Reviews of professor Josiah Kidwell

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
The class is online which makes it difficult for some people. The course was very outlined and simple to follow. Its a chapter of reading a week, followed by a discussion post online, and finally a quiz. The quiz does not count towards your grade. The discussion posts really matter! Dont slack off! Thats why I passed with a C+ instead of an A.

This class is extremely test-heavy, He gives three tests and one final paper. There are no other assignments that he gives out beside the participation which is handed out very easily(Just show up). I got an A on everything except the first test(I got an F), and that is what landed me at a B. Pay attention to the lectures, and you'll be fine! Easy!

Professor Kidwell is phenomenal! He is extremely passionate about the subject matter and encourages students to get involved in discussions making the class a pleasure to come to. His lectures are very descriptive, informative, and engaging. The three tests and final paper are relatively easy with minimal studying. Would take again!

I took SOC422 (Contemporary Theory), and Dr. Kidwell is an excellent professor who is great at explaining very complicated and theory heavy topics in an easy to understand and engaging way. 

Participation and Attendance technically ARE mandatory and graded, but Dr. Kidwell is very understanding and flexible to your needs.

Dr. Kidwell is a very kind and passionate teacher and seems well-versed in his field. Encourages discussion during class but is not the type to pressure anyone into speaking.
