Comment:

He is a horrible teacher. When you ask him for help he just repeats the question and doesnt help you, he makes you feel so dumb. The grading is horrible, 120 points for a test 1 point for Homework (and the homework will be up to 50 questions). Dont take him.

Horrible teacher/person. I dont usually have late work but he refuses to accept it. We had a death in the family and he didnt give a crap just gives out zero. He doesnt teach well and is very rude. I had stuff turned in on time but submission didnt go through and he didnt care just gave zero. All he had to do was look and he wouldve seen it.

We had zooms, but he didnt explain how to do the work. If you ask him a questions, he makes you feel stupid. Does not take any late work at all. He gives you notes that are confusing and not very helpful. Homework is due every day unless there is an exam. Extra assignments after tests. Very picky about wording and counts off on little things.

This professor is SUPER strict on grading. I took the elementary math class for education majors and the class isn't a normal math class. The point is to learn how to explain math to children. But if your explanation isn't PERFECT then he takes points away. He even told my friends class that nobody makes 100s. TRUST ME CHOOSE ANOTHER PROFESSOR!!!!!

He did not explain the work to us during our zoom sessions and expected us to follow his written out notes, which consisted of only paragraphs of terminology trying to explain the lesson with no examples. I was a high participant student and he avoiding questions to explain how he did his work. He also made degrading comments to his students.

Dr. Kolitsch is a solid professor, but be prepared to work outside of class. There is homework 3 times a week (MWF), but you get a week on each one. The homework is helpful in learning the material, so don't slack on it. The 4 exams and the final all had study guides that mimics the real thing. If you put the time in and study, you'll be fine.

Comment:

I did well in Math210 because I love statistics. However, I mostly taught myself through the readings. He goes over all the material, but he goes rather quickly and doesn't cover some matters as well as others. The exams are decently easy if you put some time in, but if you don't, it can be a struggle. I would try to take someone else for Math210.

At the beginning of the semester I did not like his way of teaching at all. After the semester went on, though, i got used to his teaching and actually started to really like the class. He kind of seems hard to approach but once you get to know him, he is definitely willing to help. Overall, you will have to work for your grade, but he is not bad.

Very hard class and felt uncomfortable asking for help. He acted like people were dumb for asking any questions. He made several people in the class cry. He counts off for every little thing (including spelling). I ended up passing somehow though.

This class was so difficult! He doesnt know how to teach in a way that other students can understand. Gives plenty of homework. He is very helpful when it comes to his office hours and asking questions. Gives study guides that are similar to the exam. If you are good with math take him but if you are like me and suck at math dont take him.

Kolitsch is not a bad professor, it's just the way he lectures is most definitely not for everyone. He can literally speed through 3 sections in 1 class period, which causes confusion in the difference in section. The textbook, imo, is not much help either since its not that clear. He does give partial credit on quizzes/exams

Hes really not as bad as people are making him out to be. He is someone that is so smart, he doesnt know how to dumb it down for those who arent so good at math. His study guides are just like the tests, and he only requires you to show up on test dates, but the lectures are very helpful. The only downside is the online homework.

He is not a bad teacher at all, I would even say he's a great teacher. I just simply don't understand what he's getting at. He is not very personable

Comment:

The momentum of the course faltered due to the weak textbook and computer based homework. The lectures were enjoyable and informative but overall the class was not. The course had no consideration for other courses or student life. I would take another L. Kolitsch course if it was the only course I was taking that semester. No Thanks

This is the first time in my college history that I have made an F. This teacher is not one to joke about, he is excellent at what he teaches, but goes through it too fast. Homework is practically useless, and study guides are almost literally hidden. Not one to take if you want to get a trying grade.

He's a decent teacher. You have homework every class period but it's not due for a week. His tests were definitely something you need to study for. It was not an easy A, but it was possible.

Attendance was taken the 1st week of class, but never again after that. All homework is online & you are given 1 week for each assignment, to do between 10-35 problems. (You are allowed to go back and correct the ones you missed.) He gives awesome reviews for all test. This really helped me a lot. Lots of note taking. No early class dismissal.

Don't take this class, ESPECIALLY if you're bad at math. He'll answer your questions, but be prepared for tough tests. He gives study guides but the tests are way harder. He gives a lot of homework, but it is all online, & the due dates are about 5 days in advance, which is a plus. He doesn't offer extra credit,or make-up tests. It's sink or swim.

A little more difficult than Math 191 but I still made a high A. He makes it clear what he wants and has bonus points on all of the tests which he has a study guide for. He will also help you during office hours.
