Reviews of professor Abram Axelrod

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Axelrod is pretty good at teaching but can be rude. You will need to devote a lot of time to studying and the course is very test heavy. You cannot cram or wait last minute to study before exams. The exams are similar to practice exams. He is very honest about what will be on exam. Going to his office hours is helpful. His mode is variable.

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This class was really difficult, but Axelrod was very fair in grading. He got grades back very fast, and he gave lots of good examples/applications of the content in lecture. Lecture not mandatory. I never read the book, but it might be helpful. Favorite part is that he would give you an outline of what would be asked on the exam

Good teacher and fair teacher, but an absolutely terrible person. Said some disgusting things about female students. Made some students uncomfortable in office hours with comments and actions. Mocked a student who committed suicide. There's a reason why all of his lab quit working under him and mutinied.

Professor Axelrod was an amazing teacher who cares about his students. If you reach out for help, he will definitely give you it. The class was a bit hard at first, but he truly does want you to succeed.

Professor Axelrod was a good teacher and clearly wanted his students to succeed! It was a difficult class but he was very accessible and taught the curriculum well

He is a great guy. I did not put that much effort but still did decent in the class. If you did poorly in his class, that means you were lazy.

This class has been known to be notoriously hard but Prof. Axelrod made this class not only accesible but also approachable. He breaks it down in a way that is understandable. While the class class is graded on very few things but if you study/practice and put in the work then you will be able to get a good grade in the class.
