Reviews of professor James Kilby

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Take Dr. Kilby! He is witty and makes class lots of fun. His exams are super easy, and he even offers some extra credit. This Intro to Archaeology class is fun to take even if it isn't a part of your major.

You can really tell that he loves the subject that he is teaching. He makes everything clear, and easy to follow. If you don't show up to class you probably won't make a good grade in his class. Even though he has a textbook for us to read, he mostly tests what he lectures in class. If you're interested in archaeology make sure to talk to him.

Dr. Kilby is an amazing professor. He made going to class enjoyable and kept the lectures entertaining. He is really passionate about this subject and it encourages his students to be the same way. I would take him again.

My favorite professor, hands down. He's hilarious and knows his stuff. If you engage with him, he will go the extra mile to help you get the grade you want. He wants to know you, particularly if you're an anthro major. He gives extra credit opportunities and assigns relevant readings. Read, attend, and talk to him and you'll pass.

Nice professor with fairly easy tests. He's hilarious of you like deadpan humor. Overall very straight forward on what he wants you to learn, gives a review sheet before every test. 3 Tests for 75% of your grade, 25% each 25% from lab, consisting 12 assignments and 2 quizzes that are worth 2 lab grades each

Was disappointed with this professor. The COVID 19 pandemic took place so we had to transition to online assignments and quizzes. He didnt make the transition easy, he made things more stressful and just wasnt helpful. Also didnt receive our grades till the very end of the semester. His grading criteria is also unethical.

Kilby is great! He draws and writes on the board more than he uses powerpoints, but I still thought he was easy to follow. He is very funny and knowledgeable. Willing to help if you need it. Lecture is composed of a few tests (says he gives pop quizzes and takes random attendance, but never did). The book is helpful, but not mandatory

He knows what he is doing. Easy class if you read EVERYTHING he gives out. Hes really nice and wants you to do good. Participant in class, and befriend him. Hes a nice grader, and just wants to see you try. Everybody loves him. You will have to study.
