TAKE NOTES AND DO THE PRACTICE EXAMS. He explains very well but he does go pretty quickly, so taking notes is important. His exams can be tough but you will find that a lot of the questions are the similar to the ones in the practice exams, so do them! And do your WebWorks because they're easy points

Very understanding and patient teacher. I found the class moved pretty fast though. The workbook exercises are pretty challenging but are essential to passing and doing well, seriously don’t slack and wait till a test is near to do them. Make sure to consistently do exercises, even a bit after every class and don’t wait till last minute. You need to understand the material as you learn it because cal 2 is not simply memorizing it’s applying many different methods and formulas so you have to get comfortable with that, which is only done by practice. once the test arrives you won’t have to crunch them all and barely need to study if you work like this. his tests are hard but if you do the worskheets, show up to every class, listen/pay attention, ask questions then you should be good!! there are 2 quizzes worth 10 percent which are fairly easy and 5 webworks worth also 10 percent.

I had him for Linear Algebra, honestly his classes are pretty understanable and he explains really well. But his exams are way more different than the exercices he gives in class, which makes his exam pretty tough.
