Comment:

Professor Kash is wonderful to learn from! You have to pay attention in lecture and lab 100%. He provides slides for each unit, but also does work on the board to help explain everything so you understand better. He can be intimidating but if you put in the work and ask for help when needed, you will have no issues. Ignore the negative reviews!

Comment:

Professor Kash is one of my favorite science professors hands down. He can come off rude/blunt sometimes, but he is always willing to answer any questions that you have. He is very knowledgeable and teaches in a way that allows you to retain the information. Study EVERYTHING he tells you and you will do just fine.

Comment:

First, he does NOT give homework. He cares more about his pass average than the students themselves, and he will tell you that! He loves to throw in material (AP2 stuff) that he will tell you will NOT be on the exam, but he wants you to know it anyways. He is not approachable, expects students to excel for his sake, and not a professor I recommend.

Comment:

I believe homework is a strong study key, and a good grade boost when exams arent your strong suite. However, there is no such thing as homework in this class. Nor is there a helpful professor to talk to you about your grade, or what you can do to be better. I have busted my butt in his class ): Have to be an A+ tester.

solid choice for ap 1 and 2 considering the other options. if you know the powerpoints you'll be fine. the final in both classes are very easy, very basic questions. dont let him scare you about the final. if you stay for lab and ask questions he'll like you. but beware he is intimidating, especially during lecture!

He is an acquired taste, but the analogies and numerous examples are so helpful. He is genuinely passionate about his students doing well, but only if you put in the effort.

Kash is a wonderful professor. He can kind of be on the abrasive side when asking questions but most of his lectures leave no room for questions. 10/10 would recommend this professor to anyone taking A&P in the future

Comment:

Prof. Kash wants all of his students to pass; that being said, make sure to attend every lecture/lab. Recording his lectures is encouraged and helpful because he will occasionally talk about something that will be on the exam and not in the power points. No reason someone shouldn't succeed. He gives you all the tools you need to do well.

Comment:

Kash was a solid choice for A&P 1. He is intimidating but a good professor. he is very clear during lecture. you must go to lecture in order to pass. he will not be happy if you skip. his board work helps explain everything. he also offers extra credit seminars. def recommend out of all the options for A&P 1 especially if you are nursing/heath.

Comment:

Tough class, but he knows his stuff and teaches it well, which can also cause him to sound rude. He doesnt like to repeat himself. Doesnt appreciate you skipping class. He genuinely cares about his students and their future in professional school. Long lecture exams but tests are not tricky. Lab exams are fill in the blank. All in all, good prof.

Prof. Kash is like out of this world. His lectures are just amazing, he explains everything so well with clear examples. All the lecture exams are MCQS and expect to see 100-200 questions on each lecture exam. Lab is easy if you spend enough time on it. If you care to study + go to class regularly then this class should't be a big hassle for you.

Comment:

I took Kash for AP2 in Spring 2018. If you study the PowerPoint and pay attention during lecture you will pass his exams easy. Getting ahold of him outside of class was a hassle and whenever questions were asked he would be very hateful and condescending towards the person who asked. Decent teacher but not deserving of the high rating he has.

Took Professor Kash in spring of 2018, he test are multiple choice, and based on his power points. Also check your moodle frequently, because he adds PowerPoints always at last minute to assist in lab and test. All test are taken in the classroom.

Im about halfway in with Kash. I had taken this course with another professor and dropped because he was awful. As long as you listen in class and follow the PowerPoints, you are going to pass and the lecture tests will be a breeze. He also providws PowerPoints for lab, as well. You have chances to earn extra credit Hes intimidating, but great!

Kash is known to be hard but a subject this important shouldn't be light, he has his quarks and can be a bit snobby but this man know what he is talking about and forces you to learn.

I had Kash this summer and he's an awesome professor. He's strict on grading, but it's only for the best for preparing to you. I wish I would've taken him for A&P 1. He knows his stuff and his analogies are great. He made my summer experience great and I do not regret it!

Mr. Kash is a wonderful teacher. He really knows his stuff and will explain things very thoroughly. He is very tough. Get ready to study! His lecture and lab power points give you everything you need to know for the exams. Put in the effort and study hard and you will do just fine. I would highly recommend him to anyone taking A&PI and A&PII.

Professor Kash is a wonderful professor. He puts together great power points for every chapter and makes them available to print off. Attendance is absolutely mandatory for lecture and lab. Book was used occasionally, but his power points are key. He's also on the board of nursing, so he relates majority of the stuff for nursing students.
