    He's just the best

    WRIT2 . Rutherford K 1 Year, 3 Months Ago

    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

    WRIT2 . Rutherford K 1 Year, 11 Months Ago

    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.

    WRIT2 . Rutherford K 1 Year, 11 Months Ago

    He's a great guy and professor. I don't necessarily enjoy his contract grading, but it is very fair none the less. His advice on essays is very useful and he definitely cares about his students. He's very passionate about writing and teaching and loves the history of writing.

    WRIT105R . Rutherford K 1 Year, 7 Months Ago

    I didn't really like his teaching style (contract grading, a lot of group work and busy work) but he is an incredibly caring person. The best experiences I had with him was during individual meetings. Very accommodating and kind, and will help you succeed.
