Reviews of professor David Kirkpatrick

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Kirkpatrick loves what he teaches and it is very clear in this class. There is a reading every single class, along with an analysis paper every week on those readings. The papers are relatively easy though, so they just boost your grade if you try. Otherwise, there is one research paper and one final as your grade. He's a great professor!

Dr Kirkpatrick is an amazing professor! There is weekly reading in the textbook for reading quizzes, but nothing too intense. He is so nice and is always happy to talk after class or have you in his office hours. Super sweet professor and the class was overall pretty easy.

Prepare to buckle up because this class felt like a major class and not a gen ed. There is so much reading every other day and there is only one exam (final) and it happens to be super difficult despite taking it after a week of studying and making 200 flash cards. The attendance policy is also insane. Don't take! Look for easier professor.

This class was a pretty fun class. Great professor, really enjoyed having him. He is a nice and funny guy. He is really passionate about what he teaches us. The class is pretty much three grades. One final, a research project, and weekly reading quizzes. You definitely need to go to class and read the assigned readings.

Textbook is required, but I was able to find it online. Readings are long and some are historical, which are hard to read. Quizzes are open-note but not easy- only a few questions so if you get a few wrong youre screwed. Class itself is a little boring but if youre taking religion, take him. Attendance is mandatory, but he is super understanding.
