Reviews of professor Kyle Claassen

This was... not good.

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Claassen had a good amount of homework, but it wasn't worth a ton of points and took pretty average time for a math class. I know people who struggled a lot with the homework, but he's a really good teacher so it's pretty doable. If you want to really learn a topic, Claassen is a good prof.

Dr. Claassen's lectures were very engaging and informative. The homework load was fairly heavy, but it definitely reinforced the material well. Also, collaboration was allowed and he was incredibly helpful in office hours. There were frequent quizzes and tests but they were very reasonable.

The time and care he puts into this class is phenomenal! He gives a written homework weekly adjusted for what was discussed in class. He has visual models of lots of DEs ready to go, including personal projects he has done just to make the class more engaging and fun. He clearly knows his stuff and blends the application with theory very nicely.

Incredible lecturer. Honestly probably one of the best math professors here, and I 100% recommend him. However, be warned - he is an incredibly strict grader and assigns a lot of work, so don't fall behind. Nonetheless, it is clear he truly cares about teaching and wants to see you succeed, and will absolutely teach you well

His lecture is so quick that if you don't prepare before class, you need to take effort to catch up. He assigns A LOT OF hw. I spent most of my studying time finishing his hw, which indirectly affect my grades in other classes. Ironically, I drop his course in the end, which means what I have done was nothing. Thanks Claassen for ruining my quarter

I believe it has been the darkest day for Rose-Hulman in its nearly 150 yrs history when having Kyle Claassen as a math prof, no cap. He gives you incredible amounts of hw every single day and every single weekend. He seems accessible outside of classroom, but he actually seems doesn't willing to help if you find him. He HATES silly questions.

Great lectures and honestly just an amazing guy. Very clearly knows his stuff and tests are fair. Unfortunately, I'm a bit dumb, so his exams had me feeling a bit like I should off myself, but it you have good study habits in place you should be okay!

Dr. Claassen genuinely likes math and he has enthusiasm. He includes examples in his lectures and tests are hard but not unfair. However, he doesn't like 'dumb' questions. The WebWorks are very similar to the lecture examples, but the written homework is hard. He requires you to have an understanding of the material instead of memorizing equations.
