Kip is awesome. Anyone and everyone from any major should take at least one class with him. His classes have changed my life immensely.

Great professor, but impossibly hard grader. Very inspirational, but Kip is pretty full of himself and is not easily impressed.

Kip grades based on how hard you try. Those who whine about subjectivity usually did not try hard enough and are bitter about it. He is unafraid to admit his own insecurities everyday, which is why he is so good at helping his students find their own source of confidence and inspiration. You'll leave this class richer in all ways!

totally overrated and totally ful(beck) of himself. if you're a dude, you'll love this guy. if you are an intelligent woman you'll probably find him charming, but definitely snakey. he takes his work seriously, but his overactive libido and ego will someday ruin him. he totally screwed me over. i should have reported him.

Maybe the best class I've taken at UCSB! Kip really cares about his students and puts a lot into his teaching. Personal Narrative is an amazing class where you learn a lot about yourself and how to incorporate this into your own art. We took field trips, had guest lecturers, watched videos...kips an awesome teacher! I want to take the class again!

Fabulous man! Great teacher, great mentor and great friend. Inspiration to anyone he meets on the beach, stage or in class. Greatest Dog EVER!
