Reviews of professor I Jonathan Kief

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Kief is a GREAT prof who handles this small class & seminar-based course well---all online. He did an amazing job facilitating discussions rather than just reading off a presentation or assigning any work. He reads through all of our class discussion responses/questions! Very meticulous (essay) grader with great feedback! approachable and nice!

Dr. Kief is an amazing professor and truly cares about your academic and personal well-being. There's once a week discussion posts, lots of readings, 2 long essays, 1 group project, and final. Overall, the grade you want is up to the work you put in. I am not good at discussion and writing essays, but he helped me greatly. Definitely recommend!

Some of the lectures were a little boring and the readings can be a bit dull but he's a great professor and really cares about the learning process. He is so knowledgeable and relays it well to the students. He adjusted to the COVID-19 pandemic really well and was so accommodating to students. Gives in-depth feedback on everything.

There are two papers (one six pages, the other eight), a midterm, a group project, and participation which is based on doing the readings and forum postings. If you're interested in the topic, it is a really enjoyable class but someone who isn't could get bored. Professor Kief is also one of the most caring and helpful teachers I've had.
