Reviews of professor Kristofer Black

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Black is a pretty good teacher. He provides assignments that can be applied outside the classroom. The tests are the hardest part of the class. 2 tests, midterm and final- each is open note but difficult. Each assignment is graded 100% for participation. Always responds to emails. A few papers and video presentations. Overall good class.

At first Professor Black comes off as somewhat reserved and a listener. His comments were concise and meaningful things to say. He just didnt dominate the conversation. This actually worked well in our classroom as he allowed students to debate intelligently while moderating. We learned more this way and he showed his knowledge without forcing it.

With multiple professors, information got chaotic at times, but in recitation, Professor Black helped simplify/clarify most if not all of it and did this consistently each week. He also has a lot of knowledge in the Public Health field, I learned more from him in an about hour than I did in the previous year of pursuing my Health Sciences degree.

The way he teaches explains material from the book and how it relates to our individual professions as well as to Alaska. For me, this makes the material engaging. He also often points to his graduate school work and compares these standards to what we will have to meet by the time we begin our careers. Professor Black has been really influential.
