Reviews of professor John Kessler

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
JOHN KESSLER IS AMAZING. He is extremely passionate about oceanography and cares about his students. He wants you to succeed in his class. John's lecturers were thought-provoking and informative. He is accessible outside of class and gives his students pre-lecture videos to watch, which helped me understand the class content for that week

Professor Kessler is passionate about his field, which shows through his engaging lectures. Reading from the textbook is required for the class and it is a rather dry, technical read. Though luckily the Professor also posts short videos for each chapter to help prime students on the concepts it will cover. HWs and tests are reasonable.

John's Oceanography class was a great time! He is passionate, approachable, and explains concepts very clearly. The workload is manageable, but make sure you're participating consistently. Exams are straightforward and the questions are similar to that of the problem sets, so do the homework! Overall, great course and would recommend for engineers.

There are very few teachers as caring. He wants to hear what students need to succeed. He has an extreme passion towards the subject. He is very transparent with his teaching and explanations. He does repeat stuff in the videos in class, but he pays attention to the discussions to explain concepts in class. Best class I've had in a long time.

One of my favorite classes in the EESC department. The course content is very interesting and professor Kessler is good at lecturing. The only thing I didn't like was the heavy workload, but everything else is fine.
