Comment:

Kirker does all "coursework" in class except MyMathLab. That is expected to be done on your own. Lectures are kind of fast-paced, but he will slow down if someone speaks up. He is funny and sarcastic, so class is not miserable. He does not expect anyone to show up to class, as long as they do well on the exams. Provides extra help as needed.

Professor Kranz is super understanding and acknowledges that we have other classes so there is no course work. Tests are the only in-class work graded but MYMATHLAB COUNTS! Do the online work and know your material and you'll do fine! Great professor!

Comment:

Teaches by what he is given so he can't give extra credit. He does give you half credit on tests for just attempting the question even if its wrong. He also has quizzes but as long as you attempt it you get the credit for it. Talks fast and sometimes the class is confusing. Have to do a lot of online homework. Good professor and very helpful!

Comment:

For an older Professor he's pretty real with you and he's extremely sassy and sarcastic which is awesome. He goes pretty fast in his lectures, which is a little frustrating but you can always approach him for help. He wants you to pass as much as you want to pass. I would totally take him again.

He has gone out of his way to assist students in passing. If you do not ask him to slow down, he will move extremely fast!!! First time using MYMATHLAB.

tries hard to get you a good grade w/ TONS of extra credit on tests. no homework. just turn in chapter reviews for 10 points each. you can literally write the answers as he says them in class and hand it in after class. if you miss class you can hand in late w/ no penalty.CON: goes very fast. doesnt explain well. not a great teacher but nice guy.

Comment:

He's an interesting man. Nerdy, but funny, sorta. He is more than happy to explain things over and over. And I really appreciate how he shows you different ways to do something, so if you have a hard time understanding one way, anothr might be better for you. But he tends to ramble and lose track of himself.

He is avery nice guy. I don't understand anything from him though.....he explains very very very fast. You don't have to go to class. It's an easy class and no homework so stay at home and study from the textbook and you will get an A.

Comment:

Amazing teacher. I'm really terrible at math but he was willing to help out. He made sure that I didn't just get what the formulas were, but why and what I was doing. He had lots of energy for that late. To the person below, 082 is set by the department, he cant add extra credit. He gives 100% just for doing the quizzes with unlimited makeups.
