Reviews of professor Charles Starling

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
For a challenging second year course, Prof Starling tried his hardest to really make every topic manageable and clear. His assignments might be challenging but the questions are almost similar to what is covered in the lectures.

Professor Starling is a legend! He explains Calculus concepts and topics very thoroughly and likes to reason a lot in his lectures, which is very helpful when he gives examples, since it can quickly broaden your understanding. Additionally, contacting him is very easy as he attempts to reply to emails very quickly.

Calc is definitely challenging on its own. However, Starling's lectures are extremely helpful and tutorials are extremely crucial to do well on his assignments, quizzes, etc. He may seem very serious at first but once you approach him a lot he is very inspirational and caring. I'm so happy he's teaching next semester Calc too.

Really good professor. The content itself will consume a bit of your time but he's extremely helpful during his office hours and the course itself has really good structure to it. He will give you all the resources you need to succeed in the course and as long as you study, you won't see anything too crazy or unexpected.

Starling is one of the best profs for first year. He is easily approachable outside of class and his lectures have amazing connections from interesting calculus topics to reasoning with theorems in proofs.

I'm really glad Starling is teaching this course. He cares about his students and helps them as best as he can. He presents lectures that are not only clear but they are also fun to watch, especially the examples. His assignments are sometimes tricky but some tutorial backup will be extremely helpful in checking things over. Quizzes are fair!

Math 1052 is definitely a very challenging course, although Professor Starling is a great choice to get through it. He has very good lectures and makes it easy to understand the content. Although, this is by no means an easy class, and if you slack off you'll definitely fall behind (and catching up isn't easy). Definitely choose this prof!

Professor Starling is easily the best math professor I have had so far. His lectures make very obtuse and abstract mathematical concepts seem very intuitive and he is always quick to respond to any questions. He is very easy to reach outside of class. Go to all his lectures and take detailed notes and you will find he is a brilliant instructor.

I found Charles to be uninspiring, infuriatingly fastidious and self-righteous. As someone who not only had to take one of his classes but (regrettably) also ended up working for him for one semester, I can say with utmost confidence that he expects his students to provide A LOT of unnecessary details. Also, not a shred of charisma. Don't take him!
