Reviews of professor Kenneth Gayley

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The tests are very difficult, class average was usually around 50% if that. No one had any idea what their grade was all semester until they were posted after the final.

Literally one of the worst professors I've ever had. There is no visual aid, he contradicts himself multiple times in a lecture and then says "Oops, I messed up... That is part of learning .. (continues to give 10 minutes on why it's ok to mess up)" but NEVER CORRECTS HIMSELF so students are left without knowing how to actually do the problem...

Kenneth is a very easy going professor. He knows what he is teaching and is fairly effective in teaching it. This physics was calculus based so if you do not feel comfortable with calculus I would not take this course. This course has a textbook but you are not required to use it for anything, I would recommend using it though to help you learn.

I am a hardworking student that never missed lecture and went to office hours, but this class was something of a different breed. I did tons of practice problems and still found exams to be gibberish. I did better on exams I didn't study for. The class is an easy B, but you better brush up on your guessing skills. Exam averages were around 50%.

He's very easy going & it's pretty clear he's more of an astronomer than a teacher, but he's really nice and willing to help if you come to office hours. I recommend reading the book to prepare for the tests because that will help more than the lectures, although lectures point out major topics you should know. Tests are hard but curved A LOT.

Admitted there were two correct answers for an exam question, but refused to give credit to the half of the class that gave the answer he wasn't expecting. All he gave us was, "Both of these are right, but what does the first one tell me about what you know... You have to get into the mind of the tester." Get into the mind of Kenneth Gayley.

Physics was horrible and he did not have any written out slides all he did was write on a chalk board. also he gave us no equation sheet and had to memorize 2 dozen equations for the final.

Probably the worst prof i have ever taken, no presentation, no slides shows, all chalkboard and the discussion does not learn the same materials as the lecture and the exam.
Giving us difficult questions in exam and expect us to know it, class is curved ( not so much).
This class is the reason i lost interested in spaces.
