Only if you like Ben Stein

almost got caught cheating watch those take-home tests

Great teacher, explains material well.

This guy sounds exactly like ben stein, Bueller, Bueller? Buleller...?

good teacher. will definitely learn something from him

really nice, and if you study a little bit you can ace the tests. he really wants you to do well. if you don't study then prepare to get a c...

if you go to him for help he's more than willing to answer your questions...tests aren't too bad, boring teacher though.

Helpful if you go to office hours. Recommend e-mailing him questions. Graded on homework. A little confusing but gets easier. Tests basically all from homework problems. Just pay attention to what problems he emphasizes.

Really nice guy, fair grader. I am terrible at math but go to office hours and he's very helpful, and I like math alot more now than i ever used to. Lectures are boring but if you pay attension and do all the homeowork it's not bad

Cool, funny, and helpful guy. Class was hard, yes, but if you work hard, you will get an A.

nice guy, tries to make u understand and always available for help. requires class participation which can get annoying. tests aren't too bad but definately require a lot of studying and review of the hw

Love him! Really easy, straightforward tests, and always gives extra credit. Also the nices professor you'll ever meet.

Take him! One of the best math professors at JMU. Also easygoing, funny, fair, and so so nice.

Requires class participation, weekly homework. Three tests and a final. Tests are straight forward. Require studying! Go to office hours and he will help you understand material. Better discrete teacher than most.

Great teacher for discrete math. Explains everything in a creative and organized way and is pretty funny sometimes. Usually only grades 1 homework problem a week, gives extra credit opportunities, 3 exams and a final.

Professor Kohn was one of the best math teachers I've had at JMU. While the final was hard, he explained things very clearly. I had never taken calculus before and he made concepts understandable.

very weird professor. however he is good at teaching. i feel like i learned a lot from him and i would recommend him. test are a little tough but nothing out of the ordinary for college.

I've had him for two semesters. He's great. Is very happy to offer assistance outside of class, and answer any questions you have about test questions/homework. His class isn't easy, but you will learn a great deal from him. I look forward to a third semester.

This professor is amazing. He doesn't look at notes while he teaches-- he knows the derivations, and can explain them in multiple ways. His humor is ... well, a good attempt.

I have had Dr. Kohn for both 236 and 237. He is a really good teacher. He always starts class with a joke. His class is difficult, but he is very helpful in his office hours. Take him if you like math.

He was a very nice teacher, JUST DO YOUR HW!!! His tests are hard but they eventually get easier as you begin to understand how they work. Overall a very good math teacher.

Kohn is a great professor. His class follows a pretty standard routine. Not incredibly interesting, but he explains things clearly and is good with answering questions and clarification. If you need help, definitely utilize office hours. The tests are definitely not easy, but overall, it's a good class.

He is a great teacher. His jokes are dry. If you don't attend class, you might be at risk of missing a quiz and he doesn't take late hw. Homework is worth 10 pts each. His class wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the book that he's so proud of. The book is the worse even though its only $20 and it has many errors. He is a great lecturer though.

Class was fairly hard, but Mr K is really chill. The problem is he thinks everybody can get the concepts easily so he goes very quickly. Not much homework but tests are pretty hard.

Kohn is alright. He's somewhat entertaining and he's pretty clear when it comes to teaching the material. There are plenty of worse professors than him.

BEST teacher. He's so funny. He is very clear as to what he's teaching. He gives assignments almost every other day but they're only 6 questions and he grades only 1 by rolling dye. Test are easy. I would take him again if he had another class. Met some really cool people in that class. If you don't understand his humor, get out, you wont have fun.

Professor Kohn is awesome. His lectures are easy to follow and assignments, while frequent are fair and prepare you well for tests. Study guides are very clear and accurately reflect exam content. You'll absolutely work for your grade, but in a fulfilling way.

Peter Kohn's lectures are all over the place and they can be very confusing, but if you have any questions he will help you a ton in office hours. You have to work hard in this class for a good grade, even with the curve. I wouldn't take this class if you don't have any calculus background.

Hands down one of the best math professors I've ever had. I took this level course in high school, but his lectures on the material were so much clear than what I already knew. His passion for mathematics was honestly so inspiring to me, he truly thinks of calculus as an art form.

Above average teacher. Cares about his students, but shows no passion or enthusiasm about the class. Does a pretty good job of explaining concepts but lectures can be very boring. Tests are pretty hard but he lets you bring a notecard into each test.

This is by far the strangest class I've taken at JMU. Your final grade is based solely off of 18 mini quizzes, with 3 multiple choice questions each. He allows 18 retakes for the semester, and there is no final exam. The textbook was unhelpful, so the recommended homework is not worth doing. Overall is an easy option for 231.

your grade is based on 18 quizzes that are 3 question multiple choice. I definitely could have done better if I studied more but overall not too difficult of a class. The textbook is not worth buying and the homework is confusing and not worth doing. Study your notes and memorize concepts and you'll be fine

All recorded lectures and slides are posted to canvas which is helpful if you miss class or need to go back and review a topic. There are 3 midterms and 1 final which are worth 90% of your grade, but you can use a notecard. Homework is worth 10% and is through WebAssign. Overall great professor, and the class is much easier if you go to class.

Kohn's class was great to take and easy even if math isn't your strong suit. I came into the class having already taken intro calculus with an A. Textbook wasn't needed except for the group project. Go to every class and take notes. Every quiz/exam is from class. Only critique is the final exam didn't reflect the most emphasized parts of the course

Calculus II is a tough class, but Dr. Kohn always tries to start his lectures with a funny joke. He's very interactive and you have to participate because he calls on you using notecards. Sometimes he does get confused but someone in the class is always there to correct his mistakes. I find his lectures and PowerPoints easy to understand.

Pretty hard class. Show up every class or you will be behind.

Dr. Kohn was a good professor. He is helpful in class and during office hours. His class is organized and has a sense of humor. He's not really a tough grader and gives partial points. The only thing I did not like about this class was the fact that exams are 90% of your grade, but other than that I'd take him again.

Dr. Kohn is a funny and good professor but his grading relies way too heavily on tests. The three tests for this class (including the final) make up 90% of your final grade, and the many homework questions assigned aren't worth anything and can take a bit of time to do. He's a good and funny professor, but just get ready to study A LOT for tests.
