Comment:

No reason for anyone to get less than an A in his classes. If you have a good sense of humor, he will like you. After the first test in both calc 3 and prob stats, I only showed up on test days. got A's in both. Also, if he fires at you, fire back. If you arent a complete idiot, he will think its funny and like you a lot more.

Calc 3 and Prob Stats. Speedy **** is a good Professor and you'll do great in the class if you can survive the verbal barrage. His sense of humor can be quite caustic and his classes ARE NOT for those with virgin ears. Gives you cribs and goes over the in class to ensure your success. Do the work and it's an easy 99.

Comment:

Did not like this guy's sense of humor at all. Easy class - did the cribs he would hand out a night or two before the tests and I did fine. Didn't go to class because I couldn't stand his sense of humor. Take him if you need a WGA booster or easy class

Speedy **** is one of those professors you need to take just to say you have. He's so different from any other prof you'll ever take. All notes are printed out for you and practice tests are also provided. You need to learn the material to do well though.

Comment:

Prof. **** is real cool. U cant understand anything on the board but his handouts are helpful. Cribs for all tests and curves pretty good. Probably the coolest person on campus. If u are sensitive then I recommend u dont take him cause he has a "different" sense of humor, but funny though.

Prof Richard is the best math teacher at the university. Hands out typed lecture notes each day in class, they're useful for cram sessions, hands out cribs which are very accurate to the upcoming tests, never cracked the book. Good curve system for end of term.

Awesome teacher! Hands you the notes and his cribs. His cribs are EXACTLY like his tests with different numbers. You have to be a moron if you don't get a good grade in this class. He's entertaining too!

Comes off gruff, but is quite helpful. All notes are printed off so you can follow along. Very easy to pass, hands out cribs for tests, and reviews directly from them. The amount you learn depends on personal effort.

Comment:

Prof Richard (not Richards!!) is the funniest guy I have ever met here. He swears all the time, but his class was the funnest ever. He gives all lecture notes to you at the beginning of class, and goes pretty fast. Do the cribs before the test and it will be NO problem. Ask lots of questions, just be prepared to be made fun of by him.

Comment:

Passes out notes for each class, and multiple cribs for each test. Tests are just like the cribs, so the class is pretty easy. Very entertaining if you're not easily offended, and overall a pretty good guy. Very smart guy, and very helpful if you have a question... just make sure it's not a dumb question.

Good teacher.... passes out notes so you can follow along instead of trying to write everything down. Gives you cribs so you can study before tests! Gives partial credit for work... which is always nice! Very understanding.... and doesnt require attendence.

Does a great job at retaining student's attention. Passes out his notes, a HUGE plus. And while some students can be offended by his abrasive and no-nonsense nature, he is very good natured and is a lot of fun.

Comment:

has notes prepared for you so you dont have to spend class writing, you can comprehend. has examples of problems, you can also look at book for different examples, though no ku math teachers teach the way that book is. he really cares about the students. he may not be politically correct but he is one of the few teachers ive had that care
