Comment:

Took his 16-week course. There are 41 homework, 7 tests, 1 midterm, and 1 final. Most helpful advice: TAKE GOOD NOTES AND TRY TO ANSWER EVERY QUESTION ON THE HOMEWORK. This is because some homework questions appear on the test, midterm, and final. He replies to emails in less than 24 hours. Overall, a great professor and a tough course.

Great Professor. The work is tough, but he is very responsive to email, and has his own videos for a lot of the tougher problems.

1 Mid-term exam, 1 Final Exam, a quiz for every chapter, 2-4 homework assignments every week (41 HW assignments in total). Everything was through MyLab Math. Will work with your schedule and help if your stuck. He replies emails fast with problems worked out on paper with amazing breakdown.

I am very happy that I decided to take Professor Kratzmeyer's class. The work is difficult, but he has a lot of things that help you. The videos he makes are good, and he is very quick to respond. He actually seems to care about our success unlike some profs I have taken in the past. If you are on the fence about this class, do it.

I took wintermester, don't do it if you can help it... It sucked the life out of me. I also have a feeling that the course doesn't change depending on the semester length and it's the same course no matter what semester your in. Shannon is quick to grade, other than that the course is all online through Pearson mylab and it's on you.

Unlike most other professors during this online class period, this professor was very accessible. He always responds to emails and welcomes any questions and is eager to help. The profesor is also always checking in on the students, which meant a lot.

Calculus was a difficult course for me, but I this course made it easier. Professor Kratzmeyer has his own videos and made a ton of them for me when I asked him over the semester. Most times I had a problem, he would create a video and send me the link. He seems really nice. I would take him again. Oh, and two attempts on quizzes was nice.

Does not require specific meeting times. Posts his own videos of problems worked out each week. Quizzes and the Midterm and Final were all problems I had seen on the homework. Reviews for the major tests. Can finish the class early which was good for me.

Literally never talked to this guy. Took calc 2 over the summer and it was all on MyMathLab. I had to turn in 2 homeworks with at least 25 questions each every day to stay on track to finish on time. A super-heavy course that is really time-consuming.

Don't take the Summer 4-wk. Curriculum is all on MyMathLab: 80-100 Qs/day Assignments that have to be done in order (no flexibility) I found mistakes that Prof had to send to the publishers No lectures, no TAs, no Office Hours I'm teaching myself everything. If you haven't taken Calc in a while like me, the lack of instruction SUCKS.

Professor Kratzmeyer was amazing, he sent the announcement every day to remind what due tonight and 2 attempts for each quiz, and 1 attempt for midterm and final. This course goes by fast, be aware of the due date. I did not have to email to ask him any question.

This guy is horrible. Took maymester online class. Expects to do 80-100 questions everyday. And if you do not finish on time, he cuts off points by 5% per day. Dont take this guy especially in summer

I just finished Professor Kratzmeyer's course from the Spring. The course was laid out very well. I enjoyed it a lot. I only asked 4-5 questions over the entire semester, but he answered them almost immediately.

All book no videos or examples for this class. I dropped it the first day because there was no help given with any of the assignments. If you struggle with Math dont take this class you will be on your own. On top of that she gives three shots at passing homework, if you get no help it should be unlimited tries so that you can keep practicing.

I took the online class and he responds to emails quickly. I had a couple of problems I didnt understand so I asked and he was very helpful and took the time to work out the problem and show me how to enter it into the calculator. I am taking him again for calculus II.
