couldn't help me with problems i had

outdated like commodore 64, not logical, needs to wear a watch, terrible prof

STAY AWAY FROM HIS CLASSES! HE IS TERRIBLE!!!

I think I should teach his courses. maybe there'd be a little more education going on. I seriously had to drop the course because I couldn't learn anything from him, I already knew from high school everything that he was trying to teach.

STAY FAR, FAR AWAY!

I don't think I've ever met a man so snide, demeaning, and conniving in my life. He makes you feel like you're the dumbest person on the face of the earth while he's the most godly servant on campus. He's always trying to trick you up.

Kilmer is the cause for myself and others leaving Messiah College. His main goal is to make students get bad grades. My favorite quote of his "I put questions on this test that we never covered because tests are supposed to be learning experiences.

This man is too lazy to even teach his own class -- makes his students do all the work of teaching each other. Gives absolutely absurd amounts of work, and even putting in your full effort doesn't guarantee a good grade.

Professor Kilmer is the worst professor i have ever had in my three years of messiah. I would not recommend him to anyone. The fact that a "memorandum" takes longer than the actual assignment is absurd. And that he tests students on material never covered simply for a "learning experience"isnt fai

One word: incompetent. Oh, and three more words: "holier than thou". Everything he does is right, and if he doesn't like you (NOT based on grades), everything you do is wrong.

The guys a lazy moron. He has the students teach the class while he does nothing and says it's "harder for him" Tests are harder than anything and you never have any idea what to study for. Allways seems to answer your questions with a question...???? Avoid at all costs.

spawn of satan. i mean that in the kindest way. takes a fairly straight forward easy subject simply required to give students an idea of how to use computer applications and makes it into the class from hell. avoid this class like a plague.

Kilmer is the worst prof anyone will ever take. He teaches class and gives assignments like you have no other classes to take in college. You spend 8 hours a night on h/w only to get a bad grade b/c you didn't do the pointless memoradum right, but you did the assingment right. He sits WAY too close to girls when he talks to them. SO glad I got out!

He is an annoying, pompous, try to be know it all, who thinks he's God's gift to Messiah College business students. Class a bunch of useless busy work and barely learn anything about computers. Makes extra credit seem like a big deal, but his ec pts value very little percentage wise. If you talk to him and play his stupid game you'll survive.

Horrible, that is the one word that sums up his class. He plays games with the students and if they fail he has a huge grin on his face. In my opinion his grading system is way off. He puts way too much weight on the stupid written reports, when your 8 hours of preparation and a solid presentation will get you a low score. AVOID THIS PROF!

your screwed before even entering the classroom...hold out for hope he might not teach it...one of the worst professors to have taught at messiah college

I'm taking my 2nd Kilmer class and realizing it's exactly the same as his other class, even though the material is completely different. It's inconsequential to him. He has spent about 10% of the class time regurgitating the textbook; the rest has been either us working in lab or him talking about things that have nothing to do with the course.

The class I took with him was totally useless. I didn't learn anything. If you take a class with him, don't take it very seriously because I failed the final yet I still managed to get a B+ in the class. He gives so many extra credit opportunities that help you do well in the class even if you treat it like a joke.

Last year he gave a 200 question exam.

As long as you are learning. Learning, Learning, Learning without regard for anything else (amount of work given, without any useful lectures, etc.)

For some reason, Messiah tasked an artificial-intelligence specialist with teaching a 100-level math course. The result was catastrophic. Student-led lectures, rants about the business world, and a frustrating belief that accurate grades ("C's are good!") are more important than GPA-based scholarships made class miserable. Avoid at all costs.

Dr. Kilmer today: "When in the business world, how are you going to handle stress? Are you going to go "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" (Shouts loud enough for the entire 3-story building to hear him)... I must say that is the only time I have paid attention in his class all year... Avoid this PROFESSOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the worst class with Kilmer that I've taken. And none of the others have been good either. We learn nothing actually related to Artificial Intelligence. We talk about useless probabilities and algorithms that are incorrect. The book says AI on the cover but in reality has nothing to do with artificial intelligence.

Please just read the negative reviews that range from 2002 until now. Nothing has changed since then. Really, I can't express the frustration that this professor has *intentionally* caused me to have. His lectures are completely irrelevant to the large amount of work that we need to complete outside of class.

Lack of clarity, constant conversation during class about himself (often), the mono-tone voice that could put you to sleep, the difficult methodology of instruction and the amount of course work is all overwhelming. As much as I like a good challenge and I appreciate hard work, every class that he instructs is a complete misery.

Dr. Kilmer is extremely difficult and I am only 5 weeks into school. He attempts to solve problems on the board in which he gets confused about and can't get the correct answers. He says HW is graded lightly but he grades for accuracy not completion. Difficult to understand and follow along with. MORE HW in this 107 course than a 300 level course.

Literally hate Dr. Kilmer. He doesn't even know the things he's teaching. 0/10 would not recommend.

Make's too many mistakes in class and doesn't explain concepts well.

His homework is so much harder then it deserves to be for a 107 class, he gets off topic too easily, and he doesn't even teach the material correctly so you have to teach yourself. 0/10 recommend

Of all the teachers & professors I've had from Kindergarten through college, Dr. Kilmer is without a doubt the worst. It is common for deflated students to claim that a teacher "doesn't teach" but I can assure you that Kilmer actually does not teach. He expects you to learn everything yourself and takes points off for the most ridiculous things.

Kilmer is so bad that all you can do is laugh. Looking back, I would legitimately change my major to avoid taking this class with him.

Attendance is mandatory. Unless you want to fail in participation. Write down everything you feel/did in the little blue book "class journal". he is a very tough grader and will take random points off for no reason.

Professor Kilmer is condescending, confusing, and takes points away constantly. He fails everyone on participation, even for excused absences. The content of math 107 isn't hard, but you'll have to teach yourself. The exam was the hardest I've ever taken. Quizzes and tests are hard with little partial credit. He will ask things he didn't ever teach

Trying to be objective while evaluating Dr. Kilmer is one of the hardest things I've done. People politely have pointed out his issues for years, but he's refused to listen, as he acts like all students are idiots & have no business asking questions. If you don't believe me, wait until you hear his speech about why students shouldn't do class evals

Kilmer's class was the worst academic experience I've ever had. Don't get me wrong, he is a nice guy, but his teaching style is an absolute joke. I cannot explain the number of times I cried while (attempting) to do my homework and how many times I worried about my future in the business department purely because of this man and his class.

Kilmer is a kill joy. CIS 283 was the worst class I've ever taken, ever, and I'm currently in my junior year. Mind you that I have a 3.9 GPA, and this was the hardest CS class I've ever taken. The grading is full of gotchas, the book is awful, and he doesn't actually lecture on the material.

This class was really rough. Avoid this prof.

No. Never ever ever ever ever again. Just read everything else, it tells it all.

Dr. Kilmer RUINED my 1st semester of freshman year. Never struggled so much in something. His class was unbelievably hard for a 100 level class, & he was HORRIBLE at teaching & providing help. I lold when he said that he knows how to teach, BIGGEST LIE EVER. Never stayed on topic. Worst man ever. AVOID Kilmer at ALL COSTS. Listen to the reviews.

CIS 283 was the worst CS class I've ever taken. He says he's open, but he shuts down the conversation. He told us not to go on this website to consider the morality of it. I'd invite you to consider the morality of that statement sooner than I'd forgo warning other people. Your reputation is something you've negotiated, paid for, and deserve.

I do not recommend Kilmer at all. He makes you comment on every single assignment whether or not you finished it completely (like, yes I did that is why I'm turning it in). If you don't document this he takes significant points off of your otherwise perfect assignment. He is also very boring, and it's hard to stay awake.

Kilmer is a nice enough man but an AWFUL teacher. I went to office hours to ask for help on a problem, and he told me "I was not going to be able to get that problem right because I didn't have any common sense." Literally. I passed only because I spent hours teaching myself EVERYTHING the week before finals. 1/10 would NOT recommend- take Lehman!!

I cant call Kilmer a teacher because he never taught anything. He showed practice problems but would constantly make errors, even on things as simple as single digit addition. I took Calc in high school so I already knew what to do and it was obvious to me that Kilmer did not. How can someone with such a small mental capacity be so condescending?

Kilmer provides the most useless procedures known to mankind. Every assignment needs a statement saying you completed the assignment. Yes i completed the assignment, that's why I'm turning it in. He takes off numerous points for meaningless things on meaningless homework. The course is so tedious. He also gives you more than you can do.

Literally the worst professor I have ever had in my life. I got a good grade in the class and yet it felt like torture to sit through. His assignments were meaningless and hes just an absolute mess of a teacher. Hes cocky and not at all helpful. He thinks he knows better than everyone else... and yet he simply does not. NEVER take him!!

Terrible, that is the only word to describe him. If I were Thanos, I would collect the stones for the sole reason to snap myself away from having to take that class.

Don't do the mistake I did. I thought to myself "It can't be this bad", but how wrong I was. This class provided no benefit to me. Grading made no sense. 80% is just tests so if you aren't good at taking them, just save yourselves. He himself stated he wouldn't be able to listen to himself teach. If that doesn't say anything, I don't know what does

All the bad previous reviews are here for a reason. He fails you if you make tiny little mistakes- and it's a GenEd class. Once I asked him for help and he told me to ask each student in the class before I can bother him. Well, don't you get paid to help students? The only professor whose classes I missed because I felt miserable and uncomfortable

He's an awful professor. This class was supposed to be an easy one that counted for the Math credit, but it was horribly hard and incredibly useless. You have to sweat through everything and, even if by the time you get to finals week you have a 98, the THREE different final tests will drag your grade down. It's an awful class, don't take it!
