Some of the material that he teaches like a little confusing. Most of your grade depends TRULY ON EXAMS, 60% for Exams, 25% for Final Exams and quizzes, no homework grade. Nice teacher, but fast pace, I remember doing 3 lessons in 1 day. Don't take this teacher if you aren't going to any time on it after school.MATH182 2022-01-12 00:35:44 +0000 UTC
He says the same stories over and over again, any help you ask for will be super ambiguous so you have to figure it out yourself. He's a stickler for grammar so beware. The best advice I can give you is to make a study group or find people you can talk to.ORGB3201 2021-08-27 02:24:22 +0000 UTC
He is a great math professor. Easy quiz and exams. Clear explanations on math conceptions. He is retiring next year so no one might is going to look at this comment :)MATH4581 2018-11-30 14:02:51 +0000 UTC
You don't want to be late to his lectures because he is taking attendance at the very beginning and if you are late - you are not in class. A lot of pop up quizzes throughout the semester. All of them based on reading and in-class lectures. Participation matters a lot. Be involved in discussions, ask questions, express your opinion.ORGB3209 2018-11-15 13:22:39 +0000 UTC
Although I was a MUSI major, I decided to take Probability & Statistics because I wanted to challenge myself. He is very helpful, having lots of time outside class to help me with problems. Explanations are clear, and definitely helped me getting an A as my final grade in the class. As a Berklee student now, I recommend King strongly for MATH 3081.MATH3081 2012-08-02 13:28:31 +0000 UTC
Great Professor. His humor and great teaching makes up for his constant stuttering. Finally someone who has good writing on the chaulkboard!MTHU481 2009-04-27 13:44:40 +0000 UTC
very good prof, always read to help in his office hours, funny dry humorMATH481 2008-02-08 16:37:50 +0000 UTC
Great teacher. The course is difficult, but he does a good job of grounding the material in examples so you're not just lost in proofs and derivations. Really enjoyed the Probability 2 (grad) class.PROB2 2007-10-15 17:41:20 +0000 UTC
great guy, great teacher. will help everyoneACTUARIAL 2005-09-23 09:33:41 +0000 UTC
He is a great teacher, really clear and always willing to explain stuff in a new way. He collects homework weekly, but other than that the class is pretty easy and he's really nice.PROBANDSTATS 2005-03-12 18:59:56 +0000 UTC
This class was one of the best Ive taken at NU. Chris has personal anecdotes which made the class understandable, and we had awesome discussions about co-ops which kept things relevant. The pop quizzes are on the readings, and easy if you read the chapters. He is professional in that he doesnt coddle you on assignments, just gives you the goal.ORGB3201 2019-08-16 02:16:23 +0000 UTC
Professor gives clear examples in class that really help with the homework. He is approachable and always willing to help. His only fault is that he is a little sarcastic to people who have trouble giving answers in class after he has helped you get through 90% of it. Overall great prof though.MATH3081 2011-04-27 09:28:29 +0000 UTC
He may get nervous at times and sweat...but he's cool. Don't ask him to go slower goes he'll really go slower.MTHU481 2004-05-06 10:12:04 +0000 UTC
do not take him if you care about your GPA or want to learn something. extremely unclear about how he grades assignments or what he wants. papers submitted in January won't get graded until mid April, no constructive feedback eitherORGB3201 2019-04-02 23:25:25 +0000 UTC
Had him for Prob & Stat. Great teacher. Stutters a lot, Irish or Scottish accent. Really nice guy, he'll always answer questions and go over everything. Holds review sessions in his office before tests and is very helpful. I wish he was teaching the actuarial course I'm taking right now.MATH3081 2010-10-13 14:29:25 +0000 UTC
