kinda boring but its a must take since its kind of a base skill u need atp

good for understanding stuff in other science courses too. quizzes are for some reason inhumanely hard cuz they give u 10 minutes even though its the same pace you need for midterms which are around 50-55 minutes. midterms and finals are no surprises they dont pull olympic level questions most of them are about as hard as the practices

very straight to the point, no gimmicks, no going on tangents (despite last name) probably best prof u can get as a starter

- spam questions until ur a derivative and limit rule merchant - have a decent background in fundamental math skills once u get those two reqs done u just have to deal with the final boss of calc I which is related rates and optimisation. spend the most time on those two they are GUARENTEED to appear. if ur prof posts practices do them. go onto the math department website and do those test practices aswell. dont do them on a ipad print them out and take them as if they're real midterms and finals. also dw about bombing quizzes if u did the practices in a well timed pace u could probably blitz the actual exams. on both midterms i had 20 min left and the final i had like an hour and half.

Horrible organization

Glyn is extremely rude and unprofessional. Constantly skips labs and is unavailable even during office hours. His lectures are confusing at best and his slides have minimal helpful information. Just brutal.

Avoid Glyn, any other instructor is probably okay. Glyn is horrible.

this course is so unessesarily hard and made me want to die

i had another professor

Genuinely not meant for first year students and should not be a requirement for those majoring in biology. There should be an easier, more introductory course for those in STEM who do not wish to pursue a career in computer/technological sciences.

Useful up until R Programming. Found it entirely unnecessary. Excel was decent, although I had to teach myself.

Avoid Onoise Gerald Kio at all costs. He is geniunely one of the worst (if not the absolute worst) professor teaching at York and it baffles me that he is still employed. Would stand there, read slides and not EXPLAIN topics, class would blink and then there would be a demo on the board. He would randomly go silent and do things on excel/R without teaching us. He also slipped up that he was more familiar with MatLab, and that he was unfamiliar with R Programming which is something you should not say to a room of 100+ students that are supposed to learn the program from you. Hope he gets fired. Could not tell you one thing I learned from him. There are no pros from Kio.

Go for Andy Mirzaian instead. Only reason why I'm barely passing is due to his recorded lectures.
