Reviews of professor Stacia Kock

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I took a niche class with only 8 other students in it, so participation and attendance matter. Very passionate and knowledgeable, but readings can be super hard, long, and occasionally boring. Interesting discussions made up for that, but there were sometimes readings when we had to have her explain what they meant. Willing to help & cares about us

Dr. Kock is very friendly and helpful. Class isn't the hardest, but it still took a decent amount of time.

She is not the most genuine, and as the class went on it felt less and less like she wanted us to succeed. She compared our classes writing capabilities in a non-productive manner, and made passive-aggressive comments.

Professor Kock is very challenging, but it is so worth it. I've never been pushed more than in my HONR111 class, and I don't think I would do well in other classes otherwise. I can see why people think the work is excessive and how she can be a little critical, but the work sets you up for your thesis/creative project. A challenge but worthwhile

Overall pretty good, about 3 readings every week, makes you post weekly discussion questions, participation and attendance is graded, only 3 papers

This was a writing intensive course, so be ready to write, but her feedback and opportunities for help are there if you are willing to go out and get them. She loves to get to know her students and wants them to do well. She is extremely accessible and helpful. She is thought-provoking in class and sometimes brings candy to class.

Honors 111 was hard but manageable. She is always willing to meet outside of class. Because you have a large paper at the end, be prepared to start early on it. Do not miss a reading and make sure you participate. She isn't always clear with directions and kind of makes you guess. Her writing style is kinda weird.

It's honors 11, so of course it's hard, but Dr. Kock makes the class very enjoyable. It's more class discussion than lecture and if you're quieter, you will lose points. She is a tough grader, but she's reasonable and fair if you have a special circumstance.
