Reviews of professor David Kirkpatrick

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Kirkpatrick is one of the best professors I've had. While REL 101 may not always be interesting, he truly does care about his students. Towards the end of this semester he adjusted the course to help accommodate students he noticed were struggling. He cares about his students as people and not just as students. 10/10 take him if you can!!

This dude needs to be a professor somewhere like Dartmouth or Notre Dame, not J. Maddy. Absolutely amazing lectures, super smart, experienced, and relatable. He makes a somewhat dry subject captivating. Just read and show up. I got like a 98 by just reading and coming to lectures.

Dr. Kirkpatrick is an awesome professor. he's super passionate about what he teaches. He also cares a lot about his students and always says your name to acknowledge you every time you ask him a question/speak to him. Only 3 grades that count: weekly reading quizzes, one research project, and one final. definitely recommend this class.

It was a pleasure to take Dr. Kirkpatrick's course. His passion for and experiences with the material really made the lectures fascinating. There was a fair amount of reading and a discussion board for each unit, but nothing excessive. Overall, his class was a great experience.

Great guy but is quite difficult for a gened. Assigns too much reading material each week. There's one quiz a a week on the material but questions can be super specific so you have to take detailed notes on what you're reading. Your grade is made up of mostly the quizzes and 2 exams.

Mixed feelings. Very cool and caring guy, obsessed with The Bachelor. Gives weekly quizzes on too much reading material. Only 2 exams that covered too much material, but they were easy if you studied everything. Always let us out of class early, super understanding guy. Lecture was unorganized and vague sometimes. Okay choice.

He is very sweet and cares a lot about his students. His lectures are pretty good but sometimes he uses such sophisticated words that it's hard to understand what he's saying. There are reading quizzes every week but they don't count for much. The main part of your grade is determined by the midterm and the final.

Kirkpatrick is a great professor who cares a lot about the subject and about his students. If you need to take Rel 101, you need to take him. Not sure what else he teaches, but he is really great for this class.
