Reviews of professor Servaas van der Berg

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Servaas is a brilliant, young professor who is clearly very educated. He holds amazing lectures with weekly pop quizzes, so attendance is pretty much mandatory. Other than the in class pop quizzes, lectures are recorded. We did lots of reading and a few writing assignments. With a good work ethic, you should be able to do really well in this class.

Servaas is one of the nicest professors I've ever had. He is extremely fair in his marking and is always clear as to what content you should expect on exams. Anytime you have a question you can email him, and he responds with extremely thoughtful and detailed answers. There IS a fair amount of reading, but no more than usual.

Servaas is pretty run of the mill for me! Very heavy textbook use, you have to read the entire textbook front to back to do well, however it is manageable. His lectures are very easy to follow as he takes his time explaining topics and gives good examples. Overall I can't complain.

By far the best prof I've had so far. Not only does he care, but he puts it into action. Pushed back deadlines to accomodate student stress and had a lot of understanding for difficulty adjusting to online schooling; waits a few minutes for people to trickle in. Very responsive to students as well, in and out of lectures.
