Very good professor. He understands that not every student he has has had a strong prior education in math. He works with you to make sure you understand concepts.

Wonderful Professor! He explains the material very well and is one of the few professors who care if their students pass or fail. Strongly suggest!!!!

He is a great teacher, he doesn't explain everything well. All I do in class is my MyMathLabs and ignored his lectures unless its something super complex and I really can't understand. He offers a lot of extra credit(JUST DO IT), He's grading system is easy. HE CARES for his students. The class might get boring sometimes sitting there for 3 hours.

Very good. He was always willing to help. Do the homework and attend class. There is no reason that you can't get at least a B. The practice test are basically the same as the actual test, but slightly different questions.

Go to class, do the homework (all of it, every time) and the extra credit. If you do you'll easily pass. If you don't get at least a B in his class you shouldn't be in college. Best math teacher I've ever had. Do whatever it takes to get into his section.

He was a great teacher! Very helpful and clear when explaining things. Gave many opportunities for extra credit and opportunities to opt out of the final. He was awesome, definitely take him!

Really good professor , willing to help you out whenever you ask. Lecture were quite boring but i enjoyed the class. If you do your work it is an easy A

Dr. Noring is a great calculus professor. He has an incredible passion for math, and it shows. In addition, he offers plenty of extra credit opportunities for his students. As long as you show up to his class, complete the online homework, and study for the tests, an A is completely plausible.

Absolutely wonderful teacher. It was because of Mr. Noring's helpfulness and passion that I thought I had a chance at math and now I am going on to pursue a math based degree which I never thought would happen. He gives you plenty of opportunities for extra credit and takes notice and rewards you if you improve. Work hard and you will do well.

Professor Noring gives you a lot of opportunity to make bonus and extra credit. If you can't pass his class it is because you did not try. He loves math to the point of being nerdy beyond comprehension. Take his class, show up for class, do the assignments and best part is, he gives you practice tests that almost replicate the test. Nice guy too

He goes on tangents that makes what he's trying to explain really confusing but he makes it so that you can get an A in his class. Attendance isn't mandatory but he gives EC for showing up, & PLENTY other chances for EC. (Do every EC he offers & you'll get an A) Study guides are test w/ diff #s. Take him for calc 1 & 2. He's always available 4 help

Fantastic teacher. Is very clear about the requirements of the course. Gives practice tests and tons of extra credit. You'd be an idiot to take calc 2 from anyone else.

Wonderful teacher. Very energetic about math. Book is not needed. Bonus points are awarded. Challenging class made much easier by Norings positivity, approachability, and enthusiasm. Practice tests are given before each exam which helps a great deal. I definitely recommend.

Professor Noring is the BEST math professor at KSU. I will recommend if you are a nontraditional student and need to understand Calculus, I recommend you taking his class. He is the BEST. take my word.

Professor Noring is the best math professor at KSU. I highly recommend you taking his. If you are a nontraditional student and don't understand math, I recommend you taking him. There need to be more professor like him. He is a "A" in my book.

Professor Noring loves to teach and understands his students. You can’t take his class and just do enough to get a good grade, you will learn the course content and some important life lessons(if you dare to listen- he’ll turn out to be one of the five most impressionable people every person meets in life). I wish more teachers were like him!!

Professor Noring was easily one of the best math teachers i have ever had. You have to work for your grade in this class. He allows you to exempt your final if you go to class a certain amount of times and get a 90 or above on the 4 tests. Math lab is crucial to get a A. He gives a study guide for every exam which is the test just different numbers

His tests start easy, but by the final he ramps up the difficulty a lot. Don't be fooled in the early days. Go to SI sessions if they're offered.

He's so wonderful! He's willing to help you if you just do the work!! Do the mymathlab and you will surely get an A. He gives study guides before tests and the tests just have different numbers. He knows his subject well- he's the type to make up questions off the top of his head. ASK QUESTIONS!!!!

This guy LOVES math! But that's a good thing! You have to put in the effort to get the grade you want. Gives plenty of opportunity for extra credit. 0 complaints but the only thing I would have liked would have been an overview of the entire course on the first day of class. Definitely take his class.

Calculus II is a tough class however Dr. Noring provides study guides for each exams that are extremely helpful. Don't skip class and do the Math Lab it will help in the end for your final grade. The final is long and barley had time to finish so you need to know your stuff. I made a C, but I'm not that good in math so if your like me, take him

Professor Noring is one of the most helpful professors there is. Any questions you have he is more than happy to help you. Sometimes in his explanations he gets a little carried away and goes to in-depth. You use a lot of the text book, and you have to do your homework in the class. The lectures are long and boring, but its a math class.

Dr. Noring is a good teacher, and makes Calculus easy. He is an engineer, so he constantly explains how the stuff you are learning is applied to the real world. I find that extremely helpful. I hate math classes that concentrate on pure theory without any practice. However, I believe the class was not as rigorous as it should have been.

Do mymathlab, show up to class, do mymathlab, get an A or B depending on how good you are at calc.

Dr Noring is a good teacher. His lectures can get somewhat monotonous but you can tell he really knows what he is doing. At the beginning of each class he worked My Math Lab problems but when one has already done those problems this activity can become somewhat disageeable.

This class is a lot of work, but if you are a good student then you will do well. Go to every class, do MyMathLab, and study for the tests. I don't think he is the best at lecturing because he lacks organization. This is a do it yourself class and he frequently says that, but he sets you up for success if you are a good student.

I worked 70+ hours of MyMathLab, missed 3 classes, went to SI religiously, went to office hours 3 times, & managed an 86 B. I taught myself through MyMathLab & asked him questions in lecture. I still took notes, but they are very theory-based & not many problems worked. He goes off on tangents at times but still a very good professor! I RECOMMEND.

Dr. Noring is one of the most sincerely good people you will ever meet. If you introduce yourself, he will remember you long after you leave his class. He gives ample opportunity to get extra points by going to tutoring and doing optional homework. It is an extremely hard subject, but he is the one you want to take to get a high grade. 1010

He gives you extra credit that you can EARN. HE cares deeply for his students and is very intelligent. I took calc-1 years ago and still pulled off an A in his class. His lectures are from the book, so if you don't understand just refer back to the book. I CANNOT SEE WHY WOULD ANY STUDENT SEE HIS CLASS AS CONFUSING. HE IS PURE AWESOMENESS!!!

Dr. Noring is a fantastic teacher and a great guy. I am really impressed by how much he cares about his students and how much effort he puts into his class. He knows his material very well, and gives students every opportunity imaginable for extra help. I don't particularly enjoy integrals, but I couldn't be mad because I had such a great teacher!

Dr. Noring was a wonderful professor! He provided extra help outside of his office hours every Friday for over an hour ( something most professors do not do). He was always willing to answer questions and made sure that every student was on the same page with the material presented. He likes to get to know his students, which is great!

Do your homework! His quizzes are based on them and so are his tests. Attend the SI sessions. Every little bit helps.

Dr. Noring is awesome! He really cares about his students and wants everyone to do well. Calc 2 is a hard class but I went into every test knowing what to expect because he lays out his expectations. Wish he were teaching calc 3!

Professor Noring wants all his students to give it their all and succeed. I recommend for students who are willing to work for it.

Noring is awesome! He gave study guides for each test, made MML optional for bonus points, told cool stories in class of how math relates to the real world. He goes slow through the material to make sure everyone know it. Definitely willing to help students that come to him. Highly recommend, I got an A in his class if it helps at all.

Dr Noring Is an amazing professor. He works so hard and try so hard to get his students to get an A in class. And he make the class so convenient even when you are not able to make to the test he can work around your schedule. I will take him again for other math classes.

This guy is cool, he's pretty awkward and cracks jokes that sort of goofy funny. But you can tell he only means good and you can tell he's a sweetheart. Gives abunch of extra credit you just gotta stay persistent and do it and it'll be rewarding in the end. I got an A and opted out of taking the final. He's a nice guy and relatively easy. Take him

If you don't want to work hard, don't even bother to take it! You HAVE TO do your MyMathLab! Simply because to study math one must practice it. Yes, it is close to 300 practicing exercises, but those who really work on them have greater grades on tests and final grade. Do your MML and you won't regret! He is ready to help if you are ready to work!

Overall, this was a good class. I attended every lecture, did most of the homework, & managed a B. I would of had an A, however I did not prepare well enough for the 2nd exam. Noring clearly knows what he's talking about, however in order to understand his lecture, it helps to do the homework while he's lecturing in order to understand the concepts

I appreciated that there were many opportunities to earn bonus points and improve your grade. The MyMathLab was not required but was very helpful in grasping and practicing the concepts taught and bonus points were given for completion. The professors inclulsion of practice exams were very helpful and lets you know what is expected on the exams.

Great guy I really enjoyed this class and I hate math. He wants you to understand the stuff and really enjoys teaching it, goes out of his way to help you. You if show up you get extra credit. I loved this class, I would take him again if I have a chance to!

As long as you complete the optional homework and do the practice exams, you will do great in his class. He is very enthusiastic, which made the class better.

The DFW (D's, F's, Withdraw) rate for calculus is outrageous nationwide. Thats only because the teacher doesn't prepare you for the tests. Dr. Noring is one of the best at preparing his students for success. I have taken numerous of math professors and Dr. Noring is the best. Take him if you would like to succeed in any math class.

He is a very nice guy and you can tell he has a passion for calculus. He gives practice tests which are formatted like the test. If I'm behind on the material I can usually catch up with a night or two of intense studying of the practice test. He gives extra credit through optional homework and attendance, and makes it possible to exempt the final.

Great prof! This dude is dedicated to His students. Will stay after And do however much you need to do, just ask. He really does Provide to the tools so you can succeed but you must seek them out. DO YHE EXTA CREDIT HOMEWORK. That got me an A

So thankful I randomly chose him for calc 1 and i'm so glad I snagged him for calc II. Do the extra credit, go to review lessons, and do the practice exam over and over until you get it all right and you will do just fine. Super nice guy too, you can tell he cares! Just do your part and he will go above and beyond on his own behalf.

Professor Noring is easily one of the best math professors I have ever had. He is very dedicated to helping you do well. He offers to stay after class if you need help and gives excellent review sessions the day before the test. The homework is extra credit and will help you ace the tests. I highly recommend Professor Noring.

Dr. Noring loves what he teaches, and it shows. This is a difficult class that requires many hours of work outside of class, in addition to the many SI sessions Dr. Noring arranges. It is very important that you have a good understanding of precalculus prior to taking this course. Do well on the practice tests to do well on the exams.

His classes are easy As. He give a LOT of extra credits. He gives extra points for doing homework. Tests were so easy. He will let you skip the final If you did well on the tests. He is ready to go above and beyond to help you succeed and get a good grade. If you take this class, you should get an A

Dr. Noring was awesome. Gives clear lectures straight from the textbook for easy reference. He gives you extra credit for doing your homework. Class is definitely an easy A, just make sure you do My Math Lab.

Great teacher overall. Lots of extra credit that other teacherss do not offer. Take him for Calc 1 and Calc 2

He's always down to explain things, and he has an SI leader that is very helpful.

Great Professor. For once, someone taught me how calculus is used in real life. I learnt a lot in his class and would definitely take him again 100 times. Gives pop quizzes but reviews them before the actual quizzes. His tests are based on his practice tests. He gives tons of extra credit

Dr. Noring really cares for his students. Calculus II is not an easy subject, but he does what he can to help you. However, he sometimes gets distracted and has to speed through the material at the end of class. He does give a lot of extra credit though. As long as you do the extra credit and go to the SI sessions, you should get an A

Jon Noring is an amazing professor. I never liked math - before I took his class. He gives lots of quizzes and HW but only counts the five best quizzes and HW is all bonus points. He strives to make everyone understand and works incredibly hard to grade quickly. I'd recommend him easily, especially to those who have struggled in math in the past.

I'm not really a techy or mathy person. I am good at math, but I don't love it. Dr. Noring makes Calc 2 easy, simple, and methodical. It's hard stuff, he gives 4 tests, but he gives practice tests that are identical. Do those, you'll be completely fine. I scored no less than 99 on tests, and exempted final. Lectures are all you need, don't buy book

Best math professor I have ever had. I took him for pre-calculus and calculus. He gives you extra credit for just doing your homework. He always takes time out of class to answer any questions about the homework. There are 4 tests, and if you have good test grades and show up to class, you dont have to take the final exam.

I took AP Calc in high school so I just took this class for credit! Homework is optional & for bonus points which is awesome. He's always willing to answer questions and go through problems people have trouble with. He gives study guides that are exactly like the test! If you do good on tests, come to class, and do some HW you can exempt the final!

Loved this Professor! I had him for Pre-calculus and he was one of my favorite professors. He's very clear on grading and is also funny at times. I opted out of the final by passing all of my quizzes. Homework is extra credit and is meant to help you. I would recommend him to anyone, he's very helpful and he cares about his job.

Professor Noring is very passionate about the subjects he teach . He prepares his students for Calculus and is lenient with grading . He is nice and caring and has the desire to teach students. If you have a question, he will answer it . It does take a lot of studying and you have to be consistent with practicing. Bang your head against the wall

One of the nicest, funniest (even though I dont think he is trying to be), and enjoyable professors at KSU. He gives you a practice exam before the actual exam that is VERY similar (he just tweeks each question a tiny bit). He is very good at explaining mathematical concepts. WONDERFUL professor. No text book, just mymathlab.

Glad this year started strong, especially with a great professor! Thanks!

Class is not mandatory, but you get extra credit for showing up and if you miss enough points will be deducted. If you put the time in then you will pass the class, but you have to do the homework, go to the SI sessions, and ask him for help. He is very willing to help and does everything he possibly can to help you learn the material.

Take him for Calc 2. Really helpful and extremely kind. Wants the student to succeed so much that he gives chances to earn bonus points and gives many resources for the exams. It's Calc 2 so it is not an easy course, but he makes it as easy as it can be. One of my favorite classes I've taken at KSU. Thanks Dr. Noring!

Calc II isn't an easy class, but Dr. Noring does a great job of making it as simple as it can possibly be and his passion seriously translates. 4 exams plus a final(opt-out option)-practice exams uploaded to d2l(close to the real thing), optional homework(bonus points), quizzes(based on hw & top grades used), open to questions. great experience.

This is the best professor I have ever taken. He sent us an email at the end of the semester offering to us his help and advice on our future academic journies. He is such a kind man who cares for his students. I quote: "I want to have a problem at the end of the year. I want everyone to get As in this class and for KSU to be like: WHAT!?" TAKE HIM

He helped students a lot to make "A" and gave lots of extra credit opportunities. He posted practice exam each test that was really helpful for real exam. He is passionate and his questions and answers are always clear. Take him! Easy A!

Professor Noring is an amazing teacher. I thoroughly learned Calculus II material and found it fairly straightforward. He gives extra credit and is always available to answer questions before and after class. It is evident that he cares for his students. Personally I thought Calculus II was easy, however a lot of students struggled.

Professor Noring is the best math teacher Ive had thus far. I am a dual enrolled student who skipped many courses in math and therefore don't have a firm grasp of everything so far in math. To make matters worse, my Calc 1 teacher was horrible and I learned almost nothing. Noring was able able to teach at my level and I ended up with a high A.

Very smart man, and great professor. Those 2 are very hard to find. Highly recommend him. Gives a lot of extra credit, and is always willing to help you out. If you have to take Calc III, take it with him. Cannot recommend him enough.

Hands down, one of the best math teachers I ever had. Cares A LOT about his students, heck the guy stayed up one night till 4am working on a practice test! Shows how much he cares about teaching! Definitely recommend him!

Concepts are not hard but the tests given varied greatly from the homework. Usually only works out an easy version of a past test on D2L and the actual exam will test your mathematical limits. Opt out of cumulative final only if you score above 80 on all 4 tests, 70% avg on all quizzes, attend 22/26 lectures, complete all hw before due dates.

Nice guy but this class is not setup well for success. Class is based on 650 point system. 4 tests 400, final 200, pop quizzes make up the last 50. One bad test and you'll be playing catch up the rest of the year. Bonus points are given but usually in 1/3rds. Find hardest problems in the book because the test reflects those problems.

Exams are difficult, but it's calc 2, so you can't expect it to be easy. Besides that, he is one of the best professors I've ever had. He truly cares for each student, and wants you to succeed! He is VERY knowledgeable in many fields, which at times causes him to go on a tangent during lectures, and tends to only work easy problems, but take him!!!

Gives a TON of extra credit, and if you meet a list of a few requirements, you can exempt the final! Although he does give practice exams that are identical to the real test (a few numbers changed here and there), those few changes can make the test much harder since it's upper level math. Trust me, if you need to take calculus, this man is beast!!

Dr. Noring made Calc 3 a very easy class. He has 4 tests & a mini quiz at the start of every class. HW is optional but if you do it quizzes & tests are easy. He also gives practice exams for every test, same format & questions just different numbers. If you have a B avg. on tests, quiz & attend most classes and do homework you can also exempt final

Professor Jon Noring is the only professor I have had at Kennesaw State University who has Exam Reviews before exams for about 3 hours of his own time outside of regular class periods. He posts practice exams . During Office Hours, he is more than patient and helpful in answering questions . Do Homework and Attend Class, and you will do well.

Took him for calc 2 and 3. Expect to spend a lot of time in this class. Come on, it's calc 3. Exempted the final by simply working hard, not being smart. Excellent class if you aren't looking for a surprise. There are no curveballs. Gives practice exams that are identical to real test. Do those and easy homework and you'll be fine.

Dr. Noring was one of my favorite teachers this semester, and even though its for an extremely hard class he made it much easier to get through. Dr. Noring provides a ton of chances to raise your grade and do well. The only "downside" to his class is that there is a quiz over the last lecture almost every day, but if you go to class you'll do well.

Noring is very knowledgeable in math & gives extra credit, he tends to go on tangents A LOT, especially for engineering related things, which are not on the test. VERY easy to zone out in his class since he just scrolls through the book and talks, & his tests are at times unnecessarily tough. Although the best calc prof at KSU, he's overrated.

Definitely one of my fav math professors!! He's a nice guy and gives you a lot of opportunity to raise your grade and grades leniently!(all homework is extra credit) However I didn't learn much from the lecture that I didn't learn from the book, and the book was a lot quicker to learn from! Needless to say I spent most of the class on ESPN.

He's the type of professor who can fill up a white board in an instant. He tends to lecture very quickly and go on tangents, and typically only works out the easiest problems (hard ones are on the exams). You NEED to brush up on trig identities and functions, because they'll appear on exams. Overall the material is hard, but he's there for you.

While his engineering tangents (which are a lot) are interesting, they're not on the test. I feel like him teaching a pure math class such as calc 2 (as opposed to an engineering class) hinders him because he's SO knowledgeable. If you're an engineering major, you'll love him. If it's your last math class (i.e biology major), you'll zone out A LOT.

His lectures can be very confusing, so I recommend going to the SI sessions (extra credit). There is a quiz at the beginning of every class, but he takes the best two (and they help your grade). There's homework for everything learned in class, but counts as extra credit that can bump you almost two letter grades. I'm taking him again for Calc 3.

I took Dr. Noring for Calc 1 and Calc 3 (would have taken for Calc 2, but it didn't fit into my schedule). He genuinely loves the subject matter, and will gladly give examples of how the stuff being taught is actually applied in the real world. He basically hands you points; you study for quizzes with extra credit, so your best bet is to do the ec.

He is a tough instructor and expects you TO KNOW the material. Not just memorizing problems, but really understanding them is a clear focus by this instructor. He does give opportunity for lots of extra credit, but you must be willing to do the work. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT! You are expected to teach yourself and STUDY! DEFINITELY take his course!

STEM professors are usually tough & mean, but this guy is probably the nicest and most supportive one of them, AND is a great professor, which is an anomaly. At times tests were unnecessarily difficult, but it's calc 2, not 10th grade algebra. Tends to go on tangents, which leads to us zoning out. But overall, best STEM professor at KSU. Take him!!

Come prepared from day one! the syllabus tells you what to expect. WebAssign helped a lot but you don't want it to catch up to you. Also had SI (helped!) and exam study guides which you DEFINITELY need to look at. Overall I like how he tried to relate the class to normal life which by the end of the course you kinda come to appreciate.

Overall best Calc teacher there is. Relates almost everything to make things understandable to all. Offers 4-5 hours out of his own time multiple times a week to help students review, prepare, and study for his exams. Utilizes alot of trig in his problems, but its all to prepare you! Its calculus after all. Take him, take him, and take him.

Best Clac teacher at KSU. Took him for Calc 2&3 and it was great. He really cares about you learning the material and doing well. However with that its still calc and a lot of kids in the class did struggle. So make sure you do the homework and practice test. The homework is also a great way to get bonus points.

This guy is the best math teachers I have ever had in college. Wish I could have taken calc 1 and 2 w/him. Even if you don't like him personally he runs a fair class and finds a way to make calculus not as terrible as it could be. Do the homework, thoroughly review each practice exam he gives and you could easily pass w/o taking the final.

Professor Noring is great! He is a kind grader and you always know what is expected of you before an exam. He really cares and wants everyone to understand the material. Be sure to go to class and have the book. A lot of his exam questions are very similar to the examples in the book. The final is also optional.

Noring is the most knowledgable calc professor I've ever had but he conveys his information in a very dry way. Grading is out of 700 points: 100 for quizzes (which are nearly daily), 400 for tests (there are 4 of them), and 200 for the final (optional). Overall an easy class as long as you do the webassign assignments. Would take noring again!

Professor Noring is absolutely amazing! He really knows the course content and is able to teach it well. Attendance is not mandatory but he will give you a lot more bonus points if you show up to all of the classes. Practice exams/Extra Credit for every test and for the overall course. 10/10 great professor. A must take for Calc II or Calc III!!!

He was a phenomenal Calculus 3 professor. He made sure all students understood the material, and gives you a practice test before all exams, so students are prepared. He gives quizzes basically every class period so be prepared. But he also gives a lot of extra credit opportunities so he is setting you up for success in his class. 10/10 professor.

Seriously an awesome teacher, and person. First class I've been in at KSU that I've felt is designed for students to succeed, but he still makes you work for your grade. Attendance is "optional," but quizzes are usually at least once a week and can't be made up, plus you get bonus points for attending. If I had to take more math I'd take him.

Professor Noring is a kind and intelligent professor with a strong passion for Mathematics. If you can adapt to his teaching style, you will certainly do well. I would advise those who hate class quizzes and frequent tests not to take Noring. If you have to pick between Kennesaw and Marietta, pick the Kennesaw class as he teaches at both campuses.

Noring is great. His lectures often go off on unnecessary but interesting tangents, but he covers what he needs to. There are quizzes at the beginning of class over the lesson taught the previous day, and he reviews before them. He lets you use a cheat sheet on tests, and gives plenty of chances for extra credit. The textbook was extremely helpful.

He's a solid, well meaning teacher, who I have no real complaints against. Tests are good assessments of whether or not you have studied the material, not trivial, but enough to demonstrate your knowledge. Grading system is a little complex, but makes sense once you understand it. He was willing to talk both in and outside class, and tried to help.

Good professor. You'll have a quiz every class. Optional Cumulative Final Exam at the end. If you do well on quizzes and tests, you can easily get an A with all of the extra credit.

Professor Noring is an excellent teacher that I highly recommend to anyone in need of a math course. He continuously supports his students while providing great examples of how the subject matter applies to the real world. Also, his grading system for Calc 3 is the best I've ever experienced. It both encouraged me to learn and reduced my stress.

HW is extra credit, coming to class is extra credit... EASY A if you try just a little bit.. there's test over every chapter so your not bombarded to study too much information, and quizzes are on a daily basis but they're simple. He wants you to have an A! TAKE HIM

Good. Very good.

One of the best professors I have ever had. There's tons of extra credit and there was an optional final for my class. He's fantastic at teaching and explaining concepts as well.

Noring was great. He would often show random music videos and funny videos before class to get us in a better mood. Be prepared to hear the words "THIS IS NOT THAT HARD" about 50,000 times. He has practice tests that are identical to the real test.

One of the best professors I have had in college. He is SOO passionate about math. He is open for office hours and gives lots of extra credit opportunities. He is also willing to work with you in any way. Definitely take him if you have the opportunity.

If you fail one of his classes, it's your own fault. He makes everything very manageable, not to be confused with easy. Very quirky, as to be said with all super-involved math teachers. Gives perspective on how math is applied in real world scenarios.

He is very passionate about the subject and will help anybody who wants to do good in the class. There are plenty of bonus opportunities, DO THEM ALL, It helped me pass the class. He cares about his students and is very helpful in his office hours. A real gem this professor.

The thing with Noring is that in the starting you'll feel like he doesn't give a lot of extra credit and you'll never have enough points for a decent grade, but the extra credits add up and by the end you'll get 50ish points out of 700, which is just 20 points shy of an entire grade. Tests are tougher than practice tests. Recommend him.

Great Teacher .

Honestly, I just read the textbook while he was giving the lecture (from the textbook). He's pretty big on figuring things out on your own, so if you don't work well that way, do NOT take him. Other than that, the practice exams he posts give a good idea for the test, and he's a cool person. It's a lecture class, so no group activity things.

Calc 2 is one of the hardest classes you could ever take and Dr. Noring is probably one of your best bets in succeeding. I'm average in math, and I worked my butt off to get an A by religiously using Khan Academy and pouring over my lecture notes and his practice tests. Do all the extra credit, make a Khan Academy account, and get ready to cry.

If you plan on continuing on to higher math classes, Dr. Noring is the professor to take. He isn't easy, but if you try in his class, you will actually learn the material and gain a good understanding of math. While his lectures are helpful, he puts a lot of emphasis on working by yourself to understand the material. Would totally recommend.

Hands down the best math professor or teacher I have ever had. He truly wants you to succeed not only in his course, but any course that would have Calc 2 in it. He is an engineer himself, so he knows what is needed for future knowledge. Incredibly passionate in his teaching. it is a tough course but Noring is the only one who can get you ready.

The poor ratings on here, are only from people who were obviously not prepared to work hard. Calculus II is extremely challenging, you will need to study every night. SI sessions are insanely helpful, definitely attend. Dr. Noring is really here to help.

Mediocre math student here; Noring will, quite exhaustively, go out of his way to help you learn/pass; you just have to show you that you are worthy of his time. Tests are hard; but, he is not that tough on grading; my tests were covered in partial credits. Key to passing Noring's class is to remember about 5 trig integrations and 1/x dx lnx.

I've been through Calc III and Linear algebra. ODE is very different and can easily get ahead of you. The lectures helped some, but what I can not stand is webassign, although he makes it much less brutal than any other class that I've had to use it in. He is very by the book and you will have to work for the grade you want, do all the bonuses.

Noring is a solid choice for a Calc II teacher if you actually care about learning the content. His class is by no means easy, but you will have left it fully understanding all of the material. Homework is completion and the majority of your grade will be from tests, so study hard. Overall, a great teacher who really cares about the subject.

Calculus II is not an easy class. Review your algebra, trig and calc 1 before the semester starts. You need to be prepared to try hard, and his SI is AMAZING ( 10/10 would recommend going to her - it is very obvious she cares. She puts in 3x the amount of hours and does not get paid for them, I have never had an SI who actually cared before).

I earned my A by practicing the problems so much my fingers hurt. His study guides are extremely helpful though. GO TO THE SI AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE- she will walk you through the whole study guide and more. Both the SI and Noring have office hours and are easy to get a hold of outside of those hours as well. I would take again.

Professor Noring is a great professor. I took him for Calc I in the summer semester and he did a good job of explaining the material. He gives practice exams a day or two before the in class exam, and they definitely helped me do well. WebAssign is required, and it is a pain, however it helps.

Everything about professor noring is great. I took his calc1 summer session on TTH2-6 and he was awesome. He gives you everything you need to know for his tests and is accessible for questions etc. The only problem I had was I underestimated how much homework was required as to not have penalty points. START HW ASAP. other than that , A+ Noring!

Dr Noring was great honestly. Make sure you start the homework as soon as you get access to web assign because those extra credit points help a ton and plus theres just a lot to do. but definitely take his course. He does prepare you for your future classes.

If you're like me and took calc AB and BC in high school (ie Calc 1 and 2), Noring is the easiest A for calculus you will ever encounter. HOWEVER, if you have never seen calc before, I do not recommend him. His practice exams are the exams with just a few numbers changed, but he's fast and the type to go on tangents. I loved him, others didn't.

I took Dr. Noring for Calc II. I cannot recommend him enough. He knows what he is teaching and gives you what you need to succeed at his tests. He also does a great job at actually making you learn calculus. If you do good at his class, you have actually learned something. He is also very generous with extra credit and quite funny.

Hes kinda wild but he really knows what hes talking about. Very passionate about the subject

He is a good professor who cares about how well students do. As long as you go to all the classes, and you practice his study guides before the test, than its an easy class. Loads of homework and he gives bonus points.

uses mymathlab as all of your homework (only 50% of what he actually assigns is required; any more completed gives bonus points). if you show up to every lecture, you get bonus points too. for every test, he posts a sample test on BrightSpace which is basically the actual test with a few changes. study these and do the homework and it's an easy A/B

Simply put, he's a good teacher and the class isn't hard either. If you do the homework on MyMathLab ( only need 50% completion) and study the sample tests online then this class will be a breeze. You also receive bonus points for just showing up to every lecture and doing bonus homework.

I just had Professor Noring for Trig, he's pretty great. He really cares about what he's teaching and he involves the class by asking them to help solve the problems he works out as he goes along on the board. Sometimes, when he's really passionate about a topic, he will yell at the class about it's importance. (its funny) He's super nice. WTA!

Dr. Noring is an incredible calculus 2 professor. Calculus 2 is hard, so you have to put in the effort to actually understand whats going on. He also has an AWESOME SI. His SI is the only SI I have ever seen that actually cares about student success. She put in a ton of extra hours that i know she didnt get paid for just because she cares.

Dr. Noring knows math well, and he will highlight things to rememeber for future math classes. He's passionate about the subject, and he explains things well. I highly recommend taking his classes! Make sure you do your homework because it's practice, and really go over the sample tests to know what to expect from the tests.

Dr. Noring is a great professor. He enjoys getting to know his students better. He cares for his students and wants them all to pass. He gives out a lot of homework on mymathlab and they're all due at the end of the semester, half of them are extra credit. He also gives extra credit on his tests. His tests are exactly like the study guide so do it.

I took cal 2 and easily passed this class because he literally gives us sample exams BEFORE the tests. I could see what kind of questions will be on the tests and be able to practice it. You have alot of hw but u don't need to do all of them because you will get bonus on tests and double credit if you do chapter 8. EZ CLASS IF YOU STUDY

Noring isn't the most charismatic individual I've ever met, but he's certainly a great person. Calc 2 is a really hard class for a lot of people, but you will be provided with MORE than enough resources to succeed. If you fail with Noring, it's on you. Talk to him if you don't understand concepts, he will help you.

Amazing professor if you are willing to listen to his lectures

I believe this is one of the best professors you can take for math. If you go to class he will help you out with some problems you are having. There are 12 tests but they are more like quizzes and you can retake 2-3 at the end of the semester. Although all homework is due at end of semester I highly recommend you do it because it helps for tests.

I loved having Dr. Noring as my teacher, I actively wanted to go to class to learn the material despite the difficulty. He can sometimes get off topic, but overall he explains the content really well and is excited about what he is teaching. He is always ready to help students with questions during class and in office hours.

I loved Dr. Noring for both my Calc 2 and Diff eq class. He going into depth about the information you will be learning, although he does go pretty fast. I recommend taking his class if you have a strong background in trigonometry. Tbh, he really does baby his students; his study guides are very similar to his tests.

Dr. Noring is a great guy who is obviously a very experienced well known professor. I had to work for my A, I went to several study sessions and worked with his learning assistant Kara. She was wonderful at breaking down the material. She has a skill of explaining math that I have never encountered before. Actually made me enjoy math for once.

He literally reads from the textbook. Not necessarily a bad thing, but just be prepared for a somewhat boring lecture. His practice exams he gives are exactly like the tests, so make sure you can do every problem on there and know the formulas/memorization you need. The class is graded on 12 exams with the final being 2 retakes. 50% homework is req

He gives 12 tests so every test only has a little material so each one is basically a quiz, just study enough before and you'll be fine. He also gives great study guides for the tests so just study of those and you'll be prepared. Homework is due at the end of the semester. He is super kind and funny. Best professor on campus

Great professor but he gives very few examples, you have to be prepared to figure out the webassign and practice tests on your own

Jon Noring is very clear with what he wants you to achieve in the class. For diff eq he gave us a total of 10 tests (supposed to be 12) one over each chapter. As long as you go to class, pay attention and review his old exams (that he puts on the d2l page) you should pass the class without any problems.

To get an A in this class, here's what you need to know. There are twelve tests total. Go to every lecture, you will get bonus points at the end of the class. Also do the practice exams and the webassignes before their due dates. If you don't understand something, ask him questions. He's always willing to help students during office hours

This is in my opinion the best prof at KSU. He expects a lot out of his students but gives even more to make sure they do well in his class and breaks the material down into smaller sections so it is much easier to study for. If you are struggling on any concept stop by his office and he is always more than happy to help.

Do the homework, go to class, study the practice tests, and that's it. He's probably one of the fairest teachers I've ever had. His lectures are also interesting and fun to listen to, which is pretty much a heretical idea amongst math professors, at least in my experience.

Dr. Noring is a really smart professor. He definitely knows what he's talking about and sometimes he'll even go back and explain other concepts so that you get what he's lecturing on. You have to follow along closely to understand though-if you doze off you might miss something and get lost. I say this from personal experience lol! I recommend him

Grading consists of attendance, 8 tests, & homework. If you don't do the homework you will get penalty points & won't get a good grade in the class. Reviews are provided for each test & the questions on the test are just like them. There's a lot of extra credit. If you take his class be ready to watch cat videos & listen to him talk about calculus.

Your best bet is to complete webassign HW while he is going over that topic in class. You'll get bored of him reading the textbook and doing few examples. His whining and ranting may get annoying but he is accessible through email an outside of class and ALWAYS willing to help. If you know the practice test inside and out, you will succeed!

100% of our grade is from his 12 tests. His in class lectures tend to be boring and confusing, but he compensates for it by releasing practice tests that offer an extremely detailed and easy to understand explanation of the problems, and they are essentially the same as his actual tests.

Take this class. It is difficult by nature so you have to put in your own effort. You must be able to dedicate time outside class in order to succeed. Practice exams are very helpful so take time to study them throughly. The hw is annoying cuz Pearson but you get a lot of practice. I withdrew first time I took calc so this was a big step up.

I have not taken math in 2 years, so getting back into it with calculus was a huge shock. However, without Professor Noring, I never would have passed. He gives you everything you need to be successful. I did not realize how difficult this was going to be, but he makes you so prepared. Definitely going to be doing all your learning outside of class

Dr. Noring is great! He is really passionate and goes on rants sometimes, but he goes out of his way to help. Make use of his office hours, they helped me. His exams are very similar to his practice tests, so make sure you study those thoroughly. He gives a bunch of extra credit opportunities that can help as well. I took him for trig and calc!

Great professor! Gives great outline of what is expected in the class to get an A. Lecture is required, gives you a chance to makeup any test youve missed or retake any bad test grades! Super fair, and enjoyable professor, you wont regret it!

He's a really nice guy who is truly passionate about what he teaches. With this in mind, he often goes on tangents, and personally I learned very little from his lectures. I however am a terrible student. He grades entirely based on the work, and sometimes can be nit-picky, however I managed to pass thanks to his *amazing* *study guides.*

Overall nice and caring prof. Really wants you to do well, but you gotta pull your fair weight. Practice exams are literally just the exams but with different numbers. Did ALEKS every time it was due + practice exams and I turned out more than fine. You can retake exams at the end but I didn't need to.

Took the Covid-19 version of his class and it was not terrible. He likes to rant during lectures a bit but besides that everything he's says will help you. Made sure to teach practical examples when going over different topics.

If youre in stem hes a solid choice. He gets bummed when he finds out students werent taught fundamentals and rants about the education system. His engineer background makes his class slightly catered for engineers. Dont let penalty points add up because it can drop you close to two letter grades if you dont do your hw. Cool professor

I had Dr. Noring for Calculus 1, and I would definitely take him again for the higher level courses. He shows you how to solve each problem step by step. While his study guides are similar to his exams, do not just rely on them to study. I highly recommend doing as many homework problems as you can every day in order to fully prepare for exams.

He grades hard, but he is a nice professor. Be ready to work problems on your own. He expects you to be able to take about a million derivatives lol. Overall the is a good professor.

He makes you work for it because he cares. It's not an easy class, because the material isn't easy, and he wants to make sure you know it backwards and forwards. If you work hard and don't procrastinate, it's totally reasonable to get an A. Pro tip: Do the homework. Do as much of it as you can.

Noring was a great teacher, he assigns so many opportunities for bonus points and lets you retake your lowest 2 exams if you do all the homework. He wants to make sure you are prepared for your other classes so he will go over the most important subjects only. Diff Eq was no longer a nightmare.

If you learn by doing practice problems only. This course is for you. If you need more help because youre not very good at math choose someone else. Doesnt hold your hand in the course. Hopefully this gives you an idea if you plan on taking math1111 to calc3 with him. * must know trig and algebra before coming in or you might struggle.*

Loved this professor! He was really nice and very fair. Tests are super similar to the practice tests, so really make sure you understand and study those. Tons of extra credit opportunities! Only some of the homework counts as a grade, so a lot ends up being extra credit.

He cares about the students who are willing to give it their all. The hw is 40-80 questions (27 hws) the average is worth a test grade he gives 20 bonus pts if the score is over 100. The tests ARE HARD u must ask questions to clarify things, but the test templates give basic ideas, u have to be INSANELY good in algebra before taking his class.

the only warning label i'd give for him is you need to be ready to try. ask questions in class he's very good at explaining problems in depth. he also talks about calc a lot but over good teacher. Very chill. ALOS PLEASE STUDY THE SYLLABUS IN DEPTH.

Noring is a great professor. He has template exams that are very similar to the actual test. If you understand the processes and strategies used on the template exam, you'll easily pass the exams. I also recommend doing the homework throughout the semester. Overall pretty easy class. Take Noring if you can!

I, unfortunately, had to withdraw from the class due to the position I was in with grades and test scores, however, Professor Noring was completely understanding & kind, attempted to work with me, and gave me many opportunities and adaptations in respect to my learning disabilities. Would really recommend as I had a 1-on-1 meeting that helped lots.

Calculus II/Math 1190 is a difficult and broad subject to begin with, but Professor Noring teaches it in a digestible way. You will pass the class if you do the homework, but you must Do. The. Homework. It's only by doing hundreds of problems will you master the subject. Noring is very passionate about what he teaches. I highly recommend him.

LOTS of homework (currently uses MyLabMath). Good lectures as long as you pay attention, gives good advice outside of just learning math. Will show how to apply the math based on your major. Understands that most of his students are Engineering or computer Science majors.

Dr. Noring has a great ability to express exactly what he wants from us and what he wants to teach. He gives us all the necessary materials to pass including extra homework and other stuff. All that is expected is to work hard and put in the effort. If you don't do the homework you will fail. Like any other college class.

Guy's a good professor, he likes to stress importance of the topics based on how they relate to real world. He taught well and I understood the concept fine but there was a lot to memorize which is what I mainly struggled with. There's a decent amount of extra credit offered on the homeworks and through attendance, enough to nudge you up a few pts.

He does "teach through the book", but if that's your main take away, you didn't pay attention. He doesn't just hang over the board and rework book questions, but explains in detail WHY things are the way they are and HOW each topic works. He spends the majority of the lecture teaching you how to think like a calculus based mathematician/engineer.

Professor Noring is pretty boring on the lecture side, but the way his class is setup is amazing. Bonus points for attendance and extra homework. His tests are slightly difficult if you don't know your algebra and trig, but are easy enough to pass. He also includes study guides a day or two before the test. For Calc3 a MUST take. Other profs SUCK!

He had 8 exams, but they felt more like quizzes because he'd post template exams with the same problems just different numbers. Great lectures, I felt like he made the concepts easy enough to understand. He is willing to accommodate students but hard for me to reach him via email. Do show up to class, but if you miss a few, you'll be okay

Dr Noring is a pretty good professor overall, his lectures can be a bit boring, but you can tell he cares a lot about explaining why math is important and where it is used in life. The tests are exactly the same format as the practice tests he posts online, but they're still really difficult. You got to know your trig and algebra to do well in this

Dr. Noring is the professor to take if you need Calculus as an Engineering student. His grading criteria are very clear and all of the homework is available on day 1. The study guides he uploads are the same as his exams so if you study and work every problem out thoroughly, you will excel on the exams.

Jon Noring is the best Calculus professor I've ever had. Before this class, I often struggled with understanding the concepts of calculus and working out tough questions. Tests are like the study guide, homework can be helpful, but can be somewhat time consuming. My favorite thing about him is how he stresses fundamentals and thorough

Took Professor Noring's class over the summer. Definitely was difficult due to the fact that Calc II has a lot of content, and we only had 8 weeks. I understand where the bad reviews are coming from, but overall it really isn't that bad. He even gave template exams that were pretty similar, trig heavy albeit for his real exams. He's a solid choice.

The class is challenging, but Professor Noring makes it manageable. Doing lots of practice problems is key. Attend lecture and use resources like the SI sessions and unstuckstudy ai - they really help consolidate the material. Overall, a tough but rewarding course.

If you took AP Calc, take this class. Easy A If you have no basis of calc, you shouldn't take this class Fantastic Grading Bad lectures 8 Exams Practice exams Extra credit questions Homework 100-200 homework questions per exam Only 70% to receive full credit Homework due at semester end Few homework modules that are extra credit

The class was tough with tons of tests and a big final but I liked it. The teacher pushed us when we messed up which helped even if it felt harsh. He gave practice tests so we knew what to study, and the homework was hard but rewarding. He focused on the "why" instead of just the "what". I know many hated it cause he didn't spoon feed everything.

He frequently goes on tangents and I can understand why others may not like him but I think he's a good professor. He doesn't just teach you how to solve a problem, he puts emphasis on the importance of actually understanding the content. There definitely is a lot of homework, but exposure to a variety of problems is important.

Definitely recommend him if you're naturally good at math and want to breeze by an easy course. He's so funny and nice and gives so much extra credit. Took him for calc 2 and 3.

His teaching style is specific, he may seem off topic but he relates it back to the problem later, so he's not for you if you're easily distracted. He's an engineer teaching so future engineers can succeed, often relating things to engineering, which usually isn't helpful for non-engineers, but he is fantastic. I highly recommend Dr. Noring.

Professor Noring is easily the best math professor I've ever had. He makes Calc 3 easy and will help you if you need it. His tests have a memorization section where you can write your formulas, and he posts practice exams with answers. USE THESE! Do 60% of the homework and you get extra credit. Easy A, I wish I had studied more.

Dr. Noring is amazing. DO THE HOMEWORK. It's not much if you spread it out and he offers so much extra credit just from doing the homework (uses Achieve). I had him for Calc 1 2 and 3 and I'd gladly take him again. He articulates things well and gives in depth answers to questions asked. He's accessible outside of class and answers emails quickly.

Super easy professor with a LOT OF extra credit. No final exams. 2 mark-up exams for the lowest grade exams. the exam are really based on the template but make sure you understand the material. He is easy and hard grader at the same time. He will minus a lot if you have error he mentioned in class. SUPER GOOD CLASS!

DO. THE. HOMEWORK. EVERY LAST BIT OF IT. DO IT. if you do, even if you average like a 50 on exams you can still get a C Dr. Noring is a very tough grader but if you follow the guidelines AND DO THE HOMEWORK you'll be fine. Also, if he offers extra credit, DO IT. Doesn't matter how long it takes, it's worth it.

Noring is not the devil that this page makes him seem like. Yes his lectures are him rambling about engineering, calculus, and other stuff. However if you do the ALEKS and use his exam templates, its literally the test. His lectures more so reinforced my learning I did on ALEKS (which is only 1 module a week). He has his quirks but a great prof

I took Dr. Noring's class before transferring out and I have say he prepared me for way harder classes. His class structure of 9 Tests with the fill-in-the-blank formula sheet and a bunch of homework was the way every applied math course should be. He's a very memorable guy, those rambles where legendary. Take him if you are an engineering major.

I took him for Calc 1. Overall, I'd say if you are good at algebra this class will be a breeze, but if you are like me get ready to work to catchup. The lectures are pretty straight forward and so is most of the homework. The tests on the other hand are extremely algebra and trig heavy. The content was easy to understand. Lots of e.c. though!

Professor Noring is a good professor. For Calc 1 there are 8 exams and a final that together are 90% of the grade. He gives you practice exams that are the same as the real exam, just a little different. If you put the work in, you will do well in this class. There is lots of extra credit that isn't too hard.
