Reviews of professor Austin Kocher

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Kocher truly wants students to succeed. Very sensitive to student feedback. Extremely laid back and easy to talk to. Weekly quiz & assignment (5 Qs & 2-3 pghs each) but guaranteed a good score as long as your answers are logical. Final paper worth 50% of grade but you have all semester to work on it. Awesome professor and definitely recommend!

The class was better than the average online class. Grading criteria was clear. Kocher is very caring and wants all students to succeed. There was slightly more work than the average online class, but not an unreasonable amount. However, Kochers accessibility and use of Slack is what really makes this an above average class.

Started the course with clear expectations from the professor and a very helpful and precise guide for the material. He is quick to follow up and provided great feedback. Friendly and professional correspondence.

This is an upper level course and it is expected that you will read a lot and be able to comprehend. I advise you just manage your time accordingly. Dr. Kocher was one of the most understanding and approachable professors I have come across. He provided great feedback and always made sure his students are putting their best effort in. A true gem!

As a 400/500 course, you should expect nothing less than a class with moderate to difficult assignments. The workload is not bad, usually one chapter in the text every week and one advanced reading article/multimedia assignment with a quiz for each one. Instructor gives feedback on everything and really takes the students word into consideration.
