Super understanding teacher and very kind and funny. He doesn't reply to emails all the time but he tries to get back to you as soon as he can. always willing to stay after class and help, would recomend!

I absolutely adore Kurz and already miss this class. Great guy who was extremely accommodating with a tough group. He gives multiple opportunities for extra credit and allows students to use notecards and calculators for tests- what more can you ask for?? I learned a lot, despite my math resistant brain. I hope the kids at Columbia treat him well.

He is a laid back/funny professor. His lectures were a bit scattered, but he is very helpful/approachable though if you ask him for help. Lots of online hw through my math lab. Also, lots of extra credit is offered and participation matters! There are weekly group exercises. The tests weren't too hard as long as you study and do practice problems.

Highly relatable prof who cares if you really know your stuff or not. Did lots of groupwork and often changed partners ~so every now and then u'd get sus partners that didn't participate as much ~before they dropped. As long as you stay on top of homework ~which there is a bit~ then you should at least pass. I finally found a math class I liked!

I took an accelerated math class this semester, the first half was 29 and the second was 89. Despite the fast pace, prof Kurz did a good job teaching the material. He genuinely loves math and enjoys making sure his students grasp the topic. He allowed a notecard and calculator during tests, extra credit for class participation, etc.. hes great!

I am taking a 7-week statistics course this summer with Kurz the class is not too difficult compared to others you can re-do homework assignments, earn extra credit through group projects, and use your lecture notes on the test

Funny Prof. a lot of mandatory online hw to pass the class/understand material. Bought book not used for hw. each class meeting is for points as he assigns a group to do a question don't miss it all adds up. Extra credit given. Reviews all exams,questions from hw/ group questions chooses hard ones. He helps out a lot. Notecards allowed. Study!

His lectures were okay, however, he was really helpful and always willing to help one on one. There is a lot of homework, but it isn't too bad. Lots of extra credit opportunities and his tests are pretty straightforward and he grades them fairly. Study/practice the online hw, examples problems he hands out and group exercises and you will do well.
