BEST Calculus prof. ever!!! He made me feel comfortable in one of the hardest math classes at OU, and I got an A. Not easy, but very understandable. Do homework problems and you're ready for the exam. Looking forward to Calc D with him!

Comment:

Dr. Kaufdaddy is a really nice guy. Class is very easy. Not the best if you want to learn a lot, but if you're like me and just need to get it out of the way, he's very good. He is helpful and lets you know what is going to be on the exams. You'll get bonus if you go to class on Friday. Good guy.

Comment:

There is no textbook. all you do is go to class listen, write the theorems he wants you to prove and the ones he does. turn in at least 1/2 the theorems and you have an A. exams are a joke if you go to class

Great teacher. Knows what he is talking about and tries hard to keep your attention. He is very approachable and is always willing to help. If you do good on the exams throughout the quarter, the final is pretty much a non-factor, the way it should be.

Funny guy, not well organized and tends to repeat things but does wonderful demonstrations of whats on exams (esp. the day before). Work hard for the first week and you'll get in his mindset. The rest of the quarter was easy pickings.

Best math prof I've had so far. Understands 263C is hard and doesn't think your grade should suffer from that. Highly recommended.

I thought that this class was one of the easiest classes in math that i have ever taken. He practically gives you the test as a study guide. I would recommend taking him for any math class cuz i heard he is the same in all the others that he teaches.

Comment:

He was awesome.Keeps your attention by interjecting funny stories every once in awhile. He realizes how boring the subject can be and tries to make it fun.Tells real world examples, and gives u partial credit if you mess up but show ur work. He's not weird at all!! You can get away with skipping maybe once a week but that's it!I highly reccommend!

I only said he was unclear and unhelpful because this professor is not worthy of a smiley face. Friendly, yes. Organized, no. I didn't learn anything. Math majors and physicist, stay away, don't screw yourself over. Take Keck.

Comment:

His class was a joke. There were no serious class talks about serious math topics. I heard more about his political standings and economic opinions than i did about the topic. I did nothing and aced the class and i'm not prepared for grad school with this topic now....

Take him if you want an easy A, and if you only have to take one math class. Don't take him if you actually expect to learn something.You'll suffer in higher level classes.Didn't learn a thing in his class.

Um, excuse me? Did anyone attend any of his classes??? Yeah, he was super easy but I learned NOTHING. As a math major, I'm suffering in my other classes because I learned nothing from him. He's a very confused man. If you're a math maj

Great professor! Knows everything there is to know about the math field. Gives out a review sheet a few days before each test that is basically the test but with different numbers. If you can take him...DO!

Took about 5 classes with Dr. Kauffman in 1993 - 1996. I became a Math teacher since then. Wonderful man and a wonderful teacher. I thank you Dr. Kauffman.
