Reviews of professor Zachary Espe

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He was super chill and very accessible. Each exam he would extend his office hours for about 3 extra hours per day. I went to his office several times and each time I felt a lot better about understanding the material. Sometimes in class he would mess up and have to start a problem over, but it was no big deal. Definitely recommend!

Lectures are organized and well-planned. I would say that he is one of the best professors I've had so far in Clemson. He's currently also studying as a grad student at Clemson, so he understands that we have other classes, too. He assigns us plenty of classwork and homework that helps hone our understanding of the material.

Zachary Espe was the best math teacher I've come across so far. He was very enthusiastic about making you understand the material and would go over hard concepts with the class. He was very available for office hours and would always prepare you for the tests.

Course was set up that you buy a note taking guide instead of a textbook so you don't need the book and very easy to follow along. He is super nice, lectures were explained thoroughly. There's graded online hw as well as in class activities on random days. 3 exams+final 80% of the grade. Do the practice/old tests, if you can pass them, you're fine

Calc II is a hard class at Clemson. I would be lying if I said I wasn't terrified coming in. Mr. Espe did an amazing job breaking some tricky material down and letting you know that he cares. He has so many office hours and goes out of his way to give everyone the resources they need to succeed, even in an online format due to COVID.

I liked Zach. He's not the best communicator, but he tries and he cares whether or not you do well. I had him for 1040 and MLM was the only HW he gave. You have an in-class group learning activity every once in a while. Wish I could've taken him again for 1070 but my schedule wouldn't let me.
