I have three options for Math 1AA3 and was wondering if anyone could give some insight on their teaching abilities:
Lozinski
Marikova
Cuadros
I currently have Cuadros, but from what I could find, he is not that great of a prof

Yeah, I would switch out of Cuadros. I didn't like him at all. Haven't heard about the other two, but I doubt they are worse than him.

I had Cuadros as a prof and hated him. He made a mistake just about every class and often did not want to answer students questions. It really seemed as though he didn't want to be teaching the class. I know several people who just stopped going to class and read the textbook and found that they understood the material better since it was the same examples as in class just done in a clearer more correct way.

Yep, I learned out of the book and ended up with a really good mark. He's also not the most exciting prof and I would fall asleep in his class so I just ended up not going. I believe the classes was at like 12:30 or sometime in the afternoon when I am fully functioning. That shows how sleep inducing this guy is.

Jeremy we must have been in the same class because I had it at 12:30 as well. I totally agree about how boring of a prof he is, I found myself dozing off even though I wasn't tired.

Seems like I will have to go with Lozinski then. Too bad the good profs are not teaching Math 1AA3 this year for some reason :/

Lozinski is a very good prof...makes my top 5 in the whole university (#3 ish?).
My favourite being Martinez-Pedroza, and close second being Lovric.

Oh man Lovric was fantastic. I originally had an 11:30 lecture with a different prof, but I woke up for 8:30 just to have him as a prof. Really really excellent.
