Soo my ST 431 class that I registered for in the Spring got canceled today and so im looking for a class to take that place. I need MA 405 for my major and the only time that I could take this class is with Manukain. Does any one know anything about this teacher? I couldnt find any info on them.

Thanks

he's a good guy. he's a post doc from armenia, and he helped me with my 520 homework (grad lin alg). he was very helpful and really made sure i knew what i was doing (jordan canonical forms). i'd recommend him as a prof for sure.

thanks for the info. math is my only thing im good at so i just wanted to make sure he could speak english and i could understand what he is talking about.

i had him for calc 3 and hated it

he is hard to understand and he goes over theory more than examples

11/1/2006 7:09:22 PM

damnit, i really wish you didnt say that. now im having second thoughts

11/1/2006 7:30:13 PM

It's a 400 level math class and you don't want to hear theory?

11/1/2006 9:06:10 PM

i just want a teacher i can understand, and one that can teach. im not trying to teach my way through another course

11/1/2006 9:35:40 PM

he can do both

people pay so much more attention to the bad things than the good things

i had this dude for calc 3 too, bad teacher, didnt go over alot of examples, doesnt have clear notes. i wouldnt recommend him

oh my god don't take Manukain

HE SUCKS!

he's not that bad at speaking English but still a little hard to understand
also he has the most monotone voice ever
and the way he teaches sucks, it'll confuse the hell outta you

i had him for calc 3 and not linear algebra so it might be a little different
MA 405 is a real easy class so you might be ok

I don't know if you realize this but the ST 431 class is being offerred still. It's just at 1:30 instead of 8:30 T H and is taught by Woodard not Thompson.

thank you so much. i didnt see that, they didnt say anything about adding another 431 class. So much for no classes on Tuesday, but I would much rather have it 431 and not MA 405 with Manukain now so i dont have a 8am-7pm day with no breaks on mondays. I appreciate it.

Yeah no problem I was fixing to sign up for a new class too before I checked it one more time.

11/4/2006 10:52:32 AM

so you are taking ST 431 in the Spring too?

11/4/2006 1:28:39 PM

yup but I wish thompson was teaching it though

11/5/2006 12:06:07 AM

gotcha, i dont really know what to expect out of any of these ST classes
