Reviews of professor Kevin Briggs

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Kevin's 3 week class was really difficult. This was the hardest I have ever worked for a Lab. He'll tear your lab reports apart, but follow the feed back that is given and follow the template that he gives and you'll be fine. Go to him for help, he is always willing to help you out.

Took during the summer, he was very arrogant and gave so much homework it was almost impossible to study for the tests. When asking him for test hints he would just say it's your responsibility to figure it out. Maybe 30% of hw was on tests everything else was made up and never really discussed prior. tests  90% of grade. he was not a good teacher

I am about to take the final in about an hour and a half. Kevin is a really smart guy, and he is easy to talk to, but he is difficult. He tries to make sure you know your stuff and I respect that. But way too much homework (even for a 2 credit summer class) and he grades hard. There are curves.

Entirely too much homework. Tests are not relevant material. Condesending when students ask for help. When nearly a third of the students enrolled in the course write a letter to the department asking for some kind of way out, that should say enough. This class was the worst I have ever taken. I will push back graduation before taking him again.

Lecture slides are posted and he elaborates on them during lectures. Lectures are uploaded, attendance is still mandatory. The exams were fair and he has a unique curve at the end. Homework can take a while sometimes but he's available for help too. An overall great experience that didn't align with what everyone else here has said about him.

Kevin is insanely smart, you can hear it when he lectures; however, he's too smart to teach, if that makes sense.  Lecture slides are only available during class to "encourage attendance." He does do an "untraditional curve" at the end of the course that is kind of insane *-* if you improve through the course it'll benefit you more.
