Reviews of professor Kevin Dettman

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He's nice but doesn't really teach. I went to a lot of tutoring sessions as well, but it barely helped. I would go and talk to him if you receive a grade you don't like. He gave me back some points.

Grades the test way too harsh and they are long. He is a nice person but will not do much to make you feel like you have a chance to pass. The whole class addressed their concern after the class average was in the teens and his response was that "he's not gonna fail everyone." Lectures like everyone already understands what he is teaching.

One of the hardest classes I feel that I've had to take. He is a nice person, but doesn't teach well at all. Explains the lectures like everyone in the class already has a degree in Math and moves super quick. If you skip class or zone out for even a second, you're bound to not pass that test. Also, the tests are extremely long, all written.

He was extremely diligent to reiterate concepts and answer any questions. He answers emails within the same day and was always more than willing to hang around class another minute to help you understand stuff. Granted, you do have to work frequently on all homework and the tests were pretty long, but overall, a solid Professor.

This is not a class you can just come in and do nothing. I honestly recommend learning some Calculus concepts before taking it here, because they make MAT140 the hardest thing ever. Has all the homework due the day before the unit test, nice review sessions, will help you if you need help, he is clear on most points, etc. Do the homework and study.

Hes nice, but probably one of the worst teachers and test graders out there. He teaches the content like the students have already passed the class once before. Choose another professor.

This class is the only C I'd ever gotten in my life, and I passed the class with a 70.02. Stay away from this guy. While he may be nice, he doesn't explain concepts well and just chugs along like you're supposed to know the information. Use mylabsplus to learn the material and watch khan academy vids. It's the only way I was able to pass the class.
