Reviews of professor Harper Kirk

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Lecture heavy and goes on tangents. If you don't understand her humor then you will feel lost and awkward. Grading is average.

She is very knowledgeable and connects philosophy to the class; however, only some students understand what she is talking about when she goes on her tangents, and it makes it hard to participate in class. The discussion board has hard questions that bring up topics from other weeks. Class was basically all discussion and not too informative.

Really cool class with a really cool professor. Can tell she's super knowledgable about philosophy and truly cares about the subject. Class relies on the readings (1 per class) and the subsequent discussions, so you do have to do the readings in order to participate. Some are more difficult than others. Overall enjoyed and would take prof again.

PHIL305. Very understanding. Straightforward syllabus. Every even number week was a discussion board due and there was a total of 2 essays. No quizzes/exams. Classes are discussion-heavy and not really lecture-heavy. PSA: She accepts late work!!! Late is better than nothing!! Love her. Highly recommend taking a course with Prof. Kirk!

Good teacher, but the course is very lecture heavy. On top of that, Professor Kirk tends to go on tangents. Overall decent teacher and easy to ask for help.

Decent teacher but boring. She doesn't know how to grab the class's attention/engage them well. Also definitely has favorites.

Highly recommend. She is very understanding if something comes up and wants her students to do well. She lectures based on a powerpoint, but if you miss class, the powerpoint has all of the info that you'll need. The tests are very reflective of the info taught, and they're either take home or open note. I wasn't stressed and learned a lot.
