    Overall Kevin is a great professor. He's kind and whatnot. However, he appears to try really hard to stand out and uses his website outside of Canvas which kind of overcomplicates things for those who aren't very tech savvy. If you're looking to take one of his courses I'd just recommend becoming more familiar with the ins and outs of Google Drive.

    WRIT105M . Rutherford K 6 Months Ago

    I loved 105m! The class was engaging and Prof Rutherford did a great job teaching. He's super understanding and approachable and gives great feedback on your work if you ask him for it, along with extensions, if you like creative writing and multimedia, I would def take this class.

    He's nice. He does "contract grading" so it's mostly by completion/effort. You have to write an additional paper to argue for an A rather than B (assuming you did the completion part to get a B minimum).
