Reviews of professor Kapena Landgraf

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Kapena gave lots of information which helped a lot.  He used Laulima well because you could see all of your grades for homework and the essays.  It took him a while to grade stuff about a week but that was fine.  If there was an issue he would consider letting you revise a grade as long as you contacted him as soon as the grade was posted.

At the beginning of class, he told us that he would give around 10 pages of reading a week which is not bad at all. Then, randomly, around week seven, he gave us 100 pages!
He also claimed that we wouldn't have to do much writing, but I ended up having to write two 20+ page papers.

This class was organized well and easy to follow for an online class. I found the workload was a lot but manageable. He was great with feedback and responding. I can tell he's passionate about what he's teaching and really wants you to succeed.

I full on had to laugh when I read some of neg. comments.  The class is not hard.  You get one whole week for do only a couple worksheets and video.  Even had one schedule with the due dates at the start of class so we could plan out everything.  Almost every day he send emails reminding us of everything too.  What else we need for pass?

If you're going take his online classes, you gotta be able to time manage and know when to ask for help. That's what got a lot of people in the end and it has nothing for do with him individually. It's all on you to hit him up if you don't understand and he's there to help.  Online classes is a different beast, they're not for cruising.

It's silly reading the other posts about having to read and write a lot.  People do realize this is a college-level composition course, right?  It's sort of the point.

He treats his students like the adults that they are, which is why there are so many coming on here to cry.

The course is asynchronous (online). There are three big assignments and weekly lessons/homework. There is lots of time to do things, but don't procrastinate! It's easy to fall behind. Follow the course schedule and read the syllabus. All deadlines are "hard"; if you miss the due date, you get a zero. Check announcements and emails daily.

The course provides tons of clarifying materials, and because it's online, you can contact Kapena anytime for help.  There is more than enough time to complete the work, especially compared to courses on campus or in person.  Students have a week to complete weekly homework assignments and a month to write, peer review, and revise major essays.
