Style & personality
A seemingly meek, balding man, Euler is a good guy. He's a decent teacher, but he can easily make you look/feel stupid when you ask questions during class.
Not a whole lot to say about Euler, pretty average college calculus teacher. Like most, he seems to think that calculus is just a review for everyone.
Sad to say the worst thing about Euler, not including 4 tests and comprehensive final, is the complete lack of partial credit. This is because his test are multiple choice, so it's all or nothing.
Student opinions
He's not approachable, kind of rude and intimidating at first. He doesn't fool around with his math though. I think a teacher who requires homework, like Dr. Shepard, would be best for a person who isn't very confident in their abilities for Precalculus. Calculus 1 and 2 he definately rules, though. He likes to teach asuming the student has fully memorized the previous lesson, often calling out students in class and seemingly insulting them. starts class early, lets out late.
Dr. Euler uses lots and lots of examples, which makes learning easy. I found him to be a pretty approachable sweet old guy. I suppose you either really really like him or think he's an awful teacher.
