Reviews of professor Kerry Kartchner

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I've take a couple classes from Kartchner, and the more I get to know him, the more I like him. He's super caring, the tests are pretty easy if you pay attention in his reviews, and he's just such a nice guy. If you're interested in a career in foreign affairs and express that interest to him, he'll give you any advice/help he can muster.

Just got done with Kartchner's 470. If you want the most qualified & insightful 300/400 professor then take him. I've had about 15 professors in the Poli Sci program so far and am most impressed with Kerry. Ya, you need to work for your grade, but you get what you give. He was a lead nuclear negotiator with USSR in the Cold War. Take Kartchner.

By far one of my favorite professors. His career was in a high-up position in nuclear arms reduction negotiation with the Soviet Union, so he's got real-world experience. Discussion-based course. Amazing anecdotes and insight. Really puts the time in to help his students succeed. Wrote an amazing letter of rec.

Dr. Kartchner is awesome. He set up his class so we learned a lot about current events and how US foreign policy is affected. The class isn't too difficult but you really want to try because you can learn so much. He definitely knows what he's talking about. He really cares about your success as well! I HIGHLY recommend taking a class from him.

This guys knows what he's talking about. He has some amazing stories to tell and knows his stuff inside and out. I would take another class from him in a heartbeat.

I loved Professor Kartchner! His experience in foreign policy made him very qualified to teach US Foreign Policy, not to mention interesting. He is willing to provide help and advice for the paper and even future career paths. As long as you participate and study for the tests and do the paper well, you'll get a good grade and learn a lot!

I thought this would be my favorite class due to the ratings, but the professor just talks about his life and random stuff. Then when you get to the test, you aren't prepared. The overall grade is determined by a few assignments. You will get a lower grade than you expect in this class.

Take Professor Kartchner just for the chance to learn. He seriously knows his stuff. As long as you are fine with sometimes a slower delivery, you'll benefit from the class. A few papers and a couple random assignments and its not too bad. Take it for the connections and experience.

When I was in the class, he was totally fine. I thought he gave good feedback on how each assignment went. However, after he told me "excellent job" on my presentation, he gave me a 70%. Then, after saying my paper was "much improved, good work!", he gave me another C! He didn't report the grades until the class ended so I couldn't even complain!
