Reviews of professor Harper Kirk

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The grading process feels challenging as it's unclear where mistakes occur, making it difficult to improve. Additionally, the lecture slides are overloaded with text, which creates a barrier to understanding.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor is very political and opinionated, you will hear something every lecture.

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Very lecture heavy but he tries to make the material engaging and easy to understand! Weekly discussion posts and 2 papers, but he's a fair grader. At times his comments are political or he curses to make a point, but overall he's very kind, loves memes and actually wants you to learn and express your views!

She is an amazing professor. I liked going to class because she would go on tangents about random things, so it was never boring.

Horrible, boring class and even worse instructor.

amazing class, learned so much. you will have to read a lot, some readings are easier than others. most classes are structured around class-wide discussions on the reading, so you DO have to read to participate. other than that, final project was average difficulty; make sure to be involved in the lead up to it. great professor and lecturer, 10/10

Professor Kirk clearly really cares about the topic she teaches, and this care comes through in her lectures. That being said, she would sometimes go off into niche tangents that would only make sense to certain students. Tests were kind of hard, but as long as you go to class, participate, and give it effort, you'll be more than ok.

Harper was super cool and really interesting! I loved the course content, but the readings were really dense at times. She was really responsive and funny. Make sure to do the readings and homework early on in the class, as they get more difficult to understand towards the end.

By far one of my favorite classes (and professors) that I've had the opportunity to take. Two days of lecture and one day of in-class discussion with weekly discussion posts. Dense readings, but contributed a lot to my understanding. Professor Kirk was pleasant to talk to and made the material very engaging. I hope to take her again in the future.

Kirk is a great prof, so kind, funny, and always willing to help. His concepts were slightly tricky at first, but I met with him outside of class and he was so helpful. Assignments are easy, tests are easy, and he makes his class actually enjoyable. He does a great job of teaching, and can't recommend him enough for any PHIL class.

Very kind, actually wants you to learn from material. The readings are engaging, but definitely write out your thoughts as you go - it'll help with analysis and his assignments. If you're used to a lecture format, the discussions may feel a little lost, but stay focused and you'll do fine.
