Tests can be brutal. You'll be find as long as you read the supplementary class notes. His lectures are straight from the notes so you don't even have to pay attention in class. Just print out the current unit and follow along in case you have questions.

Some lectures were better than others. Exams were tough, rather unforgiving grading. Okay in office hours though.

Comment:

TK was an awesome teacher. He made his lectures amazingly clear and organized and was always available to help. The tests were fairly straight-forward, but this class takes a lot of outside work in order to do well. Definitely take TK if you plan on taking Diff EQ!

Comment:

This guy is simply amazing. His lectures are stunningly clear and organized. He makes himself avaiable and is exceptionally helpful on subject even outside of diff. eq. The tests are ultimately fair. For this class, however, the textbook is somewhat useless. Later on he does many things not really covered in the book.

Kriete is SO much better then some other professors teaching this class. He is really helpful and wants you to learn. And most importantly, the lectures MAKE SENSE!

Comment:

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Key to this class is not going thru blindly. Take time to understand what's happening, it does not take much difficulty/stress to comprehend everything. TK makes it easy but like every high level math class, it needs your utmost attention w/hw and lectures! TK is your best bet!!!
