Comment:

I was hesitate about taking this course with Kryder because of the reviews he had received on here but in reality this class is not that hard, it does require a bit more effort. I did struggle with some of the material but attending tutoring helped. His exams are pretty simple just look at previous exams he provides. He is a kind person.

5 unit exams and 1 final exam. All homework and in class quizzes count as extra credit. He drops your lowest exam score.

He gives you a lot of resources that will help you on quizzes and tests. Homework is online. If you show up you will do good on the tests and pass his class.

don't take this professor if there are others teaching math 45, you will regret it. he speeds through his lectures, very rude and non understanding. SI sessions were a must for this class or you will fail.

Comment:

The worst math teacher on campus. Does not work with students because of a small mistake. The exams are hard and half of it is fill-in and you have to show all your work and your goes into the grade. He yells and talks through a microphone and his class is just him sitting there scrolling through all his notes that are online. Don't waist your time

The class is pretty easy if you just show up and pay attention. I missed a couple of classes and didn't do alot of homework but passed through my tests with an A. You should probably do the hw though because it's worth alot of points.

ADVICE: -DO the homework, this will help your grade A LOT(100 Points) -Print the notes for every chapter -Trust me, I regret not printing them since the beginning -Look at Previous Exams, because they are really similar to the original one. -Try to attend lecture, raiser to understand -DON'T procrastinate on the HW

Comment:

The course is easy however Kryder is unnecessarily loud and obnoxious constantly in his classes. Hes rude sometimes and quite inconsiderate. He thinks the world revolves around his class and cries when someone doesnt follow his every instruction because it makes his job harder. Takes AGES to grade exams which is bs. Take a different professor.

Comment:

Can be very rude and you can get the correct answer on your exam yet get many points deducted because of something minor! And if you try talking to him, he will still say you are wrong. He does give you all the formulas for the exams which makes it easier but its hard to get a good grade when he deducts so many points. I would not recommend him.

Comment:

Make sure to go to class bc of his daily quizlets! Hell post notes on Blackboard so review them the day before yall look at it in class bc he gets through them quick during lecture. GO TO THE SI SESSIONS! SI SAVES LIVES! 2-3 chapters will be grouped into units, so make sure to review things daily bc theres a lot to remember on exams.

Comment:

He does give a quiz after each chapter yet hes pretty lenient with his grading. He is kind of moody get annoyed easily by noises he considers annoying but that's understandable. However, he not that difficult show up everyday because missing a class can really get you behind on work. Yet doesn't take to much effort to pass

Comment:

Can be intimidating but he really is a nice guy who cares about his students. Class is pretty easy but he moves fast on everything and only does one example, two at most. The subject is supposed to be math but it is nothing like high school math. Yells at random times for who knows what reason. Online hw due right before unit exams. SI recommended.

He seems a bit intimidating but he's a nice guy. Best math professor I've ever had. All homework is extra credit. Has practice tests on BB, exactly like the real exams. Easy A.

Comment:

Kryder is the reason I don't wear my seatbelt to class everyday. His lectures are way too fast and the notes are hard to refer back to. He goes over everything once and then blames us when we fail. He puts up charts after our tests to show how many people failed. Usually above 60% of the class fails. If we're all failing, kinda think it's on him.

Comment:

He explains things pretty quickly and only goes over them once or twice, but if you go to EVERY class and do the homework along with the class you'll do fine. It helps you have some friends with you in the class to discuss concepts with. Also be careful to show all your work on tests

Comment:

When he goes over the notes in class he goes pretty quickly so i suggest bringing your laptop or printing them out before hand. He will dock you a lot of points for a simple mistake on tests. I would choose a different professor.

Comment:

He is the most obnoxious professor I have ever taken. He even gets annoyed when people sniffle in class! He is so specific with every little thing and is not afraid to call you out in class. Overall, the course material is not bad and he does provide good lecture notes. You don't really have to attend his lectures because they are all on Blackboard
