  dr. gu...he has an accent that is a bit hard to understand at first, i.e trig functions are now "trigga funcions" and triangles are now "trangulas". he knows his material, but he's not the greatest at explaining things. homework load is absolute bullshit. nightly homework: 1-39 odd, 41-47, 63-67 odd. thats about average, and its really ridiculous to do 4 of those a week. first midterm was insanely hard, he was actually laughing when we went into the room because the class before mine found it so difficult. not funny when the class average is less than 55%. i took calc bc my junior year in high school, and got a 4 on the AP test. im not a math genius or anything, but its not like the material has changed from 2 years ago. but for some reason, I'm really struggling in his class. i won't go as far as to say he's a bad math professor, but i wouldn't recommend him.
