Reviews of professor Kenneth Hochstetter

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I'm not the best with words so it was a little hard for me to comprehend certain topics but he's a really good professor. attendance and participation mandatory and only 5 exams, no final. I would highly recommend him!

Enthusiastic philosophy instructor, humor-infused lectures (wish more people laughed at his jokes tho), ensures comprehension with frequent Q&A. Easy, completion-based homework. No papers in fall 2023, unique exam questions so no Googling. Bonus: one extra credit assignment. Enjoy the engaging and supportive class!

Ken is a really good professor. Participation and attendance are really important in this class, as you have to participate at least 10 times over the course of the semester. His lectures are interesting and fairly easy to understand. Exams are easy for the most part, and homework is graded on completion, not correctness. I'd highly recommend him!

The book is very important, HW is taken out of it and he does not always show the problems. Tests are based on it too. He is understandable, gave me the point for my late (by 10 min) assignment. Participation graded by 1pt for each day you talk. whether it be one or 5 questions that day. HW seems like a lot but really isn't. Grades attendance.

It's very test heavy, homework is pretty easy, pay attention during lectures, he creates his own test material and does not allow retakes/makeups for any reason, even if you have covid or something serious so if you can't commit to a class straight on for a couple months be wary, overall he is really nice and helps learn the materials, just strict

Terrible class at least online. The professor makes you buy his book that he wrote. Which is written so badly and super confusing. He does not provide any notes at all. You are on your own for the whole class. He is by far the laziest professor. He is just here to make money and that's it. Just a way to sell a book rather than to teach people.

Mediocre class. Tests brought down my grade a lot. Questions were written in really weird and complicated ways. A lot of the students would all get failing scores and only a few would score really high. 4 units with about 10 homework assignments and 2 discussions each unit. No final.

This professor is very funny and genuinely cares about his students if you are struggling don't hesitate to reach out. He has very few assignments and wants you to understand them material not just memorize it so he uses unique test questions that he generally will mention during class and after the homework and quizzes are due he will go over them
