Reviews of professor James Kaihatu

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Great prof! Sometimes it seems like he is unhappy and he has a dry-sense of humor. Very friendly. Very very generous on partial credit. Gives out past tests for the two tests and they are very similar to the past tests. Labs can be difficult without a strong understanding of MATLAB and can sometimes take a very long time. Overall, would recommend!

Dr. Kaihatu is one of the best professors I've had. His fluids class is very clear and easy to understand if you attend lecture. It does have weekly in-class quizzes, but they made sure I was keeping up with material which made studying easier. I really liked the fact that he hand graded all quizzes/exams and handed them back with written feedback.

One of the best CVEN profs that I've had so far. Had him for 302 and now 311. He has a dry sense of humor that's pretty funny, but he can tend to be monotoned at times when lecturing making it hard to pay attention. He posts his full lecture notes online after every class though which are pretty helpful on the HW. He's the best choice for 311 imo.

This professor is a straight shooter for all the good reasons. He understands that his students have very active lives outside the lecture room and shows this by posting homework solutions right before class. His exams reviews are a godsend and although sometimes he can be course it still shows that he just wants us to learn the material.

Very very fair grader. Gives lots of partial credit. He looks unhappy all the time but he gives very good lectures and definitely isn't mean. Has a very funny sense of dry humor. If you can pick up on it, it makes his class that much more enjoyable. Definitely one of the best profs I've had.

Great professor, his lectures are clear and easy to understand which he uploads to canvas, but most people decided to skip this semester since it was an 8am. He can be funny at times which makes the class enjoyable. Provided homework solutions and python code evening before hw is due so you can check ur work. Gives old exams as practice.
