Selected Reviews:

Mr. DePaemelere was very helpful during the duration of this course. He provided much help and was always available to help. He is very thorough in explanation and makes difficult material easy to understand. He was prepared and was very qualified to teach this course.

The lecture material was presented in a clear and organized manner. The homework assignments were a little long but were effective in ensuring we understood the material. Collin did all he could to be interactive with the class and I felt did an excellent job in doing so.

I think that this class was a little more difficult than my other classes in the fact that it is the first class our teacher has ever taught. I think that as time goes on, he will become better and better at teaching this material.
