I absolutely hated this course. My professor was awful and i couldn’t understand why he was complicating such simple concepts making it so much harder to understand. It was so bad i had to start attending Erin Clemmins lectures to even try to get a grasp. I heard in this pass this course was fun and manageable but with McLean as the new course coordinator it was not. The TA help is also HORRIBLE. The TA for the tutorials didn’t come prepared and didn’t help explain anything, he also didn’t even show up for the first one and left a room of ~400 people waiting for the whole period. I also tried the TA help desk a few times with friends and the TA’s didn’t even know how to solve some of the problems which made me feel even more helpless for this class. I had almost a 90 in grade 12 calc howev...read more

Horrible, fast paced, and not explained well enough in lectures. Profs would often just skip past things quickly and say to ‘just practice’ and you would be able yo figure it out. Which is not very helpful

Awful. Clemens was the only one who actually cared for students.

I loved this course. It's pretty light and it's literally grade 12 calculus. However, you still need to put a lot of effort in to succeed, like doing Childsmath or the course pack. The labs are a joke, nobody understands them...even some of my computer science friends, haha. The structure of the course is amazing. Very concise and straight to the point. The tests however are a hit or miss. They're literally always ONLY theory or ONLY application. I know the profs aren't responsible for making the tests but cmon. I don't think they're representative of the class content, that's just my opinion, tho. The exam was fair, however. I LOVEDDD having Clements as a prof. She's very helpful and kind. You can tell she actually cares about her students and her jokes are funny (sometimes, haha). Th...read more

Course was very well structured with the 3 tests and 3 labs but the final exam was much more difficult than the tests.

The content was useful and very interesting with real life applications.

Good pace and teaching style, would also always answer questions.

There is always a "none of the above" option on the exams so trust your answers.

Very good course if taught by Clements! Decent pacing and fair tests, especially if you've taken calc before.

Lots of similar topics to IB math. Pretty straightforward content that isn’t too difficult. Tests and exams were also fair but you definitely need to study hard in order to do well in the course. The participation quizzes were easy and short. The labs were an absolute nightmare. They involved coding and if your not a CS major or someone who codes regularly then it’s not gonna make sense. TAs do their best to explain it and sometimes give you the answers.

Great teaching style and went over difficult questions from practice questions and past papers.

GO TO TUTORIAL. The TA will explain how to do the lab and take notes because the lab is very confusing to do. Listen to your TA word for word.

Good course for first year. Good difficulty level, especially if you've done Grade 12 Calculus. Didn't really struggle too much with this one.
