Good teacher. Needs to learn alternative ways to relate subject matter at times when the majority of class is having difficulty understanding (eg functions). Being a elementary principal he at times addresses the class like they were 10 years old. He is talented though and will surely iron out his skill.
Very easy teacher. If you want an A you need to seriously take his classes, i am looking forward to taking 124 with him im sure it will be easy.
James is absolutely the best math teacher I have ever had. I didn't like math before because no one could explain it that clear as he does. I recommend him to everybody. He is extremly helpful and he has a very nice sence of humor. Just the best teacher ever. I wish every teacher will be like HIM. James Kuzma is the best!!!!!!!
Sweet. Very good professor. Wants everyone to get good grades.
Great prof!! SUPER NICE!!! Wish they were all like him, college would be a very fun experiense if all prof took after him!! Wants his students to succeed, and get good grades! Quizs every class but if you don't get it right he lets you redo the problem. You do not leave without getting it right. Makes math fun, LOVE this class!
Great teacher
Mr. Kuzma is an awesome teacher. The most understandable math teacher I have ever had. He is very clear in his teaching style, and he makes things seem so simple and easy! Would definately take him again! Plus...He's easy to look at, if you know what I mean..
Very Great Teacher. The best Math teacher I've ever taken. If you don't understand math going in you'll definately have an understanding leaving.
Mr. Kuzma is the best Math teacher ever. He is very helpful, and wants you to understand. The tests are not difficult if you have done your homework. It's important to attend class, because he'll explain over and over if necessary. And he's soooooo hot, it won't hurt you to look at him. He's such an eye candy!
Very effective teaching skills!
Very easy to understand teacher. Very nice person started off class with a riddle. He sometimes goes over notes a little fast just write em down and he will explain later. Awesome teacher!
Great teacher!
HANDS DOWN the BEST math teacher! Math has always been a headache to me, but he really made me understand (& even like) it. He's beautiful inside and out, I LOVE HIM!! Quiz end of every class, review day before test, didn't collect homework (do 'em still). If he were teaching more higher math classes, I'd take him in a heartbeat.
Kuzma is awesome! He is great at explaining everything and going as slow as needed. He is fun I doubt you will leave with out him making you smile
BEST Math teacher EVER! I took him twice and if he taught 124 I would take him again in a heartbeat!! AWESOME teacher! He makes math fun and really cares about all of his students getting good grades. If you aren't the best at math and are looking for a great teacher, TAKE KUZMA!! : )
He was the best math teacher I've ever had. Explains material well. Very helpful when you have questions. Tests aren't too difficult, just study and ask questions. He's understanding and very nice! I would definetly recommend!!
the best teacher! math has never been so easy!
He is awesome! he makes math seem easy! The best ever!
definitely somebody you should take. he's extremely nice and funny and explains everything if you don't understand. attendance isn't mandatory but if you miss class then it's easy to get lost in what's going on.
If you have signed up for his class, you made the right choice. If not, you are missing out. Sad I might not have another professor like him. He is truly great at his job, and could definitely teach some professors on how to properly teach college students. He gets 5/5 and two thumbs up.
Was So helful, Lectures are crystal clear, homework is to your benefit but not mandatory... Extra credit for quizes... If you need help he will go thru it til you understand and very patient... Easy A if your show up and stay for class and do some work... Enjoy!
Very helpful, homework is to your benefit but not mandatory. Extra credit for quizes and you don't leave till you get it right. You can takr the final twice. If you need help he will go through it until you understand and very patient. Easy A if your show up for class and do some work. Enjoy!
Really well organized teacher!!! Great teaching style, easy to understand, review after every lecture with a mini quiz to see if you understood which was extra credit which always helps... What he teaches is exactly what's on the test. Overall REALLY good experience!! Easy A if you go to class, take some notes, and everything else was follow.
The teacher is extremely helpful for those concepts you don't quite understand. His grading is great, he's extremely fun and kind to students. I highly recommend him.
Excellent Professor! I did not do so well in Math until I took him! Now I understand it crystal clear. He is good. He breaks it down so you can understand.
AWESOME teacher. He really does break things down for you.Very patient, funny, and polite. Many probably hate math as i do but he will make it crystal clear. I wish i had a teacher like this one in highschool would have helped sooo much. I look forward to taking him again. THANK YOU PROF K!!!. take him you wont regret it,
I LOVE this teacher. I wish he taught every subject at CSN. I actually enjoy going to his class and I have always hated math. He is funny, nice, helpful and knows everything(I'm pretty sure he is a genius). I plan to try to get him every semester that I can. It's because of him I am finally starting to understand math, which is an absolute miracle!
Hands down the best math teacher I've had. He's very passionate about teaching and wants everyone to learn.
He's great! I'm taking him for Math 95 and I have already signed up for his 96 class. I have never been good at math and I have never enjoyed it but I really like his teaching style. He assigns homework for practice but never collects it. As long as you attend the class it's really easy to keep up on the lessons and get good grades on the tests.
This teacher is excellant. very passionate about the student being able to learn. easy learning techniques and formulas to be able to solve to problems much easier. attend class every time and you will get an A. He said if you are not able to factor by the end of the semester than he would refund your money.
DO THE HOMEWORK OR FAIL THE CLASS... It is a super simple class, the professor cares and will take the time to make sure you learn. Two chances at the final... If you fail this class, DROP OUT OF SCHOOL...
I had a lot of math anxiety prior to taking this class. This instructor was the most patient and easygoing instructor I have ever had. He actually made me enjoy math after years of math anxiety. I have recommended him to everyone I know who wants to succeed in math. I will take his classes again. Not bad to look at, either.
He is a fabulous teacher!!! So helpful, so good at teaching Math. I never received anything lower than a 97%. Loved his class!
He is an excellent teacher, one of my top 3 all time favorite teachers. He insist that everyone understands what is going on in the class. HMWK is not required but is a valuable asset when it comes time to take the test. He is very professional and presents the math problems in a very understandable formula.
very very easy class. i hadn't taken math in a while so i was kind of being taught for the second time, and i learned it quick. you HAVE TO do the homework, or you will be lost when you come into class the next week. you ca tell the ones that don't. test are commutative and easy if you study.
Great teacher!! easy class. funny guy. really does his best to make sure you understand all the material. got an A on every test. i hope to have him for all my math classes.
AWESOME TEACHER!
AWESOME TEACHER. I really liked the way he teaches.
Dr. Kuzma is a professor that loves what he does. His enthusiasm for math and care for his students are exceptional. I have never had a professor with the patience that he demonstrates. I have never liked math until I took his Math 95 class. I hope to have him again in Math 96.
I do not not know how I would have passed Math 95 without this instructor. This is the first time I have ever taken a math class and actually felt like I understood what was going on.
Professor Kuzma was the greatest math teacher I have ever had. He kept his students awake with his quirky comments and jokes. Not only was he an entertainer, but he was an excellent instructor. He showed each problem to students step by step, ensuring a good grade for everyone. I would 100% recommend him to anyone.
Best professor! I got an A+ in the class. He explains things so well. Just make sure to do the homework and you are basically handed the A. I got 100% on the first 3 tests and a 97% on the final. Best teacher! Super nice too
Mr. Kuzma is an amazing teacher. Very patient and very willing to explain anything. He explains things in a way that is easy to understand and if you don't understands it he will explain it in a different way until you can understand. Wish he could teach 126/127 and every other math class I have. Great Great Great teacher!!!
The only problem with this teacher is that he is not at the school full-time to teach my other math classes. OUSTANDING teacher, would recommend to everyone. If you get a bad grade here, it's your bad for not doing your homework, showing up, or not listening.
By far the best math teacher at CSN for the lower classes. Really cares about you as the student and trying to help you understand the language of Math. If you haven't taken math in a long time take this teacher.
Mr. Kuzma is one of the eat teaches I've ever had. It's hard to find teachers that actually want their students to pass n understand the subject. He is very helpful and makes math interesting. He's also a funny guy which just makes the class more interesting. Math is already a hard subject for me so I was dreading taking it but Mr. Kuzma has helped me understand thing I have never been able to, it sucks he doesn't teach above math 96. Take him if u need to!!! He's awesome!
Mr. Kuzma is a really great professor! This is my third time taking Math 95. I'm glad I finally found this professor because I understood his teaching methods. Math is not my best subject, but Mr. Kuzma makes it much more understandable and wants you to pass. If you do the homework, attend all classes, and do your best you'll pass. Never give up!
This dude is awesome, don't normally rate but had to for his sake! Take him, he makes class fun, he's hilarious and will go over problem till class knows it, sometimes will have you do a problem and you can't leave till it's right, good tactic. A++++
Best professor I have ever had. Great with teaching and beadwork. Too bad he is not allowed to teach higher level math classes.
Professor Kuzma is amazing, He genuinely cares for his students and wants them to understand, if something isn't making sense he will take the time to help you. He's hilarious and a great guy. I took him for 3 semesters if that says anything. Highly recommend him.
Really laid back and entertaining. I had a "quiz" (One or two problems) after every class and he wouldn't let you leave till you got it right. If you were struggling on it he or one of my classmates would work out the entire thing with you. Best Professor I've had so far.
My husband took this professor for his math class and says he is an awesome math teacher and really enjoys going to his class. He also likes the questions Mr. Kuzma gives at the end of the class which requires you to think outside the box. I wish Mr. Kuzma taught higher math classes as my husband would take him again.
I hate school with all my heart but Mr. James Kuzma is the best teacher of all time and I'm super serious. He's definitely going down in the Hall of Fame. I would highly recommend him and you won't regret it or your money back guaranteed. If you don't like him there's something wrong with you. I wish he was my dad. He's the real MVP. God bless him.
Professor Kuzma was very helpful. He will take his personal time to help you. Very laid back but will still get what needs to be done, done. My only problem is he will sometimes go too fast while going over something but if you let him know he will go slower! He made my first semester of college great!
Hands down one of the best teachers I have had. He also makes it extremely easy.
Best math teacher I've ever had. Math has been a struggle. If I would have had teachers like him in grade school I would have spent less time in summer school. Funny guy. On a side note, all you ladies firing off hotness ratings, I have seen him with his wife at the airport. I'm thinking he's probably happy. Chill.
Awesome teacher! I hate math and I thought I would never be able to pass but this teacher takes his time and helps you get it. I asked a lot of questions and he always answered them. I took this for MATH 95 wish he was teaching other classes.
Very clear lectures. Nothing is allowed during tests, however study guide is given that mirrors the test. Great teacher! Homework is not mandatory for class, but you should probably do it if you want to pass the test.
Kuzma is probably the best math professor you will ever have. Hands down. He explains everything in a way that even if you don't know anything about math when you started you'll understand by the end of the day. Pop quizzes usually at the end of the day but helps you through it. Easy A. Be prepared for nerdy uncle jokes.
Very clear, very patience.
Mr. Kuzma is by far the best math teacher I've ever had. I understood fractions and how to work with them so much easier. I appreciate him so much for helping me through the steps. He takes his time to explain math problems and will explain them until you understand it. Very patient, funny, and great teacher!
What a great instructor!!! I just took Math 116 this summer and it was awesome! He really helps his students and wants you to learn and succeed! TAKE HIS CLASS!!!
The best math teacher I've had. He's patient and willing to help. Explains concepts in a way that is easy to understand. Wish he taught 181. Humorous at times. Doesn't make you feel stupid for asking a question or asking to explain it in a different way. Very positive and upbeat. Very Very helpful.
I have taken this instructor for math 95 and math 96 and he is a really cares for his students to learn and be successful. I am TERRIBLE at math and had I done all homework and actually studied for all exams (not just the final) I know I would have aced this class. Wish he taught math 124 :(
I have taken this instructor for two Math classes now and really wish he was able to teach higher level math courses. If you haven't taken a math course in sometime or simple don't feel confident in your math abilities this is the instructor to take. His reviews are great and really takes time to make sure you understand the material.
Professor Kuzma is the best math teacher I have ever had! Before his class, I was a terrible math student and hated everything math related. He often jokes that he'll turn us all into math majors, and after this semester I might just consider it. If you don't understand math all that well or need a refresher course this is the professor for you!
I had Professor prior to this class. I love how well he explains how to do the problems. He also won't continue to the next assignment until everyone is comfortable with the prior assignment. If you are like me, not very good at picking Math up quickly, then he is someone I'd recommend taking. He's funny and helpful and easy on the eyes.
Professor Kuzma genuinely cares about his students and their education. He is probably the best math teacher I have ever had. I never felt like I wasn't learning. I hope to take another one of his classes soon!
Kuzma was by far the best math teacher I have ever taken. He is clear with all his examples and helped students with whatever he could. I would definitely recommend taking this class.
Great professor,very clear
I normally don't do well in math, but he took the time to make sure the class understood what he was teaching. He wants to make sure everybody understands, and will take the time to go over anything. He makes math interesting, and I always look forward to coming into his class. Best professor ever!
James Kuzma is probably the best math teacher I've had EVER. He is very clear when he teaches, he isn't serious all the time, and he really cares about all his students. 12/10 would take again.
Mr. Kuzma is my favorite math Professor I've ever taken. The only thing that goes for your grades are the exams, but the first two are only 10 questions and the last one is 20. There is NO reason for someone to fail his class. He is hilarious with his stories and Star Wars puns! You WILL need to do the homework or you won't pass. Great professor!!
Amazing professor! He's very funny & caring. He goes over any problem you're stuck on from the homework and will work through it with you to make sure you understand, & goes over EVERY problem on the study guides. And what's on the study guide is what's on the quizzes, but with different problems. Keep up w/ the hw, understand it, and you're set!(:
Prof. Kuzma is awesome. He has helped me understand and view math in a new light. I no longer hate math because I finally understand. I took this class online and failed with an F. I was totally lost, then I found Prof. Kuzma here on rate my prof and took the chance. I am glad I did because honestly he is a game changer for learning math!!
Best math teacher ever. He gives homework and goes over any problems you had in class. Also goes over everything that will be on test and provides study guide with the same questions. Goes over entire study guide also. I understand math so much better after taking his class. He jokes he will turn you into a math major. For me it might just be true
Kuzma was a great instructor! He is not difficult to understand when explaining the problems. He gives pop quizzes but it's just silly information, just try your test on it and he gives you credit for just participating in it. I will definitely be taking him again!
I will definitely take his class again
He makes Math so easy to understand, and will go over something with you until you understand the concept. Would definitely take him again!
By far the best professor I've ever had and possibly will have. He genuinely cares for his students, is passionate about his subject, and has hilarious lectures on top of being willing to help you out and explain anything to you til you get it. I hope he reads these so he can know how truly loved he is by all his students. Will be taking him again.
He was so amazing! I recommend him to all my friends when they are looking for a good professor
Hes such a great professor! Very nice and cares about his students passing.
I had him for an online class through Aleks but we still had to go to the campus for whatever reason, that's not the point though. Whenever I was confused, he explained it to me in a way I would understand and if I was still confused, he explained it in a different way, which I very much appreciated. I highly recommend him.
He is by far the absolute best professor you can get. he genuinely cares about everyone and their grades. he teaches multiple ways to solve problems which was a blessing. most teachers only teach one way and he will teach every single way. he makes things that I've always struggled with a cakewalk! i wish i could take him for every math.
I took him for Math 95 and 96 and he is the best. Being a principal at a high school helps him connect with students and help them learn. He gives out homework, but doesn't grade it's more of you do it to help yourself. He also gives reviews for tests that help you actually prepare. He is funny, down to earth, and really makes sure you get it.
I have never liked taking a math class before until Mr. Kuzma's. His lectures are straight forward and clear as day. He breaks it down for you when you don't understand something. He made math enjoyable. He also had some quirky jokes to tell.
I took Professor Kuzma for math 95 and now I am taking him for math 120. He is so amazing and makes sure you actually understand the content he is teaching. His zoom meetings are fun and always end with an one question quiz which he gives you plenty of time to work on. The textbook is very useful and free.
Professor Kuzma is such an amazing math professor. I am so glad I chose him for MATH 120 instead of anybody else. I feel like this is one of the only classes I finished that I actually learned something in. He is a super understanding and empathetic professor. As someone who sucks at math, Professor Kuzma explained math in a way anybody could learn
Honestly one of the best teachers at CSN. If you need to take a math class hes the best teacher to take he explains everything very well and he goes over a lot of examples and he tries his best to get you ready for the exams. Do your homework and ask any questions you have and hell answer it and explain everything for you. Take the class!
I really enjoyed his lectures he was very clear and if you did not understand it he will go over it with you and answer any questions you had.
Honestly he is the best teacher you can have. Its a nice and relaxing class that could be difficult but he teaches so well that math is actually fun and easy the explanations he give are very clear and if you have any questions he will go step by step until you understand it.
Makes teaching fun and gives great feedback on the tests.
I never liked math until this year, he made math fun and enjoyable.
With Mr. Kuzma, there has never been a topic that I truly did not understand. He explains things well and he's a hilarious dude.
I've failed every single college math class I've taken, except his. He makes this so easy to understand.
Best teacher in CCSD, just do your pop quizzes and exams and you will be good to go
I had Dr. Kuzma for two semesters, math 126 and 127. I absolutely love his class. His class is easy if you pay attention. You must do the homeworks and you need to do the tests to get an A. He gives extra credit points when you show your work on the tests. Attendence is not mandatory but it is recommended. Take his class for an easy math class.
Prof. Kuzma is the best Math prof. I have. He makes corny jokes that keep the class engaging. If you take his class, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. You will definitely learn with him and ASK QUESTIONS if you don't understand because he will help you. You have to put the work in and not be on your phone in class lol. He's a cool guy.
He is the nicest guy and is genuinely hilarious.
He was great, im literally so sad he's leaving to be superintendent. I don't know what I would do without him oh my.
Professor Kuzma makes this math class surprisingly engaging. His clear explanations and willingness to help make a big difference. I found using Unstuckstudy along with the free textbook really helpful for mastering the concepts.
