Hands down best professor ever. He explains things in a way that anyone can understand, and is always available to answer questions. He tosses a few jokes into his lessons to lighten things up a bit. He actually cares! First A I've ever gotten in math.

Comment:

I am not a math person, but with the way this professor taught I was able to pass with an A. His class was super easy. there is a lot of homework if you wait until the day of the test to do it, but it does not take long. He is funny and super caring. I would Highly recommend taking his class to anyone.

Mr.K is awesome. Very good instructor and very concerned if his students are doing well or not. But of course its up to you whether you want to do good or not. I enjoyed this class wish i could take him for math 100.

He is the most amazing professor, ever! His style should work for any student. He quizzes every day--which makes you DO the homework so you will stay on top of your studies. Quizzes are open note and you're able to discuss with the class. He reviews the material from the previous day before he starts something new. Wish there were more like him.

Awesome teacher. Didn't like math at all until him, and now I'm about to finish the class with the highest grade in math I've ever gotten. Thank you again Mr. K.

Comment:

Professor K is VERY straight forward. If you try in his class he takes a genuine interest in your academic success, but if you don't come to class, don't try to understand the content, and don't pay attention in lectures, he doesn't care how you do. Class is mandatory. He WILL drop you after 3 absences. He is a fun guy and he's very nice!

Comment:

I would not recommend this teacher if you are someone who struggles with math. I spent most days in his class struggling to understand the content. I spent most days after work and one weekend day at the tutor center just to figure out what we were doing in class. Better to take a different teacher if you are not the "quickest" learner of the topic

Has ZERO tact and no compassion for students. Tells you right off the bat that he doesnt care if you pass or fail. If you miss more than 3 classes or quizzes, he drops you without telling you.

Professor K is so AWESOME!!! Coming from someone who has never liked math, he is, by far, the best math teacher I've had and am very sad this coming semester will be his last before retirement. Thanks for making math an amazing experience Mr. K!!!

I love Prof Karelius!! I was sooo scared of math, however, he made it exciting to come to class and learn. Very easy to understand his methods. Too bad he is retiring soon..

He is an excellent professor! I would strongly recommended to students who are planning to take math courses. He expects students to do homework and show up at the classroom. He acts like very strict but he is really caring! He has a great sense of humor. :)

What a great prof!! He is crystal clear in his lectures and explanations. Grades very fair. All h/m due thru "My Math Lab". Allows one page of notes for tests and the final. There is alot of h/m, but he gives you plenty of time to finish. I would absolutely recommend him!

literally the first time since elementary school that I have enjoyed and understood a math class. great dry humor, had no problem going a lil slow for us and as long as you were there and involved you couldn't help but understand it and get a good grade.

Simply put, go to class, do your homework, and ask questions in class if you don't get something. There is no reason to get less than a B in this class, so long as you are willing to work. I am no Math genius, but this instructor has taught me well enough to feel like one.

He was the best. Easy to follow and understood that math was difficult for some people to understand. He took the time to clarify every question that the class had. I'd take him in a heartbeat again. Great teacher
