Reviews of professor Robert Kipka

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Kipka is a good person, no doubt. But if you are a visual learner and need the professor to do example problems first, I wouldn't recommend him. I'm struggling in his class because I'm a visual and hands on learner. Also doesn't give the best help when you ask for it. I've learned better from reading the book than I have from him.

Hands down best prof Lake State has. He is so friendly and helpful and explains everything very well. He has you practice in class too to make sure you can ask questions in the moment. I had him for one class two semesters ago (I'm not a math major) and he still knows my name, says hi anytime I run into him on campus. Take his classes if you can

Kipka is the only reason why I passed Calc II. He grabbed my intention to drop and sent it to the depths of hell. With niceness

Was not good for intermediate algebra. Probably good for higher level classes.

Hands down, the BEST math professor I have ever had. I didn't walk away from this class with rote memorization, instead a real sense of understanding was instilled. Solving problems wasn't recalling formulas, it was applying ideas I had learned. I might skim the course catalog and take a math class for fun... wait... did I just say that?

As a student who failed algebra in high school, Professor Kipka made math so much easier. He gave the option to retake tests and quizzes, and gave good feedback for when questions were wrong. I did study a lot for this class, but I was able to achieve an A for the first time ever in Algebra.

I came into the class with no previous exposure to calculus. The passion Dr. Kipka had for his work and the devotion he is willing to give to his students is very inspiring to me. More importantly he was able to convey a thorough understanding of calculus 1 to me. Pay attention in class and do the recommended homework and you'll do great.

As someone who struggled with math, Dr.Kipka was an amazing professor. I could email him anytime and could expect a response soon. He is kind and genuinely cares about his students. During office hours he took the time and used different strategies to explain the material to me.

I was a math major so I took many classes with him. Best math professor I've ever had and maybe ever will have. He's not an easy grader, but that's because he knows that you can do better and is always there to answer questions and clarify concepts. Take him if at all possible. Even if you don't like math, he's a good teacher.

He is such a nice guy! As someone who struggles in math, his class wasnt very challenging. Hes always there to help and tests are clearly related to the subject. Do the homework and practice questions before tests!! It helps immensely.
