An all around horrible teacher,doesn't break things down or explain things to you.Makes you figure it all out on your own and if you have a question about how a problem is done all he does is write the answer on the board but never tells you how he got to the answer or how the problem is done.

He seems like a nice enough guy if you understand the material without him having to do much work. He would get frustrated if someone asked a question. Was very strict about sticking to the syllabus as far as assignments and making sure we covered everything even if some students didn't grasp what was being taught. I would never take him again.

Kiprono is the worst professor I have ever taken. He has impossible office hours and wouldn’t stay after class. During his lectures he was easily distracted. If you can teach yourself the material, this is the class for you. He relies heavily on the book and will only go over easy examples in class. I highly discourage taking his class.

May be a good teacher in person but not online. Offers strict quiz/test dates and only allows tests to be done on weekends? Pretty dumb set up considering a student's life. Most people don't have time to sit there for 7 hours to practice math and that's the only type of advice he offers if you need help. Definitely won't take it again.

I am excellent in math, it has always been my strong point in school. I could not learn from this professor unfortunately. He is a nice person in general, but he doesnt really explain how a math problem is done. Your best bet is to read the text book and teach yourself. But I need to see something done step by step to learn, which he does not do.

He just didnt care. I took his online class and even if I put in the correct answer but put it in the system incorrectly and emailed him to tell him he would basically say too bad hes not changing it. I gave up half way through. Ironically I retook the class at another school and received a B+. I guess I needed a professor who actually cared.

He knows math but bad at teaching. All homework online. created his own tests worth half your grade that didnt resemble any work you had done so far. Very few Qs on those tests so dont get anything wrong. He took lots of personal time and spent lots of classes playing on his phone. gave the impression that he was too busy for our class. avoid him

Absolute failure in understanding of student's situation in the pandemic. Moved up deadlines, would not accept late, changed exam submission policy without notice, tested on things we didn't learn, publicly called out students, refusal to accommodate when I went to the hospital. Total jerk in conversation, refusal to budge. would never take again.

AVOID. Worst Professor I have ever taken in my years at the Mount. He seems to have a few screws loose because he does NOT TEACH. Relying on Youtube videos for course instruction is despicable, and is unhelpful when you have questions. He had to resubmit a test due to error, and was unclear on instruction. An embarrassment to the math curriculum.

Where do I even start. Over the semester he has "speculated" his students to be cheating and has changed test policies countless times. It is hard enough to understand him with his lack of proper English grammar. To top it all off this joke of a college professor relies on Professor Leonard's YOUTUBE channel to mask his failure to teach. Stay away!

Never again will I spend a another minute in this man's classroom. A true mockery of what it means to be an educator. As COVID-19 has created obstacles this semester for me, this embarrassment of the Mount has failed to adjust to student needs. Assignments are unclear, and there is no help. May as well contact Youtube cause they actually teach me.

This professor was NONEXISTENT throughout the entire course. He provided NO help with concepts, no videos or lectures, or any feedback on any work submitted online. He did zero teaching and only submitted youtube links on the weekly chapter topics. Each student had to teach themselves and when emailed for help, would commonly not reply. AVOID HIM!

Plain and simply stated this guy is JUNK. He made absolutely zero effort to teach his own material and instead posted youtube videos from Prof Leonard. Also made students redo test questions because he's not smart enough to write them correctly the first time. Tests are worth 50% of your grade if you're into that sort of thing.

Don't expect anything from this man. Gives zero feedback, might as well be googling how to do math. Worst professor I've ever had. It has also been suggested that he might be behind some of his positive ratings here and that's disgusting. Expect him to ghost your emails and shrug his shoulders when you need help. Taught via other peoples you tube

Course description should be changed to Teach yourself calculus via YouTube videos. Every class Ive taken with this guy his philosophy is to just YouTube it. Dont think there was anything he created himself to help his students for this class. Email him a question and hell tell you to just YouTube it theres tons of videos out there.

Avoid him at all costs. Wait until next semester to take somebody else if you have to. He does zero teaching and whenever I asked for help he told me to YouTube it. Zoom hours are a joke and hes unprofessional. Poor excuse for a teacher, he sits around and collects his paychecks. Why are we paying the school to watch YouTube, honestly?

man loves his youtube videos I had him two semesters in a row and this man accused me of cheating three times. I scanned him proof of work done and he still would make comments in the group chat about doing homework, test, and exams honestly. He has a major issue. Would not recommend him as a teacher. I will be avoiding him at all costs.

Professor Kiprono was consistently late to every class. He rarely used notes that he prepared himself, he always seemed to be teaching from a handout that another professor has created. The practice exams are nothing at all like the actual exams. I am not sure he even created a single handout for this class.

Professor Kiprono was barely accessible within his office hours. It was virtually impossible to get a straight answer out of him if you had a sincere question on one of his assignments.

Not accessible outside of class, left you hanging a lot. During class would say the class was taking too long and that they needed to get through the chapter material, and would interrupt class multiple times per lecture to rant about this, 2-3 minutes each time.

Was absolutely unavailable to help. Whenever I would email him with questions he would tell me to YouTube, or would send YouTube videos, which were not enough help for pre-calc. He doesn't seem to understand or empathize that people learn differently and may struggle with math. Avoid him at EVERY cost. His attitude about teaching disgusts me.

I had to retake the math course at a completely different college because the course at my college was only taught by this professor. Goes to show you how bad of a professor he is when it comes to teaching. Completely Awful!

So absolutely NO LATE WORK ACCEPTED for an ONLINE class! You can't even access your past assignments once they're completed! And he claims he does it this way to be "fair to all students". How is it fair to put strict schedule deadlines on adults doing online classes most likely because they have busy personal and professional lives? The worst!

I took this class in person thinking it would help me understand the math better but I was wrong. When you ask questions he makes you feel stupid about what you're asking. Next to impossible to get into contact with him unless you're at the school. Made math feel harder.

Completely disorganized. Can never keep up with the the syllabus, adjusts due dates for homework and Quizzes to be due earlier thanks to falling behind his own academic plan sometimes have them due on the day of an exam. He will often have homework and Quizzes open all semester but teach the content the day that those homework and quizzes are due.

I taught myself with the textbook. Festus did not provide any of his own lectures or anything. Received YouTube videos that didn't cover everything needed. Does not allow missed assignments or makeup work for any reason whatsoever. Lots of homework, length exams, etc. Would get questions that were not covered.

He is very strict on attendance. If you plan not to come to his class, you NEED a doctor's note. He is not forgiving with any of the work, and if you fail, you fail. He has a great personality, but is not a great professor. He moves through lectures way too quickly and crams in too much information into one class.
