Reviews of professor Cody Kaser

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Hardly any busy work. There were four big assignments that each unit built up to. The biggest one was a nonacademic assignment which was a nice change from just writing to teachers. The puns, omg the PUNS! He makes you feel like you're seen when he tortures you with all those bad jokes.

I learned a lot about research from this class. I liked the movie theme it made writing papers more interesting.

He is a nice guy, but also picky in terms of writing. The class is only graded on a few papers, so you have to try hard to write good papers. I just do not think I would want to take a class with him again, but he is good for those who like English or good rock music.

The grading conferences and revision extra credit option improved my style and conciseness as I wrote more papers for the class. This helped me more than trying to learn from just bad grades. The communication in class could've been improved but I appreciated the commentary consultation because it helped me be more interested in writing my papers.

Beware of dad jokes and terrible puns and make sure to use office hours a lot. The grading conferences helped me understand what I did wrong and how to fix it and the group activities in class were helpful, especially the whole class workshop.

Professor Kaser is an intelligent teacher. However, his lectures can be confusing in the scheme of the class and connecting topics is rather difficult. Very harsh mandatory grading conferences where your work will be stiffly criticized. He is intimidating to approach and can say discouraging things to the class. He does seem kind outside of class.
