Reviews of professor william gillam

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
If you're taking business calc, take Gillam. He curves his test HEAVY. Im talking bout you can get a D on a test and the curve bumps you up to a B. The class is hard if you don't have basic algebra skills or suck at math. Your grade is based on attendance, online homework you have every other day, but a majority comes from the tests.

From the moment, the students entered the class he discouraged us about this class and did not give any hope in ever feeling like we can pass this class. He is not a helpful teacher at all, and gives no resources. For a MATH course he gives us abstract definitions about concepts that need to be grasped with examples but he does not believe in that

Gillam is the best Business Calc. teacher. He is hilarious and curves HEAVY! The class is hard but with his curves you can defiantly pass, only if you have basic algebra skills mixed with basic calc. Hands down, best teacher ever. He will save you from failing.

He is a good professor and genuinely cares about his students. The classes are lectures and they are confusing. There are multiple online homework assignments due throughout the week and there are 4 tests throughout the semester and 1 final. These tests makeup majority of your grade. They are hard, but he gives curves on each test.

Gave aggressively dull lectures in which it seemed to be his primary goal to confuse us. He was well aware his tests were far too hard, because he had to curve about 20 points just to get his class average to a C. 0/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND

Great professor overall, he really gives you everything you need to learn the material in the homework and in-class assignments, then supplements it with the lectures. He is knowledgeable and is clear on what he expects you to know, while still being a very understanding grader. He also is very accommodating of any issues and explains topics well

Worst professor ever. Lectures are the most confusing thing ever . You ask him a question and he doesnt answer it, leaves you even more confused .

Since the first day of class Professor Gillam goes in with heavy lectures. Personally, I couldn't understand much of the lectures given that he has a unique and more complicated way of explaining things. The book is your best friend if you read it and practice the problems. Exams are easier than the homework and than the lectures. HEAVY CURVES.

I don't know why so many guys hate him. Tests are really not easy, but what did you want from Calculus? But in the lessons and in the mathlab, we solve problems that are much more complex than what we get on the exam. Usually, the same problem is given as in the reviews, just with different numbers if you. Easy A+
