Reviews of professor Kyle Claassen

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
His lectures are always interesting, and he explains the topics clearly. He makes sure students understand the concepts so that they don't have to memorize formulas, and they can apply what they've learned to new problems. There is a short homework assignment every night and a written homework every week. The homework prepares you well for tests.

Taught the content very well. The webworks weren't a problem but the weekly written homeworks were challenging. Make sure to pay attention to the examples he goes over in class. Definitely take a look at the problems before the due date so you can ask Claassen questions, go to the learning center, or ask peers for help!

Dr. Claassen is very good at explaining concepts clearly. There was written homework once a week and WeBWorK almost every night, but it was all helpful and didn't seem like busy work. The homework prepares you well for the exams. There was a fun project where we created the Gateway Arch using parametric surfaces in Minetest.

The other ratings on here are misleading, he is not a great prof. He gives a Webwork everyday after class on top of a weekly written. He grades harshly on exams. His lectures are good but there were lots of times where we didn't learn what we needed for the hw until after it was due or right before the due date. Not terrible but not a first choice.

He is the GOAT.

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This prof is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to mathematics and his lectures are nothing short of entertaining, however, he grades with no remorse and assigns a good amount of homework. Weekly written homework takes hours, and his questions are always worded in such a way that you spend half the time trying to figure out what to determine.

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Lots of homework and a pretty strict grader; gives minimal partial credit no matter where it may be due. Granted, Dr. Claassen's a fairly good lecturer who goes over many examples; make sure you take notes and go to class, because the slides alone don't include answers to problems. Better feedback and clearer grading would've been nice.
