I like Pro. King. I can easily follow him by the notes on the blackboard.He did check homework.If you finished the homework, don't worry about the quiz!

sweet guy. class was really easy and i had never taken calc before. he gives you a template of all the quizzes and exams ahead of time in the review packet. same types of questions just different numbers. his explanations aren't that good, he takes it more in depth than it needs to be. never checked homework. dont bother buying a text book

Okay professor. Doesn't check homework and the quizzes are just like the practice quizzes. Midterm easier than the quizzes. Sometimes doesn't explain things well, but overall a decent teacher. Group project is an easy A. Go to class, he takes attendance and calls on people.

Comment:
I had D. King for calc for business/economics. He's got a PHD from MIT so you know he's smart, but he is NOT a good teacher. You definitely want to know a little bit of calc before you take this class. If you do, just do the review sheets before the quiz and you'll be set. I never did homework and still got an A

Take my word for it - I never took calc before this course and I aced every quiz and test. D. King does a good job and is always available for extra help. Sometimes he can be a bit confusing but it always clicked before the quiz. The quizzes are almost always exactly the same as the practice quizzes in the class packet.

He means well, but seems confused most of the time. He'll spend about a half hour overexplaining simple concepts then just jumps through the difficult ones. An unreasonable grader too.

Comment:
Took calc in high school so it was interesting to see his confusing way of teaching. Smart guy, but has trouble relaying that information to his students. really picky about labeling, i got a B grade on a quiz in which i didn't get a question wrong.Takes off points for everything. on the plus side the quizzes and project are simple and not tricky.

Comment:
Not as bad as people make him seem! He speaks English well and he grades fairly. He gives examples for all quizzes and tests and has plenty of examples. Homework isn't necessarily important but he checked in the beginning. He also has one semester long project. This class was better than all of my friends' calc classes and I never took it before.

Comment:
He is a very nice person, but simply cannot teach. He certainly knows his stuff, but has a very hard time relating to the student, providing examples, and answering questions. The quizzes and tests are the exact same thing in the packet only with the numbers changed. If you have taken calculus before, this class will be a breeze! if not, good luck!

Comment:
The class was totally pointless and he's an awful teacher. I feel bad for him because he gets up in front of the class and has no idea what he's talking about. He can't answer questions, he just makes people more confused. Quizzes and tests are pretty easy though if you can learn the material from the reading and homework.

Nice guy, but horrible professor. He means well, but is very unclear and disorganized. Goes incredibly fast and doesn't explain well. If you've recently taken calc and don't need to be taught, then it's an easy A; otherwise go with another professor.

Oh, DK. He's not the best professor, actually, he's very disorganized, and seems confused most of the time. He tries, but eh, it just doesn't really cut it. If you've had calc before, you'll be good to go. Study the quiz reviews and you'll be fine on every quiz. Project is pretty easy, too.

One of the worst teachers I've ever had. Goes really fast, flies through material with no flow. No consistency and seems unsure of his work. Really not interested in helping students outside of the classroom. Obsessed with his calculator? I feel bad for anyone who hasn't had calculus before.

Such an easy class if you have had calc before!!! Took it last fall(05). EASY A. All you have to do is know how to do the problems on the "practice quizzes" and a lot of the quiz questions will be the same question with different numbers. And do the little project he has you do. That's it. Easy!
