Comment:

Kibbles is the man. He does make you do a lot of homework, which is extremely taxing, but is also really clear in lecture. If you wake up each day at 8:30 to listen to him talk, you should be fine.

Comment:

Calculus III is hard - the material. But Mark makes it easier to understand the information by drawing and showing proofs (he is great at drawing 3-D graphs, by the way). His homework is always complex and makes you think really hard (applying). Usually takes me atleast 2 hours to complete his daily homework. But great teacher!

Comment:

Pretty cool and funny teacher. He's hyper and silly even in class. But the workload is quite a lot to handle. Also a very hard course with homework everyday, about 3/4 projects during the semester. Take-home tests (which are hard!) The manual he sends out during the first week is NOT helpful at all. He isn't that helpful either.Maybe that's just me

McKibben is the man! Though I think he is a little too smart. Sometimes I have trouble following his thought process which is lightning fast so us slower beings tend to get lost on the first try.

Comment:

Nice man, but the material was just too hard. He was such a mathematical genius that he couldn't find a way to teach it to idiots like me who only took it for requirements. Recommend Basic Math for those who can't do math real good.

Comment:

Mark is a great teacher. He spells all the material out with crystal clarity and can answer any question. That being said, he's so brilliant that it was really hard for those of us that are only so good at Calc to keep up and understand the material. Calc II wasn't like a normal Calc course, it was intense. I spent a lot of time prepping for exams.

Comment:

Holy Cow! This class was insane. But I recommend Godel, Escher, Bach Frontiers because it's an incredibly interesting class -- probably only because Mr. McKibben teaches it. Works really hard to help us understand everything. Great comments -- makes you want to do well in his class.

What can I say? He's great. I'll take any course he's teaching simply because he rules so much as a professor.

Comment:

Mark gets pretty excited over Calc its funny. He does a really good job of staying upbeat and energetic even when my class was dead tired and I was nursing a hangover. The courseload is challenging but he helps you if you ask for it.
