Paul is an excellent teacher. He is very patient and gives good examples that help remember concepts. If you are intimidated by math, Paul will definitely help you become successful at it.

Paul was very helpful and tried to instill in all of us that we can succeed in math. His class was always interesting and he presented the material in different ways as to try and reach all students. He was always willing to help us and has a great sense of humor.

Honestly the best math teacher I have ever had. he will go out of the way to help you and he made calculus clear. Take him if you want to learn the material!

Paul Kurose is the best intructor I have ever had in my whole life for math. He cleared all my concepts, and now I amable to do good in PreCalculas. He gives very good examples for all the material. If we want to proceed in Math, take him and I bet you will be succeeded.

He is a good teacher, but has a bad attitude toward certain students.

He explains new concepts in every possilbe way to make sure that each student understands. He keeps the class interesting and fun with real life comparisons and stories. He has no problem calling out students who are slacking or trying to take advantage, so if that's you, don't bother taking his class. If you are interested in learning, he's A+.

has fun in class and does a good job of making sure class isn't boring. assigns a lot of homework, but also doesn't expect you to do all of it, just how much you 'need' to do. tests are not too easy, but not too hard. goes at a good pace through the material. overall a very good professor.

If you are a good, respectful and responsible student who wants to and has time to learn math the proper way he is a great teacher. If you want to slack off and just try to pass but hate math than expect to be knocked around. He's a great teacher with great experiance. Note to teacher: we need more time on those tests.

I was not excited to take Statistics, but Mr. Kurose made it interesting. If you put in effort in his class, he notices, and if you do not, he notices that as well. He assigns a lot of homework, the only downfall to his class. Half of the tests are take-home, and he will bump up your grade if you did poorly on early exams but well on the final

Online class. It was going really well at first. He assigns a lot of work, but you can walk into your exams knowing exactly what you need to know to be successful. I'm not sure what happened to him at the end of the quarter, but he essentially dropped off the face of the earth and stopped checking in on the class, which was very stressful.

Fun teacher to take, however, he had a lot of homework (he doesn't expect you to do ALL of it, but at least some to prove that you do know whats going on), and he is like a high school teacher in some respects. He'll pick on you if you're an easy target, but he makes it light and fun, and always asks if hes insulted you (if he has, he'll prob stop)

Very funny teacher. He'll jive you if you can't defend yourself, and appears to have what you'd call "clowning ability". If you're one of those annoying kids who thinks you know more than he does, you better be able to prove it. If you're a **** he'll put you in your place, but he's usually nice. You'll learn math, but have to work pretty hard.

good teacher

Pro's: One of the best math teachers at NSCC. He does an excellent job of explaining math concepts. Con's: Can be very impatient at times with students he feels aren't applying themselves. He tries to force students to be proactive about learning, which is good, but sometimes takes it too far. If you're in his class: do your homework & take notes.

He is one of great teacher I ever had. His class is really really hard but if you take time to study well you can get goog grade for sure but you need work really hard though to catch up the classes.

He is an awesome and hilarious man. He keeps the subject fun and light and makes the material fun to learn!

He is so funny. I love his stories and the examples like the tree example it is so funny. If I am having a bad day he makes me laugh.

He is hilarious and very cool...and great eye candy as well! :)

great teacher, tests are sometimes hard, but if you do all or most of the homework he assigns, and study 2-4 hours a day, you will be will prepared for the tests. hes most always available to answer questions after class, and during class will keep explaining something until it clicks and you understand it.

Professor Kursoe is firm, but fair. He tells you what is expected of you and if you do your part everything is fine. He is usually available to help students with problems or questions after class. If you don't do well either you didn't go to class or ask for help in a timely manner.

I though he was a great teacher. I started in his basic math class and had a good enough experience that I took elementary algebra and elementary statistics from him as well. I found him much easier to understand than any of the textbooks, and as long as I understood what were my responsibilities as a student, he was understanding of what were his.

I was a student who was previously terrified of math but decided to become proactive. Because I asked questions, took notes, and used the math lab, Kurose was great and I did very well on his tests. Motivated question askers will greatly benefit from Kurose. Take notes, ask questions, come to class every day and you will enjoy and pass his class.

Kurose is a fun guy. In the beginning was a little hard as he has his style. He doesn?t give out a vocabulary of the definitions but all the time real examples. It helps a lot. I have the concept all clear only from the examples that he worked with. If you attend regularly, do all homework, be active show that you are in class- he helps you a lot.

EXCELLENT TEACHER! He has an interest in your "getting it" but he expects you to show up and do the work. He's not a babysitter and wants full class participation. He teaches a great Math class.

Paul is book smart but he is people smart too, He hits home on paying attention and writhing noters. If he sees that you are working, and paying close attention you will win big in this class., Suit up most days, don't miss class, do the homework, go to the Math Lab and you will succeed! He is really gifted.

For statistics, he teaches to the dumbest people in the class which makes it rather boring and hard to concentrate resulting in missing important points.

I used to have real anxiety about math, but Paul's teaching helped me get over my fears and ask questions. He really wants everyone to learn. But you do have to pay attention and take notes in class because he wants you to focus.

I really enjoyed the class with paul he taught me a lot!

Kurose did a great job of making statistics interesting and relevant to my business major. I use the skills he taught me almost every day at work. Not an easy class, but very well taught.

One of the best math teachers I have had. If you want a class that moves rapidly and where the teacher doesn't interact with anything except the blackboard, then choose a different teacher. But if you want to realy understand why the math works, and want a teacher who engages the class in active discussion, the I highly recommend Mr. K.

I took the online statistics 146 class. Math is not my strong subject at all, but I did well. His homeworks are organized and quizzes are similar to homework type questions. His finals and midterms are also very similar to the quizzes. The key to success in his online class is to keep up with the assignments and quizzes and be motivated.

Paul is a funny guy and very thorough in his teaching. He's very much a high school teacher in that he's willing to bend a little too much to accommodate his students, but this was a nice break from professors who don't care about their students. Lots of homework, but very helpful.

Okay teacher. great at lecturing, but compromised the class to hell when a few lack the knowledge of the subject to move on, dragging the whole class to a slow boring halt. Not very dependent in term of giving feedback. Sarcastic jokes are okay, but sometimes can be very rude.

HE IS SOOOOOO NICE.

Paul Kurose is the best teacher I have ever had. He was so helpful to everyone in my class, and always willing to explain things if we didnt understand. Before this class I hated math and did not understand it, but now i feel excited about math. Paul actually cares about his students success. The best atmosphere, totally comfortable place to be!

He's a great teacher. He explains the concepts behind the problems assigned in the book, so that you can go back and solve the things you didn't know how to before. Do you hw before class, try each section and go to class daily. It'll be a good experience.

He's funny and uses creative examples to illustrate his point. He's a good math teacher, and focuses on math confidence/making you "get it". Review all of your tests/quizzes and know how to do each type of problem and you'll find hw/tests easy. Make sure to keep up with the lectures/hw.

He is interested in you learning the material. He will stop and ask anyone he believes who hasn't learned it. He encourages questions and helps that he knows his math very well. He does not reply to emails if he feels you should know the answer and sometimes gets in your face for not trying. He just wants everyone to get an A. Definitely recommend.

I took Paul for Stats online - very clear expectations, grading criteria and deadlines. This class does not have a canvas website - it is VERY self directed, which of course is not fault of Paul's so don't get behind and you'll do fine. Paul is helpful and thorough, clearly cares about his students and is very invested. I would take him again.

He will explain every question. Moves like a sloth. If you don't like fast paced teachers, then take him.

Paul does not give many tests. If you take his class, all the weekly quizzes will be taken home. He will give full score even if you make some mistakes as long as you answer every single question. He will also still give full credit if you only make some careless mistakes. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TEACHER! HE IS AWESOME!

Paul is one of the most genuine people you will come across. His class is entertaining as well as educational. Paul will take the time to explain each and every question asked and will reach out to anyone looking for help. Besides educational this guy is hilarous. Would love to take any class offered by this teacher.

Mr. Kurose genuinely cares about his students understanding the concepts of statistics and gaining the ability to apply them to real life. He actually made statistics interesting and fun, class is not boring. HW every night, few quizzes, midterm & final. Work hard, get a good grade. It's that easy.

Paul is there for you in class if you put in the work. For his pre-college math classes he explains concepts to you very well and is ALWAYS available after class to answer questions if you didn't understand something in class. Come to class. His tests reflect what he teaches in class. I worked hard and it paid off, I got an A+ in the class!

He is an amazing teacher. He relates to his students and makes learning fun! He teaches in a way that you can understand and learn quickly. He is very helpful and wants his students to succeed.

Kurose is an excellent math teacher and is also a human being with his own bs to deal with just like everyone else. He's a fine lecturer and mathematician. He'll get annoyed if you are clearly not tryingdoing the assignments, so do your homework - there will be a lot of it, so be ready for that. Also, his tests are tough given time constraints.

Paul is a hilarious guy, clearly explains the material and breaks down methods and relates to methods learned in the past. Loves relating his lessons to his personal stories and past classes. He can be a hard ass, but he expects you to pay attention, take notes and ask questions if you're unsure. Would take him again!

Masterful teacher. If your goal is to truly understand algebra basics, you'd benefit from taking Mr. Kurose's class. Paul does a fantastic job of breaking math down into logical pieces in a meaningful way. He frequently gave relevant comparisons to problems, and approaches the work from many angles. I wish he could teach my Chem class too!

Paul is an amazing instructor, he always relate his lessons with his personal stories, and they are hilarious. His lectures are easy to understand if you pay attention and do your homework, ask lot of questions if you don't understand, he assigns LOT and LOT of homework, around 2-3 hours a day.

He really stresses the importance of asking questions and taking a good approach to the material. He has a system where someone can fail the midterm, yet show they have learned the material on the final and get a 4.0. He has a great view of teaching math and a hilarious expression, and if focussed, the period will fly by with a smile.

Overall I liked the class. The website we used was pretty straightforward and the material was too. The only thing I would have to complain about was the 137 and 100 question REVIEW QUIZZES!!! These are just a few of the review quizzes we have for the final coming up. Mr. Kurose is a nice guy, and is very understanding. Would recommend.

Amazing professor. He teaches you how to get the answer visually and then teaches you the textbook way of getting the answer. So he basically made math so easy by explaining the logic behind the math. If you want to learn and you put the effort you will get a 4.0. TAKE HIS CLASS, you won't regret it. He is really funny too.

Took it online. Math is easy for me, so I worked independently all quarter. Professor is there if you have questions. But the tests/quizzes were heavily based on the homework. So just doing the homework should largely suffice for preparing you. Problems can be tried as many times as necessary. Don't really need the text. Just do the work!

Explains stuff in a way that is unlike other. Actually make sense of what otherwise you just accept to be true. Physical Homework is a plus, nobody likes online HW. He lets you use an older ver of book to save $ Fun in class, Quizzes based off homework. Takes weeks to get grades back however. Started hating calc, now I feel i can do it.

I was very hesitant at first because i'm horrible at math but Professor Kurose made the material understandable and applied it to situations that make sense!!! The homework may seem daunting but it's really all for solidification of the material and I found it very useful. Great teacher!

Kurose rocks. He's... - Funny - Great at explaining the material - ALWAYS willing to answer questions - Makes it VERY clear what is on the tests - Will give you a 4.0 if you do well on the final, even if you bombed a quiz or two. Overall a great experience. You do need to do the HW / ask questions to pass though.

Professor Kurose is awesome. Always available to help. Textbook is great for learning on your own, but he reinforces it perfectly. Willing to sit down and go over anything, really want students to understand the material and not to sweat the small stuff. Appreciative of students that are engaged in material.

Paul is awesome. He is laid back and getting an A is totally attainable. He wants students to do well. I once missed a quiz deadline and he still let me take it. Very refreshing. I took his class online and he can come across a little cold via email and announcements, but talking to him in office hours makes all the difference.

Only mess with the best! A true math Wizard who is right there with you to show you how to do it.

teaches math the right way, really fun to be around, really funny, makes learn math fun,

I really liked Mr. Kurose, he is really funny and explains things in a way that makes sense, he even came in on a sunday to help some of us that were worried about the finale on monday.

He is really an amazing teacher for those students that need a bit of a push onto the next subject. When introducing a chapter he is very thoughtful of the students and makes sure that everyone understands it in the way they may learn. He adjusts and explains teaching styles so that kids understand him. Overall he is an amazing teacher!

Really liked this class! All hw assignments and midterm/final reviews had infinite attempts. Even the weekly quizzes have two attempts if you are proactive and don't try to do them last minute. About people saying his hand written tests are nothing like the hw, its because its not an exact copy. If you understand the concept the test is easy too.

Precalc was difficult material but Paul put in tons of effort to help us understand. Daily homework but that's necessarily for math. Nice guy and very engaging.

Intro to Statistics. Fair grader. answers questions and helps in a reasonable amount of time. Online course using Pearson interface for 7th edition of Larsen text book. Pearson lectures did not match 7th ed; I bought 5th edition to match the lecture for $10. Not an easy class at all but with effort and using tutors I earned an A.

He is honestly the best. He is very strict and leaves a lot of homework, but he is worth it. He makes math simple and understanding. He pushes you like no other professor. He is the only professor who honestly cares about his students. I came out of his precalculus class very well prepared. He is the best professor.

Really nice guy and he made small talk with everyone. His lectures are just unorganized and hard to understand because he does not get to the point. However, he genuinely cares and wants you to learn! Easy grader and understanding! Recommend taking him if you learn well through listening and lecture.
