I am in Calculus 1 (Calculus with Analytic Geometry) in college this semester.
BLAH
I took it last semester and had to withdraw, all other classes including Computer Science was an A. The professor was a nut who focused entirely on theory and Proofs, without really explaining the beginning concepts and practical application.
My new professor is awesome, he explains things on a simple level FIRST, then moves on to the harder stuff. I am actually not totally lost in a math class for the first time in a while.
Only bad thing is that my commute is much worse - the class is on another Campus. My normal campus is 21mi from home with ok traffic for the Northern Virginia region, but the other campus is right in the VA suburbs of DC, thankfully right off of the interstate. But now I have a 40mi commute each way in classic Washington Metro Area traffic, 2 days a week.
Is it bad that most of the math professors on my main campus get a 1.0 or 2.0 on Rate My Professor? The majority of them are legitimately terrible.
