Great teacher. Course itself is very hard. A hella-lot of assigns and quizes!!

Probably the best prof I've ever had. The material is pretty intense though!

Holy crap... Summer school here I come.

well let's c. How about I give you 20 assignemnt each will take about 5 hrs of your week if not more(when you work in teams of 4 or more!) and 5 quizes in which I guarantee you feel like lifting the whole Dunn buliding and smack it on my head while I have

Great approach to material. Interesting lecturer.

He's the best prof i have had in my 3 years of Engineering!!!...He's damn smart for his own good but very down-to-earth and extremely helpful! Although i took the DE class about a year and half ago but i still love him..=)

Kember is quite possibly the smartest man on earth. He's very clear when teaching, and lays out his lectures well. However he thinks what is intuitively simple to him, should obviously the same for us.

Great teacher, possibly the best I've had. Encourages students to see more than just numbers when approaching a problem. I gained more from his class than any other.

Great guy, very smart and funny. Makes you laugh, makes it easier to learn. Good guy to talk to as well. Tests are way different from class material though.

By far the best math prof I've ever had, and I've had quite a few. He's the only prof I've had in years who isn't afraid to challenge his students, (which should be what they ALL do!), and I got an A+ in DE mainly because of it. Do this guy's cour

His tests are very hard. It's nice to see a teacher at this school who doesn't give out an A for showing up to class.

It was a tough course. Very tough. But he's hilarious and chalenges the students! The tests were way harder than the assignments, but he warns you of that. The trick is to be able to do math with letters instead of with numbers ;)

DE is the hardest course on the planet, there's no easy way of doing it that I can see. I'm sure he knows one, but he wont tell you, he'd rather watch you work like a dog for a 50. Very clear in his math, but not in his explanations. 8:30am tests....

People exagerate a lot. if u guys can't handle DE u can't handle Engineering, just tdrop out.

Kember is hilarious, and a far better teacher than any other prof I have this year.

great

my god that hair is hot....and his dreamy eyes

Great Prof, great sense of humor, knows what he's talking about. Makes you work moer in class and less at home. You actually learn in class instead of just taking notes and trying to understand later. that's the most effective teaching method.

NOt as bad as its said to be... Kember defintely makes the course hard, but he'll scale the exam at the end, and because of it you work harder and learn the material beter. He did a good job, but the one thing i could do without is hearing about how dumb the class is.

He may be a little full of himself, but he definately knows what he's talking about and you will learn something. His tests are rediculously hard, but it doesn't matter since he scales everything anyways. It's not how well you do on the test, it's how well you do compared to the rest of the class.

effective at connecting with real life

funneh

He is probably one of the smartest people you will ever meet. He teaches the material very quickly though. Often based on the assumption that you already know alot of things relating to the subject. One things for sure, he knows what hes talking about. Tip:If you want the information spoon fed to you, just hire a tutor.

Kember is what I thought every university prof would be like. He is engaging and expects a lot from students. He is very comfortable with the material and uses a lot of analogies to get it across, which is (usually) helpful. The class is tough but easily the best class this year.

Kember is one of my fav professors!

Excellent professor! Recommend him to anyone. Do not feel stupid if you do not understand anything in a lecture, you'll understand everything in the tutorial of the same week! Wish to have him again!Dr. Kember, both my hands up to you! :)

Dr. Kember is a very smart man. He knows DE inside-out. Lectures have a quick pace, I rarely understood what was going on in class. Some of his tests are a little difficult, but overall I'd call them fair. He cares about the students. During one test, he saw me looking nervous and told me to relax, that I had lots of time. An interesting lecturer!

"Maybe the whole test can just be this one problem or rather one just like it."....SILENCE falls accross the class....."NO!!" yells one brave student and Kember laughs. He gave us that stupid problem on the quiz and another one.

Kember is intellegent and very demanding of his students.

He knows his stuff but students hardly get what his saying most of the time. BUT he is very approachable and if you don't understand he can help if you go to his office hours or see him after class

Though i heard different about him before taking a class with him. Dr. Kember is a smart man. He is a great teacher, knows what he is talking about. His lectures are interesting, and overall his tests are fair. He cares about the students and education overall.

Hmm, how should i beginning Love this prof even though i got a C+. Crazy smart !! Take him !! Take him !! For DE !! Knows how to Teach really well if you come prepared to class !! Love this prof !!!

You know how math is usually structured, organized, rational, etc? Well, not in Dr. Kember's world. There, DE becomes real world art, and your notes will look like abstract paintings to hammer in the point. He won't make you a pure mathematician by any stretch of imagination, but he'll make you "see" math. Appreciate his genius!

Amazing teacher to listen to. An easy A+ if attended the tutorials, because thats when everyone has that "ooooooh thats what he was talking about" moment.

Kember is a strange man, however he has quite ways to get his topics across. If you go into his class with willingness to learn a whole different way and want to do good in his course, he'll make it happen. He won't just give you the marks, he'll make you work for them. Get past his randomness, hes pretty dece.

Great prof!

I love kembers random tangents and his stories. His is a bit hard to follow sometimes, but he is an interesting and extremely smart man. I loved going to his lectures just because i was so interested in who he was a person, and what he had to say.

Nice Prof for math. get prepared before class and you will learn a lot!

He teaches those who want to learn and will never refuse to answer any dumb questions you may have for him. My advice is to study and look over your practice questions, if you fail- it's your fault. The final had one difficult question.

Dr. Kember is great, talk to him outside of the lecture and he answers any questions you have. He wants his students to succeed, but he wants to know that they're working for it. DE isn't easy but if you ask Dr. Kember for help he'll gladly give it to you.

If you genuinely try, he will be one of the best teachers you will have; a lot of students complain because they don't put in much (great) effort but still expect good grades. He also has a good sense of humour and some interesting stories.

You will either learn it all inside out and backwards or learn nothing at all from his class.

An amazing professor to learn from who adamantly cares about making sure the message is conveyed. He goes off on tangents a lot and will take time to understand his way of teaching. Worth it at the end.

Shows lots of DE and VEC applications (control system, circuitry, and fluid mechanics...) during the class which benefit for future learning. And class is not that hard

Dr. Kember is the real deal. He knows the subject material intimately and is constantly drawing connections between DE and the real world. With that being said, the course is very difficult; in particular, some of the assignments seemed a bit excessive. If you buy in to his methods and do the practice problems you will be fine, but if not...

Honestly, taking this guys class was an experience. His classes are quite difficult but you will leave his classes a better person.

His teaching style is hit or miss for students, but you can't deny that Dr. Kember knows his stuff. I personally loved his teaching (even his messy writing keeps me on my toes). He wants to teach you how to think critically. Take his classes seriously and you will come out the other side confident and prepared to continue in your career.

His writing can be pretty hard to read at times. I suggest watching his lectures if in an online setting. From watching his lectures he often talks about his hate for tests and how he wants to be there for us during the pandemic, he cares a lot and adjusted his course to help. The content is very difficult but he is willing to help and thats nice.

Who would've guess, differential equations is a hard course. He has great enthusiasm for someone who knows your fate is death, and loves to talk about currents in Greenland and populations of rabbits. The tests you really gotta study for though.

Guy is one of the best profs that I've ever had. He is so nice, genuinely cares about his students, and is really funny. The class itself can be challenging, but he makes it more simple and explains things very well. Hope that I have him as a prof again!

I took a few classes with Dr Kember in my eng undergrad (8 years ago). I still think about his classes from time to time. He is highly intelligent and eccentric. The stress induced as he writes with one hand on the board and erases with the other is 100% worth the memories of being in his classes.

Great Prof, really cares about what you learn and take away from his class. His methods and teaching styles may seem a little hectic at first but once you get used to it it gets easier to follow along. The assignments can tend to be long but Dr. Kember and his team are always there to answer any questions. He definitely makes learning math fun.

Best Prof in the department! going to take his stats elective course just off of how good he was with the very much dreaded differential equations course. He only cares that you learn

Dr. Kember is the pinnacle of the eccentric professor, but more than that, he is a teacher. He gets so excited about teaching that it is hard not to enjoy his lectures. He might be the smartest person I have ever met, but he is never condescending - explaining anything patiently if you ask him. Don't miss out on the best teacher I've seen at Dal.

really just wants to get us to learn and is trying to make up for the lack of learning that happens in first year. truly the best prof in terms of understanding how to get us to memorize information. this strat, although it works, is hard if you skip lectures because he doesn't go on any textbook. might truly be the smartest man i've ever met

He was tough at the beginning but took the time to make his notes clearer and more organized. Still, go to class, or you probably won't understand a good bunch. He expects some understanding from previous math courses but will answer doubts. His exams are fair, re-do his examples from lectures and the assignments, and you will be fine.

Prof Kember has an unconventional teaching style, but his genuine passion and concern for student learning make him a standout. Attend class, use the textbook, and try unstuck study - it really helps with exam prep. A challenging but rewarding course.

Guy Kember is by far the best professor I've come across. His grading scheme is very test heavy, but he wants students to succeed. He adapts the marking schemes of each test to ensure students get the best possible grade outcome, and is very understanding of school not being the only important thing in life. Go to lectures, he's hilarious.

Guy Kember is a hilarious prof, with a good personality that makes you want to listen. However, his notes are horrible and are not that useful without his narration. The course is hard, but if you do what he asks you to, you will get it. He uses his own techniques that you will not find online, so attending lectures and tutorials is a must.

Guy is the best professor I've ever had. He is an amazing person and has a real talent to break down complex topics and keep you engaged the whole time. 4 tests made up 80% of the grade but they were extremely fair and he dropped your worst test. The other 20% were 4 assignments that were manageable and good practice if you put in the work.

Guy's class was one of the first engineering courses where the teacher truly made the content enjoyable. His lectures are theory based to start but are really helpful near the test when he teaches applications. Dont be afraid if you dont understand everything immediately. Tests are easy if you understand HIS methods and are decent at algebra.

If you want to do well in his class go to office hours, and talk to him outside of class (when I stopped doing that my grade dropped from a A- to a B-. Sometimes I didn't understand what I didn't understand (if that makes sense) and Kember has an act of finding exactly where you are going wrong. GO TO LECTURES and ask questions!

TRULY an amazing dude who is very passionate about the material. His lectures were very enjoyable and comedic. The main issue is, however, his method of teaching. He talks in riddles and his lessons are the last thing from straight-forward and simple to follow. Very smart man, but perhaps a bit too smart to be teaching an entry-level course.

While it may be hard to grasp what he is talking about with his riddles, analogies and eccentric thinking, he is easily one of the best Profs if you know what you are doing

great prof

It feels like Dr Kember is one of the smartest people I have met. Although his lectures can sometimes be confusing in the end it always gets cleared up. He is very accessible outside class so if you take the initiative to figure out what you don't understand right away you will be fine. I think he is a huge improvement from Dr Yao.
