Can't miss class more than three times before he starts taking points off. The homework is always more in detail than class examples and way harder. Tough grader. Very nice guy though.

Comment:

I had taken precalc in high school, so I thought I would be good and prepared for this class. I was wrong. He half-teaches you the material and expects you to be an expert on it by the end of one class. Pretty much just teaches straight out of the book. The homework is also way harder than what he teaches you.

Some of the topics were tough, but others went well. I liked him overall, because he answered every question and always seemed to be in a good mood.

Comment:

I don't think I have ever taken a harder class in my life. If you are good at math you might be able to get a C. If you know you are bad at math, do yourself a favor and take anyone else. He is a really nice guy but you never have any time to finish exams and they are the majority of your grade.

Comment:

He is the nicest professor who does care and will let you turn in late assignment, but hes tough. If you miss a quiz you can not retake it and if you miss an exam youll fail. He doesnt let you work with groups to learn better, just lecture and homework each class. I do believe that he isnt a bad professor, but his teaching isnt best for all.

Comment:

I came into this class confident, seeing as though I already took Precalc in high school, but this man is almost making me reconsider my major. He is not very thorough with his explanations. Also makes it hard when there are people i the class who like to shout out answers, because it makes Kilburn think everyone knows the answer. Avoid this guy.

Comment:

The best word that describes his style is: "Thorough". His tests contain EVERYTHING that was discussed in class, so to do well on the exams, you must know EVERYTHING. If there's ANYTHING you don't know or are unclear on going into an exam, then figure on missing points.. Awesome professor, but he might want to go teach at MIT or some ivy league.

Comment:

Horrible at teaching. He is not clear on what he teaches and is very fast paced. He does the problems on his calculator then doesn't explain how he got the answer. Nice guy but his teaching skills are horrible. Tests, quizzes, and homework's are different than what he goes over. Would not recommend taking his class

Tests and quizzes (or as he calls them "classwork") are necessarily hard. Only gives extra credit if everyone bombs a test.

Comment:

I've had many profs who were tough with grading and have done well. But Dr. Kilburn looks for the right ANSWER, doesn't give much credit for the right PROCESS. I saw students who earned high scores on quizzes by copying the right answers from past quizzes while providing a bullsh*t solution. Great teacher, but I prefer process based grading.

Comment:

The good: Is more than happy to answer questions in class, and he's a nice person in general The bad: Tests are really hard, and practice exams make them look easier than they are. A problem that was considered "extra credit" on the practice exam made it on the regular exam as an actual question

He is a really nice guy who is more than happy to take your question in class. His tests can be pretty difficult, so come prepared. Homework consists of groups of assignments due on the dates of tests and graded worksheets

Comment:

Dr. Kilburn is easily one of the best professors in the department. MATH211 is a relatively simply math course, but when I have questions about anything he is always eager to help. And another thing: when your professor apologizes for not grading your homework due to a death in the family you know you have a dedicated professor.

Dr. Killburn is an amazing human, but that's about it in terms of his class. He is very helpful and is there for you. He is open to helping you outside of class whenever you need it. His homework was online and helpful. His tests are incredibly hard. I think 3 people from my class actually passed, and they all previously took calc. Good luck

Very well structured course, great at covering material, leniant with tests and quizzes (i.e final grade replaces lowest test grade, if higher). Will work extensively with you if you need help or rescheduling a testexamquizetc. Consistent and time consuming homework, but not difficult and homework grade is rounded up to nearest 10%!

Comment:

Tests and quizzes worded in a way that you have never seen or heard of before. Homework is online and also includes stuff that was absolutely never ever covered in class and does not say if that stuff is on test or not. Nice guy, but not necessarily a good teacher. I am a math major too and hope to never have to take him again.

Comment:

Some people really struggled with this class but I've taken statistics before so it wasn't bad. Get the book, it helps out a lot when he isn't clear on what he means. The homework is online so you need to buy the WebAssign. Tests are pretty hard but you can definitely get a good grade if you try. Basically you have to actually work in this class
