Joe Kraisler

"Diff eq was a really interesting class. It had a good balance of keeping the course grounded in applications while still teaching the theory. That being said, I wish we had spent more time on different techniques for solving differential equations rather than existence and uniqueness proofs, as I didn't learn several techniques taught in most ODE classes. The midterms were pretty straightforward and easier than HW. The HW was pretty reasonable, if a bit tedious at times. "

"Professor Kraisler made a difficult class like analysis seem easy. His lectures were engaging and easy to follow. He was always willing to answer student questions in class and office hours and made the point to say that no question was stupid. Homework was extremely time consuming and difficult, but midterms were much easier than it. There were quizzes every 2-3 weeks , which were sometimes tricky, but much better prep for the midterms than the homework. "
