    The class is unbearably boring, Kane has personal habits that are extremely irritating, and I have learned absolutely nothing.

    This was the worst professor I have ever had.  He cannot connect with the students and really doesn't care.  Highly apathetic about everything except himself.  Did not teach the material well.  I have a 3.7 gpa and this professor/course has given me my only C.

    Class time was a waste of time with Kane, because he is such a bad teacher.  YOu must learn everything for yourself.  Not to hard material, but Kane makes it complicated.

    Lectures didn't help anything. 
     
    by far the worse professor at clarkson.  as far as i am concerned he lowers my respect of clarkson for allowing him to remain as a professor.  if you have any chance do not take a class he teaches. 
     
    Terrible, Absolutely Terrible!  He won't shut up and teach, he just rambles and quotes tv.  Also, springs no partial credit tests that are unrelated to lecture.  Finally, useless formusla sheets. 
     
    Everyone else seems to complain about Prof Kane, but ES 220 was just a pretty easy and boring class to sit through.  I thought he taught the material very well and maybe he has a different sort of sense of humor but so what?  He was also very helpful during office hours. 
     
    He focuses on the trivial aspects that have already been covered in the prerequisite classes.  He skims over the new material and teaches us how to take the derivative to find a maximum. 
     
    Likes math and tensors.  All the negative comments are because the ES220 classes are boring to both the students AND the professor.  Once you get Professor Kane in an area that is up to his intellectual level things are much better.
