Attila Por is not by any means the worst teacher you will ever have, but will probably be the most difficult to understand. He is Hungarian, and has the accent to prove it. He's not organized whatsoever, and will zone out from time to time while teaching. He is also easily distracted and will go off about some other math topic other than the one you are studying and make it difficult to follow. Attendance is required, he passes around a sheet at the beginning of class. And there is usually a little quiz one day a week over what you learned that week. He'll give you H.W problems without covering the material and expect you to know it, so you will need a basic understanding of concepts and terminology. He gives H.W but doesn't make it mandatory to turn in, its just for your own use and knowledge...BUT YOU STILL WANT TO DO IT, trust me, it'll help you in the long run. It may be easier to read the chapters yourself and make your own notes from the practice problems in the book. His notes aren't given very well...he tends to write the problem down, give you the answer and expect you to know how he found it. If you think about asking questions, you will get a long response that wont get you any closer to figuring out how to do it, and will most likely put you in a more confused state than you already were. A's, B's, and C's do not come easy in this class if you just listen to him. You'll have to hit the book hard and write your own notes that are easy for you to understand...however if you do this, and make your own notes from chapter to chapter, you should have no problem when it comes test time.
