Tufts University: David Isles - Mathematics - Professor ratings, reviews and much more | JumboAccess
David Isles | MATH006 - Finite Math| Mathematics2004-04-20

Review:
Professor Isles, while probably a genuinely nice older man, is the most disorganized, confusing, and unprepared professor on campus. None are these are traits that you'd want in a person teaching math to you. While the concepts are not overly complex, his attempts at explaining them tend to confuse students more often than not. In my experience, the class ended up being self taught. If you have some background in upper level mathematics (not necessarily calculus) and/or statistics, this shouldn't be too hard of a math requirement course to get out of the way. However, be prepared to be exasperated at lectures often times.

Workload:
Homework due every class, 3 exams and final. Review sheets are helpful to study from.
