot to do the homework so I emailed him for an extension and he gave it to me. The one thing is that the exams were pretty hard and I felt like I never had enough time.

David's review materials and non-graded worksheets are so helpful for understanding topics he taught. His online lecturers were so boring--it was as if he was talking to the wall(it actually was). But he was always willing to help and answer any questions. Exams were very hard. I felt I did not have enough time to do the exams. He is a nice choic

He's very nice however had very boring lectures that didn't reflect tests well. Tests were hard, attendance is definitely mandatory.

I still dont understand the concept of having grad students teach high level math instead of professors with years so experience. I took him for math 307, his lectures were sloppy, taught materials that are on the homework a day before it is due. Pretty much had to go home and teach myself the materials. Does not give partial credits on tests

David is a great instructor. For mathematics majors like myself, he was willing to go into a little extra detail about the theorems outside of class, but for everyone else, he skipped to the important stuff. His lectures were clear and concise, the homework was fair, and the test were tough, but reasonable. Highly recommended.

David was able to memorize all the lecture material w/o looking at notes. He is a genius. AND he is good at listening to and answering students' questions. One time he even stay after class for almost an hour to answer my questions in detail, and I really appreciated that. Most of the test materials will be covered in lectures, so make sure attend!

Please don't take online class with David. Your grade will suffer and you will not learn a lot from his class. He is giving the hardest differential equation and he want you to finish exam in a very short period time. I hope he changes

I took his course MATH632 in the spring semester of 2024. David has a wonderful pace at teaching. He makes difficult concepts easy to understand and the jokes from time to time always make the class much more intriguing. I definitely recommend David!
