Average

His class is fairly easy to pass. He is a very nice person and easy to get in touch with outside of class. However, his teaching and lectures are exhausting and he will explain very simple problems a million different ways. All homework is online and correctness counts. Also, notes are graded. If you are a second late he marks you tardy and lose you 5% on the final every tardy.

Awesome

Professor Gaberdiel clearly knows his stuff! I hadn't taken math in six years and decided to take college-level algebra, which I passed with flying colors. I've only had a few outstanding professors in my life, and he is one of them. His lectures are well-organized, he is kind, and he genuinely cares about your learning experience. 10/10 would recommend!

    and I also spend many hours each week solving problems from historical texts. I usually have at least one or two large problems I am working on
