Reviews of professor Beau Kilpatrick

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Professor Beau Kilpatrick has been my favorite UofL teacher and class by far! The material is fun and entertaining. Not at all a difficult course and Mr. Kilpatrick makes it even better. Take this class you won't regret it! ( as long as you like in person classes) :)

He is so fun!! One of the nicest professors i've ever had. He's really funny and I genuinely enjoyed 85% of the movies we watched. HIs class isn't very hard just make sure you watch all the movies and know the film terms. I would 100% recommend this class.

Professor that teaches a 100 level prereq like a 300 level major course. Don't let his easygoing demeanor fool you, he is not an easy one. If you want to learn about cultural issues and stuff like that he's great. If you want to learn English, he's not so great.

He is a great professor that knows exactly what he is talking about and exactly how to get it across to his students. He is a very caring and understanding professor, but holds you accountable at the same time. There is a lot of work, but it isnt too bad. You have the leniency to choose what you write about for the most part!

Prof Kilpatrick is great. He puts a lot of effort into the class to make it enjoyable. He is a tough grader on papers, but its more than possible to get a 100% if you put in the effort. He does assign multiple short readings though and likes to give pretty hard quizzes the next class, so DO the readings and take notes on them. TAKE HIM!

Professor Kilpatrick is a really great guy, super down to Earth. The work load was just a bit much and the grading was too harsh. Attendance is 10% of your grade.

professor Kilpatrick is very nice and a fun guy. He does grade pretty tough on papers, but if you talk to him he will help you. He does count your absences against you though.

Mr. Kilpatrick is such a lovely teacher and if you get the opportunity to take a class with him please do! Because of the pandemic he hasn't always been the best about telling us our weeks work until later in the week but overall a really lovely and easy course to take.

He is a good guy and responds to emails fast. However, my grade dropped extremely just because of attendance—it's 10% of your grade. He also grades papers very weirdly. I wouldn't take this class again unless I knew I could attend 100% of the lectures.

He's a good lecturer.  Attendance isn't mandatory, but I would strongly recommend it because he basically outlines everything you need to know for the online exams.  The only big negative to me is that the films he gets to choose (not part of the university curriculum) are obviously just some of his favorites; you don't get a lot of diversity.
