Comment:

Professor Kaplan was one of the best professors I've ever had. I've always had a hard time in math but Professor Kaplan presented the material in ways I could understand. He managed to make Quantitative Reasoning a fun class to go. He took a lot of the stress out of math for me. I would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat.

Comment:

Honestly the easiest class I have taken by far. He rarely takes attendance and just plays movies; you don't even need to be there! Watch movies about stats, take a multiple choice quiz that he'll give you ~+15 points on it depending on how you persuade him. If you're looking for an given A and some fun, THIS IS IT!

He's an easy grader! Seriously took calc in the summer with him and barely did anything and then when it was time for testing he would give answers. Perfect for non-math majors!

awesome teacher! if you're looking for an easy A, take kaplan's class. he's absolutely hilarious & classes rarely last the full 50 minutes. you watch movies and then have multiple choice tests on the material but he gives you the answers beforehand. as long as you show up and pay attention to notes, you'll pass this class with an A. great guy!

Comment:

The easiest class I have ever taken. You watch simple math movies, and then take multiple choice quizzes on them. He gives you the answers several times before the quizzes. There is no book, and you don't even really need to come to class. Sometimes he gives the people who DO come to class bonus points. Great guy, knows his class is a joke. Easy A

Does an excellent job of breaking down complex problems into easy to handle bits and how to put them all together. Any problem he gives you in class you will see on the test.

He's very easy. Funny, quirky. Likes chocolate and will randomly talk to you; =) Attendance is not mandatory, but it is suggested as he gives you notes for the tests and he gives you the answers for them, especially a couple days prior. Text not needed. Laid back

The easiest teacher I have ever had in my life. You learn terms like mean, median and mode. He tells you the answers to the exams, and gives you multiple days to come in and take. Attendance is not required.

Good professor. Really nice guy and the class is pretty easy to get an 'A' in. Beware: He will go off topic constantly talking about god knows what. In the end you will learn a thing or two about math.

Management Calculus: Really nice guy who explains things in a way such that anyone can understand. You're a fool not to take him if you suck at math. By far the best option for this class.

I took him for precalc and calc this summer. Great teacher, lenient about attendance. Gives you extra time for tests if you are not prepared. took our whole class out for breakfast at the end of the summer session. GREAT TEACHER AND GREAT MAN!

Class was so easy he gives you the answers to the test the day before and drops your lowest test grades. Definetly the one to take to fill the math req. He knows people are there just to fill a req. so he is very leniant. He is a wicked nice guy that will do everything possible to get you an A.
