Reviews of professor Louis Komzsik

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
His class is very conceptual-based, so if you want example problems, go to discussions. His tests are relatively simple and straight-forward, similar to the ones he assigns for homework, which is very little. I'd recommend reading the textbook before class, so it'll be easier to understand the concepts during class.

Dr. Komzsik is a pretty good professor. Not only does he go over important mathematical concepts, but he connects them back to Engineering. This made the class much easier to understand. Only four homeworks are assigned, there are no quizzes, and you can bring two note cards to the final. However, there's no curve, and exams are tricky.

The TA basically carried the whole class. While his lectures are informational, they are hard to learn from because he does everything conceptually without numbers. I basically found myself blindly copying down notes and then trying to make sense of them later.

Lectures are proof-heavy with typically one example for each concept he introduces, and he doesn't post his lecture notes online. You can use a cheat sheet for each exam, and he tells you what you should put on them in lectures; the exams were straightforward. Make sure you do examples outside your own time to fully grasp the concepts he teaches.

4 hws, 1 midterm, 1 final. Grade based on 100 point scale. The book is garbage for learning, only good for practice. His tests are similar to the hw. His lectures are proof and concept based with basic example to get the gist. Some lectures are not in book but tested. Lecture before test are test review in which he gives direct clues so go.

He is a really good professor although he has some accents. He is very kind and cares about his students. He adjusted the grading criteria and homework problems to made us feel comfortable with the class. In general, he is a really good professor.

The TA is Even better than him and he makes his students have no interest on the math at all because of his useless lecture. Dont take his course if you have other choices!
