Comment:

This class was so difficult! He doesnt know how to teach in a way that other students can understand. Gives plenty of homework. He is very helpful when it comes to his office hours and asking questions. Gives study guides that are similar to the exam. If you are good with math take him but if you are like me and suck at math dont take him.

Comment:

Kolitsch is not a bad professor, it's just the way he lectures is most definitely not for everyone. He can literally speed through 3 sections in 1 class period, which causes confusion in the difference in section. The textbook, imo, is not much help either since its not that clear. He does give partial credit on quizzes/exams

Comment:

Hes really not as bad as people are making him out to be. He is someone that is so smart, he doesnt know how to dumb it down for those who arent so good at math. His study guides are just like the tests, and he only requires you to show up on test dates, but the lectures are very helpful. The only downside is the online homework.

He is not a bad teacher at all, I would even say he's a great teacher. I just simply don't understand what he's getting at. He is not very personable

Comment:

The momentum of the course faltered due to the weak textbook and computer based homework. The lectures were enjoyable and informative but overall the class was not. The course had no consideration for other courses or student life. I would take another L. Kolitsch course if it was the only course I was taking that semester. No Thanks

Comment:

This is the first time in my college history that I have made an F. This teacher is not one to joke about, he is excellent at what he teaches, but goes through it too fast. Homework is practically useless, and study guides are almost literally hidden. Not one to take if you want to get a trying grade.

He's a decent teacher. You have homework every class period but it's not due for a week. His tests were definitely something you need to study for. It was not an easy A, but it was possible.

Attendance was taken the 1st week of class, but never again after that. All homework is online & you are given 1 week for each assignment, to do between 10-35 problems. (You are allowed to go back and correct the ones you missed.) He gives awesome reviews for all test. This really helped me a lot. Lots of note taking. No early class dismissal.

Comment:

Don't take this class, ESPECIALLY if you're bad at math. He'll answer your questions, but be prepared for tough tests. He gives study guides but the tests are way harder. He gives a lot of homework, but it is all online, & the due dates are about 5 days in advance, which is a plus. He doesn't offer extra credit,or make-up tests. It's sink or swim.

A little more difficult than Math 191 but I still made a high A. He makes it clear what he wants and has bonus points on all of the tests which he has a study guide for. He will also help you during office hours.

He knows what he is talking about but talks very fast and moves quickly. You can redo homework as much as you need to get 100 within the time frame. He gives out study guides for the tests but they are still difficult. NO quizzes. An okay teacher but could use some help

Comment:

Is a great teacher! If you at least do the homework and do the exam reviews, you will pass! I am awful at math, but the fact that you can redo the homework as many times as you need to get a 100 helps keep my average up! He can be loud and annoying at times, but honestly that's a lot of teachers anyhow. I highly recommend taking him!

Comment:

He goes way to fast while you're trying to write down the examples he puts on the bored. He skips steps of the problem just because he can do the math in his own head. If you can avoid taking him, DO IT. I wish someone had told me not to take him. His class he ruined my GPA. Yes he knows his stuff, but he can't teach it!!!!!

Comment:

No matter who you take for 191 and 192, it's going to take a lot of work. That's just the class. I think he was very clear with his lessons and is much better than the other professors that teach this course. He does speak a little loud, but he lets you turn in homework after class and lets you email the homework if you won't be there. Good teacher

Wow, first time in my college career to make an F. I did all my homework... in fact had 87% for my homework grade and went to every class except one. This guy is a real piece of work. The girl next to me missed a test because her FATHER DIED and she let him know ahead of time that she would be at the funeral but he didn't let her make it up. RUN!
