DO NOT GET TOMENES!!He’s not very good at teaching. Coming from someone who has very little background with math, it was hard adjusting to him because he thinks anyone who takes his class are math majors He gives very difficult exams, however, I think it somewhat prepares you for midtermsmore

mixedMATH 30.13

not enough reviews here about TOMENES and TLDR he sucks!! had him for math 30.13. he is very inconsiderate. he would tell us that solution matters more to him, while giving 1/5 marks for something with “correct” solution. one of my tests had a 30 point question, that was comprised of 6 5point questions, with each question being needed to answer the next. i fucked up around the second question, and even though my solutions were correct, he gave me 6/30. a lot of other people who had him share similar experiences. a huge pet peeve of mine is that he’d never give time during classes to consult about our test scores. we’d do it in-between classes and it was really difficult to appeal especially if you had a class after. he’d also be extremely rude when trying to appeal, saying “ thats not my problem” etc like ugh SYBAU!! anyways strongly advise you avoid him!!

mixedMATH 10

didnt take 30.03 but for math 10 would not recommend TOMENES, Mark mostly self taught during the whole class :( he was confusing and sometimes would make mistakes leading us to have second thoughts about the answers good side is he uploads everything! i ended up with a B+ though but its because i would study the ppts and exercises.more

positiveMATH 60.2

context: i took his class ‘24 intersession MATH 60.2 tldr: for me he’s a fine prof (makes lessons digestible, helpful PPTS, accommodating with questions), confusing at times though, no bonus points opportunities (at least in my time) what i liked: - he gave very helpful powerpoints (if you will have him, I suggest that you print them out) - makes lessons easy to understand as much as possible - gives a sample LT with an answer key - the sample LT’s difficulty is the same with the LT (he gets questions from them sometimes) - accommodating with questions - for workload, there were no assignments at all (workload is just reviewing for the long exams) - provided necessary formulas during the exams (but i think all profs did not sure) what i dislike and/or might be a dealbreaker for some: - there are times when he is rlly confusing 😆 (he accommodates questions though) - did not give out bonus points opportunities ☹️ (asked if he could provide some extra activities to boost our grades, but he said no) tips for his class: - want an A? study REALLY hard like take the lessons to heart. you’ll need to put in A LOT of effort as your grade depends on the 3 LEs - listen attentively during discussions and still take notes! (he provides solutions on the board that he doesn’t include in the uploaded ppts) - always keep Excel opened - read the PPTS - do the sample exam independently despite what I gave on the cons, don’t worry too much if you got him. again, just listen to his discussions, consult, and do many exercises independently then you’ll pass I forgot if he was generous with giving partial points in the exams though sorrymore
