Ignore him and you'll be fine
Very hard to understand, but you'll pass
I feel sorry about you buddy. Bhla-bhla-bhla, ha-ha, da-da.
Very generous grader; sometime hard to understand

You can't fail.. my 85 was worth a 99
Does not fail anybody, period. 85 is the lowest you can get in the class.
How could you not like Dimitrov, definetly take this class you will see!!
He always trys to keep his students happy with good grades.
Great help, great teacher, helped outside of class. Awesome prof.
Very clear and fair to class......Russians RULE
I had no clue and got a 98, if you're looking for easy, he's your man
Don't go to class, he will only confuse you. Just buy the book!

Boyan's my dogg! Romanian power.
he is a great teacher and he's bulgarian not romanian
great curve, easy 100
Lectures are worthless. Cribbable, get peer help during tests
Lectures are difficult to follow. Learned very little in this course. Understood the homework for quizzes, but still don't grasp the main concepts or how to apply. Good to take for an easy grade, if you don't need the knowledge. Very kind person.
Hard to understand, tries hard to help, knows material. Seems to be a harsh grader but there is a lot of hidden curve. Expected an 85, got a 91. Could stay after class to finish tests.
Easy 90+ without any effort. Downfall is that you learn nothing. Very nice man with heavy Russian accent (he graduated from a school in Russia).
Really nice person. Did NO studying at ALL for final and somehow walked away with an 85 (out of 100) in class. Was convinced I was gonna fail but didn't. Apparently gives a freaking HUGE curve. Hard to understand lectures; taught a lot of material to self
Great teacher to have for stats!
Didn't learn much (if anything). Got a 90. Used books on final. Curves well, apparently. Humorous class.
He is unhelpful, but easy. Makes you show up to class, but it is pointless to pay attention.

Get Cribs! Allows crib sheet on everything, easy 90+, take home tests, tests/quizzes semi hard- doesn't matter though because his 'curve'.Hard to understand, likes class participation.GO TO WORKSHOPS/STUDY SESSIONS WITH ANDY if you want to learn something
Hands down, hardest prof to understand in mathematics. Cant find words to explain students questions. He knows the material, but struggles at teaching it.
Yea, a nice guy, but BAD professor! I should have paid myself because that's who taught me the material!!
Curve is great!!!!!!!!! 50% passes the class
He is the worst math teacher ever. I would never in my life take him again for any subject.
Yes, he's hard to understand, but he knows his stuff and will bend over backwards to help you if you ask. If you give him your time, he'll give you his. I'm taking him for calc 3.
Very good bad prof. Guaranteed you will pass the class with minimum effort. Gives you a lot of extra time to finish tests. Get some cribs, then sit back and enjoy the ride. Strongly recommended.
Awsome Prof. Everyone passes. If you got some brain cells, then you are guaranteed to get 98+. His accent is not an issue if you stay awake and do some work. Don’t ask a lot of questions, though, he gets pissed!!!!!!!! But you can make fun of him, he d
Can't understand him when he talks. Couldn't read his writing. Really easy to pass, but a little painful (boredum wise). We had a take home final.
It's sad because at the moment, He's the best math408 teacher @ kettering. (Get Well Richard)
Absolutely horrible! Hey, he is NOT an awesome prof because everone passes! I took no knowledge out of this class with me. I can't understand a word this mushmouth says. HE SUCKS! Better learn to speak Russian if you take this class.
If you just want to improve your WAG this is the way to go, I cant guarantee that you will learn anything in his class, but again if you want the high grade this is the guy. Talk about open book tests for which he is never in the room. SWEET!!
A nice guy struggling who struggles to connect. Consistantly showed up 10 min late to class, thankfully. I would die if I had him for anything other than Prob & Stats, cause I taught myself EVERYTHING. Cribs are priceless. Open everything. Magazine time.
Easy, and open book everything, but I didn't learn a thing. If you are just looking for a grade he is the man to take.
accent is hard...
Unclear, accent is hard to understand, but you will get a good grade
Not a damn clue what he is saying.
you'll pass but make sure you get some *help* throughout the term. He has left the room during open book tests.
Dr. Dimitrov is very intelligent, but doesn't speak English well enough to be a teacher in the USA. I respect him for his intelligence and his wonderful personality, but I don't think he should be teaching here.
Be prepared to learn it on your own. Go to class, but only to do homework problems. The quizes were straight from the book. Just make sure you can network with a few people in the class to study with and you'll be fine.
If you have a grasp on the material already, take him! He grades super easy. He just doesn't teach for crap. Sometimes he confuses people more than helps them. Just learn on your own and use the awesome curve.
No idea what he says, never finishes a thought out loud, expects you to know everything. Smart guy, very smart guy, can't teach to save his life.
Genius.The man is an absolute Genius.Material wasn't easy, but he gave take home everything.I feel bad because we got by on cribs and solutions manual and he's really not a bad teacher. Very nice guy as well. Make 1/2 hearted attempt and get 90+.
didnt go to class ever, let us use a cheat sheet on final, i put the crib from last years exam on it, yeah same exam...easy 100, very lazy guy uses old tests and quizess, never stays in the room when he gives tests.....
This guy is a freaking genius. He can't teach though. Makes up for that with take home quizes. Easy grader. Didn't learn much. Got a 96
Well what can I say? Hard to understand at first but it grows on you. A very nice guy. Can help if you got a question... on anything. Super easy grader, got a 90+ without doing homework... not once. However this is comming from a person who thinks math is easy
TOTALLY CRIB-ABLE! Likes to ask the girls questions - really nice, but so out of the loop of calculus! major WAG booster!
Thought i would drop class first week. Due to poor teaching and hard tests. Final exam was a take home, that counted for entire grade. Ended up with a 98. Lucked out for sure.

Cant understand word he has said after being in his class for 11 weeks. The ease of the homework is not as enjoyable given the fact that the tests and quizzes are nothing like those problems. they are all ten times as hard as the homework. dont take unless u have cribs + the answer cd to the book
Never understood a word he said. Loves singling out the girls. Gave every quiz and test as a take home after the first one-100% cribbable final exam. Takes daily attendance ON THE SAME SHEET for extra credit. You can't lose!
EXTREMELY generous curve, has thick accent
If you want a 95+, he is your man. just show up to class and dont cheat. 95+, that easy. (test grades dont matter) I love this guy.
If he took the marbles out of his mouth, I might have learned something
TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE......NEEDS TO LEARN INGALISH, LIKES TO KEEL THINGS
He will help you anytime you need it. Went the whole term without learning anything and still got a 90. He is SUPER nice. If he learns your name your getting called on allll the time. Go to class everyday and you'll get a good grade... bring a laptop to kill time. I would take him again.
Best guy ever.
This guy can't speak ENGLISH.. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE PROFESSOR GET CRIBS ASAP
Cozy up to your book and get ready to teach yourself. This guy is one of the worst profs at kettering. Fairly easy to pass, but you won't learn a thing.
This guy is likely a complete genius. Unfortunately, most people can't understand a damn thing he says. I have no problem learning on my own, and have the great ability to understand people with even the heaviest Bulgarian accents. I took this professor because of his incredible curve that he must use to pass students.
Dr. Dimitrov is such a goofy Bulgarian genious. He knows his stuff, but has trouble communicating with the class on the subject material. You can get a 95 just for trying, but using cribs is helpful for your own learning sake. Follow the chalk-on-the-door trail after class to find his office. Make note of his crazily-bent specticals.
Virtually impossible to understand, but you are guaranteed a good grade. Also, he dyes his beard and hair, so watch out for that.

I didnt learn much in his class, but if you show up and dont miss more than 3 classes, he has a crazy curve, gives extra credit for going to tutoring, quizes and test are very cribable, as long as you show interest you will pass.
worst teacher ever
Easily the most useless teacher and class I've ever had. You'll pass but you won't know anything about Prob Stats by the end. The lectures are mindless babble that will not help you at all. Only go to class to sign in, listening will only confuse you more. Complete waste of my tuition dollars and my time.
i failed just about every test and quiz, never went to office hours or asked questions in class, bombed the exam, and somehow pulled a 90. DEFINITELY recommended for lazy/dumb people like me. beware, he will sometimes catch you off gaurd with some ridiculous math humor. dont try to understand why he's laughing just act like it never happened.
Dimitrov is the best math teacher at Kettering bar none. He's a really great guy and really smart if you dumb @sses paid attention.
I learned almost nothing, and he does not answer questions well at all.
this is a useless professor, do bad on tests, sleep in class, get a 90, and most important, learn absolutly nothing, i think i knew more about prob and stats going into the class then when i left, i actually got dumber
This Bulgarian is the MAN!!! The MAN OF nothing. Very nice guy. I highly recommand the sexy, genius bulgarian to those who want to learn NOTHING. Of course you will be the master of NOTHING with a 96+ WAG. GOOD LUCK!!!
Dimitrov is a good guy. It is cool and very helpful when you go in his office. you won't learn that much in Prob Stat, but at least he won't kill your WAG (96+). Get a book and cribs and you will be fine. I will take him again.
Fun professor who often gets off topic. He can be hard to understand at times but he'll keep you awake with his humor. Atop that, taking his class won't kill your WGA.
A funny professor who enjoys teaching his students. He's not the easiest professor to understand nor is he the best, but he does his best to teach the material fairly and will be enthusiastic to help you if you should ask for help.
Don't feel bad if you do poorly on ALL of the exams, it will all work out in the end...trust me. You have other classes to worry about and this shouldn't be one of them.
Dimitrov is one of the most brilliant professors at Kettering but he cannot teach. He is very difficult to understand and cannot relate any of the material. However, attendance determines your grade. If you're looking for an easy grade without studying, then Dimitrov is the right professor.
If you take this man for Calc 3 you will get a free A. All of the tests and quizzes were take-home except for the first quiz and first test. I failed those two miserably but still got a 95 in the course. Even the final was take-home. You can not understand him at all and you will not learn anything in his class but it is an awesome WAG booster.
Learned nothing in this class best learn how to cheat if you want to pass
If you do not get 100% you are retarded! Practice another problem gives you all the answers....so if you are willing to devote 1 hr a week to cheating ur good to go :) oh and take turns signing ppl in, attendance is mandatory but he wont care if one person is there representing the whole class!
I cannot believe this guy is still teaching a Kettering after 15 years or so. He may be a brilliant mathemetician, but he cannot get anything across of value. Mandatory attendance is a joke, as you are better off learning collaboratively with others, as myslef and all my peer students had to.
Very difficult to understand.
Most useless waste of space. Literally sit in a computer lab for 2 hours playing gmaes while you listen to the idiot babble. Then teach yourself everything later. Couldn't hate this guy more
Rated textbook use low, but I must qualify that; you don't need the book to complete the class, but if you want to learn anything, it won't be from this prof. All tests excepting the first were take home. For ME's, taking statics concurrently with this class is highly recommended. I learned in one week of statics what took 6 in Dimitrov's class.
I didn't attend this class all term except to walk in sign-in and walk out and I wasn't hidding it either. He is brilliant when it comes to math but is in way over his head teaching. Doesn't speak English or use soap. EASY A++++. Take him just for that. Plus made the rest of my term easier since I didn't have to come to class. Everything is online.
Professor Dimitrov did not strictly enforce the attendance policy, others were able to receive full attendance points by signing in and then leaving. Almost exclusively take home assessments based off of past tests/quizzes. Struggles with problem set-up and arithmetic resulting in wasted lecture time.
I like this professor and his style of work in class
I took Dimitrov for ProbStats. The lecture is very boring, as he will lecture behind a computer screen at a very slow pace. Thankfully, the work is very easy.
100% of the classwork is on WebAssign, exams, assignments and extra credits; eve the FINAL. Which means it's an easy A class. My friend is taking his MATH-408 class and he says the same thing about him. I like him he's a really nice guy and I would take him as much as I can :)
Lectures are boring and you don't need to be there. Attendance is "mandatory" but you can just sign in and leave.
You only need to go to class on quiz days
Easiest course at KU, but you will learn absolutely nothing. If you just need an easy A and don't actually care about learning this Statistics background stuff, take Dimitrov. If you need to actually learn this stuff (Math majors with concentrations in Actuarial Science or Applied Statistics, or Statistics minors), take Rablau and thank me later.
Easiest class I've taken so far, almost too easy. I actually cared about learning the material, but it's very easy to pass the class just by looking up how to do it online. Easy extra credit points are given. His accent is sometimes difficult to understand, but other then that he is a helpful and incredibly nice professor.
It's ridiculous how such a professor is allowed to teach as he does at Kettering. The classwork is a joke, tests are just questions from assignments, and it's possible to get 120% in the class if you do the extra credit stuff. All you have to do is put up with about an hour's worth of babbling twice a week at worst.
He is the best! Went over everything before exams made sure everyone understood the material.
This professor is hands down the worst professor at Kettering. His exams are on WebAssign and while it is a very easy class to pass with an A I feel no more knowledgeable for taking this class. I'm just praying I don't need much Calc 3 in my future.
He's a nice and understanding guy. If you take the time to go to office hours you will understand his lectures much better. All of the work is on webassign so it is very easy to pass.
Possibly the most incompetent person I have ever met in my life. Will pass because he does not care about students or the class in general. Would rather take a professor who is not a complete moron who grades twice as hard just to avoid having to hear him lecture about something he has no idea about.
Great professor. Took him for calc 3. He has a much more strict attendance policy due to students not showing up to class. Helps with really understanding the material. Tests are easy because he takes the time to explain the process clearly. Would gladly take him again
best professor I ever took. Learnt a lot.
One of the best in mathematics.
A lot of extra credit. Barely need to do the final project. Super Boring but an easy A
Had Dimitrov for ProbStats. The whole thing was on webassign except for the final project. His lectures are unintelligible, and most of us had no clue what was going on for the whole semester. If not for classmates, chegg, and excel, I would not have been able to pass, but with all of that, the class was a breeze (although frustrating)
Just use the excel sheet to get all the answers, take your free A ,and go. Also have a friend sign you in and you get a free A without ever going to class. Would retake again but add 4 more credits since I never went to the course the entire term.
Do you want to boost your GPA and have zero understanding of prob stats? Take this course. Expect everything online with no help from the professor, massive language barrier and horrible course structure it is almost impossible to acquire knowledge from this guy. Very easy to pass due to the skewed grading scale and ridiculous point distribution.
The worst prof I have ever had the misfortune of having. Speaks in broken confusing sentences with a heavy accent. Handwriting basically unreadable. He changed the test structure to be half written in class so the class is no longer a breeze and not any better when it comes to learning things.
Has an accent that makes it almost impossible to understand him. Lectures often don't match what's being assigned. All assignments, including exams, are taken from the book, so answers are available on the internet. Given computer access during exams. Covers half an hour worth of content per week. Easy pass, learned absolutely nothing.
Had to teach myself the course material.
He has a thick accent and is very difficult to understand but his class is easy as all the homework is on webassign, meaning you can use Chegg to do it all. The in class work is extra credit and there is one final project at the end of the course. Actually a very nice caring guy although his teaching isn't very effective.
