Reviews of professor Christopher Kinson

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Yikes. This class is mostly self-learning with almost zero useful guidance or teaching from the instructor. Try to take it with another professor if you can.

Genuinely don't get the low ratings here - Prof Kinson was great. Weekly assignments graded for completion, and the labs/exams are based on his weekly notes. He gives you two chances to take each lab and exam. Super friendly and helpful after hours. Practice submitting an assignment before it's due; points off if directions aren't closely followed.

Get ready to learn everything on your own. He is very unorganized and he doesn't explain things well. The info taught in the lectures doesn't line up with the homework.

Kind of funny, but does not teach real lectures. No partial credit, stupid grading system. Slow grader (said he didn't care enough to grade our assignments, which is why it was graded late). Questions were worded very poorly.

Okay lecturer, his notes were good to get through most of the hw, TA's were the really helpful ones though. He's kind of rude and condescending when answering people's questions in discussion forums. Sounds like he's talking down to you or just wants to make you feel dumb for asking a simple clarification question. Wouldn't take his section again
