<p>what are your suggestions for professors this fall?</p>
<p>stein deturk kthnxbai</p>
<p>i think spiegel is fine too. Hard to understand, but decent otherwise.</p>
<p>Stein is who you want for Econ 001.</p>
<p>For Math 104, they're all the same. They basically rewrite the book's examples on the board and call it a day.</p>
<p>I had Leidy for 104 and had a very enjoyable experience with her.</p>
<p>Stein for econ.
Avoid Pantev for math.</p>
<p>What about Vanerp for Math 104? Penn Professor Review ranked him/her pretty high, but that wasn't for 104.</p>
<p>what's wrong with pantev???
**** I got that mofo for math 240 next sem</p>
<p>Try counting how many times he directly addresses the class. Funnier though is time how long he stares at his feet during a single lecture. Odds are it will be greater than 50%.</p>
<p>In general though, he doesn't explain stuff well/at all. Be prepared teach yourself out of the book (what I did) or go to office hours. He's a nice guy and all, just not a great prof.</p>
<p>should i go into a different section (there's one at like 9 am. . . )?
any idea on how Shatz is? He's not on course review</p>
<p>Definitely get Ward for 104... he's very fun to listen to -- makes for an entertaining class. He's also good with his explanations. As for Econ, go Stein.</p>
<p>If anyone knows anything about Shatz for 240, that would be awesome. A Google search reveals he got his PhD at Harvard, but you're right in that he's not on course review.</p>
<p>As for my recommended profs, go Stein and DeTurck.</p>
<p>He's known for holding classes during vacations, holidays, and the like. Worst of all, he has assignments due on those days to make sure students attend. Supposedly, a good chunk of one of his classes returned early from spring break last year to attend class.</p>
<p>Shatz? Damnit.</p>
<p>How is that allowed? Seriously...</p>
<p>For econ, it simply says staff under the professor area. Is there any way to find out the actual professor for each given section.</p>
<p>How is it allowed? Easy. He's tenured. Not only is he tenured, he's emeritus. More or less, the guy is retired.</p>
<p>The university will not fire a tenured retired professor. He's knows it and takes full advantage of it.</p>
<p>after all this work, do the students learn a lot in his classes and is he a good teacher?</p>
<p>Couldn't tell you. I've never had him. Truthfully, if I were in your position, I'd take Pantev's class. He's a really nice guy, just a bit "math professor"-ish. Plus, if you find a 2-3 other kids to study/do homework with, you'll be fine.</p>
