He is the best if you really need math. I mean he really knows what he's doing. Also, he helps you if you go to his office. He always helps. But I'm telling you, if you need math or really want to learn math, take him.

Kashi is the best teacher I ever had. I want to be an engineer, and I really learned from him. I have to have math. I have to know it not just pass it. If you want an easy "A", there are plenty of teachers at Santa Ana and Santiago Canyon who will pass students whether they deserve it or not.

Very unreasonable instructor when it comes to exams and quizes. Expectations were not given clearly. If you can avoid taking his class, by all means do so. He should not be in teaching business since he showed no caring for his students. It's unfortunate to have him as a teacher.

Focused on numerical results, not our train of thoughts, or how we arrived at the answer. Perhaps he never holds a real job after he graduated. I'd not recommend him to anyone I know since we'll not get much out of his lecture. Quizes & tests are so unreasonable hard. If many people dropped his classes he should take some responsibility himself.

kashi made calc 2 very easy, he gives you take-home practice tests which are VERY identical to the actual test. He does this for every exam including the final

This class is hard, but it's because of the materials of calc 2. Expect to spend a lot of time and effort studying, doing homework, going to math center, and doing the test reviews. He also offered a few ways to earn extra credit, and this helps a lot with the grade. If you try hard, you will get an A

Best math professor you can take he's not easy but he really prepares you to succeed in his class you just have to put in the effort, he even goes to study with you at Starbucks the weekend before an exam, his class was pretty tough but no surprises as he gives you study guides that are similar to the tests, if you want to learn he is a must take.

If you want to pass and understand Calculus, I do not recommend this teacher. REFUSES to answer questions from previous homework assignments. Makes you feel stupid for asking questions. Lazy grader. The homework that took up half my notebook got an F because I didn't do the specific problem that he wanted to grade. Don't waste your time here.

This guy will help you learn math. If you don't want to study and do your part, you will probably not like his style. But, lots and lots of us who need math take him for everything. He's a wonderful human being and so nice. Some people don't really, really study deeply and then complain. I highly highly highly recommend him.

Easiest Professor Ever!!!!!! Only showed up for exams and still got an A. On the final exam I drew a flower for one of the questions and still got credit haha. This professor hands out 1000 extra credit points and gives you A's for just turning in homework. Who would have thought you could get through calculus without doing anything.

If you need to take several math classes for your major, Kashi is excellent. You will be prepared for every level.

He doesn't water down his classes. Why is this bad? It is not, especially if you actually need math at the university level. Do your homework, go to his office. He will help! He's really dedicated.

He's very hard to hear at at times, very slow in lecture (take a whole class to go through 2 problems), really strict (d/dx is not y'), and generally ridiculously hard. My class started out full like most other classes, we ended with 7 people, 1 pass. I really don't recommend taking his class if you have other options.

Extremely difficult teacher. He gives hardly any partial credit; you have to answer the question his way or he'll take off points. Don't take him unless you want mounds of homework every night.

Do your homework, take good notes, study your guides, go to his office for help, take advantage of the off campus study groups before a test, and prepare to study and learn math. Take someone else if you don't want to learn. This guy is the real deal. No short cuts just so more people pass then don't do well in the next class.
