I love this mans. He is so funny and a great person and professor. The class is difficult though, I wish he taught a 101 course, but he is a real gem. He is constantly interacting with students during lectures which is super fun. Would definitely recommend Jeff K-G

Jeff is very funny and he teaches the material well. There are two midterms and a final, as well as an ongoing term project that focuses on getting better at an aspect of communication. Definitely study for the tests, and make sure to put aside time to work on the projects, but he's very fair overall.

I love having Jeff for Interpersonal Comm. He's engaging and works the topics around what the class is interested in. I learn something new in every class that I can take into the real world. He tells you the topics on the tests so there are no surprises. I think everyone should take this class and would 100% recommend taking Jeff for IPC.

One of the best profs I've had. Very engaging, clearly loves what he teaches, makes learning accessible. There's a lot of writing, but he grades promptly and gives good feedback. Expects everyone to participate, so be prepared for that. Overall, great class with an amazing prof. Also... if you take it at 8:10 he might bring your class donuts (-;

Comment:

He is extremely entertaining in class. It was always one I didn't want to miss because it is a) easy and b) fun. There was a lot of reading required but it wasn't challenging and there weren't any tests, only a few heavily weighted assignments. Definitely love him for a 101 teacher! Take his class!

Jeff is a great guy. He is really helpful if you ask for it. Try him in something other than intro, I think he would be way better, but he is great!

Dr. KG is extremely fun and entertaining, constantly getting everyone involved in class exercises which not only helped you understand the various theories and such but were fun. I WANT to go to class and it is the only class I haven't skipped, precisely because I learn tons and the classroom environment is AWESOME. Learned TONS!

Out of touch, and distant from students despite my initial positive impressions of him. We presented our final projects on posterboards, preparing us for the workforce circa 1975 better than any other prof.

Good at blowing you off in office hours with a smile instead of helping you. Comes off as fake, though he is at least energetic.

If he doesn't like you, like he didn't like me, then it doesn't matter what you do cuz you're getting a B like I did. His manhood thrives on the fact he has the power of a gradebook.

One of the best profs I have had. He can make a three hour theory class semi interesting and he really knows what he teaches and you can tell he enjoys teaching. Different teaching style and he's not easy but take him if you get the chance.

Nice guy, liked the way he explains concepts in class. Can be a tough grader and at times seems hesitant to give full points. Also loves students who kiss a!!!!!
