Reviews of professor Kenneth Hochstetter

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Really great prof, took him Fall 2019 but randomly felt inspired to write this cuz hes the reason I decided to pursue a minor in philosophy (and I love it!). Textbook is a must, everything is explained super well as long as you show up to class and pay attention. Tests were super easy as well. I highly recommend!

Thought this would be a hard class, but I ended up enjoying it. Class is made up of HW, tests, and participation. Be sure to get all the points, they'll matter in the end! Did bad on like 3 tests and still did fine, so don't worry too much about them. Overall easy class and great professor! I highly recommend this course.

Professor Hochstetter taught Phil 102 like how it was supposed to be. He realized that most of us were not philosophy majors and were just taking this course for credit. His lectures are very straight forward, and his exams are very similar to the homework and the class lectures. You need to buy his book to do the hw. Going to class helps overall.

He definitely knows what he's talking about, but he forces his own beliefs on you when in class. He'll talk about how the Green Bay Packers are the best team, and stances on very controversial topics like abortion and political ideologies. He grades homework and discussions for completion, but your exams take up all of your grade, meaning, do good.

The class material is not too difficult. Just read the book and study, and you should be fine. All though he does express his political views very frequently in his book, homework, and tests. Not offensive but it can be distracting and unnecessary.

4 homeworks, 4 discussion posts, and 4 tests. I took the 4-week summer course and Professor Hochstetter is easily one of my favorite professors. He grades based on if you do the work, and all tests are based on the homework you do. He also lends out homework keys to prep for tests. 10/10 recommend!

- Creates every test with unique questions so you have to pay attention and know your stuff 
- Reading the textbook is essential 
- Pay attention during lecture or at least record them for later 
- This isn't an easy filler class at allllll you can't cheat through this class
- I think he is at CSN too with the same material so save your coins!!
