Critical Theory with Kaisary is a treat! Graded by attendance/participation, an open-book midterm, and a final essay-style exam -- that's it!! Conveys the high points of complex theory with clarity and depth. Extremely knowledgable

Prof Kaisary is an incredible prof. He is a phenomenal teacher and I love his accent and the passionate way he taught us about the Haitian revolution and human rights. Lots of readings in his class and be prepared to give presentations. He has an interesting approach to pedagogy that I truly enjoy. I took him twice, which means he is top tier.

The prof used previously recorded lectures from a different prof which made lots of the material/teaching feel disconnected between the videos & the prof/TAs. The material is dry & the take-home midterm is graded toughly w/ harsh requirements to use course resources only for your examples. Pretty sure this would have been a B if it was in person.

I took this class in Fall 2019. Kaisary is a good professor. Although some of the textbook readings were boring, he did explain them well in the lectures. The case test is easy, as well as the first assignment. However, for the final assignment, I was not given my mark and received no feedback.
