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.
Kips classes are meant to be challenging...Do NOT take his class if you just want an easy class. That is not the purpose or goal of his courses. If you want to learn about yourself, and learn your own limits - take this class. Kip has given me confidence and shown me that my story counts. I'd say that's a pretty rad teacher...
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!
Kip's teaching style either works great or is just not right for you; it's up to you to decide. More importantly, it's up to you to push your own boundaries and expectations. Those who complain usually fail to put in enough effort to step out of their comfort zones and explore new aspects of themselves. This class will change your life. Take it.
His grading is subjective and not totally based on any one factor. If you are cute and female you will do better than most. His insecurity with his self-identity is evident in the type of art he creates. Fulbeck will use his grading scale subjectively and without and integrity. I graduated all honors and artist of the year, no thanks to kip!
Boring and quite rude.
Lectures went by fast, were always interesting and inspiring. He's quite funny too. Sections were pointless. Sometimes we just sat there. I guess it depends on your TA. You will definitely remember this class, though. Wait til you get to the final...
Hands down. This class was definitely the most memorable of all my college courses. Kip challenged me to think freely and open mindedly and I learned so much in that short amount of time about creativity and not being afraid of what people will think about you. This class is not for the faint of heart. You really need to put everything you’ve g
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.
This freshman seminar was pretty much a waste of my time. A lot of people liked it, so I know I am in the minority. But I thought the seminar was of little worth. I ended up leaving the class learning nothing.

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!
The lectures were really interesting, but if you miss just one class you will loose 10% off your total grade, unless you write a 5 page paper to make up for it.
Kip, while glib, really encouraged me and others to push our boundaries.
Totally into himself.. gag!

I think what draws the curious minds of his students more than anything is Kip's unexpected approaches to teaching. He has a particular ability to mold the outlandish with the quite simple, and the invasive with the liberal. He pulls no punches, and will
kip is concieted as hell..
Kip rocks! His lectures challenge you to think and create projects outside the box; waaaay outside of the box! He's a fun man to get to know and will teach you a lot about respecting yourself and others.
Kip is a one of the best teachers from whom I've ever had the good fortune to learn. If you have the chance to take his class, do it. You won't regret it.

Just an allaround caring dude. Doesn't hurt that he's not old and stodgy so still retains some of his youth.
Fabulous man! Great teacher, great mentor and great friend. Inspiration to anyone he meets on the beach, stage or in class. Greatest Dog EVER!
