Prof. Phillipson is a very good lecturer, makes Math 320 into a very engaging subject. Tests are similar to old tests and all lectures are recorded.
Dr. P is the best math professor that I have ever had! As someone who was HORRIBLE at math, the class was very easy due to the structure of lecture. There were also a lot of resources for help.
Dr. P is probably the best math teacher I've ever had!! Amazing lecturer, great at explaining things, easy to follow, and very organized. Her fill-in-the-blank lecture notes were super helpful and I'm so glad she did that. She's just a really sweet person too, very easy to talk to and always gives great feedback. Love Dr. P!!!
Kaitlin Phillipson is a fantastic Calculus professor to say the least. I've taken Calculus three-ish times and Kaitlin was the best by a large margin. I enjoyed the note packets we followed along with, and I believe the exams were well fit.
Dr. P is the best math prof at UW!! 1000% would recommend. She really understands math and explains it in ways that she knows everyone will understand and is very open to answering questions during lecture. She made the long lectures not feel so bad through humor.
very sweet and good at explaining problems! lectures and reviews are recorded
loveeeeee dr. P she is a queen! you can tell she cares about her students and goes beyond the way to make sure everything is clear. made math 211 so much easier for me.
Dr. P is an awesome teacher for math 211. In high school I really struggled with calculus and I absolutely hated it. I like math211 and am understanding the concepts way easier through Dr. P's lectures and packets.
Amazing math professor, probably can't get any better than her. Lectures can be viewed online, she is very good at explaining the problems, and the tests are easy to do as long as you know the material.
She is very engaging and does what she can to help students!
Dr. P was a great professor for 340 - only regret is not going to more office hours. The grade criteria is strict but pretty clear throughout the semester.
Dr. P is the best math professor that I have had at UW-Madison. She explains concepts in easy to understand ways and is always caring about her students. With the help of her teaching, I was able to master other areas of math, besides calculus, that I had been struggling with for years. Would highly recommend her for Math 211
Could not recommend Dr. P more. I took her for business calculus (Math 211) and she was amazing! She explains things very clearly, is very approachable, and cares about her students.
Dr. P is the best professor I've ever had. I disliked math when I started 340, but her class was math done right. Her classes were extremely well organized and the notes were clear. Not only does she teach the content, Dr. P also actively makes sure her students understand the concepts. I highly recommend taking a class with her!
Dr. P was probably the best math professor I've ever had. I'd go so far as to say she was one of the best professors I've had here at UW Madison over the course of my 5 years. She really cares about students, she makes lectures interesting, her workload in this coarse was fairly light, and she made content easily digestible. Amazing professor!
Dr. P is an amazing professor and runs the class really well. She has notes templates posted online so you can print them out and she goes through them in class so note-taking and studying are very easy. She encourages questions and is extremely kind and energetic during lectures so you won't feel bored. I would recommend her to everyone.
Dr.P is the best teacher I've ever had. I can't say how good her lecture is because no words would be enough. Her sense of humor made me love linear algebra. she is also passionate about the material. I encourage everyone to take her class if you have a chance.
Dr. P is the goat
Dr. P was an excellent lecturer and did the best job anyone could do trying to make linear algebra comprehensible
Dr. P is one of the best lecturers I've had at UW-Madison. She makes things clear and concise. Her sense of humor helps engage me in the content. She is dedicated to making math accessible and fun. Highly recommend.
Professor Philipson is the best professor I've had at UW-Madison! Her notes are really organized (fill in the blank style with tons of examples) and homework are based on them, and then exams aren't tricky either. You can tell she loves teaching and really cares about delivering the content well. She also responds to student feedback well!
Dr. P is amazing given her very interactive lectures and well-structured materials, making reviews easy. TAs are awesome too! They are always available and gave thorough explanations to every question. Strongly recommended!
I would recommend Dr. P to anyone who is taking this class. She is very engaging, explains everything well, extremely organized, and always available for questions. Her tests were fair and the practice tests/homework were very good predictors of what's on them. She is a great professor overall and I had a great experience with this class.
After taking Calc 2 and Calc 3 in HS, Dr. Phillipson was my first math professor and she set the bar way to high for the other problems. I love Dr. Phillipson and her teaching that made me more interesting the topics of linear algebra and Diff Eqs. Additionally, she is such a nice and caring individual that cares about student success.
Dr. P is a solid choice - very outgoing and engaging personality and available on Piazza and office hours. The course is very well-organized and the exams have always been fair. Definitely recommend her for this course.
Amazing Professor! Makes a difficult class more enjoyable and easier. Very caring, and respectful. Definitely would recommend taking any of her classes!
She was very understanding, graceful, and a professor whose class gave me a very important turn in my life. I trust her unconditionally and, at the same time, thank her for her tolerance and patience, which was most beautiful.
Dr P. was an amazing professor. She was so passionate about the content and it made you want to listen. The practice exams are just like the actual exams so you always know what to expect going into them.
I took Dr. P in math 320 not 340 and she was amazing. I had early morning discussion and never went but she covered the material so well in lecture that I have had no problems with homework or exams. She makes lectures entertaining and understandable, and has lots of examples. Go with Dr. P for 320!
This class isn't easy, but Dr. P did an amazing job simplifying all of the concepts and clearly cared about student's learning. She was always open to questions and was willing to re-explain topics as many times as needed. Lectures were also recorded, which was super helpful. Great prof, crappy material.
