Student Evaluations:

  • “Isaac has a true passion for helping students achieve their fullest potential. Math is complicated, and he makes it engaging, interesting, and applicable to everyday life. His love for math shines through in every lesson, and he never makes students feel like they don’t belong in a math classroom. Overall, Isaac is an incredible instructor” – Precalculus Spring 2025
  • “Loved this class even though I do not really like math that much, especially at 8am. Isaac was always fun to listen to and approachable when it came to questions. [H]e treated us like humans and not like people who are lower than him just because he was the teacher. Would totally take this class again, but I do not have to so I wont be doing that.” – College Algebra Fall 2024
  • “Isaac Weiss is easily the best professor I’ve had so far at UNC. His lectures were clear, funny, and extremely interesting. Despite being incredibly knowledgeable, he presented the course material in a way that was straightforward and easy to follow. He was always helpful during office hours and over email. I’m someone who tends to struggle with math, but Isaac helped me to feel confident with and even excited about calculus. I’m going to miss this class a lot now that it’s over.” – Calculus 1 Summer 2024
  • “Isaac is a professor unlike any other. He truly commits to the subject but also to connecting with the students. He truly cares about the success of his students and makes the classroom a very welcoming environment. Isaac is my favorite professor I have had at UNC.” – Precalculus Spring 2024
  • “I would recommend Isaac because he is funny, engaging, honest, and an overall good teacher. He challenges you to think while also encouraging you in the process. He’s also not shy to tell us when he makes a mistake and reminds us that there is more to life than precalc. He’s one of the best professors I’ve had yet and I thoroughly enjoyed his class.” – Precalculus Fall 2023
  • “Isaac is probably the best math professor I’ve ever had. He is extremely enthusiastic and actually cares about the course material, and the student’s success.” – Calculus 1 Fall 2021
  • “Best communicator on the teaching staff hands down.” – Real World Math Skills Fall 2020
  • “He’s an excellent teacher who makes sure that course content is understood by his students by integrating light humor and excitement when he speaks.” – Calculus II Fall 2022
  • “Isaac was a great TA, he was open to diving deeper and explaining topics which we were curious about, was very knowledgeable, and has a clear passion for math. He’s awesome!” – Calculus II Fall 2022
  • “Isaac is a very good instructor! He made the class fun (as much as math can be fun hahah), he made it easier to understand, re-explained things if we had questions or concerns, and was always available outside of class for office hours. As much as I do not like math, he made it bearable. He was relatable and always wanted us to be able to do our best. Thank you for a good semester and being so helpful!” – Calculus 1 Spring 2022
  • “Isaac loves math and it shows.” – Calculus 1 Fall 2021
  • “[Isaac has] as much enthusiasm as can be exhibited at nine in the morning during the summer.” – Real World Math Skills Summer 2021
