Reviews of professor Micah McCurdy

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Midterm and final were inconsistent, midterm was way easier. Lectures were not very helpful, better off self-studying. Goes on too many time-wasting tangents. Hard marker.

I've heard mixed things from my classmates about Micah but I personally really enjoyed his lectures. He seemed very enthusiastic about math and the material he was teaching, which was a nice change of pace from the other more boring lecturers. There is a lot of work that you need to do outside of going to lectures in order to do well in his class.

Micah will take the time to learn each student's name and genuinely cares about each individual. He is sometimes hard to follow but will take the time to explain a concept 10 different ways to find one that works for you. Very kind and knowledgeable and would highly recommend him for recitations or any classes he teaches.

An easy grader, and a very kind guy, however, the quality of his lectures are not very good. He spends all the time teaching theory and doesn't solve enough questions. There is no course schedule and if you miss a class or you want to study on your own you don't know what to do. But don't be afraid of taking a class with him, others are not better

Doesn't give enough homework problems. Exams are basically an IQ test, where only the top 5% of students do well because it's practically impossible to prepare for some of the questions he asks. Hard work is not rewarded here people, only natural talent.

This course is fast paced especially in summer. It is very concept heavy. Dr. McCurdy is very passionate lecturer. He gives reasonable background and explanations about how those concepts were developed and introduced into mathematics.he uses lyryx .His midterm cover contents from first 5 lectures, questions are similar to his recitations.

Discrete Mathematics is not an easy topic and has a learning curve. You can't expect a professor to wave a magic wand and make Couse content easy to learn. With that said if you study his lecture and then go on youtube to see other teachers solve practical problems, you will have a good enough toolkit to solve most problems he assigns.

Micah is ok to have for recs. He will help you through a problem but he won't give to much. He will never give you an answer outright or confirm an answer like others do. He can be clear at times and unclear at others. He does speak fast so that can be hard to follow. He is a nice guy and is always willing to talk math. Id give a 7/10 for him.

Awesome professor. He made Differential Equations an absolute joy. I just showed up for class and did the recommended homework and got my first A. His quizzes/workshops were fair, if you did the homework, the workshops would give you no trouble. Thanks again for being one of the best math profs.
