Kia is sarcastic and fun, but sometimes he rushes through the material and it's hard to follow. Do the worksheets even though they aren't graded, and come to class even though attendance isn't mandatory...these will help you succeed. If you're struggling in the class, tell him! He's always willing to meet up and help you out!

He is a very sarcastic guy. He will choose a student who deserves it and kind of poke fun at him/her for that day but it is all in good fun. If you cannot take a joke, pick another teacher. He assigns a lot of homework but does not collect it. however it is in your best interest to do it anyway. GREAT TEACHER WHO LOVES WHAT HE DOES! THUMBS UP

HOLY HOMEWORK BATMAN! If you have anything outside of this class (life, spouse, kids, bills, other classes, etc) you will struggle to keep up w/ the HW. He is HILARIOUS, but you need 30+ hours per week for his class. This class made my wife and kids hate my school. GREAT GUY: I'd buy him a beer anytime, but never want to take another class w/ him.

Kia is amazing! He definitely makes what can be a very boring class interesting with his sense of humor. If you can't take a joke, you should probably take another professor (it will be your loss). He is more than willing to help and wants his students to succeed, but you need to take the initiative to ask. Do the homework if you want to succeed.

I thought that Kia was a great professor who was really enthusiastic about his job. He is kind of abrasive, but he genuinly cares about his students. He is really funny and easy to talk to, but you need to work hard to get a good grade because it's college. I thoroughly enjoyed his class! Thank you for making stats fun, Kia - "No Talk"

great teacher! finally helped me understand math!

Kia is not the professor for everybody, but I'm a huge fan. Underneath the sarcastic, smart aleck and sometimes even juvenile exterior is a man who deeply cares about his students and will go out of his way to help you understand. Give him respect and he will give it back; put in the effort and he will, too. I highly recommend him. Thanks, Kia!

Kia is a really good professor with a good heart. He has a knack for giving everyone a nickname and odds are you will have one before the semester is over. You have to be able to put up with a professor that will poke and make fun of you. Kia really is big on attendance and being on time. I highly recommend Kia, he is hilarious as well.

Actually... He is the BEST :)

Straightforward teaching. No homework assigned so it requires discipline to work outside of class. Work hard and ask questions and you should get a good grade. I got an A and I just had to really put my effort into studying. He can be sarcastic but I found it humorous.

Kia is a good teacher, very sarcastic, but he makes the class tolerable. He doesn't assign homework, however DO IT. It will help a lot. He explains things in class, however to get more help use his office hours, they are to your advantage. Honestly, I was blaming him for my grade, when I realized I wasn't practicing the math making my grade suffer.

Yes, Kia is sarcastic and loves to joke at everyone's expense, including his own! That's what made this class fun! But when it comes to the material he focuses and explains it very effectively. But YOU HAVE TO DO THE WORK! He won't do it for you, but he always makes himself available to his students and really wants them to succeed. Thanks Kia!!

Kia is an awesome teacher. Don't take this class and only show up for tests and expect to pass. If you show up everyday and take notes, it will definitely pay off. He is very sarcastic but if you can roll with the punches you'll be fine. He let us drop the lowest test score at the end. Homework is assigned but not mandatory. No quizzes. 4 Exams.

He is not a bad teacher but his jokes get really old after a while. I also don't like the way he bullies some of the students. Also, he doesn't follow the book at all so it's best to focus on the worksheets he hand out. On the positive side, if you go to his office hours he will answer all your questions very thoroughly.

KIA HAS A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR. I HATE MATH BUT I LOOKED FORWARD TO HIS CLASS EVERY DAY. I STRUGGLED WITH THE TESTS BUT HE WAS VERY HELPFUL AND ANSWERED ALL MY QUESTIONS & I GOT AN A IN THE CLASS. NO MANDATORY HOMEWORK. NO QUIZZES. YOU NEED THICK SKIN & A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR TO ENJOY THIS CLASS. IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE KIA IS NOT THE TEACHER FOR YOU.

Oh my god, I wish I could get all my classes with him. I don't know who can give him less than great ! You should be lazy and out of order to not like him ! If you are in the class to study and not to sleep and play, then you will give him the best grade in the world ! I never had such a wonderful experience in the class with any professor before.

Kia is a great professor.If you dont have a self confidence then its your problem ! He is very caring,clear and great in teaching the most difficult subjects.You can understand the math which, you never did before.He is a smart professor ! He wants you to work on the problem so you learn and never forget it ! Which, is the best method.Thanknyou Kia

Kia is a unique Professor, with a power to control the class, teaches the most difficult subject in a way that can be a peice of cake for you. You have to be a serious with a clear goal to enjoy his class! If you are one of those who wants to have fun and just be just dont start, this wonderful, great and energetic, caring Professor is not yours !

Kia was the best professir I've ever had in my life. He cares about every single student.I truly enjoyed his class. His method of teaching is very unique. He is brilliant. The way he controls the class is amazing. His class is fun, motivating and at the same time challenging which, helps you to be prepare for next level. He is the best professor

Kia is the best professor, his explanations are very clear and organized, his class is not boring at all , you are expected to show up and do the work and if you do you will do really well , thanks Kia for a great class

Kia is the best! I loved being in his class. If I hadn't moved I'd take math with him every semester.

Kia cares about his students and wants everyone who tries, to succeed. He makes math fun to go to despite it being a completely boring topic. You will enjoy this professor and be glad you took his class.

He is the Best Professor Ever.No one can teach like him.clear,clear,clear. When you have this Professor you can not get any other one, so please dont get him, you get into a big trouble.you get use to the BEST so no one can satisfy you and the problem starts, so if you want trouble get him. No one can teach like him. he has his own way. The BEST.

He's really sassy and sarcastic but a great teacher. He will probably tease you at some point so if you can't take a joke I wouldn't take him. Other than that he's really funny and helpful. He made class fun, I'd take him again.

Kia is one of the best math professors i have ever had! yes, he is pretty sarcastic and his humor is a bit dry and harsh, but he never means it personally! his tests are fair, no homework, but it is really important that you study on your own time! he offers extra credit on ALL of his tests!!! DONT BUY THE BOOK! other than that he's great!

Kia's a great teacher. If you are willing to put the work in. you too can get an A in Math. Kia goes over everything you will need to pass this class and understand the concepts. Homework is not mandatory, but if you want the A, you will find the motivation to do it. On top of all that, Kia is pretty darn funny. I've never laughed so much in math.

very good with providing extra help when needed.

This is my second class i have taken with kia! seriously great teacher, I have never gotten good grades in math, and I got A and B with kia! makes it easy to understand what he wants and expects of his students!

Kia is such a good teacher! He really, really cares about his students and wants to help! As long as you study for tests and ask questions, you will pass the class easily. Yes he can be sarcastic, but it is never to hurt students, he is very funny, and also gets the job done. He made the class very fun, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Don't be fooled by the bad comments. Kia pulled me aside to tell me he knew I could do better after failing my first 2tests; he offered tutoring ANYTIME you needed and really wants his students to pass if you are willing to work for it. If you are sensitive to jokes DONT take him. He is very sarcastic and quotes Mean Girls a lot. GREAT TEACHER

If you feel that you are not an adequate test taker, do not take Kia's class; every single point in the class comes from tests. Kia is honestly one of the funniest/quick witted person I have ever met. Definitely not an easy A, you have to work for it. Be prepared to be given a random name for the semester; for example, Josh.

So far, in my 1 1/2 year in college, this is the best teacher that I have had. Very Funny. However, much discipline and hard work is required to pass his class.

Show up to class. This teacher will help you pass his course if you show effort and interest in becoming a productive human being even if your Math skills lack.

A class with Kia is a double-edged sword. If your quality of life has a high correlation with the amount of laughs that you have in a day, then this class will be well worth your time. On the other hand, Kia expects quality class participation, quality studying habits, and a respectful attitude.

I liked his personality and his sarcasm. Although, by the end of the semester it seemed like he didn't like our class anymore (the 10 or 12 left out of 40). His jokes became meaner about us. It was kind of freeing though, because he'd make fun of you regardless. All points from tests, second test was the hardest thing ever until the final.

A great teacher, super smart & knowledgeable, knows his material very well, very organized, teaches clearly step by step with lots of examples, has good handwriting & patiently uses different colors to show better. If you take notes, review them, and do the suggested HW, you will succeed.

He's very sarcastic, I found him to be very funny. Doesn't collect homework, as long as you get it done you'll be able to do well on his tests. Gives partial credit on problems where answer is wrong, but the work is correct. Gives you every opportunity to help you pass.

He taught my Math 253 class as well. Overall he tried to help students out as much as possible and tried to make class interesting with occasional sarcasm. If you need help and show that you care about the class he'll help you out.

This class is not to be taken lightly. Kia is more than willing to help you understand the content but you must be willing to put the effort into it. As for his personality, Kia is very sarcastic and enjoys bantering with the students. I personally enjoyed the class and appreciated his sense of humor. This class was difficult but worth taking.

He is a very good teacher

He's absolutely hilarious. Take him if you want to learn a lot of math, without any of the tedious homework attributed to it. The grades are based entirely off of tests, so they dictate your entire outcome. You don't have to come to class if you don't want to, but I recommend coming for his weird stories about milking dolphins for profit.

Kia is a great professor. He is very helpful if you reach out to him. The class is based on four exams and the final. All exams and the final are based on the lectures, homework (that is not graded), and worksheets. The book sucks, but you need to get it. If you want to really understand math take this class. He is hilarious, NOT CHEESY!

Honestly ive never had to study for a test in my life until I took him, he made me realize that I cant BS every one of my classes and that I NEED to challenge myself, im currently in his 253 class the test I studied hard for I got an A the test I didn't study for I got an F he doesn't mess around, know the material (aka, how math works) get an A

Kia is the Greatest of all Professors I have ever had, I had him for Math 253 and will retake him for Math 10. Kia is the BEST !!!!!!!

Not an easy A class. Take him if you really want to LEARN the material as a foundation for higher level courses. Sometimes the lectures techniques are different from the book. Cannot just skip class and learn from the book. If you are motivated, put in the time to study/do homework and really want to learn the material, you will do well.

I took Math 253 and 251 three different times and both my final times were with Kia and he was the ONLY and I mean ONLY professor that I felt cared about the students. Show up, study, and actually try and you'll pass. Kia is a great professor. yes he is tough but, welcome to COLLEGE this isn't high school anymore so don't expect it to be easy.

People are way too critical of Kia. Yeah, he's not for everyone. But, his lectures were helpful, he gives tons of handouts to help you study, and if he can tell you're trying, he will help you out. STUDY. USE EMBEDDED TUTORS IN LRC. He's an awesome guy albeit occasionally ridiculous.

If you're looking to get an easy A, or even need an A on your transcript, I wouldn't recommend this class at all. This class is one the most difficult, painful, but rewarding classes you can take. Kia is a great and inspirational guy, and if you're willing to put it work he will help the most he can. Kia is an incredible guy; don't expect an A..

Stats is a challenging class to pass. Kia has a cheesy sense of humor with a heavy dose of sarcasm which makes all of his lectures entertaining. He is more than happy to help those who want to help themselves. If you show initiative and drive, he is more than willing to help you succeed. Grades very fairly and provides EC on all tests. No homework.

Professor Kia nade it super easy to understand the material. There was no need to do h.w. since lectures were so clear. He grades based on 4 tests and one final (drops lowest test score). He gives "practice test" for every one of them. He's a blunt person with his sarcastic sense of humor, dont take him if easily offended. Funniest math teacher.

I took Kia for Math 253 and Math 10. Great professor, knowledgeable and fun to be around with. Math is hard but to succeed, get good notes, print out the worksheets before the class otherwise he will kick you out and redo the worksheet over and over. He assigns homework but will not be graded, if you do them will do great in the exams.

Absolutely adored kia, I am transferring to SBCC otherwise i would definitely take him for stats 10. He was literally the best, and probably the funniest person I've ever met. Attendance is required forsure. His grading is straight forward, its based off your five test you have. If you do all the homework (thats not graded) you will pass.

The thing I like most about Kia is that he's willing to do anything (within reason) to help you succeed, as along as you're also willing to put in the effort.

Kia expects you to work hard and to pay attention / follow directions; if you do so, you will pass with flying colors and enjoy the class. If you invest your time into him, he will pay it forward. Also, be sure to ALWAYS print out notes and worksheets ahead of time or he WILL kick you out. I highly recommend you take him only if you're dedicated!

Kia is one of the best teachers I've had by far. In the begginning he might have a really big ego, but thats just how he is. Made me take class seriously, and really cares for his students. The class is hard in general- and all the people who say he's the worst honestly couldnt suck it up to complete the semester so i wouldnt listen to them! 10/10

I can think of three different times within the semester I was trying to summon the courage to drop Kia's class. It was by far one of the most challenging classes I have taken. With that being said, it was by far the most rewarding too. Kia will challenge you but if you give him the time and the effort, you will be properly rewarded.

Fast paced and will make fun of you if your question is not worthy. So, you have to have thick skin. Also, If you're trying to take math at an easy level, do not take Kia. Kia warns you in advance that his class will be your LIFE for that duration. Stick it out, you MIGHT/could pass. Ps. He's one of the funniest guys you will ever meet. Be present

This is my second time taking one of Kia's classes. He is really good at teaching and explaining his material. He is utterly hilarious and if you do not find him funny.. bye bye. Math in general is hard and he will move mountains to help any students who need it. He just wants his students to care and take school seriously.

Kia is honest and sarcastic. I liked his humor but I can see how some could hate him. Math is boring but he made it fun! If you act like a college student and care about school and take his class seriously he helps you otherwise he does not care. Do not miss a class do the worksheets and take advantage of his office hours.

Unless you're willing to challenge yourself, study, and go to every class, do not take Kia. Otherwise, he's a very good teacher who explains things very clearly. He just goes over the top sometimes with sarcasm, but if you have some tough skin, you'll learn to find it hilarious. The key to success in his class is the worksheets above all else.

I took Kia for 253 and I have to admit to pass his class you have to put in work. I was lazy and slacked off a lot but I pulled through with an all nighter (not recommended). Luckily I had Pass or No Pass and that saved me. Yes he does have a sarcastic humor and some might see it as "offensive" but he's a very caring guy, especially when u need it

If you can't take sarcastic remarks, don't take this class. There are many times where he would go over the material specifically, and students would ask him to repeat himself. Otherwise, Kia is really helpful if you pay attention and ask the right questions. His tests cover what's in discussed class. Prefers a Casio calculator over anything else.

Kia is hands down my favorite professor. He cares, if you care and you must be willing to put in work if you want an A in his class. Stats with Kia was my most challenging class yet, it was the most rewarding by the end of the semester! I highly recommend taking this class, I am SO Happy(: with all I have learned. Plus, free coffee during O-HRS!

Kia is not for everyone. It is definitely not an easy A class and his personality is not for everyone. He makes you work hard for your grade. After the second test I put a ton of time into this class but it was rewarding!! he helps if you show him that you care. 4 tests and he drops the lowest. Do the worksheets and take advantage of office hours.

Hands down my favorite teacher at Saddleback!! I am in trig right now and I had kia for math 253. He had us work really hard but I am glad that he did. I learned a lot and I am using what I learned now. His lectures are clear, worksheets are useful and class was never dull! 4 midterms and he drops the lowest score. Like those that participate.

If you want to learn math take Kia's class. Avoid if you are not willing to work hard and cannot take a joke. He makes math fun! Kia has a sassy attitude but he does care about his students. Do the worksheets and take advantage of the tutors at the LRC. I enjoyed his class and will take stats with him next semester!

He is a funny Professor that is always sarcastic, but is always willing to help if needed. He likes to make jokes a lot so if your easily butt hurt then this is not a class for you. His grading is tough but he explains everything that he is looking for so its all on you to do it. recommended if willing to learn and laugh.

Kia is sarcastic and loves to joke at everyone's expense, including his own! But when it comes to math he means business. His lecture are clear so are his expectations. I really like how he used different colors on the board. It made it easier to follow. He wants you to do the work on the problems so you can learn. He is caring and energetic!

I took math 253 with Kia last semester. He is smart, witty, funny and brutally honest so avoid if you cannot deal with sarcasm. 4 test and he drops the lowest one. I am a returning student and I had to work really hard to pass his class but it was worth it. He will help you as long as you show him you are interested. Do all the worksheets.

Kia is awesome but a bit wacky. Im not a fan of Math, but this class was never boring. Really helpful, wants you to understand. If you are willing he is willing to help. no attendance, no homework. but should attend every class to understand the material. if you miss one day, you'll be missing a lot.

Kia is definitely charismatic. Ive had him for Math 253 353 for both continuity purposes, also I find his style of teaching meshes well with my personality. He does his best to make algebra fun by cracking jokes along the way, sometimes at the expense of the student so thick skin is required. If you have a sense of humor, you will enjoy his class.

He's a really caring guy & truly wants to & will help you but only if you put in some effort as well. If your slacking off & being disrespectful you won't like him because he'll treat you the way your treating his class. He's a really tough grader & likes things done his way but gives partial and extra credit. Took him on my 3 attempt & passed.

He lightened up the intense situation with his idea of humor, which helped make the experience more enjoyable. Overall he was a good teacher who was always willing to help. You better study and make sure you attend. He is willing to give you as much help as you need. Don't buy the book!!

Those complaining about his style, they might have just not vibe well with his humor but their failing grade is purely their own fault. Kia lays out explicitly how he the work and tests should be done and does like to joke around on the side. He's a good guy when you pick up on his personality and will help anyone he believes is trying.

Kia is the best professor I have ever had. most of the people having a problem with his humor, because they don't get jokes. His lecture and hand writing is amazing, . He cares a lot and makes himself available after the class if he sees you need help. His embedded tutors are so helpful and they are exactly like him but a little bit nicer!

Super easy stuff! If you have more than 10 brain cells you should pass. Kia is a very smart cookie, if you pay attention to the lectures the tests will go by in a breeze. TAKE TAKE THIS CLASS IT IS AN EASY A!!!!!!

Kia is a great professor. If you pay attention, go to class, do the worksheets, practice, and study you should pass. Kia will make you work for your grade but you will learn a lot from this class. Take advantage of his office hours because he is always willing to help. Go to Kia Palooza because that's when I started to do better on exams.

As long as you go to class and study throughout each chapter and for the tests, you should be fine. He does a good job of explaining concepts and he makes himself available outside of class to answer any questions you have. I think the only issue people have with him is he has a dark sense of humor, but overall he is a really good professor.

Let's preface this. I hate math. I'm good at it, but I don't like it. Kia's class is 100% test-based, so if you don't do well with self-study and motivating yourself to work, prepare to fail. His lectures are really helpful, he has great handwriting and color-coded notes, but be prepared to make a study group and CRAM before tests.

Kia is a great professor but you will have to try in the class. He offers office hours and study sessions and if you put in the effort he will help you. He is sarcastic but in a funny way and keeps class entertaining.

All of the negative ratings on here are accurate. He's tough if you show up and act like you don't care. If you show that you are trying, he has opportunities for extra credit and hes helpful. He does have a mean sense of humor which I loved about him but some people couldn't handle it. You're in college, grow up. I got over 100% in this class.

Tests are like, once a day

Professor Kia does care about his students and their success. An example of that is that he is available after hours, he offers study sessions almost every Friday(Kiapalooza). He is a tough Professor, he expects you to work hard, make an effort and ask questions. He does make heavy/sarcastic jokes, but don't take them personal, he's a good guy.

He is a good teacher, who expects you to put work into his course. Its not an "easy class" but he is through and gives plenty of opportunity in and out of class to go over material with him. Honestly one of the best teachers I've ever had.

Kia's class was pretty great. If you don't have thick skin and if you can't laugh at yourself, then this class is NOT for you. However, if you pay attention to the lectures and put in time outside of class to study, you'll pass. The only thing I didn't like was the group project, but other than that if you ask questions and PRACTICE, you'll succeed

Kia is not a bad teacher and his grading system isn't all that different from that of other professors. His lectures are clear and if you pay attention, come to class prepared, and actually do the worksheets that he provides, you will pass this class. Don't waste money on the textbook, the worksheets are enough to get the concepts.

I took statistics with Professor Shafe this past Spring. The class was online, but it did require a lot of work. I spent anywhere between 8-12 hours on this class per week in order to understand and complete the material. Theres lot of homework, but its what you need to be successful. I took this class as a mom working full time. You can do it.

Took math 10 with Kia in the spring semester. He was super helpful after we had to move to the online format. Clear instructions, and quick replies to emails. Tests were fare but you have to do the homework.

Took online statistics with Prof. Shafe last semester. The class instructions were clear. Weekly homework,2 tests, 4 quizzes and he drops the lowest score. He was quick to reply back to emails. You really have to do the HW and pay attention to test reviews. My only complaint is that some weeks we had a lot of work to do and some weeks very little.

I took math 10 with professor Shafe in summer. He had clear grading system, very good with responding to emails and weekly reminders.

I took math 253 with professor Shafe. He was a helpful math teacher, he sent us weekly emails to remind us of our work and was quick to reply back to emails. Class was well organized and I like how he gave us feedback on our work. Tests were fair and exam reviews were really helpful.

I took statistics online with professor Shafe. I start with what I didn't like, I work more than 30 hours per week so some weeks the amount of work was insane and the amount of class participation was below average. What I liked was how he was quick to respond to emails, his statcrunch solutions were really helpful and Canvas was nicely organized.

It had been many years since I had taken a math course so I was not too sure what to expect when beginning this class, this class was a struggle for me but I am very happy I took it his class was insightful and interesting. Professor Kia was prompt in replying to emails and giving us feedback. Overall it was a lot of work but it was very organized

Professor Kia was such a good helpful professor, I could not have asked for a better math professor!! He was very supportive and encouraging. I worked very hard and it paid off.

Hands down one of the best online classes that I have ever taken!! This class was a ton of work but I am glad I did in eight weeks. Very organized schedule with clear expectations and a few opportunities for extra credit. I personally liked how professor Kia was quick to reply back to questions, and his weekly updates. Do the midterm reviews!!!

I had to drop his class due to personal issues but he is really a good teacher, organized and you can tell he cares for his students, I will be retaking it with him in the fall.

Professor Kia was great and very understanding with me if I felt like I was falling behind at all. He was encouraging and prompt with emails, a very time-consuming class yet involved the necessary repetition to truly understand the fundamental concepts of I liked the layout of the quizzes and use of statcrunch.

Im not going to lie, based on the reviews here I had mixed feelings about this class but professor Kia was amazing! I benefited from the supportive initiative to keep us determined through the course. I also loved our amazing embedded tutor!! she was a really great element in this course. Make sure to do the extra credits!

Definitely felt like this was one of the harder math classes Ive taken mostly due to the lack of a human teaching me. Grading is based on homework, 4 quizzes, three exams and a final. The exams were similar to the reviews so that gave like a familiarity to the exam. Professor Kia was very encouraging, he was fast to respond to our emails.

This class was definitely a lot to take in but once you find a schedule, it was so much more manageable. Personally, I think Kia did great with answering any questions I had during the semester. Kia and his TA were both very responsive and quick to get to the bottom of any issues that we came across.

Professor Kia was always very nice and on top of everything and I can tell he genuinely cares about his students. He was one of the most caring and encouraging professors I have had at Saddleback, I was never confident in math, but I feel I am ready to take the classes that I need to succeed as a future computer science major.

I felt super overwhelmed at the beginning of this course, however, the course is setup in a way that it is very easy to navigate around what we need to do. Kia did a great job with reminders and keeping us motivated. I feel like the most important thing in this class was having the necessary time and dedication it required.

Overall, this course was super solid and I really enjoyed the organization week to week. I also really liked when we had discussion boards that were not math related.

I took a six-week summer course, at first, I was caught off guard by the amount of weekly sections, but after spreading out the sections, it was not too bad. In my opinion this class was pretty well managed all throughout. I also appreciated Kias support and it made me want to do better in the course.

The 8-week class was challenging and heavy in workload but Kia did a great job in providing us with resources that allow us to succeed in this class. I loved the office hours every week with Karen and having multiple attempts on the quizzes and assignments was a huge relief for me.

This was my first time back at school in years and although heavy in workload Kia designed the course in a way that was very organized. Kia was very encouraging and quick at responding to worries and questions. Karen office hours were really helpful, multiple attempts on homework and quizzes were a huge plus.

I think this class was pretty straightforward, tests were alight and the reviews before tests really helped me to better understand the material. I feel like if you put the time in then you will get through the course, taking good notes is a key! Professor Kia was very encouraging and pretty quick to respond to our questions.

I loved the whole online class. It saves so much time and money to take classes online. I will say this was definitely the hardest math I have taken to date, but that did not mean that I did not enjoy the class. The course was easy to navigate and well planned. Professor Shafe was truly encouraging throughout the semester.

Very encouraging and caring professor, you can tell he genuinely cares. I was very afraid of taking an online math class but the course was well organized and there were a ton of resources available on canvas. He was very responsive to emails and really good at providing feedback.

Statistics is a tough subject but I liked the self-paced environment, and the setup made it easy to navigate the course. There are Three online monitored exams straight from the reviews, multiple quizzes and opportunities for extra credit. Sends reminders and is easily accessible and really responsive to emails.

Took professor Shafe online for statistics, this class does require a lot of work but the homework, quizzes, midterm and final are all doable. You don't have to remember any formulas because you can make your own formula sheet for the midterm and final, study guides are super helpful. There are 3 extra credits and weekly discussions.

You will learn a lot but be ready to work and learn for your grade. Professor Shafe did a great job organizing the course and making it easy for us to learn and earn a good grade. Thanks Professor Shafe!

Professor Kia is really amazing because Statistics is not an easy class. I really like that she always supported us and sent feedback and motivation messages It was really encouraging. I also really appreciated the ability to have extra credits and multiple attempts on the tests!!!

I thought that this class was run very straight forward and easy to follow along, the homework assignments took a very long time, but they were very helpful in learning the material. I believe the extra credit assignments do help bring your grade up. Overall, I think this class has taught me a lot and I really enjoyed it!

Professor Shafe sent weekly reports and always encouraged students to do the work. Canvas was straightforward, and I liked the extra credits and reviews.

I took this course because I had already taken a similar course in the past so I knew I could do a large portion of it by myself. I am not the best at math so I was a bit nervous to take this class online but everything was organized so well in the modules which was really helpful.

Overall, Kia was probably the best professor I have had in college. He makes himself available outside of class, and is always willing to help his students. His class was challenging, but he offers multiple extra credits and is generous with partial credit on the exams. Study guides were always provided before the exams and final. Take him!

The online program was very clear! It is very homework heavy but that's to be expected for an eight-week course. If you do the work you'll get an A, not a class you can slack off in! I have taken two of his online courses, and both were great, take him!!

His class is extremely organized and clear. He provides fast feedback and is available to help by email. Test reviews set you up for what's on the test. The grade is based mostly on homework as well as on the quizzes then the tests.

Professor Shafe is great math teacher. She is organized and gives a lot of extra credits.

I felt Professor Shafe understood how daunting and demanding a course like this can be, especially in 8 weeks. I was so impressed with how this course was set up and managed he provided resources, opportunities, and empathy for us to really do our best. StatCrunch was AMAZING at helping me learn and test reviews were a great resource.

I believe that the class as a whole was a great one, professor Shafe was so easy to communicate with which was encouraging and appreciate having multiple chances on the quizzes and tests was super helpful.

Personally, I don't like math in general therefore it's really difficult to be motivated specially when there is a huge workload and I feel the assignments could have been spaced out more. Otherwise, Professor Shafe was very helpful, encouraging, and kind.

Statistics is a very challenging class. especially since it's much different from what we are used to in high school leveled classes. Professor Shafe was very responsive to emails the amount of work was insane but the amount of extra credit is incredible compared to any other class.

I think that the class was very fair, I liked the extra credits and I feel the class was organized I felt that the quizzes and tests were fair for the most part and I liked that all of the questions were covered on the study guide that was given to us. I did not like the weekly discussions and some of the video lectures were a bit confusing.

The class was super straightforward and self explanatory, you will succeed only if you put in the effort and patience towards the class. Knowing what to expect each week was really nice. I think Kia did a great job of answering emails in a timely fashion. Being reminded every week has definitely been very helpful.

Honestly, he's probably the funniest professor I've ever met. He's pretty laid back, as long as you do what you're supposed to do. My suggestion is to really pay attention and write down/remember how to do all of your problems on Statcrunch

Kia is honestly the best math teacher I have ever had. He really cares about his students and is always willing to meet with you outside of class time. I have never had a teacher who will come to school on the weekend just to help his students but Kia did just that. He was great

I came into this class with no background in pre-calc, but Kia was really willing to help. I would literally go to his office hours before every class, and he genuinely wanted me to succeed. Even if I found the class to be difficult, as long as you put in work, do the homework, and ask for help, it truly is manageable!

For all assignments notes, tests, and hw we use MyLab and for the most part it is convenient since we don't have to calculate by hand, but sometimes the textbook has wrong answers or covers stuff that he didn't learn so you have to end up teaching yourself some of it. Other than that, gives good feedback and always takes time to explain concepts.

Kia was hands down the best math professor I've ever had!!! I actually enjoyed going to class!! You could tell he cared for his students, he was available even on Saturdays! Keep up the good work kia!!!

I have to admit the workload in this class was pretty hectic, time management was one of the key factors in the success of this course. Professor Shafe was very good with emails and discussions. Tests were pretty straightforward, if you completed all of your assignments, you were in a good position for taking exams.

I haven't taken a math class in a long time, so perhaps I needed more time to study than others. However, I found the homework to be repetitive and time-consuming. On the other hand, I believe Professor Kia did an outstanding job of explaining the course from the beginning. The syllabus was also comprehensive, practice tests were pretty useful.

I liked this class, based on other math courses I have taken in the past. For the most part, I personally feel like the class was set up good but the homework was totally repetitive. Professor Kia was very quick to respond to emails which was a great thing. A good amount of opportunities for extra credit!

One of the best online classes I have ever had. There are no surprises in his course, whatever you see in the homework and test reviews will be on the tests. quizzes are open notes and you get 4 attempts. He went out of his way to help me with my questions.

I have to say, Kia's class may not be suitable for everyone, as he is quite strict and could come across as intimidating. I personally believe that his teaching style has adequately prepared me for my calculus course. He was also understanding and accommodating. we had to take 3 midterms, 4 quizzes, and complete three extra credit projects.

Personally, I feel that the class was solid. I think the homework, quizzes, and exams were all fair and the class was well structured. Professor Kia was very responsive to emails and discussions, I just wish there was a little more leniency on makeups.

Professor Kia is an exceptional, knowledgeable, and organized educator. He promptly responds to emails. It is essential to review his syllabus carefully. The workload is manageable with consistent effort. You shouldn't worry since you have an opportunity to drop the 4 lowest assignment grades and 1 quiz. I enjoyed his practical class.

Professor Kia's MATH10 class is well-structured, with helpful lectures and clear expectations. The workload is manageable with consistent effort. unstuckstudy ai and the practice tests were great study aids. Overall, a challenging but rewarding course.

This math class was such a great experience! I loved how much we got to work in groups. It really helped me understand the material better because sometimes. Plus, it felt amazing when we finally figured out tough problems as a team. Professor Kia was really supportive, and I actually started to enjoy math more because of it!

This math class was fantastic! The group work made learning fun and engaging. Collaborating with classmates made me comfortable asking questions and feeling less anxious. I'd highly recommend this class to anyone!

Honestly speaking, I felt motivated and engaged. I enjoyed the course, and I wish more classes had a structure like this. The homework and reviews were incredibly helpful for the exams, and we were allowed a cheat sheet to help with extra information we might have needed. 9/10!!

For an 8-week course, I genuinely appreciate how the class was structured, I learned so much in this class and enjoyed it a lot. I was very motivated by the fast-paced nature of this class and thoroughly enjoyed it. Overall great job Professor!!

The class was pretty hard and there were a lot of assignments. The professor is really nice, though. He uses Pearson, which I didn't like at first but it's okay once you get used to i. I missed an assignment in the first week, but I explained the situation to him politely and he was very understanding. Just don't take advantage of his kindness.

I think this was a good math class to get back into the groove of school. The announcements and clear expectations were enough to keep me involved and motivated during the course. The fact that they were extra credit kept me motivated to finish them even if I thought I was ready for the test, which has helped my grades tremendously.

idek how i passed this hard class but kia is a cool guy

A very humorous and nice professor. The course is a bit challenging and involves quite a few quizzes and exams. But Kia is very professional and explains the key points clearly and understandably. Before each exam, he also distributes a review sheet. There are also easily obtainable extra credits. Anyway. Kia is a cool guy! Choose him!

I took an 8-week math 2 course online with him last semester. he is incredibly fair with his grading, and quite gracious with his extra credit. If you take this class, do ALL of it you can. he provides plenty of lecture materials. Exams are difficult and quite long, but well-applied. make sure you study and don't skip out on lectures. no late work.

Failed cause I suck at math. If your feelings get easily hurt don't take him. Personally me? Loved his energy. Class flew by every day because he was always teaching relevant topics and was extremely passionate. Work groups were fun, solving problems were fun. Your either going to love it or hate it and he's not going to care either way lol

One of my favorite professors at saddleback. His classes were always funny and engaging. Although it is a lot of work, he gives a lot of extra credit. He is super nice and will go in depth if you have any questions. I loved his class and would highly recommend it.

I took this class as a summer course and was pretty worried prior to taking it. The class itself was hard (maybe js for me as math is a difficult subject), but Professor Shafe himself was so kind and quick to respond! Any questions you may have, ask him!! He is there and happy to help u

Great professor. His teaching style is interactive; you work out math problems with your peers at the board, which really helped me understand the concepts. He is also hilarious, and his lectures are never boring. The class is long, but he gives a 15-minute break halfway through. He holds extra tutoring sessions after class (sometimes with pizza).

It's college so show up, do the work, and put in the time outside of class. If you are a sensitive person, to bad cupcake, the world isn't sunshine and rainbows. He explains everything well and uses color markers for the visual learners. Study groups are very helpful. HW is not graded but useful! Test Qs are usually found in notes or worksheets!

Not only is he funny he cares. If you do your work and pay attention it's an easy pass.

He is very entertaining but this class is very difficult because Kia doesn't teach what we need to be taught. You don't learn stats you learn STATCRUNCH. Some of the homework questions have 13 parts per one question. The reviews take HOURS if you don't cheat. Everyday we do notes and have homework assignments all due on Sunday night. Hard to pass.
