Adam is AMAZING! Great teacher! lucky if you get him. He always helps you if you ask! Makes everything clear and wants you to succeed. I would love to have him again.
Adam is an amazing teacher! You can tell he truly loves his work. I had him for 126 and made sure to get him for 127. I hadn't taken a math class in several years and he made these classes bearable and approachable. Anyone taking math 126 or 127 would be lucky to have him. Greatest math teacher, honestly.
Wonderful teacher! He is 100% committed to helping his students succeed. I wasn't super interested in math before taking his class but now I'm considering minoring in math because of him. He's also understands that most of the people in his class aren't math majors and takes the time to not only explain concepts, but apply practical uses. AWESOME!
Adam is honestly the most amazing math teacher I have ever met! he is not only helpful but he wants u to pass.... The final exam is extremely hard and even going into the final with a B there is a way to still not pass... Do well in the beginning and go into the final with the highest grade you can get!
Adam is the BEST math teacher i have ever had He explains concepts in ways to make every student understand he always asks if any one had questions on homework problems and takes time to go over each question He makes it clear everything he wants you to know and makes sure he has taught you everything about that section. Wish i had him again in 127
Probably one of the best instructors in the math department in the sense that he brings a sense of enthusiasm to the class. His tests and lectures are clear. You cannot go wrong with Adam.
Adam is an excellent teacher . He is very enthusiastic and he actually makes learning about math interesting. You can tell he is passionate about the subject and he wants all of his students to succeed. He explains concepts thoroughly that students do not understand (even if it material from MATH 126). He is the best math professor I have had.
Probably one of the best professors I've had! He's very organized, straight-forward, and helpful. He will outline everything you need to know for quizzes and exams, clarify any confusions you may have, and solve any difficult problems for the class. Pick him if you can! There's probably no one else as fun and easy to understand.
The best instructor I have ever had. His notes are very clear and organized. He keeps class fun, and it always willing to slow down and answer questions. One of the nicest people you will ever meet at UNLV.
By far the best teacher I have ever had! He is very helpful and wants everyone of his students to succeed. This lectures are very clear and his tests are very similar to the final, he prepares his students for the final very well. Loved coming to this class!
Some math teachers are good at math, but not all of them are able to TEACH math. Which makes Adam a great math teacher because he can do both! He is very helpful and clear. He was the best math teacher I've ever had !
Class is not easy, but Adam is enthusiastic & helpful. Well-prepared for lectures. Explains well & does not skip steps when doing examples - a HUGE plus. Provides notes with explanations that are easier to follow than the book. Highly recommend. Read material ahead of time, attend office hours, tutor lab, & review sessions for maximum success.
If I could have Adam as an instructor for every math course I have to take I would be psyched. He loves math and loves teaching, his explanations were easy to understand and he is always available to help out in office hours. Take math from this guy.
Koebke is THE BEST teacher I've had while attending UNLV. He's so passionate and enthusiastic about his subject that it's contagious. The fact that he would do anything for his students to learn encourages mostly every student to do the best they can. If you can take him, DO IT. It'll be your best chance at passing math if you're not a fan of it.
Adam is such a good teacher I hired him as a private tutor for my other math classes during different semesters. He really helps you understand the material when other teachers just confuse you. He loves his job and it really shows in how he treats his students
Adam was such a great teacher!
Adam is a great instructor . When he does examples on the board, he explains it so well that you really understand it. & I like that he does multiple examples during class, he doesn't just do one example & then say "Alright, next topic." He takes the time to really make sure his students understand everything. & he's really really funny haha.
In addition to the 3 tabs in Sec. 7, these should also be included: expect homework, hilarious, clear grading criteria, and would take again. You want Mr.K. The notes are clear and easy to understand. Everything is done step by step from start to finish and he does not mess up often. He makes math enjoyable and you will want to learn more.
One of the easiest graders I have ever had. I definitely recommend taking his class.
If every math teacher was like him , i would be a math major. FANTASTIC TEACHER!!! and a great explain-er. I honestly understand math like never before and i am really really greatful for him. I would take that class again just for the sake of it. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Koebke is the best, hands down. Too bad I won't have him for my calc courses! He is clear in his explanations, and makes things easy to understand. He has a passion for math that is infectious! 1010
I took Koebke's class as an 8 week course in the fall and let me tell you he is one of the best math teachers I've taken. Math has never been my best subject, but he knows how to explain things clearly and makes it much easier. He is willing to help. Most of the homework was done in class online, we have a few 5 question quizzes. I recommend!
Adam is one of the best professors I have taken. Always takes the time to make sure the students understand and makes learning math not as painful. Definitely recommend! Do the online homework as they are very similar to the tests. Do the hw and you'll have a good chance of passing
This guy is the best math teacher I have had. He gives ample examples for not only his exams, but the final as well. He is up front and honest about what each exam and the final is like. His teaching style is straight forward and very easy to understand. He is very passionate about teacher math in a way that all can understand.
One of the best math professors I've ever had! Really gives you confidence in passing the class and understanding the material. Spends time with all of his students to ensure they have a clear understanding of the work and is very personable! Highly recommend this professor!
No matter what subject Adam would teach, I would take his class. He not only cares about his students success, he takes the time to truly teach everyone. He made math not only interesting but fun. If you can take him, you really should. He will go the extra mile to help you. If you don't excel in his class, then odds are it is you and not him.
Greatest math teacher I have ever taken in my life! I wish all professors were like him and learned from him. I have never liked math until I took this class. Great teacher overall makes material easy to understant and will be there for you if you get lost.
Honestly the best math class I have ever taken. Math is my worst subject, and I can't believe how easy and painless Koebke made math. You can tell he genuinely cares about making sure the students learn the material. Teaches clearly and helps anyone who needs it. I would absolutely take another class taught by him again.
Amazing math teacher. Provides excellent lectures and is always willing to help.
Best math professor ever! He is very helpful and wants nothing more but for students to understand and pass so they can get to their next math class. He is very clear on what will be on the quizzes and exams and always reviews.
A Great Professor, He actually cares about his students and makes Math tolerable. Whatever math class you need to take, and if he is a choice, YOU ARE WRONG if you do not take his class. His Exams are straight from the study guided and practice problems he GIVES YOU during lecture. He's a solid 10 as an instructor.
Adam is the BEST math teacher for any course level! you won't regret taking him! homework is due every Sunday. You need the online math course Hawkes to do assignments. He teaches easy enough for you to understand and if you don't, he will not move on till everyone understands. His door is always open to past students to help on other math courses.
Completely changed my perspective on math in its entirety. He makes sure you understand the material, and his lectures never seem like they are dragging on. He makes you excited to come to class everyday. Honestly, if you show up and pay attention there is no doubt you will pass this class with flying colors!
Adam is a wonderful human being and teacher. I wish more people had the passion and drive to really want to help people like he does. He was the best math teacher I've ever had in my life and probably will be for the rest of my life. I'm sad to be finished with his class. I wish I could be in more. Thank you so much Adam. You really do change lives
This professor is really caring and has fun lectures! He's very passionate and I was in his pilot test class over the summer. I will take him in the fall because he made math easy and enjoyable! He always knew how to answer questions at different angles for everyone to understand. His lectures aren't that long and he's always on point withclass.
Best Math Professor at UNLV, actually best professor at UNLV. He really cares about seeing his students pass. Show up to every class he assigns mini projects that make up a considerable part of the grade. Review days really prepare you for the exams. Not too fond of the group projects but I see why they are used. Overall Great Great Guy!
If you hate math, he'll change that. He did an amazing job at breaking down the math and explaining why and how you did things. I should've been in a higher math class when I took it so it was easy for me to begin with but I watched lots of other students understand the work.
As a student who HATED math and thought it was very hard, Professor Koebke changed that! He makes math VERY fun and understandable. DO NOT WORRY about pop quizzes! He informs the class a week in advance about ALL quizzes and tests so we have time for study. He also assigns projects to help improve grades, and has in-class study days for exams.
I hate math and I am so bad at it! I got my first A ever in a math class! I love him, the best math teacher I have ever had! Such a nice person too! TAKE HIM you won't regret it!!
It's easy to tell that Adam loves what he does. His lectures aren't usually super long, and he makes sure to do enough examples until you really understand the material. He will always tell you what is and is not on the tests. Study guides are provided, and he'll have a review day before the test. Super chill guy. Take him if you can!
He cares and loves what he does, and is passionate about what he teaches. He's extremely patient. Only teacher I've ever had that has made math interesting.
Best math teacher Ive ever had! Made the material easy to understand and helped someone who has never been good at math get an A! 10/10 would recommend!
His lectures are very easy to understand. I didn't like math until I got to his class, he's very caring and willing to meet outside of class. You don't HAVE to get the textbook, but you'll get more credit if you do. However, if you take notes during the lectures then you'll do fine on quizzes and tests.
I usually hate math but Adam made everything super easy to understand. I was never afraid to ask questions in this class and this is the first math class I actually got an A in. Such a great professor and such a dope class!
Adam is a fair and caring professor. His lectures are easy to understand, and quizzes and tests are nearly the exact same as his study guides. He can be easily contacted outside of class for extra help. I hate math, but I havent dropped below a B at any point this semester.
I think Adam Koebke is the best math teacher in the world.
Excellent professor. He gives the clearest instructions on how to complete the math problems given. He restored my faith in the UNLV math department. 8 mini projects with instructions, 3 big projects (really simple) with instructions, 4 exams that he preps you for so well. Respectable guy with a bright future.
I took his class during the fall of 2017 and it was amazing. He is considered one of the best professors I have ever had. The class consisted of weekly online homework (very easy), mini projects and questions done with small groups. He also reviews before the exams to make sure we are ready. Overall, cares about our learning and how we do. AMAZING!
Professor Koebke is amazing! You can tell he really cares for his students and is by far, one of the easiest professors I've taken at UNLV. Definitely recommend!
AMAZING. His class was super easy to understand and he was so great at making sure you really understood the topic. Actually cares about his students and their grades. A couple girls in my class went in together to do a tutoring session together at like 7am. As long as you keep asking questions and coming to class, you'll pass.
Koebke is very clear and will remind you of upcoming assignments. You will never be sucker-punched. Anyone can do math, but it takes someone special to TEACH it. He's a great TEACHER. You will find it easy to understand a problem because he makes it easy for you. You are in good hands with this professor.
Adam was the best math teacher I have ever had. I really learned a lot from him and I hardly had to do anything in the class to pass the exams and the class with an A. He goes through the problems, step by step, and makes math easier to understand. He teaches you real life problems that you can use math to solve them! (Financing, renting, etc...)
Adam is by far the best math professor I've ever had. He was always super chill during class and made sure everyone understood what was going on. He makes the class basically impossible to fail since he'll offer help whenever you need it. I would take him again for any other math class for the rest of school.
Very easy course. Weekly homework, a few tests and a few projects. Very manageable. Adam makes it as simple and fun as possible. Take him if you have the opportunity. Attendance not mandatory but it is very helpful for you to be there.
If you hate math, take his class. Adam is the best math teacher I've ever had. He truly cares about your success. He will work with you if you need help and answer any questions you have. The class consisted of quizzes, exams, projects, and online homework. It seems like a lot but he paces the course well and makes sure you are well prepared.
Always been awful at math and then I took Adams class. Adam made math easy and understandable. There are 3 major exams plus the final and then he would also have 6 quizzes to do. Homework was easy and online, so no textbook required.
I've always been so bad at math and finally passed. Adam is one of the best math professors at UNLV.
Awesome teacher. He is very clear about how the course is graded and genuinely cares that his students learn the material. All of the homework is done on my math lab and is easy enough if you watch his lectures. I feel confident going into Math 120 after taking his 95 class.
I had taken him for both 95CX and 120CX. Mr. Koebke can be easily contacted. There would be multiple attempts for each mini-project and has video examples for each chapter. I suggest that you don't forget to do MathLab assignments since it is part of the grading criteria. He is approachable as he has math lives in which students could ask questions
Learning math online during a pandemic was terrible but Professor Koebke made the best out of the situation. He truly wants you to learn the material and pass the class. Math is not my strong subject but he held zoom meetings for exam reviews to answer questions and was always available by email. 10/10 would recommend.
Professor Koebke is awesome! He's understanding and always willing to listen to his students feedback. He is chill and is very helpful!
Adam was truly one of the best math professors I have ever had. His class is very straight forward. If you watch his videos and attend his live meetings and ask questions you will pass with flying colors. Adam always says to reach out to him at any time and if you do, he will get back asap. Highly recommend and will take again
Professor Koebke is really helpful, easily reachable if you have a question, and hold live zoom classes twice a week where you can ask questions. This was an online class. Make sure just to follow how he has everything listed in canvas and you will do just fine.
The best professor! Only need the code, not the whole textbook. Super helpful and understanding. Taught us about real life situations as well
Adam is an amazing teacher. He gives great lectures and genuinely cares if his students understand the material. The math has real world applications that makes you want to learn more. I advise attending the class as often as you can.
Best math professor ever! Very kind and caring!
Best professor I've had! Made math easier and actually fun to learn.
He had office hours or email if you needed to ask questions. His videos were super helpful! He also did study guides before the big exams. As far as class work goes there were 4 exams and 4 big projects (Which you were given tons of time to do the projects) there were also mini projects, homework assignments and reading checks.
One of the most talented math professors at UNLV! Great lecturer, humorous, and gives ample work to prepare for tests. His teaching style works for me and seems to work for the whole class. Take him!
He was an all-around caring professor who made learning the material so much easier than I've ever had it taught before. He cares and makes sure everyone does their best in his class.
I took a summer class that covered the entirety of Math 126 in the span of 5 weeks. Overall he is an amazing professor who is caring and very passionate for math. He is able to explain concepts in a way that all students understand and he is easy to access outside of class. He is also very humorous and very genuine. I highly recommend his classes.
Adam is probably the best math professor I've ever had. All his lectures are interesting and he explains the material very well. The class is still fairly difficult though so you have to study, but he is very helpful.
First math teacher in years that made math easy to understand. For some of the exams, he would give us his previous ones as practice and then just change the numbers on them for our actual exams. You should get an A if you keep up with homework and studying.
This is by far, my favorite math professor I've had within my time at UNLV. I have severe test anxiety, and his lectures are always so helpful. He also has such a vibrant energy that make you want to go to his class. Good hearted person, cares for his students, gives good concepts that will be helpful in the future. Recommend! Get this man a raise
He is a phenomenal professor & genuine person. He does have a textbook, it's not needed. He's always easy to reach and cares for his students. Lectures were a little fast, but you can take pics of the notes after. Class wasn't too difficult; some sections were a little hard, but nothing too scary. The homework wasn't bad, with few long assignments.
This guy is GREAT, one of the most phenomenal professors I've ever had. He's made math so much simpler than it seems and it's very clear that he wants to see his students succeed. His lectures go by quickly but he's always available after class for questions and such. His exams are also very simple and straightforward, just study and you're good.
Adam is an incredible math teacher. He explains everything so clearly and is good explaining the “why” behind things. The reviews he gives you before the exams are very similar to his exams so make sure to do them. If you have the option to take any of his classes, please do it!!!
Professor Koebke is a phenomenal professor who genuinely cares for his students & wants them to do well. His lectures are fast paced but he does so well at explaining everything and breaking it down and using practice problems. He's accessible outside of class through zoom office hours which I found super helpful. Best math professor in my opinion.
really nice and made my worst subject work for me
He is an amazing professor. Provided good material and feedback on all assignments. Made sure every student was ok in the course regarding learning the material. He is a bit fast paced but it is understandable considering it is a university.
This is a teacher who genuinely cares about you and your learning and will motivate you to do your best. After I failed the first exam he reassured me that it's not the end of the world and it's still possible to get the grade I want. By far the best math professor I have ever had.
Very easy to talk to. Please reach out to him if anything comes up during class. He very much cares for his students' wellbeing, and is always friendly. The coursework isn't bad, either. Very fair grading criteria. Very much would take again.
Nice teacher but incredibly rough in workload and goes way too fast over material. Doesn't allow make-up work on weekly tests either. No calculators allowed. Most of the class failed the first exam.
He is an amazing professor, very encouraging and you can tell he cares for his students and loves what he does. There is quite a bit of homework but it really helps to understand the material. Very easy to reach and talk to. He is a very caring professor and I learned a lot in his class. He definitely prepares you for everything so do not worry!
Absolutely amazing, and I wish I could have him as my professor for every class. Super caring about all of his students and understanding. I never enjoyed math or had the motivation to try until taking his class. Truly an amazing and respected professor. 10/10 everyone should take his class. Exams never have unexpected material.
Goat math professor fr
Professor Koebke was honestly one of my favorite professors of the fall semester. He is very engaging, easy to talk to, and very passionate about the success of his students. The class goes by really fast but that's something he can't really help or has much control over. Ask lots of questions and always stop him to review something!
honestly loved him and his class over the fall. lowkey tho he's kinda hot and he's funny lol.
