Professor Vashaw is a great lecturer, he speaks very clearly and takes lots of time to make sure everyone is understanding everything before moving on to the next topic. The pace of the lectures was very easy to follow, even though the content can be difficult at times. The exams were fair, and I found the midterms somewhat difficult but the final was a bit easier. The homework workload was definitely manageable, and the textbook was helpful for brushing up on the class and seeing some more example problems.

This class is definitely challenging, and personally I struggled more in the first part of the class, which focuses on parametric curves and vector calculus. The second half of the class focuses on gradients and more straightforward extensions of single-variable calculus to multiple variables, which I think is a bit more intuitive. Overall, this class isn't easy but if you have to take it, Vashaw is a great professor to do it with.
