WORST STATISTICS PROFESSOR EVER. He will not allow to take his tests in disability center, laughed at me rather than help, names and teaches each topic differently, and grades you only on 3 tests. If you are not good at math AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Comment:

Great professor. He went over topics several times until everyone understood how to do the problems. There were 3 tests. The first test wasn't that bad and he rounded the grades up. On the midterm you're allowed 1 sheet of paper front and back with notes. For the final you're allowed two sheets of paper front and back with notes.

Comment:

He is horrible. He doesn't use a textbook and teaches completely different then anyone else. I asked him for help me laughed and when i went to get help they had no clue what the topics were. Not to mention i asked him what are the main topics i need to know for the test and he gave all the wrong topics. He cost me my scholarship AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Comment:

Easiest class ever. You don't have to be good at math to get an A. He explains everything with real life scenarios instead of with crazy math terms so it's easy to understand. Goes over everything clearly and slowly and always answers questions. Only had three tests, two of them he allows you to use a cheat sheet. Show up and you'll pass.

Comment:

I don't consider math to be one of my core strengths, but professor Kahn laid out the material in such a clear and thoughtful manner that made it nearly impossible for me to not grasp the material. He doesn't use a textbook, so your grade ultimately depends on your attentiveness and the details of your notes. If you get the chance, take his class.

Doesn't use a textbook, but it's better that he doesn't. tries to really make sure everyone understands material. uses relevant examples in problems. Can sometimes go over lecture time, definitely a talker. allows a cheat sheet for examsfinals. very straight forward class.

If you aren't strong at math like me then AVOID HIM!!!! He's not really good at explaining the information and he had no textbook, no office hours, also no syllabus. He wouldn't let me take the exam in the testing center.

3 Tests, The last two your allowed to bring a 8 x 11 sheet of paper. Attendance isn't mandatory but You want to come to class. Doesn't check HW but you should do it as it helps. Just come to class, take notes, do the HW and you'll get a good grade. I got an A and I'm horrible at Math. This guy will tell you what's on the test so there is no excuse
