Comment:

I took his class because of the great reviews on here, but I didn't have that same experience. The material presented in the video lectures & lecture notes, didn't match what the textbook presented. I felt lost on each instructor created problem and the notes didn't help. I used tutoring and even they didn't understand.

I struggle with math. I took math 70 online, there are 4 assignments you need to do in order to go to the next, But he post tutorials step by step on how to do the home work for each section. He sets you up for success. When I fell behind I spoke with him and he didnt hesitate to help me, he genuinely cares about his students. Just communicate!

I took Math 70 online. There are a list of assignments that have to be done before continuing to the next chapter. I found that helpful. He provided lots of videos and examples. He was straight forward with how you will be graded. Overall I enjoyed this class.

Ken is an great teacher! There are 5 at home exams, 5-6 weekly assignments. The final was 21 questions pencil and paper, but he gives a review to study and if you can answer those questions you can pass. He gives awesome online lectures, to make sure you understand. The final is worth half your grade and you get one side hand written 8x11 notes!

This class was really fun. I've always liked math, but he made me rekindle the lost flame of mine. lol He was really fun to learn from. He made sure everyone stayed on track, and you could even go ahead if you wanted because you had all the assignments you had to do. I would definitely take another class from him.

Initially I was worried about this class since I have always struggled with math the most, but Anderson was a great professor. He explained the material clearly and made sure the students were on the same page. If you have any questions he is always happy to help. I definitely recommend this class.

Loved this online math class! He gives video lectures that go along with the homework. They are so useful!! My other online math classes I feel like I am teaching myself math because you just read out of the book and try to learn it. With him though, it feels like you're in class. He allows a page of notes for final front and back. No midterm.

Did an amazing job at really helping his students understand the material and not just be able to intake info and puke it back up on a test but actually know what everything means. He helped me like math which is bizzare.

Professor Anderson is amazing - I loved this class! He can move through lectures a bit quickly, so if you aren't paying attention you may get lost. Do your homework, participate in class and ask for help when you need it. Anderson is always ready to answer questions and explain in detail.

Comment:

If you love math and word problems take this class. If your not good at math, consider other instructors. He is a hard grader and despite A's on most of the math lab homework I got an F in the course because of math anxiety on the final that consisted of WORD problems, not just one, but many. I did not have time to even finish the final in 3 hours

A very nice gentleman. This class is very straightforward, if you show up and do the homework (Optional) you will easily get an A in this class.

Great professor! I didn't realize how amazing his lecture video's were until I took a different teacher. Very thorough and easy to understand. Wish I could take his class for all my future math classes. Got an A and felt prepared for MTH111. Very nice guy too.

Comment:

Ken's courses can be a bit overwhelming with how easy other courses can be at this school, but he really wants you to absorb the material. If you just do everything he recommends that you do, you will come out of this course with an "A". Not only that, but you'll actually know the material.

This was hands down the best math class I've ever taken. Mr. Anderson is really clear with what he expects from you, how you can ask for help, resources for if you're struggling, and what you should do in order to succeed in his class. Super amazing teacher.

He is so smart and such a good teacher!! I was worried going into his math class because I am not good at math. He was really helpful and responded right away to me! He let us use notes on the final and he was easy to understand. He is the best math teacher I've ever had! There is a lot of work but just do it and you will pass! :)

Comment:

Ken is a great teacher, but if you struggle with math I would not take him. There is lots of textbook homework for this class which I found amusing since it's an online class, also his reviews for the tests count towards your grade which I found odd since reviews are designed to prepare you for a test and traditionally don't count.

I am currently half way through his math 095 class and so far he has been great. I am taking the course online so it has been a little difficult but I have always more than enough resources available to help. There are no group projects but there is a group discussion board on the website that is helpful for hearing what other students have to say.

Comment:

This was my first math class in college and I have never been a great math student, so this class didn't come easy to me. Ken is friendly and helpful if you ask him questions, but he mainly does a couple examples and leaves you to do the rest. There is a lot of homework, but not counted for credit. He allows notes on quizzes, midterm, and final.

Comment:

Excellent math teacher! I struggle in math and I ended up getting an A in the class. The quizzes relate exactly to the lectures and homework. He helps answer questions from the homework and spends a whole day of class reviewing before the midterm and the final. Very helpful! Would very much recommend!
