Reviews of professor James Kopf

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I found Kopf to be fairly tedious as a teacher and thinker. He's one of those people who just loves to layer critical lenses on top of obscure ideas, and he pushes that on students. Those theories were typically distracting and cumbersome instead of illuminating or insightful.

I took his comparative lit 142 class. Funny and relatable, really knows what he is talking about. You MUST go to class and participate, participation is worth 20%. Do the notations, easy points. Make sure you read all the assignments, can be tricky. Only negative is that grading criteria is quite unclear, and I never knew why I missed points.

The grade is mainly based on graded discussion posts for each lesson, however, the professor does not show or give feedback on them until the very last week of the semester so there is no way of knowing if you did well on them or if you are doing them correctly. The midterm and final are based on the notes which are very easy.

Professor is cool, but he didn't let me do a German Gojo Satoru impression in class. Wouldn't recommend watching Made in Abyss in class, I got a few weird looks rofl

A total nerd. Cares about his students and willing to help after class.
