Calc 1 in general is a tough course. This prof did not take time or care enough to make the workload more attainable, or even lecture efficently.

Most of the "learning" comes from a software called Newton Alta, which gives questions based on how well you did on the previous question. Most assignments usually took me about 2 hours with 3-5 a week.

The professor seemed nice but didn't make an effort to lecture efficiently. He also last minute announced when the lectures are which conflicted with 2 of my other classes.

Take calculus in high school, or take it transient at another school because this class was not worth the tuition.

Great professor!

Easy class, review lectures and get an A

Professor Rachid is a understanding professor. Each week you will get a new module and just complete all of the assignments. Also, the exams were open note, which made the class easy to get an A.

Do all of the assignments and most importantly watch the lectures he posts for each module, it will help you understand the material better.

This class was horrible in all aspects. Mikusinski’s accent was so thick that I couldn’t understand half of what he said, and the textbook was even more confusing than Mikusinski himself.

If you get Mikusinski as your professor for this class, leave while you have the chance. Save yourself.

Take my easy rating with a grain of salt, because the difficulty was very overhyped for me as in I feared this class and thought it’d be super hard but it wasn’t. Also, my particular class was open note, which it usually isn’t so I lucked out. However, I could see this as a polarizing class where you do extremely well or extremely bad. Grade is based off section homework, exams, recitation activities (you don’t HAVE to attend to do them and do well but it majorly helps), and discussions.

Do all the homework, attend (or watch) SI exam reviews, and review the homework before tests. If you can 100% the homework, you can 100% the exams.
