Comment:
His writing can be pretty hard to read at times. I suggest watching his lectures if in an online setting. From watching his lectures he often talks about his hate for tests and how he wants to be there for us during the pandemic, he cares a lot and adjusted his course to help. The content is very difficult but he is willing to help and thats nice.

His teaching style is hit or miss for students, but you can't deny that Dr. Kember knows his stuff. I personally loved his teaching (even his messy writing keeps me on my toes). He wants to teach you how to think critically. Take his classes seriously and you will come out the other side confident and prepared to continue in your career.

He is a horrendous DE professor. He was a fine TA for programming in C, but yikes that

Comment:
Dr. Kember is the real deal. He knows the subject material intimately and is constantly drawing connections between DE and the real world. With that being said, the course is very difficult; in particular, some of the assignments seemed a bit excessive. If you buy in to his methods and do the practice problems you will be fine, but if not...

Shows lots of DE and VEC applications (control system, circuitry, and fluid mechanics...) during the class which benefit for future learning. And class is not that hard

Teaching style is very memorization and procedure based which throws off some students. He writes very illegibly and gives difficult assignments.

An amazing professor to learn from who adamantly cares about making sure the message is conveyed. He goes off on tangents a lot and will take time to understand his way of teaching. Worth it at the end.

Unless you have super powers you will not have a good time in this class. This guy writes faster than you can jot down notes and speaks faster than you can perceive. Differential equations are already hard enough, but he makes it excruciatingly difficult by writings illegible chicken scratch. It's really hard to absorb anything during lecture.

Comment:
This Guy is the most eccentric and worst prof I've ever hard. I hardly ever grasp the material taught in class and revisiting his notes is like deciphering a hieroglyph. He constantly uses arrows, acronyms, and circles in a way that makes following his lecture next to impossible. His tests are difficult but reflect the homework problems.

If you genuinely try, he will be one of the best teachers you will have; a lot of students complain because they don't put in much (great) effort but still expect good grades. He also has a good sense of humour and some interesting stories.

He is the most smart guy ever who cannot be followed in lecture. I believe he is a good guy who is helpful on math, but he won't let you pass if you are not smart enough. Whatever, I dropped his class.

Dr. Kember is great, talk to him outside of the lecture and he answers any questions you have. He wants his students to succeed, but he wants to know that they're working for it. DE isn't easy but if you ask Dr. Kember for help he'll gladly give it to you.

Fun stories, but unfortunately tagged with the responsibility of teaching a difficult subject. Lots of his students fail to understand everything, but he won't put anything on the exam or midterm that you haven't seen before.

He teaches those who want to learn and will never refuse to answer any dumb questions you may have for him. My advice is to study and look over your practice questions, if you fail- it's your fault. The final had one difficult question.
