Reviews of professor Joseph Kalman

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This man is the best professor I've had.. Although he's had to reschedule his office hours due to meetings, he's always made sure to keep us posted on his updated schedule. Even after classes had to transition online, he was ready and able to make it work with clear communication to his students. I'm always happy when he remembers my name in class.

Dr. Kalman is a decent professor. His writes a lot of example problems on the board and involves the class to help participate which helps a lot. His exams are challenging, having conceptual and calculations on various concepts. Allows a one-page cheat sheet with formulas in exams. He's willing to help you out during office hours. Good professor.

Professor Kalman honestly made a difficult course easy to understand. He is respectful to students with any type of questions during lecture and his tolerance for patience is far great. His exams are mostly based on conceptual and theoretical problems with little calculations. Also, he grades a bit harsh on exams and he makes you use pink calcs.

Always looked forward to his lectures coming to class. It's important to pay close attention to each conceptual thing taught; it's going to play a big role in the 2nd exam and final. The 1st exam is mostly calculations, so do well on this to make up for the other two. 98% 1st exam, 74.5% 2nd exam, 45% final, and got a B from a heavy curve.

I really enjoyed Kalman's class. He gives lots of examples and wants everyone to understand the material. The tests are heavily conceptual with 2-3 number problems. He is a tough grader but curves at the end. He really works on being available and helping students understand the concepts. It's a tough class but you will learn the material well.

Don't take him unless it is only choice. Tough grader, not organize. He will take 20% your point off if you forget handle in Table and Cheat sheet. Two exams and a final seems very hard. He did curve but average class scores always around 40% to 60%.
