I like this teacher, he class was so relax and he focus on homework and attendance, if you usually didn't come his class and didn't do homework , of course , you wound not pass. he class so detail , and if you have any homework question , you can come to his office , and ask him. you don't need go to touring center.

Do not take this teacher. You will have to teach yourself everything. And no, it's not because I'm a lazy student. His teaching skills need a lot of work.

Comment:

He talks the ENTIRE time, doesn't give us any practice problems to work on in class. When there's a test, he doesn't do a review INSTEAD he continues to teach us new material that won't even be on the test. Also, he gives homework (30 problems) every class and never goes over it with us. MyMathLab is teaching me more than this guy. Not worth it!

A really great professor. Very helpful feedback and allows you to stay after class if you have any questions. Attendance may not be mandatory but if you fail to attend you definitely will not pass. Be prepared for a new assignment a couple minutes after the lecture, the only exception being if he doesnt finish. Dont let your assignments pile up.

Comment:

Hes a terrible teacher. When learning about limits and differential equation he spends the whole time on the history of how it came to be, and theory, then expects you to know how to apply it. I dropped his class and took it with Wolf at KCC and it was way easier to understand. No practice problems. Arrogant teacher, expects you to be at his level

Comment:

His lectures can beboring if you already understand the materials (but Attendance is not mandatory, so). However, if you are weak at math and need step by step guides, then he is perfect as he explains things in great details. He replies email pretty fast, but it is better if you stay after class and ask him questions, he will answer immediately.

His class is boring and not very instructive. You probably could do everything at home and not show up. Also likes to talk about other things and is off track from math alot.

Comment:

Very lecture heavy. Informative lectures, but tone of voice makes it hard to concentrate and seem interested in material. Zooms through material without thorough explanation, causing you to blank out on homework. Learned better on my own and went to class just for attendance points. Tests are online and big part of grade.

Comment:

Professor K was great. I'm more into math so I found it bearable to sit and listen to his lecture for two hours. Even if you don't like math, he makes it easy to learn. If you have any questions he's always ready to answer and fix any problems you are having. His examples are clear. If you enjoy math, he's the way to go. Always study.

This class is for people who already know the material... if you are trying to learn, motivation does not matter. You will fail despite great efforts. I had only two people see it through out of twenty. Unless you were already a genius you will fail. Straight A's from the past don't matter at all.

If you are good in math you will not have any problems. But if you don't than you will have a hard time learning it. Never got practice problems during class and it's only online homework and exams. Avoid if you can.

Comment:

Not a bad person, but certainly not a good instructor. For a 4 cr calculus class, he spends far too much time on the people and history of calculus and not enough time on applicable examples. Personally not a fan of his power point lectures. Will help outside of class. Lots of off topic rabbit trails and not enough focus on the math we're learning

Great teacher. Best math teacher I had in all my life. Makes things very clear and easy to understand. He also brings the math into our daily lives where we can understand it and see how it relates to current events. Really thankful to this teacher. Like any class you need to show up, pay attention and do your work!! Thanks Prof Kaczmarski!

Comment:

He explains the mathematics clearly and tests you on exactly what he teaches. He uploads his power points online which is extremely helpful to review and understand the concepts. Gives homework online which is good practice but you need to understand the concepts of what you're doing to get an A, so study the power points! Overall, recommended.

Professor Kaczmarski is a very clear cut teacher. I have to say what I love most about his teaching ethic is the fact that he he really takes the time to teach you each chapter step by step, it really helps! Not only that but he increases each test score you receive by 10% on every test! All the study guides are very helpful for each exam as well.

I really enjoyed the class. I like the energy he brought to the subject. I've taken math courses at pricey private schools that paled in comparison, seriously. I realize it's not easy making a math class dynamic with just an overhead projector, a blackboard and chalk, but he is able to keep people's attention, and educate well.

Comment:

This teacher was incredibly boring. Whenever I emailed him concerning a problem, he never returned my emails. When students did not know how to do the math, he treated them like they were stupid. He did not care about students. When the semester started, the class had about 50 people. When the semester ended, there were 9 people left.

Love the way he teaches. Not only does he talks about Math, he also talks about History and stuff. Really cool guy. Hope to have him for the next level of Math.
