hes a good teacher

hard to understand his accent, but easy

Awesome teacher. A quirky sorta funny, but very cool. He knows what he's teaching, and does it very well. If you are gonna take any math classes where he is teaching, try and get him, you shouldn't regret it.

Great teacher, exam problems are exactly from example in class. Knows his stuffs well. Take him for easy A.

Easy for a math teacher. Very fun to learn from. Explains the materially very clearly. Test questions are right out of book sometimes. Do the homework and you'll be fine.

Good teacher.

Awesome teacher, very nice and understanding. Don't miss class and do ALL of your homework. Tests can be tricky if you don't recall your trig functions. Funny guy. Watch out for the "culprits".

Awesome professor. Do all your homework twice and go to class everyday you will ace the tests. "No Problem"

Excellent Prof.

DO ALL THE HOMEWORK! Twice, or three times if necessary!! Very fair and wants you to learn the material. Tests are fair and come mainly from the homework - no curves, you pick 5 of 6 questions to answer. DO THE HOMEWORK and you will pass easily.

Fantastic teacher. Go to class every day and pay attention because he's a lot easier to understand than the book. Do the homework and ask him for help on the projects. He really wants you to pass his class so if you need more help, go to office hours.

Great professor. Explains thoroughly with lots of examples. Pratice exams which are almost verbatim to the exam unless otherwise stated. Very friendly and willing to help. Slight accent, but understandable. If he warns you about mistakes he sees frequently, TAKE NOTE. Always show to class and take notes. Do not underestimate SEQUENCES AND SERIES!

He was as cool as a math teacher could be. Go to class.

not a boring teacher and tests were fair.

really easy class, show up, take notes, and do hw. If u do that you will get an A or B. He's pretty funny sometimes too.

I loved this class!! Dr. KV is a great teacher and a nice guy. Everything was clear and interesting!

Very strong accent, hard to understand at times. Really good teacher though. Come to class, do the homework, and STUDY hard and you will be okay.

Very Good at showing examples and he cares about you learning. He is very sympathetic. At times he can be hard to understand but he says the same thing a different way so you will understand. Very good teacher!!

I had him in Summer 2008. He was very good at teaching us the material, and we did examples in class. His tests were challenging, but if you did the problems he assigned, you should do well. He also grades pretty fairly. He is also a very friendly professor and very approchable. He does have an accent, but you can understand what he says.

Attendance is mandatory. Very good professor. I feel like I really learned a lot and know more than the C I got. Partially my fault but test start easy and get hard. Some involve calc that I didn?t remember like sin(2u) = 2sin(u)cos(u) and power series. Tests come from mainly the hard problems in the book.

Special Functions class. Excellent professor - very helpful and got me excited about this abstract graduate material.

Dr. KV is a great professor. He doesn't skip steps like many others and he is very easy to understand. His tests in Special Functions are very fair. Half were take-home, half in-class. The in-class tests all contained problems right from the notes or the homework (or even a previous test).

Very good teacher and a nice guy too. Grades harshly, but fairly. Very reasonable test questions, all from hw and in-class problems. Go to class and do the homework and you'll be fine. I learned a lot and I'm planning on taking his classes in the future.

He is a good teacher. Does a good amount of problems in class so it is clear to the students. His tests are fair. All you gotta do is show up, do ALL the hw he assign, and practice the problems he does in class. If you do that, you will pass w/o a problem. Plus he's a very funny guy. Also helpful if you to his office hours

Strongly recommend this professor. He does plenty of examples and helps with whatever you don't understand. His test can be a little difficult but there are no curveballs, if you did the homework then the test will be easy. Plus he a very funny guy just do the work and you should get an A

Good professor. He teaches with ppts straight from the book. The tests are easy if you do the hw and know how to do the examples he gives in class. He's funny and VERY motivational; "There's no difference between you and me. It may take me one try and you two, but you can do it."

Dr. KV is a blast. He presents info in a very straightforward manner. Take good notes and the class is easy.

He is funny and a nice guy, who is willing to help you. But you sit in class and take notes as he tries to explain a powerpoint he has never looked at before. Although attendance is mandatory, you could just go sleep because it's easier to just teach yourself the material. I'm failing this class and I have never gotten below a 95 in a math class.

I personally felt like I understood the material, but the test problems were often obscure. I had Ms. K. who was great, and seemed to care about her students the most. KV is funny...Supposay, simple solutions to complicated problems. He also resets the iClicker questions like once a class which is entertaining. I got a C-

KV is a great professor. Do well on the skills tests, get a's on your hw, and go to class. I missed two application sessions and two lectures. It's worth going to class just to enjoy his sense of humor. My skills tests were b,c,f,d. In class were 38, 68, 58, 81. I ended up getting a C.

If you have prior knowledge of calc like from AP, you'll be fine. If you don't then this class will be a lot of work. I got an A in the class, just do the homework and make use of your TA's hours. Don't loose points for stupid things like attendance and homework!

Pretty good professor. Exams and quizzes are fair.

Great teacher. Had him for Calc 1 and differential equations. Fair tests with partial credit. Easy homework assignments that help with class understanding and count for 10% of grade.

DR. KV,He is a man who is incredibly passionate about his students learning. However,I found it near impossible to keep my focus durring his early class. Many of my peers did incredibly well, so i am assuming the fault is my own. He will help you as much as possible, so long as you put in your side of the effort. would take again.

He uses printed out notes that he puts on a Dotcam and he goes really fast - too fast to take notes - but he also provides the notes a day or 2 before on WC. Very clear problems in both the notes and the nongraded HW he assigns although the Online Wileyplus HW sucked - way too hard and different from class material. Test problems worth a lot

Has an accent, but after a week or so you get used to it. He isnt the best at answering questions in class, but he really does an excellent job explaining concepts. Don't study the homework, study his in class examples, as those are what will be on the test. Homework isn't too helpful as it doesn't reflect what he did in class. Would take again.

Dr. KV's accent was kinda hard to adjust to at first, but eventually I got used to it. His lectures weren't very clear, but he did plenty of practice problems which helped me understand the material. He prepares you well for the tests, just go through and do the textbook problems he assigned and you'll be fine.

His accent is easy to understand. The best calculus professor I've come across. He does not picked the hardest questions are tries to make students fail.

Nice guy and explained things well. If you understand the examples he provides and the questions from the book then you'll do just fine. I read some of these other reviews before I signed up and tried to avoid him because of it, but now that I'm reaching the end of the class I'm glad I have him as a teacher. Nothing to be scared of.

The beginning of the semester he wrote on the board & then he uploaded the notes online & would project them on the board & just read through them. Print the notes bc he can go fast sometimes. He gave little homework that wasn't graded & tests were similar to examples. Grade made up of only 4 tests. Overall, he was a fine professor. Would recommend

Not a bad teacher, considering that Calculus 2 is just hard. His tests were based on assignments (non-graded) he gave from the book, and in class examples. Partially teaches from a PowerPoint. Webassign homework is the only homework graded. Keeping on top of everything, unlike myself, will yield a good grade.

Calculus II is hard, but he is an excellent teacher. His tests are fair, just do the example problems in class, as well as the graded WebAssign and ungraded book assignments. He was one of the most entertaining professors I have ever had, but he still taught us all of the necessary material. Would definitely take him again.

Dr. KV is a good choice, some of the reviews on here make him seem like a far worse professor than he actually is. Make sure you go over the in-class examples and if he is going over slides during the lecture make sure you print them out beforehand.

His class consisted of going over the theorems for the lesson, then doing a bunch of practice problems. If you're someone who needs a step by step way of solving a problem this isn't the class for you. 100% of your grade is based on testing, so you have to be good at taking exams. That being said, he is very clear about what will be on the tests.

Dr. KV is a great professor. He doesnt pull questions out of thin air, as he likes to say. Every question that he asks on the quizzes and tests are straight from the homework or the lecture. Though there are a lot of problems to choose from, he does give subtle hints that he might ask a certain question. Just pay attention and itll be ok.

Summer '22. Amazing hand-written notes uploaded on WC well before material was to be covered (you can get ahead). Reinforces understanding w/ many practice problems in class & for HW. Practice problems are comparable to exam/quiz questions. Amazing English (not monotone, speaks loud & clear). Possibly the #1 math professor at UCF.

Calc 2 is known for being hard. He makes it easy. His tests and quizzes are entirely based off of homework (which isn't graded), but do them anyway. I failed the midterm, but allows for a replacement based off of your final. Don't slack off, do the homework, review it several times over and know the concepts. Calc 2 is not a joke.

1 thing I learned from Mathematics, it's all rigorously proven so there's no room for discussion or questions. That means if you have a silly question and you ask K.V. it, he will rip you apart like you should already know it. I like that he keeps the standards high and his course material is easily outlined. Just don't get on his bad side :)

he's really hard to talk to, but his grading is fair and all the questions on the tests are question that were either assigned for homework or done in class.

Solid professor overall. His blunt responses can discourage questions, which is unfortunate, but he does a good job explaining the material and making sure the class is ready for exams. Exams were 90% of the course grade but mostly contained recycled homework problems, so they are not too difficult if you put in the work to prepare for them.

Can be rude and condescending to students sometimes, and gets off track frequently, but still a great teacher. Assigns optional HW, but do it anyway since all quiz/test questions are taken directly from HW problems. Fair grader, no extra credit.

Overall, his exams are difficult unless you really study his slides and know the concepts well. most questions came directly from the quizzes/lecture slides. he also allows the final to replace one of the 3 midterms if you score higher on the final.
