MATH 112
Quality 2/5Difficulty 4/5
Kevin is a pretty chill guy, but not the best instructor. He struggles to use the projectors during lecture and usually shows up to class 5 minutes late telling us that we need to take it easy on him because he wasn't feeling well. He likes to explain basic concepts in the most confusing way possible and then get mad when we ask questions.

MATH 112
Quality 1/5Difficulty 4/5
Never actually knows what he is doing, does 3/4 of the problem then realizes he did it all wrong and then won't finish it. Gets distracted by technical difficulties and loud noises outside. Never answers your emails. Doesn't gives an easy explanation of what he is doing which makes the class 10 times harder then it needs to be.

Quality 2/5Difficulty 4/5
I liked Kevin, besides the fact that he had no clue what he was doing, he was a pretty chill dude. He often gets distracted by the projector not working which he finds so entertaining. He has a tattoo that he talks about sometimes. Overall pretty chill dude, but he should not be a math teacher, stand up comedian fits him better.
