Comment:

Took the class fast track online and his videos are right on point. Watch them and pass the course with flying colors. The exams are mainly common sense basic computer and internet/mobile phone knowledge. If you search the internet correctly you can find the answers in articles and don't really need the book. Very clear instructions, great prof!

Captain.. eerr.. Professor Kirk was one of the kindest professors I've had in my time as a CS major. His teaching is like watching a good step by step tutorial and he answers questions with elaborate answers. If he doesn't know something, he'll take the time to find the answers to you in his own time. Take him if you want someone inspirational!

Comment:

Professor Kirk has been a great help across all three of his programming classes that I've attended. He gives out a sizable amount of work coupled with reasonable deadlines which really lends itself to asking for help. He is always willing to help a student so long as you don't let your work pile up.

Comment:

He is very easy going and understanding if you can't submit your assignments on time. Plenty of easy extra credit opportunities as well. He will help you out as much as you can with the his assignments. He'll practically show you exactly how to do them if you come to class. The only complaint is that the class isn't challenging at times.

I just concluded his class for Maymester of 2018. Although this was a quick pace course the content was easy. If you have problems or questions his videos are a huge help and he is quick to reply back to emails. I had to rent a book just for the exams though. He is a great professor!

I had him for Spring 2018 and thought that it was going to be a hard class but it wasn't. One assignment was hard because I didn't know how to use a software but his videos teached me. I'm glad I took him. He didn't give out many assignments; 5 assignments, 3 exams and 2 blackboards. I had to buy the book for the open book exams. Get Dr. Kirk!

Comment:

Kirk is a truly great professor & it was a pleasure taking the course with him. I had taken 1436 @ Richland & it was all book work (bc the profs in charge wrote the mandatory book) & it was BORING! Kirk made it fun & easy to understand. No book, all hands-on. Attendance isn't really a must to pass, but I guarantee you won't fail if you just show up

Comment:

Out of all the classes I had this semester, David Kirk's was the most enjoyable. He has a kind heart and a great sense of humor! The class in and of itself may be tough for some (depending on their programming ability) but David Kirk is always willing to help and make you chuckle with his bad puns. I would highly recommend David Kirk to anyone.

Professor Kirk is one of the best teachers I have ever had. My biggest complaint however, is he holds the student's hands way to much. If you just want to pass the class, this will be perfectly fine. But if you are trying to learn programming, while you will learn, it may not be as much as you want.

Kirk is easily one of the best professors I've had on any subject. I've alway wanted to learn how to code and I tried teaching myself, but could never understand it. Kirk made it simple and easy to understand. He is easily distracted, and I am too But he usually realizes it and gets back on track I am glad I took his classes 1436 and 1437

Professor Kirk is awesome! Gives extra credit every now and then, but with his lectures, you can tell he is passionate about what he does. He'll also bring up kahoot as part of the extra credit and it's lots of fun! I recommend, easy A, show up, take notes and do all of the 4 exams and assignments, you won't regret it!

Easy A if youre familiar with microsoft office .he has detailed assignment instructions and also has youtube videos explaining some functions,so you wont fail. The hardest assignment was probably Access but I still got an A on it! Test answers are right in the book so it is very helpful but we only covered ch 1-6. Professor Kirk is a cool guy :)

I'm taking this class along with 3 others. It's a 4 week course and I've completed the work in 2 weeks. 5 homework assignments, 3 exams, and 3 discussion boards. Detailed instructions for homework is provided and I suggest the book for exams. Not all questions can be googled! I will admit the homework some time to complete, but it was informative

I took this class for the Maymester. I didn't know a thing about computers and this was my very first online class ever. This course was perfect for that. This man lays everything out for you on You tube . He answers all questions in a very timely manner and is extremely helpful. If you take this class and fail, you don't need to be in school.

There were a lot of interesting things I learned from Professor Kirk. He gives a lot of homework dealing with Microsoft office. He gives test and one has to study for them using the book and his online Power Point lectures. He's an easy going professor and has open labs to help students with their work.
