He is a great professor if you already have a solid grasp on mathematics. He gives out homework for each thing, but it is submitted online. Out of the Math professors I have had, he is one that cares the most and tries to get everyone to understand. Gives tricks with the calculator that could help in other classes as well.

Dr. Killburn will make sure you leave the class knowing every angle to tackle a problem from. For calculus 2 quizzes he allows you to take them as a group. He understands that the content of the class is difficult.

Very difficult class, but Dr. Kilburn is a great professor. Very helpful and has good lectures. I got through this class by creating a study group, which helped a lot. Highly recommend doing that for student success. Difficult exams that make you think. Talk to other students in class and make a study group. He encourages it.

Awesome professor. He loves students who take extra time to understand material discussed in class that may not be clear to them initially. He is very open to questions during and after class. He is notorious for making difficult finals and exams, but that's because he expects students to put forth full effort on all the homework and quizzes.

Dr. Kilburn is a wonderful professor. All you have to do is show up for class and pay attention. He provides opportunities to go over things until it is understood. The homework and tests are almost exactly what was gone over in class. He makes his classes light-hearted and humorous. I would recommend taking this course with him if you can.

Goes through examples on how to do the problems on the board and works through them step by step. Explains everything clearly, stops to ask if there is any questions, etc. Very solid teacher and would definitely recommend taking his class if you struggle in math. A lot of online work & tests, final was the only in person grade.

I absolutely LOVE this professor. He is the kindest professor who genuinely enjoys his job and wants to help his students learn and understand the material. If you have questions, ask them! You don't need to come to class, but if you want to pass I would suggest it. Also my textbook was never used; I wouldn't recommend buying one.

I absolutely LOVE this professor. He genuinely wants his students to learn and understand the material. If you have a question, ask him! While attendance isn't mandatory, I would go if you want to understand Calculus. Also, I wouldn't recommend buying a textbook; I never used mine.

He is a great person and professor, caring, and is very understanding. He lectures very well and gets the class involved. He teaches under the assumption that you are proficient in previous math courses. Make sure to attend all classes even though its not mandatory, because he teaches very fast. 1 to 2 lessons are taught per hour.

Professor Kilburn runs a tough class, but his lectures are worth attending. The homework is challenging, so using resources like unstuck ai alongside the textbook can be really helpful. Stay focused, make a study group, and you'll get through this class.

I struggled in math in high school. Dr. Kilburn made me no longer struggle. Despite his class being non-mandatory, I recommend going to class. You will learn. Homework, quizzes, tests, and even the final were online. Had to go into his class for one page of the final. Easy. He makes his classes light hearted and will respect you if you do the same.

Amazing lectures
