Walters is amazing !!! wouldn\'t have passed the class if I had another prof. The class seems intimidating to those who have no background in math but its not so bad with Walter\'s help. Going to class is a must!

Comment :
Not a difficult course, but you will fall behind if you do not keep up with the readings and not come to class. If you put in some effort, you will be able to finish the class with an 80 and above. The course material is not very interesting, however, the prof makes coming to class very enjoyable. The math is very easy to understand and so are the concepts covered in class. The final assignment will be intimidating at first, however, if you put in a considerable amount of time and effort you will do well. Overall, although the content was not as interesting, it was by far one of the best courses I took in my two years in Guelph because of David Walters.

This course wasn't too hard, but make sure you do your readings, it helps. It might make your life easier to do the readings after lectures as the Professor gives a good summary in classes. Shau NEVER posts his lecture notes, so be sure to attend all the classes you can. Overall a very fair professor and a good class :D

If you are lucky enough to have David Walters make sure to attend every class and start the class assignments well ahead of time. Walters is considerate enough to help you with any questions you have along the way, take advantage of this. Never missing a class and attending his office hours resulted in a mark way beyond what I ever expected. Even if you consider yourself bad at math, there is a possibility for anyone to do really well in this class if you try hard enough.

I had this class with David Walters. He's very approachable and easy to talk to. He's also very easy to listen to, otherwise it would be the most boring class. He's very funny and he really cares about getting everyone to do well. If you do the reading and ask questions, you'll be fine!

Take it with David Walters. I sucked SO MUCH at math and still did very well in this course. Makes boring topics into interesting ones by relating them to the real world.
