Student reviews of David Fonken
Review from a student who took M408L
Dr. Fonken is quite nice. The class on the otherhand is hard. His lectures are quite thorough and good. He gives plenty of examples and answers questions. I think he's a great professor. However, this was the first year he didn't make the tests himself. The tests were computer generated and to me were quite hard. He was used to doing his own homeworks and tests...sorta wished he did. That way I'd know exactly what was on the tests bc this time I didn't know anything.

He is an awesome teacher! Get to know him, go to his office hours, he will help you with the homework and make sure you understand it. His tests are easy. Best Math teacher ever! Definitely take him!

Review from a student who took M 427k
Fonken is a great teacher. Although his course time was the 8am slot on TTH, it was worth it. HW is due once a week, and its not a very heavy workload. Three tests, lowest dropped and first you can do corrections. Doesn't put grades online so you have to go to class/office to get your grades. Take him if you can

Review from a student who took m 427k
Very good teacher. Out of 3 mid terms, he drops the lowest, and let us do test corrections on the first one. He makes his test questions from the notes. I would take him over any other math prof at UT.

Review from a student who took M 362K
The best math prof at UT so far. Lectures are clear,straight forward. Does enough examples and there are no trick questions on test. Most of the questions are definitly from the examples he does in class....so take good notes and understand them. one or two may be of home work. Easy A if u are up to date on material. Definitly take him
