Reviews for Andrea Bonito
Average Rating:| a778999 Course: MATH340 Grade Expected: A- April 8, 2008, 2:30 pm | Extremely hard to get a good grade in this class. Puts complex proofs like the formula for directional derivative on tests. Makes students afraid to ask questions with a "if you don't know this, you shouldn't be in this class" attitude. Don't even bother going to the lectures because you're not going to understand and will have to reread the textbook anyway. |
| misharaj Course: MATH340 Grade Expected: A- December 4, 2007, 5:19 pm | You'll spend the entire class writing notes. It's likely you won't understand all the proofs he puts on the board. Your grade is determined by quizzes/tests based on the homework. Use office hours if you want an A. Good class for math geeks. |
| azure Course: MATH340 Grade Expected: B- November 30, 2007, 10:22 am | It is very tough to do well in this class. Bonito gives a quiz every week with questions directly from the homework. However, the homework itself can be daunting, and often involves complex and intricate proofs. Also, his tests are difficult and involve intricate proofs. It's easy to get lost in his class, as his explanations are complex and rigorous proofs. Students often find asking questions an unpleasant experience. |
| Anonymous Course: MATH340 Grade Expected: A November 30, 2007, 9:13 am | Bonito is an excellent professor for Math majors in particular. His lectures involve extensive formal theory explanations (with his own special notation), which will make the mathematician at heart very happy and the rest rather confused. Be prepared to spend a lot of time with your textbook doing the homework, because though homework does not affect your grade, the quizzes given weekly on homework problems do. Approach with caution, but know that you will emerge with a pretty thorough understanding of vector calculus. |
| ganelo Course: MATH340 Grade Expected: C November 30, 2007, 8:14 am | Definitely only take this class if you've done very well in a college calculus class, and maybe not even then. The material is often difficult to understand at normal teaching speed; however, Bonito teaches extremely quickly, and unless you actually ask a question, he rarely stops for them. The weekly quizzes come directly from the homework, but the homework is often very difficult. It is possible to do well in his class, but you have to either already know the material, be an extremely quick learner in complex math, or be willing to devote 30ish or more hours a week to the class. |
