Comment:

Kevin Iga is a gem. Homework almost every night but it HELPS. He is perhaps the most fair grader Ive ever seen. 8/10 points for knowing how to solve even if you cant. Study guides good but he is so technical they get confusing. Lectures are crucial. If you dont know something ask him right away to clarify. Not an easy A but an easy B.

Comment:

Professor Iga is a fantastic professor and an extremely nice man. He makes it his priority to engage the class during his lectures. The class is graded mostly based on tests, but if you do all the assigned homework, you will do really well.

Comment:

He is one of the sweetest professors I have ever had. Iga is so smart to the point that he does not relate well to students who do not get it. Not an easy class, but he is extremely nice and wants you to succeed. I overslept the final and showed up an hour into it, and woke up to a text and email from him. Barely passed though.

Comment:

This professor graduated from MIT!!!!!! Even more, he finished his PhD at STANFORD!!!! The class is also SUPERB! He gives helpful suggestions and goes over the content very well. His tests are also very reasonable, not too hard but also able to test our knowledge. Definitely will take his classes again if possible!

Comment:

Professor Iga is the best Math teacher so far I had in life. He is very knowledgeable and his lectures are super helpful in helping you to understand the concepts, and ask him for help for any questions if you want to get an A. The 4 midterms and final are reasonable and he is lenient in grading.I highly recommend him and take him for Math 140!

Comment:

He gives daily homework that really helps students to review every section that he explains in class well. His grading is also lenient and a really friendly person. If you think you are not really good at math but has to take this course, take his class because his explanation is clear and he goes over everything steps by step.

Tests are 60% of your grade. Homework is graded by student-graders who seem to arbitrarily dock points (but homework is barely worth anything). He teaches well and class was always fun.

Comment:

Dr. Iga is an amazing professor! He explains things very well, so you can understand why everything happens and where everything comes from mathematically. He has the ability to somehow make math humorous which is fun. He is highly intelligent and fast-paced, which makes his classes very engaging though some people may find it hard to keep up.

Comment:

Dr. Iga is a good professor. He gives homework everyday, but it's fair and you can do it if you go to the lectures. There are 3 exams and one final, which all four comprise 90% of your grade, so study hard for them. But, if you understand the study guide and do the homework consistently, then you will do fine on the exams.

Comment:

Iga, he is a great man outside of the classroom. Inside he is the worst teacher that I have ever had. I might as well have taken the class on my own. He is NOT easy to understand and his examples are the most pointless absurd things I've ever hear. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS.

He is a very nice guy yet sometimes he's examples are not even related to the hw problems. There is no curve or anything but his tests are very straightforward.

Dr. Iga is an extremely intelligent man, and teaches a good Calculus III class. There is, at times, a lot of homework, and you are graded on correctness. He is very helpful outside of class, I took advantage of that several times. Very nice guy, I enjoyed it.

dr. iga is the man. his classes are pretty hard and expectations are pretty high, but he is very helpful outside of class. will always answer your questions regardless of the topic. he is a funny/awkward guy, but he loves his students. he will invite students over to his place, just to play games and hang out.

Comment:

He is intelligent, but his teaching only makes since to him. He doesn't explain things very well, and he uses terminology and symbols that he doesn't explain. I ended up having to drop the class, and when I took it from another university, I got an A. He makes the class harder than it actually is.

He is very intelligent, but he can not teach. He explains things in a way that only makes since to him. He uses terminology and symbols that he doesn't explain.

Comment:

I have had Iga multiple classes. He is my favorite prof at Pep. He is a Genius and thus can lose students as he speeds through examples. He is more than willing to stop and slow down as long as you speak up and ask him a question. Almost always available outside of class for help as well. Also he has some awkwardness that you have to get used to.

Professor Iga is a genius, but doesn't know how to teach those who aren't on the same level as him (which is most of the class). He speeds through examples and does a bad job of explaining.

Comment:

he is a nice guy, kind of awkward to talk to but you can tell he does care about his students. He's not very good at explaining the topics and there's always one question on the tests that you've never seen how to do. His class is REALLY tough. You have to be ready to pour hours into the class if you want a good grade. Tests are very time instensiv
