Pros: He is a good lecturer.
He will explain the problems if you email him about homework questions.
He follows the syllabus entirely.
He is very knowledgable about the material.
Cons: He spent too much time reassuring us not to worry about our first exam, but did not do anything to help us with it at the end.
He promised to look at individual grades rather than looking at entire class grades, but he didn't.
He is too smart to teach calc.
If you are confident about your calc, you have learned it before, take Levy. If you are taking the class to learn calculus, don't take him.

Pros: Great lecturer, funny, engaging, and experienced. Makes calculus as interesting as possible.
Cons: Hard tests, lots of homework, and lots of quizzes. Attendance, while not being graded, is mandatory due to the amount of homework and quizzes in discussion.
If you have to take calculus, which is a difficult course, Dr. Levy is a great option. His grading scheme is fairly flexible, but he is in no way easy. This course is pretty much a weader course at Maryland, and due to the large class numbers, getting individual help from TAs or the professor is virtually impossible.

Pros: Such a good teacher! Seriously my favorite calculus teacher, he always cares about his students and if he sees that they are trying really hard he will disregard a first test completely if they showed a lot of improvement.

Pros: The fact you have 4 days of math will really help you learn the material, even if you're horrible at math.
Cons: For a lecture that is 1 hour and 15 minutes, I find that Levy can be very slow and boring sometimes...
The two discussions per week help as one is simply for general calculus help, where the other discussion is for a biology related worksheet homework you must do every week. Each will help you understand the concept (better than lecture in my opinion)
