KevCavKiddyCalc, thats what Aplus calls this class. He was super chill, and tests were super easy. Homework was optional. Easy A considering its a "calculus for Busines" course.

Had him for 151 a year and a half ago and he was the man. Used a crappy book (Geveci's), which u should burn afterwards if he's still using it. Great lecturer. Knows what he's talking aout and does an excellent job of preparing you for his tests. Also, funny as hell, and our TA looked like Andy Richter

Comment:
its a really easy class and he is a lax teacher. he doesnt really care if you get a book because hw is optional. you dont necessarily have to attend. he only grades on tests. my class, math 118, was easy material so i never went and still got a good grade! he's a cool guy! the only thing i would say is that he is not the most dedicated teacher!

Comment:
Easily the best calc 151 teacher. I failed his class, then retook it again with him because I knew I was a dumbass. Anyone who expects to learn everything in class is retarded, you have to practice a lot outside of class. Ultimately he does not try to trick you on tests and the final, so the tests are very fair. Study a lot and get A.

Comment:
Cavanaugh is a good teacher but good teach a little more. Often class would only run 15 minutes. Not all that bad but he could have given more examples. The class is test based. There are 5 and he drops your lowest grade so really a total of 4. They are pretty easy. Just don't slack off and you will get an A or A- guranteed.

I love this crazy man. He just is cuckoo but he doesn't care. He enjoys teaching and likes students, even if he jokes around with them a lot. He's a good teacher even though I hate math. Even someone inept such as me could get a B. Take him if you're hesitant!! He's great.

HOLY FRIJOLES! Kevin Cavanaugh's kiddie Calculus is easy, if you are a business major and know nothing about math but need a BS math course to fulfill your GEs take Cavanaugh, he's down to earth, he's smart, he teaches well, only bad part is his $h*t head of a TA grades his tests (but you can always get them regraded by Cav for about 6 more pts)

I took him because of the ratings and was disappointed! Cavanaugh is funny and really smart. He goes really fast, no one asked questions and a LOT of people were failing tests.Assigns HW for practice & 4 tests, drops lowest score.REALLY hard for me, I'm an A-B student & barely passed.Take with someone else or go to A+review to do well.Good Luck!!

Cavanaugh is a pretty legit professor. He assigns homework that's not mandatory. There's 3 exams plus a final. The lowest exam is dropped and then to pass the class you really just need to pass the final. Go to lectures and pay attention and you'll do fine. Classes almost always get out early. Take him if you can.

The best math to take for ge. He takes the best four out of five tests. The homework is just for practice. He writes out the notes on the board. The class usually only lasts a half an hour, if that.

Comment:
I took this professor in the summer. It went a little bit quick in the 13 week section. Heres the grading: 77% for 3 exams but one dropped and there's is a cumulative final which is 33%. He also grades based on a curve.He doesn't collect HW but I don't see any problems from the ANTON textbook on tests. What a nightmare!

Probably one of the very few best calculus teachers on campus. (was lucky he taught it). He's a very funny guy. Easily understandable. He issues out practice problems to help you and will go over them the next day. You don't even need Geveci's book. Just attend his class and take notes.

Attendance not mandatory, especially if you're decent at math. Got a solid A despite that I didn't go to class regularly. And when I did go to class, it was only because he's entertaining. Drops lowest test score out of 5 tests (i.e. Pass the first 4 tests, skip out on the last). Class almost always ends early. I recommend.

So chill. He really helps you out if you need it. Clear about what he wants. He assigns homework but tells you he is not grading it so you have to score well on the tests even though he drops the lowest. But he is very good and so helpful and nice. He is pretty funny too. Book is mandatory if you do not make it to class and class always ends early.
