Quotes

Spring 2024 - PDEs

• "The best math class I have taken here at CSU!"

• "Thank you! I'm putting this down as one of the good math courses at CSU (mainly because you taught it)."

• "[T]hank you for two great classes (345 and this class). You have really pushed me as a mathematician and always make me excited to learn new things in your class. Thank you so much for all the work you've done with the textbooks and building these courses!"

• "[T]he content stretched my brain in a positive way. I've taken a course with Evan before and in both of them, I have grown as a mathematician and learned an incredible amount. The process definitely challenges me, but it is always worth it."

• "Evan really does try to help us get a thorough understanding of the content and also encourage real-world applications of our learning. I've already used a couple of skills from my 345 course with him this semester, and I expect to have that experience with this course as well."

• "[T]hank you for the great semester. I have really learned a lot and I know the topics covered in the class will help me in my career. Your passion for math as a whole and learning has greatly impacted me."

• "Thanks so much for the awesome PDE class, I certainly learned a lot more than I thought I would have!"

• "Everything about this class was structured well: the textbook [you wrote] was very useful, especially near the end with numerical approximations. It's hard to find good resources online for this stuff, so this was great."

• "[T]hank you for a great class this semester! I thoroughly enjoyed learning about PDEs, it was definitely one of my favorite classes I've taken and I hope to pursue if further!"

• "Thank you Evan for two great math courses!"

• "I really enjoyed how relaxed he was since it made the class more enjoyable, and I enjoyed the width of the subject matter since there were always interesting real world examples to go with the math to keep it interesting."

• "I appreciate that Evan writes "not pass" as opposed to "fail" on the mastery assessments. Even though it is a small detail, I think it is definitely impactful. It makes students not feel as though they personally failed but rather that they're just not there yet with the understanding."

• "I enjoyed this a lot more than my anxiety over winter break told me I would! [My prior] Differential equations [course with a different instructor] was a pretty terrible experience, so I was very thankful that you knew what you were talking about. It was a very welcoming environment."

• "This was a good class thank you for pushing us and teaching us."

Fall 2023 - Applied Math for Chemists I

• "By far Evan Camrud is the best math teacher I've ever had. He's incredibly smart and knowledg[e]able about the topics covered in class as well as other topics that I found very interesting. He's very accessible for discussions and office hours and he's also a very personable individual which makes it easy to reach out to him on a range of topics."

• "This was the best math professor I have ever had the honor of being taught by. While the material was difficult to grasp at times it was easier to learn and comprehend with Evan Camrud."

• "Evan is by far one of if not the best instructor I’ve had at CSU. He checks in with us to make sure we are understanding the content and doesn’t just lecture at us."

• "Dr. Camrud did an excellent job with this course. Even though the material was difficult, he really made sure you understood and would answer any questions you may have had. I think he went above and beyond to make sure his students were prepared for the next course."

• "He made the topics easy to understand which was really good considering the challenge and difficulty level t the math we were learning. It's super hard to learn things like math when your instructor isn't able to explain it in a way that makes sense to you."

• "He is a very good teacher and is very helpful when we have questions about the course material."

• "Great class, quite challenging, but good for those who like math and a good challenge. Professor was great and did well to not only teach us what we needed to know, but would also teach us the relevance to our majors."

Fall 2023 - (Honors) ODEs

• "I enjoyed the class so much. It was nice learning under your guidance. I hope in the future I can get a chance to learn more under your guidance."

• "Evan is awesome! Highly recommend as a professor!"

• "I enjoyed the learning environment in the class. Not only did I learn the concepts but I also learned new ways to approach a problem."

• "I really enjoy how the course has been set up. The independent learning aspect along with the quick responses from the professor make the class engaging and a lot less stressful than it might have otherwise been."

• "I like how we flip the classroom. I feel like I'm able to actively think in class and collaborate with my peers effectively."

• "Great learning environment! It was very relaxed, yet scholarly."

• "Evan was very patient [and] understanding. His expectations were pretty high, but I think that's a strength because it pushed all of us to grow as students [and] try harder overall."

Spring 2023 - Applied Math for Chemists II

• "Great person and a great teacher, the lecture videos help to make sense of the book, keep up the good work Evan."

Spring 2022 - (Honors) ODEs

• "Professor Camrud is one of the best instructors I have had, here at CSU."

• "Great instructor [and] classroom environment."

Fall 2022 - (Honors) ODEs

• "Class was great, instructor set it up well, kept the material interesting and made it easy to learn hard concepts."

• "Excellent professor! Explained things very effectively."

• "You did great this semester, thank you!"

• "I really enjoyed this class. The material was taught well. I learned a lot this semester and had fun doing so. Thanks for an awesome differential equations experience!"

• "I had a great semester with you! You made the class very interesting thanks!"

• "You clearly poured energy into finessing how you communicated each concept, and you had clear communication. Lectures were great."
