Student Comments:
I think Chris is a pretty sweet teacher.
Chris was a "mack." He did a great job.
Chris is a great teacher with good abilities.
Math is cool. "New Wave" mentality/style s**ks to such an excessive degree I can hardly articulate it in words.
[Note: "New Wave" refers to the "reformed" calculus which UM was introducing that semester.]
The instructor did a very good teaching job. He was enthusiastic and explained concepts in different ways so students will understand.
Chris is a great professor, but he grades ridiculously hard. Other sections did not have to do 1/2 as much work as we did.
Overall this was a good course but the group homework, although useful, get annoying because it's hard to find time for everyone to meet. Maybe if it was only assigned maybe once every 2 weeks.
Chris is an excellent professor and presents the material in a way that makes me understand. Before this class I hated math; now I love it. Thanks Chris!
Chris is an enthusiastic teacher who seems to enjoy what he does.
