Reviews of professor Kym Pram

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
The material was tough for me to understand but I still expect to pass with a high B or low A. One semester-long project that was pretty easy and worth a large part of the grade. Tests were difficult and required a lot of studying. His explanations were a little shaky early on but he got really good at explaining the math. Willing to work with you.

Prof Pram struggles with constant miscalculations and he reads off the slides. Class was never helpful besides the review day. He did get better with explaining math by the end of the semester and was always willing to try to explain things if you went to his office hours or emailed him.

Wow he just genuinely has no idea how to teach a math class.  Be prepared to know things he never taught, like formulas math problems and graphs.  He then puts an essay question on each exam where you have to read an article outside of class and answer the question on the exam like you had just read the article?  Very dumb class a waist of time.

This course is a mess. Powerpoint lectures every class with no clear explanation on topics. Not enough examples & expects you to know material he does not cover. There are 3 exams & one 10-page group project. Hw's weekly. No study guides. Exams are hard & different from homeworks & lectures. Curves a whole letter grade at the end. Many ppl dropped

Professor Pram seems to be knowledgeable about what he is teaching, the class was pretty hard and that is to be expected. You really got to work for that grade because it's not a gimme. I did have my complaints about him, his lectures were a little confusing and I felt lost when it came to the exams. His exams are all memory, so no note card.

Terrible teacher. If you like teaching yourself, then you will have a blast. Going to class does not help. He does not explain how he gets to his conclusions, isn't clear and seems like he doesn't care if the students understand or not. If you like being confused, frustrated, and feeling like you want to put your head through a wall then take Pram.

Weekly homework with questions very similar to those covered in class. Very clear on grading and partial points are given. Study guides are provided for each test and are very similar to the exams. He's a good professor who cares about what he's teaching and wants to see you succeed. Use both the lecture notes and the book.

The amount of mistakes Pram makes during his lectures is comical. He confuses himself and often doesn't complete an example. He did not grade the final project until after the final, so good luck trying to estimate your grade before the last day of classes. The final project is a lot of research because he doesn't teach you how to do what he wants.
