I agree that Statistics is hard class, but this is first time I made a mistake by going with the reviews for this teacher. In class tests are extremely hard and not enough time to complete them. Don't believe that it will be the same material as the Review exam notes or what he says in the study guide. Don't believe me, find out for yourself.

Avoid. Kyle think everyone was made to become a statistician, which is not the case. He doesnt explain anything, basically just reads off the pages that we have in front of us and when asked why are we supposed to do a certain thing in a certain way, he simply says because thats how you do it. Grading is appalling, takes a lot of points off.

Pt1: Kyle gave me a love for calculus I didn't know I could have. He goes TO THE ROOT of ideas. He knows that there is a lot that a college student has to do, and he challenges you to exceed those expectations in his class. It is as much a math class as it is a life lesson to go above and beyond the quality that is expected. And it feels great!

Pt2: I deserved the B. I only rose to the standard that Kyle was pushing me to in spurts, instead of in a concerted effort. Kyle understands that inspiration is all about gently and naturally showing people the right way to do things, so that when they see it, they will naturally be drawn to it and make it their own. I thank him for that lesson.

Students! please merit those discussion

While Kyle has a great personality, he is one of the worst teachers I've ever taken. He is teaching in a pedantic manner. His exams are really hard(x3). He does not allow students to demonstrate that they have got a grasp on the content. Do not expect the homework to boost your grade. I have attended every lecture yet have not felt confident at all

Kyle is a great professor, bad reviews don't do him justice. This class is not for lazy people like myself, take it if you really want to understand calculus. Hopefully I'll be able to get away with a P this semester. I'd still take Kyle over any other professor because even with the bad grade I feel like I understand more now.

First and foremost, his lectures are really worth attending. He not only does a good job of explaining what but also why something is the way it is. If you want to do well in the class be prepared to practice from the book, show detailed work, and ask him questions during his office hours.

He's a though grader guys. He grades HW like if they were exams, and the exams are worse. His class is so stressful. If you don't like math but have to take this course, I really do wish you luck. Other than the bad things about calc 1, he is very caring. He will really take time to help u understand a concept. His HW will not help ur grade at all.

He grades HW harshly and will take points off for anything. His lectures can be anywhere from 2 to 4 hours long and he tends to overcomplicate concepts. Tests are tough and his study guide doesn't help at all. He also doesn't give his students enough practice which is the most important part of calculus.

Business statistics isn't easy, but Kyle will help. You do lots of ungraded work (taking notes during his video lectures, practicing other notes), but he wants you to understand the material. He always replied to my emails with detailed explanations. 12 homeworks, 4 exams, 1 final. Exams are timed and tricky. They form most of the grade so study.

Hes decent. Be aware that taking math online with this prof is not a good idea. For whatever reason I just could not work with him. The grading is petty, points off homework for minimal things and it is very frustrating. He's a nice guy, responds to emails but the one thing that throws me off is the grading.

Nothing bad to say about Kyle. Took his blended Honors course. The in-person class meetings consisted of just doing worksheets. Recorded lectures were clear and actually explained the concepts rather than just listed rules to memorize.

Prof. Knee goes the extra mile to make an already difficult course harder. You will need to recall ALL you knew from calc 1 from, mixing the new difficult concepts with ambiguous elements from calc 1 that you won't know how to do until its already graded. Even if you get the right answer, if it's not with his one approach out of many, its wrong.

He tries to explain the concept to you, but many a times he does not solve the problems fully, he leaves them for you to solve. He is a tough grader. He is passionate about Math, but he needs to understand that we are just students, not experienced teachers. For a 100% work, you will get only 70%.
