Hes a chill professor BUT he barely teaches anything most of the time my classmates and I were confused and we had to teach ourselves at home. Overall I barely learned anything and had a hard time passing quizzes

If you are familiar with Stats, or have a more "straight-up" learning style, this class is for you! Koines is hilarious, rarely ever assigns homework, and really tries to give you all the tools you need. Lots of review done in class. I found the class to be really enjoyable and looked forward to it weekly :)

Comment:

Let me start with the positive: hes funny and social. However, he is not a very good teacher. He got off topic too much and the class felt like a massive time sink that I paid for; I dont leave my house so that I can chat it up in a 3hr math class. Luckily Im smart, because Im bad at math and had to teach myself the material. Find another.

Comment:

I don't think his exams are that hard, they are not that long and problems are straight from the homework and review sheets. His lectures don't help. Gets distracted too easily, talks about politics or his life or his past students who cheated, and tries to talk to people who sit in the front. Always ended up rushing several lessons before exams.

Comment:

He is a nice and caring professor. I'm actually surprised that these people left horrible reviews about him. You can't expect to have an easy A without studying. You do need general math knowledge. One person mentioned test problems came straight from the book. It's correct just do all the hws and practice alot, you will pass. Be fair guys!

Horrible professor. The class seems easy at first but will change the difficulty of it midway. I will test you on concepts from a while ago. Lectures are usually three problems copied out of the book. He likes to talk about politics instead of math...

He is getting worse from the last class that I took from him, I do not recommend him to any of my friends. His test is so heavy, you should spend a lot of time to study for it. I miss the time he is nice to us :( He used to be my favorite professor but not anymore.

Comment:

Relied on books and YouTube. Does not stay on topic. Material covered doesnt translate to quizzes, which are really exams. Does not stay on schedule according to the syllabus. A exam avg, nearly failed Final because of a weeks notice of material on it, after taking two exams (3 in a months span). If you NEED to know this stuff, dont take him.

Comment:

Gave class a weeks notice for exam 11.1-11.4. Didn't say what would be on the final until one week prior (cumulative). Covered 11.10 in 1.5 hrs one week before final. Crunched 3 exams in last 4 weeks. Inconsistent grading. Misleading exam reviews if given. Unable to assist with challenging examples. Inappropriate comments to female student.

Talk too much nonsense. Did not focus on the problem. This guy goes off topic. Imagine sitting in the class not learning and listening to bull crap. Take another class. Youre better off with another good dedicated instructor.

Took his class during intercession, He goes over many examples and reviews before quizzes/tests. Very nice guy, if he goes on a tangent just make him aware of it. Hope to take him for Calc 2

He is not a good professor and really chill in class. He is always talking about random stuff in class but not really focus on the lesson. You should study really hard to pass his class.

Comment:

Professor Koines is awesome. Every day of Intersession I was laughing but still learning. He's very clear about grading and he gives hw and test reviews that prepare you to do well on each test. Very fair, wish I could take more of his classes. He's cool too because he tries to break up the monotony of learning with funny discussion topics.
