Comment:

Interesting guy. He seems to have a hard time explaining the content in a way that everyone understands. He is moving at 1000 miles a minute and not taking the appropriate time to explain. His exams are very difficult; hard to get a high mark without doing lots of outside time studying. His lectures often don't correspond to exam questions. AVOID

Comment:

Very easy topic. Had a high A all semester, knew exactly what to do when I took the final. Got a C in the class. The tests have no partial credit. Screws up problems on the board in lecture. Confuses himself. Great guy, but would not take his class again.

worst professor ever! He can't teach, homework is difficult, and the notes he post online are useless. I usually enjoy learning math but boy did he killed it for me. I regret taking him and please do yourself a favor and don't take him.

His exams consist of four short answer questions. The class average was a 50 for the first exam. He assigns weekly homeworks, which are moderately difficult.

Comment:

The WORST professor I've ever known. He could not explain the material clearly,but randomly and confusing. Even the TA explained much better than him. Always went to TA office hour&another section in order to get understood. The exam was tough. Deeply regret took his class.

Comment:

He makes you pretty confused rather than understood and then you become as a stupid student in the front of your friends when discussing the homework assignments. He doesn't even bring with him notes or something that can guide himself or us in what lessons we are in.

Ineffective professor with extremely poor communication skills. It is highly recommended to take MA 320 with another professor in Mathematics.

Comment:

The tests, homework and lecture all different. Erratic information not uniformly distributed. Ask a question and he gets mad- acts as if he is too good and cant be bothered.He twists complicated processes to be less clear. Hw sets have answer but no complete solution.Test avg is low takes median of all. He might be a genius,but he sure can't teach!

The homework assignments were different from his lectures, which was different from the book, which was different from the tests.

Comment:

Instead of following the book and course guidelines like a normal Calc 3 teacher, he decides to teach the most random and arbitrary things, then makes the tests completely different. I've never had any difficulty in math until I had this class. I actually took Calc 3 in high school and I still find this just ridiculous.

Comment:

He teaches nothing but theory and did no examples, the TA did no examples either. Then his test questions are completely different from anything presented in class before. His test average was a 40 and he curved it to a 72. Horrible math professor.

He uses a weird book that doesn't even explain anything. He is scattered, and his tests are multiple choice. Who does that in Calc 3? SWITCH SECTIONS!

Comment:

Dr. Molzon is an all-around B.A.M.F. People who dislike him do so because they are bad at math, not because he is bad at teaching. He has Poisson running through his veins.

Comment:

The people criticizing Dr. Molzon, are probably people who shouldn't be in college. He is extremely helpful and extremely knowledgeable. If you find his classes hard to comprehend at the 100 level, then just stop now, your wasting your time and money

Comment:

If you are willing to put a lot of effort into the class then you will get a lot out of it. He is a little scattered, but the course design and topic list is very good. Very helpful, not just with course material but with suggestions for getting ready for grad school. I can see how he wouldn't work for someone willing to spend 1 hr/wk on the class

I do not care your comments on him. if you are taking his 417G class.you need to follow his course regularly to get desired grade. Also, He is so kind and helpful person if you go to his office. I think everybody should take his 417G class.

Comment:

No good at all. Class was super boring, I fell asleep a lot (probably didn't help that it was at 8am). He just went over practice problems in class, not explaining what he was doing at all. Online homework is very easy and helps your grade. Huge curves let me get an A in this class.

Comment:

This guy is the worst teacher that UK has ever hired! During class he jumps from board to board doing problems incorrectly. He will try to solve a problem the most complicated way possible and cant even do simple algebra right. He doesnt explain any concepts.If you go to his office to ask for help, he wont help you because he thinks its cheating!
