Comment:

He is funny, nice, and caring. His tests are super easy. You must attend tutoring to understand the material better He gives homework but it is optional if you want to do it. He has his own tutor who works magic in helping you understand the material better and who provides you with study guides before the test.

More like social hour when we needed to learn. Half of the class dropped by third test. Basically learned by YouTube because the lectures were very messy. Dont take.

Comment:

the only reason I passed his 115 (A) and 125 (B) was because he always has a side tutor after class he tends to ship many steps when explaining examples from the book and easily goes off topic where you have to remind him to resume explaining math. Yea he has a good sense of humor but I don't recommend taking him for 227.

Comment:

Kendis is a nice person, but his high rating comes solely from lowerdivision math classes where students prefer an easy professor. He is not very helpful when it came to Calculus, and you ended up having to read or watch lecture videos elsewhere. He should not be a professor for Calculus. He makes too many mistakes and it only confuses you.

Comment:

This professor has a good ranking and good feed back because most students like taking easy professors that talk about anything else besides the subject Honestly you will not learn anything from him unless you read the book or have previously taken the course. He makes A LOT of mistakes and he pretends to do them on purpose He needs to be replace

Comment:

Worst professor I have ever had. He gets off topic and goes on rants about stuff completely irrelevant. The lectures were just 3-4 examples from the text. Always made mistakes and had students correct him. No point in going to class. Just read the book on your own. No one knew what to expect on the test. All he said was read the whole chapter.

Comment:

I took his classes for calc1 and calc2. Although the clac1 was relatively easy, the calc2 class was very hard. His exam problems were not easy at all. Yet, he doesn't drop any exam scores or curve the grades. I don't understand why people saying his class was easy for them. He is a one of the toughest math professors.

he is patience and answers questions about math. He helps students with setting a tutor for his own class after class. He gives a schedule of the chapter you read per week and the schedule of the test which help to prepare before the test plus the tutor after class helps.

Amazing profesor. Do your homework and you'll pass the test. He might look out of topic, but he teach trough his philosophy that math must be learn for life and not just to pass the class. He loves jokes and lot of story times. He has a tutor so go to tutoring at least once a week to get a pretest sheet that help A LOT!!!!!!

Great professor who cares about teaching his students the material. There's no homework, all your grade is based off exams and finals. He gets off topic sometimes but he is only trying to keep the class interesting. He tries to be clear about everything he teaches, so its worth it to come to class. Definitely one of the better math professors.

Professor Kendis is amazing. I have taken several of his classes, and I'm not the best at math, but he was patient and understanding. He gave me great advice and no matter how many times I wanted to give up, he'd give me look, I knew I could do it. Yes he is a goof ball, but he is caring, and he loves inspiring us. Grades on a curve, drop lowest.

I love Professor Kendis. He's funny and his lectures are easy to follow, although he gets the same examples from the book. Gives homeworks weekly but it is a way to get you more practice on what you're learning. He's also very considerate and easy to approach. Take him :)

The best thing about Kendis is his sense of humor and anecdotes. He's intelligent but a total goof ball. Textbook is not required. I got by with a used $5 Stewart Calculus text. He is not the best teacher but excellent if you can manage to study on your own. He curves exams and is generous with partial credit.

PRO: never had homework. Hired his own tutor for his classes that was VERY helpful. CON: tends to go off subject during lecture which can be confusing BUT he pays for his own tutor who stayed the entire semester. He put learning the info in our hands and made it our responsibility. I liked not having tedious HW assignments. he loves curve.

his teaching isnt clear at all. If you wanna pass the class, you have to do tutoring everyday. Thats the only way you will actually have an idea on what it is that he is trying to teach. Dont expect him to reply to your email no matter how urgent or important it is. He might reply a wweek or two later. Ridicules students for being late.

Solid teacher: Didn't assign any HW and would sprinkle stories about historical math people to make lectures more interesting. Thought he was really funny too. The tests were SUPER easy and the amount of time I spent on math learning seemed unproportional. Do yourself a favor and really understand this stuff for your more advanced classes later

Professor Kendis actually helped me become a better math student! He surprisingly makes math feel pretty easy. He is also pretty funny and really tries to bond with his students and cares for them. Homework is also something I recommend doing since it prepares you for his exams. verall I really like him and I'm currently in his Math 125 class!
