Reviews of professor Kenneth Van Bik

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Van Bik was a really nice guy and you can tell he cares for his students however, his class sub par at best. As mentioned in someone elses review, lots of mistakes in lectures and quizzes/exams. Takes a bit to respond to emails and has a bit of an accent that might be hard for some. Used a separate rubric for essay than what was posted :/

Professor Van is a great professor! his class is a bit challenging because his English is a bit hard to understand sometimes. He can sometimes move to fast but if you ever struggle with anything, he is very approachable and helpful. Overall, a very easy class and no book needed as he uploads slides that contain info we need to know for exams.

Van Bik is great. Class was super fun and he seems to care a lot about his students. I liked his teaching style and the jokes that he would tell in class

He really tries his best but his class was difficult for me. My toughest class to gain any knowledge this semester. The textbook is not needed. He has a hard accent and I really respect that he tries, but his zoom and PowerPoints are full of errors. His tests and quizzes are full of mistakes too which he'll fix if you email him.

Very funny and engaging! Definitely knows his stuff but is always open to comments from students. He has a broad knowledge of various languages. linguistics is my major and his class made me so glad I chose this major! Makes his own ppt slides which are uploaded and can be used for homework and to study. Tests are easy if you pay attention.

Kenneth is a great professor!! His tests are easy because he gives you study guides beforehand. You definitely need to study before tests, just read the slides that he posts and you will do great. Dont need the book at all because his slides cover it. Would definitely take again!!

Professor Van Bik, is a very easy going professor. It's hard to understand him because of his accent sometimes, but you can easily ask him to repeat himself. His class is very lecture heavy. He has a clear grading criteria, 5 homework assignments, 3 exams, one of the midterms the entire class did not do well so he curved it. Get ready for jokes.

The beginning of this class was actually enjoyable but as the semester progressed the lectures got boring. The professor himself is very nice and genuine and some say you cant understand him due to his accent but I never had that problem. he does give extra credit opportunities which did help me pass. Some of the quizzes/exams were hard

I am one of Professor Van Bik's biggest fans! He is a great professor who really cares about making sure his students understand the material. The work was challenging, but not overly difficult. Lots of in-class work for practice. He answers emails quickly and is very understanding. He does have an accent, but isn't hard to understand.
