Really good teacher! If you're not really good at math he explains everything really well. And he's funny. I would totally recommend him.

one of the greatest math teacher , if you want really to learn math start to take all your math classes with him .he will help you to learn the materials easliy with fun step by step..just do not miss his class and do the homework ..highly recommended "the best teacher".

Great Teacher!! Highly recommended... Very clear and organized.

Good professor. Tests are difficult but he grades them very fair.

This is the nuttiest guy you will ever meet by far, simply crazy. He makes class fun by his outgoing personality. The class is pretty easy if you do your homework, everything is based on the tests.

Hes a great teacher very helpful! gives extra credit for homework. And for study group!

The best teacher. Any bad comments on here are from BAD students, I garentee! Just do your homework and show up for class,he'll do the rest. Interesting guy, Keeps you awake. If you;ve had trouble with math he's the best solution.

This professor is soooo lazy! Don't expect to receive your tests for about 2-3 weeks. Arrives to class AT LEAST 15 minutes late EVERY DAY. Teaches in the most annoying manner I've ever experienced. Pulls odd questions for tests, which he makes himself. Never reviews either, not even for the final! I love math, but not this particular teacher.

hands down best teacher at oakland community college. he really cares that student learn the material. hes absolutly amazing.

I'm surprised at negative comments. Professor A is REALLY good. Yes, he asks questions. He wants his students to think and understand the material. You can tell he enjoys teaching and wants the students to do well. I'll take him for all of my Math classes at OCC, even though I'm not close to this campus. Yes, he is late, 5-10 min. Nobigdeal.

Wounderfull Person! clear explanations to problems.He makes you really think about Math so it makes sence. Show up and Do the homework and you will know the subject.I laugh the whole time I'm in there!If he drifts of corse just start doing the homework! also Pat the study Group leader a sweety!

You can tell Prof. A loves math. I think he loves teaching it too. I would never believe that I would ever say I love Algebra and its because of him. The comments posted on 3/30 are not true. He spend the entire time teaching and is always talking about math. He is a very good teacher. I highly recommend him for every student.

Professor A is a great teacher He has a unique way of explaining the work and gets the class interested. I'm surprised how much I enjoyed the class. I highly recommend this Professor.I will take him for all my required math classes if possible. He is fair, offers extra credit, gives opportunity to improve poor test scores and has study group tutor

Good teacher. Tests are not returned quickly but VERY generous about partial credit. If you do the work you can pull an A.

Difficult tests. You would study a lot and expect a good grade and get returned the opposite. It happened to most of the students. However as long as you get one good grade on a test, that is the grade you keep at the end of the semester, which I don't think makes any sense. There is also a study group offered.

I took Diff Eq with this prof. He is a cool teacher and keeps your attention through humor which is good for a difficult math course. He is usually 15 min late to class and break, which adds up to a lot of lost time in the end. He catches up by teaching really fast which is hard to understand. Notes are a little messy, but you get used to it.

Prof. A is a great teacher who is passionate about math-very funny too. Downside is that the tests are very difficult. My suggestion would be to study sections VERY thoroughly before tests. Know the language. He has an SI who is available before and after class. Study group is helpful and you get Xtra cr 4 attend. Replaces lowest test with next one

Excellent teacher. Had him for Calc 1, 2, and 3. Funny guy too, does tell some stories, but they keep the class interesting (4 straight hours of math can wear you down). He is also helpful, and will talk things over if you don't understand. Take advantage of his knowledge! He is one of the best.

GREAT TEACHER, IF YOU HAVE HAD MATH TROUBLE IN THE PAST HE IS GREAT! He helps in class and actully respond to emails. very interresting class, funny guy!

Excellent professor. He makes it easy to sit through his class. He teaches through asking questions and leading students to figuring out the answers themselves. Very funny. Beware, he will always be at least ten minutes late and is slow to return tests, other wise excellent.

It is so hard to find a good math teacher. Aeschliman is amazing. He makes everything easy to understand. I have had him for pre algebra and elementary algebra. I wouldn't take anyone else. If you do your homework, it's extra credit on your test. I suggest doing your homework, it helps you to understand what is going on and it's extra credit.

Mr A. is the best teacher I've ever taken. Very helpful and wants each student to do well. If anyone has anything bad to say, it is only because they didn't study or try. Finally a teacher who knows how to teach math! He's funny and confident! Great teacher!!!

I have had Mr. A for 3 classes now and I can say that he is an excellent prof. I just want you guys to notic that the last 4 comments were all posted on the same day. Do you really think they were completely unrelated? I'm pretty sure they were just one student with an axe to grind. Don't pay attention- Mr. A is great.

He is the best teacher I have ever had! If he could teach me math he can teach anyone!

my fav prof!!

He's really good at teaching. I was horrible at math before taking his class, then I literally relearned everything I knew through him and it's so easy now! Will give extra credit for doing the hw.

He really cares about you and your grade. He wants you to like math!

Great teacher! Teaches math from the ground up and thoroughly understands how students learn. If you do all of the home work and pay attention and complete the home work you will pass

Best Proff Ever to walk the earth!!!!!!! I always liked math but after taking Mr. A I don't think its possible to love math more! He is funny, likable, he kind of late to class a lot but who cares when you get such an amazing proff!!!

He is very nice. At first, I thought he was a little rude, but then realized it's just his sense of humor.He talks SLOOOWWWLLLLLY, which can be annoying, but overall, he is very nice and is always willing to help. He explains the material well too.

Such a great teacher! He teaches you tricks to help you learn quickly. I have been so bad at math until I took his course. Highly recommended for students who aren't really good at math.

He's a okay professor. Do your homework and come to class. He does make you feel stupid sometimes but he tries to make it a joke....sometimes i think he's not joking. But he goes in detail when explaining things. So I would out him as Fair.

Honestly i have no idea why people rated him so low, i think he was one of the best math professors ive ever had, sure the class is hard, and he may sound condescending,but he wants to get you to think.

While I didn't want to join any discussions, I thoroughly enjoyed them--no lecture more yet! Kudos to those with the nerve to answer even his simple questions. Otherwise, he presents the material extremely well I had no problem getting an A after a ten year hiatus from math. Liked him so much consider taking DIFF-EQ even though I don't need it!

I took Mr. A for Calc 2 and Diff Eq. My advice is that if you are not a quick learner and cannot study well on your own (or if you do not have A LOT of time on your hands), do not take this class. The few students that barely study for his exams are extremely gifted. Prepare for heck. He is difficult. But not impossible.

Great at explaining the material but wastes a lot of time trying to get the class to participate! We didn't finish the last couple of chapters because he was behind schedule because the class was afraid to participate. He likes to make the students feel stupid. He tells funny stories to take away the tension. You can"t be shy while takin this class

I think he is a wonderful teacher. He is very good at explanation and is very knowledgeable. Likes to yell however he only does it to get through to people.

He is very clear and wants students to understand the material. I have him this semester and I do not care for math before taking this class with him. He does have an SI and gives points to boost your grade at the end of the semester. Overall he's the greatest math teacher there is.

He is the best professor I ever had at OCC who cared about his students and their needs. If you don't understand something, he's always willing to show you and explain it to you after class. I'm really glad that he was a math professor that I could count on to help me. I will really miss Mr. Aeschilman when I graduate this year.

honestly the best math teacher ive ever had. answers all your questions and is extreamly funny. he gives extra credit for attending study group before class and sometimes collets homework for extra credit on your test. tests are just like the notes he gives and will help you on your test if you go up to him. awesome teacher overall.

He is a little intimidating at first. He yells a lot, but he says it's because he likes to act. He's very funny and entertaining, but don't expect him to just hand out answers to you. He makes you really think about math and learn how to use math terms correctly. Calculus is a challenging class, but he does his best to help you work through it.

Hands down one of the best teachers i have ever had. His class is by no means easy, but if you take notes, pay attention, and participate, not only will you learn and have fun. He makes sure that you understand the words you use, and doesn't tolerate misuse of terminology. He sometimes has you repeat a question/answer until you say it correctly.

He is awesome. So funny. He made class fun and actually explained the concepts. Loved him

Thought I wouldn't like him at first but then he grew on me. He is really good at explaining the why's behind the concepts. I now know what the symbols mean instead of just how to solve them.

I took him for calc 1 2 and 3. Best teacher I've ever had. Has an extremely thorough understanding of the material, is extremely helpful and invested in how well the students do. Will help you out as much as he can in extenuating circumstances. Highly highly recommend! Especially for a 4 hour course it goes by quickly. Funny too!

Best teacher ever !! I take him for every math I highly recemend him. He's funny and a great teacher. I suck at math and he explained it in a way I understand. Love him.

He jokes around in class but I never thought he was putting people down. He is one of the best teachers I've ever had, I understand the material I learned from him so much better than other people who have taken these courses at universities or from other teachers. I recommend him at every opportunity. He's an excellent teacher.

Mr.A loves to rub his chest. hell rub them all class period. but he is a really funny professor. i recemend taking him.

I THOUGHT HE WAS AWESOME AND WOULD TOTALLY RECOMMEND HIM. REALLY TEACHES THE MATERIAL. I THOUGHT HIS WAY OF TEACHING THE MATERIAL REALLY HELPED ME. CANT SAY ENOUGH AWESOME TEACHER AND FUNNY. IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE HIS CLASS YOU NEED TO GROW UP AND GO SEE HOW THE REAL WORLD OPPERATES

Mr. Aechliman was a great instructor. He explained math concepts really well. When he asks questions he makes you answer correctly and say thing right. Some people hated him for that, but I thought it was helpful. Great instructor. Wish he was teaching the next class.

if you don't enjoy people with a sense of humor, don't take his class. he puts people on the spot, but for the sole purpose of learning. he is always there to help and his tutor that came in an hour before class was very helpful as well. I hate math, but he made it easy to understand and gives a lot of examples and constructive criticism.

Some of these comments are hilarious. He's a good guy and really wants to make sure students understand the math, as opposed to just being able to regurgitate it on test day. I don't see how people would be offended by him, unless they're just insecure. He really knows his stuff. Like other OCC teachers, he tends to be hand-holdy.

Is a serious professor if you are committed to your studies. Do not take his class if you are expecting a joke out of your future! He's always there to give you extra help if you ask for it. I learned to love math because of his teaching pedagogy.

Work hard and do the homework and you will pass. He has a study group before every class and it seriously helps, so go. If you need help just ask and have a back bone because he does joke. I almost failed but I asked for help and did all the homework. I passed Calc 2 in 7.5 wks. Good luck.

He uses common sense to describe math instead of just making you memorize and regurgitate it like everyone else. His tests aren't like the usual where you have no idea what will be on it, his tests are on exactly what he teaches. His explanation of basic math laid a foundation that carried me through my next two math classes.

Aeschliman is brilliant. His sense of humor may come off as condescending and rude, just learn to brush it off and laugh. The lectures are slow, but pay attention! Ask questions! He expects students to think and learn, and gets frustrated when people slack off. If you put in the work, he will help you. He wants you to learn and succeed.

If you truly try in his class, you WILL learn how to be an excellent math student. Yes, he has a very dry sense of humor. Yes, if you don't take class seriously he will humiliate you, and yes, he will let you know if your answer is wrong. But in doing so he teaches you to THINK and TALK critically. A skill you can use for the rest of your life.

People need to lighten up! Mr. Aeschliman is not condescending in the least bit, he just expects the best as any good teacher does. You really have to earn your grade. If you put the work in, you'll earn the grade you deserve. His tests are rough, most of the time I wanted to cry half way through, but I am all the better math student because of it!

Mr Aeschliman is a very tough teacher and comes off very unapproachable, however if you're struggling with anything he is extremely helpful if you show you are willing to work for it. He expects 110 percent effort and if he sees you putting in that effort he will help you out if you're struggling. Great guy!

Good guy who teaches really well and knows his concepts inside & out. He's not rude or condescending at all, he just doesn't accept wrong answers. If you're wrong, he'll tell you--not to make fun of you, but to make sure you understand concepts. He's funny in class & very friendly if you go see him for help. Tests are more than fair & represent hw.

I took Calc as an 8 week course and thought he was great! Hilarious, definitely a dry sense of humor, but he knows the material well and he teaches well. He's a caring guy. Class can be long but he tries to be very interactive by asking a lot of questions. His tests are like the homework and they have extra credit!!

First of all, I think he is a wonderful professor, and very knowledgeable in mathematics. I took him over the summer in an 8 week Calc 2 class, and it was the hardest class I've ever taken because I didn't dedicate enough time and effort to the class and the homework. If you do the homework right, you will do well. He is also very understanding.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR IF YOU CAN'T STUDY ALL DAY. If you are used to just getting by with minimal effort do not take Mr. Aeschliman. I had him for calc 1 and it was the hardest thing I've ever done. With that being said he made me into a better student with how i was forced to dive into the material of the course and study for hours everyday

Mr. Aeschliman is a really good professor. He demands as much knowledge as he provides a theory. He doesn't let you get bored during his class, giving little breaks. If you put enough effort, you'll make this class up.

Mr. Aeschliman is a great professor. He is not going to be super easy on you but for someone who REALLY struggles with math, it was nice to have a teacher that thoroughly explains what he's teaching, so as long as you take notes and do your homework you should really get a grasp on the material.

He's really a great guy and he wants you to succeed. But .. Linear Algebra is freaking hard. So show up and pay attention, he's a dang good teacher but he can't do it all. Do all your homework and go to the study sessions for help and you'll probably pass.

I loved Professor Aeschliman. He was a very good teacher, and cares about his students success. Some people may not favor his sense of humor, but it does make class more interesting. He is clear about what is expected of you, and occasionally offers extra credit for doing homework. Show up to class and do your homework and you will be successful.

Lectures were easy, informative, and interactive. Teacher definitely did not let his students to get away from the lecture, making sure that students understand everything. Always ready to explain. Study group before class was a great help too.

I went on to become an engineer and attribute some of my math ability (and affinity) to Kent Aeschliman. He was an excellent professor.

I had Mr. Aeschliman for Linear Algebra and its the hardest I have ever worked in a class. Overall, it is very clear what he expects from you and he makes sure everyone understands all the material. Homework and study group is a must. His lectures are thorough and he makes sure he hits everything you need to know. Also, he is a pretty funny guy.

Lectures were thorough and insightful. Instructor was available out of class to address questions and took feedback and criticism really well. Tests questions were very intelligent, that is, they covered multiple concepts as a package. Tests often took longer than the should have, but extra time was always provided. Do homework and attend SI for A

I didnt like Kent at first, by the end of the semester I had grown to like him. Hes a good guy and teaches well. Utilize office hours if youre not doing good he will help.

I had the privilege of taking differential equations, calculus I, and calculus III with him in the course of two semesters, and his grading criteria was objective, he was a tough grader, accessible outside class, and got the class involved in his lectures far more than the average instructor. Test questions were very similar to homework.

I took calculus 1 & 2 with Prof. Aeschliman. He holds a high standard for students to maintain and the tests aren't easy. With that being said, he is a very thorough teacher that explains things in ways a normal(not gifted) student like me will understand. I had to put in many hours for my C, but left that class very well prepared for higher math.

Best professor I ever had. He doesn't just tell you how to do the problem, he makes you figure out why things work that way. Yes, the class is hard, but I learned more from him than any other professor - ever. Wish he was teaching calc 3 this semester.

This was a very conflicting class. I genuinely believe Aeschliman wants the best in his students and for us to succeed. However, this was one of the more difficult classes I have taken. Homework was optional but basically required in order to do good on a test. Getting an A means spending hours on the homework. Your effort shows your grade ig.

Look, he can seem intimidating and stern, but he tells you what he wants and how he wants it , all you have to do is listen. He is 100% a good teach and knows what he is talking about, but you need to come to class participate and DO THE HOMEWORK. he can be scary but overall i learned tons and he knows how to do his job.

He is an EXCELLENT lecturer but a bit mean. He asks vague questions yet wants specific answers. If you have an strong grasp on math vocabulary, you should participate. Beware answering a question if you're not fully prepared to explain yourself. He might humiliate you if your answer is wrong. He does it cuz he wants you to know your stuff.

I took his course online. We met once per week for a long 3+ hour lecture. The way he sets up the material works well. After taking a few other classes I realized how well the material was presented and I didn't have to do too much searching to understand what was going on. He can be a bit direct and rude without realizing it because of zoom.

It seems like people who have a problem with the professor are the type to not do any work, and then get mad when they fail. He gives extra credit for attending study group, and is willing to help if you put in the effort. He did assign homework but it is manageable. He genuinely does care about his students, and wants to see you succeed.

Yes, Mr. A does expect you do the work, and if you are willing to stay on top of it, he's a really good teacher. He asked more from me than my high school teachers... and he showed me I could do it. Great guy.

Mr. A has been teaching like since forever and it shows. He knows his stuff and knows how to get it across. Some poeple whine, but that's b/c they are lazy. If you put in some effort (like imagine that), its not all that hard. Good guy. Wood take again.

Professor A knows his stuff and delivers it well. He expects effort, but if you put it in, you'll learn a lot. unstuck ai was super helpful for study prep - saved me time.

Mr. A takes the time to lay things out very clearly. Yes, he has expectations, but if you just stay on top of the work and do not get behind, it will all be good. Yes, would take again!
