Fall 2023 - Professor Varvarezos gives me hope for the future of mathematics educators. He is very thorough in lectures and gives many examples, so taking notes go great. He also videos his lectures on Canvas, although the camera work is often so bad and annoying that I'll just go in person. His grading schemes are very forgiving, with an option where you can even drop your lowest midterm completely with more weight on the final. Test questions are very accurate to the practice sheets he sends out, with some variations in types of problem but with similar concepts. You get to make a cheat sheet for exams; both midterms were very straightforward, and the final was easy but utilized more critical thinking. Varvarezos is also very helpful in office hours, both on Zoom and in-person, he is great at explaining!!

Winter 2023 - I loved this class so much! I highly recommend Professor Varvarezos because he is such an engaging lecturer. He always pauses to ask if anyone has questions and answers them to the best of his ability. He draws very informative figures that help students visualize new topics well. I've attended a couple of his office hours and I would definitely say that it was worth my time! Overall, Professor Varvarezos is super approachable and very understanding. 10/10 experience.

Spring 2024 - I enjoyed the content of this course, and I thought the course was well-organized and enjoyable overall. Lectures were a bit dry, and the professor seemed unconfident (despite rarely making any actual mistakes). However, they were clear and easy to follow as well. I enjoyed the homework, and thought exams were fair. I would have enjoyed it if the class were a bit less computational and a bit more proof based.

Fall 2024 - Professor Varvarezos goes materials in a slow-paced but explicit manner. The exams are getting harder as the course proceed, but the examinable contents are consistent with what covered in the class. The workload is relatively light, but be cautionary about the practice test problems as they could be testing in a trickier way.
