Couple of things about King's 103 class, --No graphing calculator allowed, but he teaches very well. His take home tests are easy and he grades lightly, the take home tests are based on the notes from class, and the real tests are almost identical to the take home tests. So if you take good notes, you can pass this class. Id give him an A

I am sure professor King knows math very well. His grading is heavy on testing. There are minimal points for quizzes, homework, etc. This class was not for "math majors" however the grading received makes it feel we are all supposed to be math majors.

Literally run away. I am not a math person by any means (literally an art major) but my friend who is a bio chem major and aced AP calc etc etc even had to sit and struggle with me trying to assist me in assignments. I have never hated a class so much or had a prof who I felt wanted me to fail. Waste of my money, time & stress.

Professor King has got to be the worst professor I have ever had in my six years of college. He makes his students' lives harder than it needs to be and sets them up for failure. This course wasn't even difficult, he just made it difficult. If you didn't write a problem exactly how he did he puts a zero even if you got the problem correct.

I specifically rented the math book. He gave notes and videos for you to go along but if you did not use his methods, and used methods from the book, he would dock you zero. Tried giving in extra credit material but because I did not write down the initial problem, he did not count any of it. Would not recommend this class to anyone.

This class was one of the most stressful classes I have ever taken. This course is completely based on tests and even with a tutor I had a difficult time with this course. Even my tutor had never seen a class like this before. There is extra credit but you have to do a lot of work to get 5 bonus points on an 125 point test. Do not take this class.

This prof was extremely unaccommodating to his students needs. Since this was an internet course he also relied on Respondus/Lockdown browser for exams. The problem here is that he is extremely strict with the set up of a students test environment. He made me redo the practice set up 5 times based on the most minor discrepancies. Do not take prof.

The most difficult class I have ever taken. Professor openly plays favorites, and makes people feel bad for not understanding things. Offers no extra credit, most of your grade is tests. Tons of busy work with Pearson view problems, which allows very little time to study for tests. Avoid taking his class at all costs. To his credit, he is funny.

Worst Professor I have ever had, if you have his class dropout NOW. I am just a highschool student who wanted to take stats during the summer, he made it near impossible and I had to drop the class, ended up getting a 5 on the AP stats exam. If you struggle in that class its not you its him. Again DROP his class as soon as possible.

I found this professor unsympathetic when I asked for guidance with my learning accommodations. Instead of offering support, I was encouraged to drop the course. Students needing patience or understanding may want to look for another section

This professor discouraged me from staying enrolled when I asked about structure and accommodations. The tone was rigid and unsupportive. If you value empathy or flexibility, I recommend choosing another instructor.

I took an online class of his. The program he uses was incredibly easy and helpful compared to some of the ways I heard my friends professors were teaching their math class. All you have to do is watch the videos and do your homework for him, at least the online classes. He is not super friendly and very rigid though. Not the most helpful.

Statistics is already hard, but he makes it worse with exams that are weighted so heavily it should be illegal. On top of that, his strict rules and regulations for taking tests make the class feel more like military training than a basic graduation requirement. Not the most supportive, empathetic or student-friendly experience. DON'T TAKE!

Horrible class. The workload is overwhelming, the exams are brutally weighted, and the rules make it feel like a punishment instead of a course. Easily one of the most stressful and least helpful classes I've taken.
