Reviews of professor Darrell Kaminski

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
By no means a great professor, but many people dont attend class and then complain about doing poorly. As stated earlier, exams are poorly worded, however each exam (midterm and final) only accounts for 15% of the grade each. Attend class, do the homeworks well and study for quizzes and youll do fine.

Midterm was light af. Final was absolutely disgusting. Quizzes were poorly worded. Homework was graded based on a rubric and if you missed anything, then say good bye to your grade.

Darrell is is completely out there to fail his students, whether it is giving impossibly worded quizzes/exams, or difficult to understand paper assignments. My advice is that don't submit his assignments late as he does not accept late submission under any circumstances and will give you zero for late submission even it is a millisecond late.

What a loser...He try to fail us on quizzes and exams to the point where department made him make the final exams much easier, so everyone can pass. This is the only class besides steel that I had A- on. Had A on every single classes in UB, but this one and Steel are gpa bummer.

This class is not even that difficult, it's bare minimum. Some changes that needs to be made to ensure everyone have fair learning experience : (1) the two final exams should be replaced with two individual projects (2) group projects are fine but should be graded separately (3) having hw & quizzes are fine as it prepares for FE portions of ethics.

Darrell is not a bad professor. He improve the course format significantly ever since he notice the course average in fall 2021 was significantly worst. I was in the beginning worried his midterm/exam gonna be horrendous, but they ended up being a lot easier than expected.

This guy has to be the worst professor ever, his ego is way too big and makes an simple class so difficult. On his final he said he wouldn't include something and included it, he's impossible to work with. Don't know any single student who likes him. unreasonable how the final exam grades were around 50%. This is lower than physics 2.
