Kiger is a mediocre professor. He spends too much time on theoretical concepts and doesn't really break the problems down to the simplest parts you just have to understand what he is saying. He is very nice and very accommodating but as a teacher I really felt he wasn't the best for me. Dynamics is tricky and honestly you need to put a lot of work in to understand it so having Kiger was really not ideal for me and I ended up withdrawing. I later took it with McAvoy over the summer who was much better. I will say that reading the textbook is actually very very helpful as while it can be dense it does break down practice problems step by step which is very helpful.

Dr. Kiger was a very understanding and thoughtful professor. He did an excellent job teaching ENES338K. He was always willing if you reached out for help (whether it was course related or more personal).

Dr Kiger is a genuinely nice guy who seems to really care about his students. I would 10/10 take him again if given the chance. The course concepts are difficult, but if you pay attention in lecture, ask questions when you are confused, and attend office hours if you need to, it's easy to do well. He is always willing to help a struggling student out. He's very passionate about the course material, and it shows. One of the better professors for the ENES classes.
