Comment:
Such a good prof when you consider how boring a 3 hour class can be. Brings treats for motivation! Notes are hard to understand all on their own, but he explains them well in class and answers questions fully. All you need for an A is the old exams!

Dr. Kess himself has said it best: He wants the best for you, and he wants the best from you. Not for the faint of heart but worth it.

He brings food and candy to every class! How can he not be the best teacher? He is a funny guy, but his notes are hard to study from.

No one else has said this, but Dr. Kess is FUNNY! He has a hilarious and non-malicious sense of humour.
