Reviews of professor Craig Tichelkamp

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He is very kind and willing to help and give advice on papers. It is kind of boring and very lecture-heavy, but it was a good cornerstone to take. You can tell he wants you to do well in the class and really understand the material. You do have to read a lot but he goes over it in class.

Tichelkamp is not a terrible professor, but his class is relatively difficult and he expects a lot from his students. In my class, you had to write 5 papers, but 2 lowest grades were dropped, so you really only have to write 3. Expect reading every night, and pop quizzes randomly on the readings. Also, he makes you go to a museum for a field trip.

Craig is the sweetest professor. He sometimes struggles to explain complicated topics in an understandable way, but if you meet him halfway it gets a lot easier. His classes aren't hard and his grading style is pretty chill, but the topic can be hard to grasp. Overall, would recommend!

Professor Tichelkamp is adorable and funny, and he gives great feedback on papers. Also, he drops the lowest paper grade, so you don't have to write one of them. Tests are pretty easy. His lectures are helpful, so as long as you take notes, you will do fine on the exams.

Tichelkamp is a great professor, he really cares about the content and his students and it shows. Homework is reasonable and you write 4 essays all year, the lowest grade is dropped and you don't even have to write the 4th one. Mostly lectures but is passionate and makes it interesting. Really cares about his students and whatever is best for them
