CollegeOverall 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.
words can't describe how much I love this guy
He's just the best
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).
Contract grading, super nice, genuinely wants to help you succeed as an engineer and in understanding writing
All main assignments are fun and engaging. The criteria for Contract Grading is pretty clear- we just have to be consistent with our work through the quarter. Kevin is very accessible in and out of class, and offers helpful feedback on projects. You have to read and write A LOT for this course though, so it's best to stay on top of things.
