<p>I'm thinking of taking MATH141H with Winkelnkemper, but I'm concerned that it may be over my head.</p>
<p>I took AP Calculus AB as a junior in high school and got a 4 on the AP exam without studying. Since then, the only calculus I've done has been in an intermediate ecomonics class (and it's been limited to derivatives and partial derivatives).</p>
<p>Can anyone here who has taken this class shed light on its difficulty, especially for someone with a relatively weak math background?</p>
<p>I don’t know about Winkelnkemper, but I’m taking MATH141H with Warner right now, and it’s been a horrible experience. I’ll be lucky to get a C, even with a generous curve, and I got a 5 on the AB Calc exam. If you must take MATH141, don’t take the H version.</p>
<p>Also, ourumd.com is a great source of class/professor reviews.</p>
<p>I made my whole schedule at ourumd.com. Great site</p>
<p>Yeah, I thought about taking 141H but I’ve heard the worst things about Winkelnkemper and Warner so I’ve decided to just take a regular teacher. If you really want to be challenged, I would go with Frances Gulick. She’s a hard teacher but fair. I love her but most of my friends think she’s evil. </p>
<p>If you’re just looking for an H-version, go another route. Leave math alone. Do any of you guys know if you can fill the honors requirement with just seminars? Or do you need some H-versions?</p>
<p>^ Yes, you can. You must have at least 3 seminars, but there is no similar requirement about H-versions.</p>
<p>I don’t agree about the H version math classes. I’m currently taking 241H with Macasieb and no one in the class has expressed any regret regarding their decision to take the H-version. She’s a good teacher notwithstanding her low ratings on ourumd. Those ratings should not always be accepted as a true representation of what to expect.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I have no idea about any math h-versions besides 141</p>
<p>I am currently a freshman at Umd and I took Math141 with Petersdorff. The professor was a little weird and it is definitely a challenging class. Study hard and do the homework. I still managed to get an A though but it is very difficult. So I’m guessing that math141h must be harder.</p>
<p>I dont recommend taking it. My roommate took Calc BC got a 5 and then took 141H because of what his advisor said. He ended up dropping it and says he will never take an H version math class again</p>
<p>I have found ratemyprofessor.com to be pretty accurate.</p>
