Homework is hard to understand and a time commitment, even if you attend most lectures. Lectures are disorganized and hard to follow. Sit towards the front or you can't read handwriting. He is more helpful in office hours. Use practice tests and homework solutions to study for tests.GE3300 2024-12-18 16:26:32 +0000 UTC
Professor Kane is very willing to go the extra mile to help those who need it and wants students to succeed. Lectures were helpful, Homework can be difficult but it is great prep for the exams. Always available to meet outside of class and flexible with meeting outside of his office hours. All in all great professor and really nice guy!CIVE2320 2024-04-22 22:46:28 +0000 UTC
This class was useless. Lectures are awful, only pictures. No one can read his handwriting. Truly showing up to class makes no difference to your grade. Discussion post hws are fine, other homeworks are impossible. No review materials for midterms, office hours are always full. Not accessible out of class. Would never take a class w him again.GE3300 2024-10-23 14:39:23 +0000 UTC
Kane is a great professor who is very fair with his expectations of his students. He is a *very* fair grader and will thoroughly answer any questions you may have to ensure you understand particular concepts. He is also regularly available, with frequent office hours that I would highly recommend attending. Overall, very reasonable and a nice guy!CIVE2320 2024-04-19 00:24:26 +0000 UTC
One of the WORST professors I've taken so far. He made remote learning 100 times worse. He's extremely unorganized. He talks a lot during class but not about the what you need to hear to learn and what the test and homework are about. His power points are mainly pictures, he doesn't give anything useful to study from.GE3300 2020-12-10 21:25:50 +0000 UTC
Very awful. Hate attending his classes. Does not give enough material to study from. He is also very unorganized. He is very smart but a very bad teacher.GE3300 2020-11-21 20:25:25 +0000 UTC
