Reviews of professor Denis Silantyev

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Loved Denis! Unlike so many other professors, he gives so many extra credit opportunities (each time you solve an in class problem at the board you get a full point to your final average). Also, he lets you stay as long as you want in his office hours. One of the kindest and most generous professors out there.

Took the algebra/precalc class this past spring and it was pretty rough. As a prereq. math class, this professor will not prepare you for calc1 or beyond. Unfortunately, as nice of a guy he is, he is not cut out to teach this class. Pick a professor who is willing to thoroughly explain the way math works, because with him, its "xy because xy" :/

A pretty decent prof in general. Gives quite a bit of extra credits, tests are not very hard, doesn't really care if you came to class and will give you participation credit even if you never came. Take him if you have the chance, won't be a breeze but much easier than some other hardcore math profs

Denis is a new professor so he still becoming accustomed to teaching. He's very smart and understands the material well and is always available after class to explain concepts. He gives a lot of extra credit and will help the students who really try in his class to get a good grade.
