Professor Hellings was great. I loved the way he taught. He is a good lecturer and explained concepts well. It didn’t feel difficult to keep up with the content. There was usually a worksheet with every class, and they were marked as complete/incomplete if you got everything correct, but you are given multiple attempts to submit and given feedback on which question you got wrong. The web assigns were once a week and manageable. Exams were stressful (as in any class), but he provided plenty of practice before each one. Overall, enjoyed this class!

Professor Hellings can explain difficult concepts in a way that is easy to understand.

His office hours vary each day of the week, so there will probably be a time when you can go. Doing worksheets at the end of each class may feel a bit jarring at first. However, his worksheets also give you multiple chances to correct your mistakes (like 3 tries). I think he does a good job with connecting calc 3 topics to the ones from calc 1 and 2.

Hellings is actually my goat hes super nice and is super clear and concise with how he explains everything. As a chronic class skipper, I never skip his class because I know I'm always benefitting from attending. He can also crack a few decent jokes.

Professor Hellings is an excellent professor. There were a few standout qualities about his teaching style: Precise & concise (lectures are to the point, explained in layman's terms, short). He is also very patient, accommodating, and reasonable. Hellings always kept his composure, and delivered a clear and short lecture.

I rarely left the lecture unable to grasp the concept at hand, so long as I was roughly paying attention. The in-class notes do a good job pacing the content of the course, so one concept is not covered too in depth, and vice versa. Towards the latter units, though, where integration in higher dimensions is common, hard focus and some time spent outside of class is necessary.

All of the exams were straightforward, with a reasonable representation of the content that we had learned (with the exception of one, which covered an extensive amount of content, but not with unreasonable depth). Hellings makes sure that the class has ample time to complete the worksheet, and consistently postpones the deadline if he feels necessary.

The jump from calculus II to calculus III (content wise), is large. Taking this class, however, was surprisingly not too bad, and Hellings made it worth it.

Professor Hellings is truly the saving grace of this entire class. I have never struggled more with a math class in my entire life, and still managed to pull out a high B even though I genuinely thought I was going to fail. And I don't mean this as an exaggeration. In all sincerity I thought I was going to have to retake the class. This class definitely requires a lot of going to office hours and working through problems with the professor or TAs. I would say the biggest struggle is how fast-paced it is, and tests will appear out of nowhere (not really - Hellings has a calendar, but timeline wise it feels like that). This class put me through so much pain this entire semester that I truly considered dropping it, only for me to literally end up doing fine. Take it with Hellings!!!

He is truly one of the best math teachers and professors I've ever had. He has made an overall difficult course into a good time. Please make sure to get a 100% on everything besides exams so there is room in your grade.

Professor Hellings is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He is a really caring instructor that you can tell is passionate about what he does. Each class has a 20-minute pre-class assignment and an in-class worksheet, which can be resubmitted up to 3 times for full credit. Every week, there is an online homework (Webassign) that takes about 2ish hours to complete. The exams are fair and are not too difficult, as long as you prepare well with the extra practice he provides. I recommend redoing all worksheets, Webassigns, and in class examples to prepare for exams. Overall, Hellings is a great guy who makes a fast-paced class pretty manageable.

One of the best teachers I've ever had. Very kind, explains concepts well, and always has an enthusiasm for teaching. Also very patient and willing to answer any question. The course load isn't too heavy, and the lectures are well-paced and well-written, with notes to fill in throughout the lecture. The flow is a little fast, with a few new concepts introduced every class, but everything is well explained, with solid examples, both visual and mathematical. Overall, a fantastic course, with a passionate and caring teacher.

Professor Hellings is a genuinely nice person and pretty chill. His lectures are good and he goes into depth to make sure you understand where everything is coming from. I would recommend doing the practice tests!! A lot of similar questions show up on the exams.

A lot of people say you either find Calc 2 hard and Multivar easy or visa versa. I'm one of the people that had a harder time in Multivar. That said, I think professor Hellings is a big part of why I was still able to get a good grade in the class. I enjoyed his teaching style, and I found him to be very clear when explaining difficult concepts. He always asks if the class has questions, and is very understanding of any circumstances that may come up.
Homework is decent, what you would expect for an applied math course. There's always a worksheet due after each lecture, but he usually provides some class time to get it started. Additionally, you have up to three attempts on the worksheets, so you can get a 100% without issue.
I loved having professor Hellings. I definitely recommend him; try to take his course if you can.
