Comment:

One of the best profs I've ever had. Very inspirational and knowledgeable guy. The class was really fun, a lot of discussions and deep concepts, which did come with a great deal of reading. Only 8 total grades for the semester, which is quite difficult, meaning you have to do well on everything, but totally doable. But take his class and enjoy it.

Kirk honestly rocks. He was definitely one of my favorite professors at Delta College. The course is reading heavy, and the papers make a meaningful impact on your grade. Take the course seriously and have fun! Kirk may seem unapproachable at first but he's really cool when you get to know him.

Professor Wolf was indeed hard at first to me sense I had no idea what Ethics was to begin with (but needed the class). You dont get a lot of assignments, but the ones you do are big and you need to work hard to get your grade. He treats you like a grad student, but as long are you show up prepared and try your hardest, youll pass.

Comment:

One of the worst professors I've had. Very tough grader and only has about 7 assignments all semester so make sure you do good on everything. Time in class is pointless because it is all class discussion about his opinion or politics. Have to read 30-100 pages every night. Tests are over EVERYTHING you read, doesn't tell you what is on exam.

Comment:

Prof. Wolf really cares about if students learn or not. He is very good at (reasonably) challenging students to think deeply and relate those thoughts to current events. The final is a group project, mostly free-reign, but it is VERY possible to pass it if you try, even if group projects are not really your thing. Give his class a try!

What a fantastic professor! I wish I could have taken Kirk in-person instead of online (wouldn't have been able to get to Delta everyday, so I took him online). He leaves feedback for EVERYTHING, and is always encouraging new ways of thinking and discussion.

Mr. Wolf was my absolute favorite teacher at Delta! I think he truly cares about his students and is very passionate about what he teaches. Encourages mutual respect for class discussions and has some very inspirational, amazing lectures. I took this class because it was required but you get so much more out of it than credits with Mr. Wolf as your

He was an average teacher. Be prepared to do a lot of reading outside of class, and be ready to discuss it in class. Overall, he was okay.

Mr. Wolf was an awesome guy! I really enjoyed the class every day, which says a lot because it was at 9:30am and I'm not a morning person lol. I really learned a lot from his lectures. but since there are two tests and one group project for a grade, most of your overall grade is based on the final group project. Which kind of sucked. So get a good group and you'll do great!

He works hard to give a quality education, so in return he wants the students to work hard. My advice is simple, take his class, and work hard. He teaches and allows for open discussion. by having an open discussion in class it helped me retain a huge amount of information

Comment:

I didn't expect ethics to be the hardest class I would be taking considering I took calculus, micro as well as business ethics this semester but it was. He is a really tough grader and expects you to give your input in class over the material. Not only that your final exam grade is a group project and personally I like working alone. Don't take him

very respectful teacher. i did enjoy his class and attended regularly, however, he gives a grade based on participation. being a shy person, i never really give my input so i received a B for participation. i thought that was unfair. it is vital to complete the reading assignments when given. i would take him again!

One of the best online instructors I've had so far at Delta. He keeps the 'conversation' going all semester long with very interesting topics. Great feedback on writing assignments. Keep up with the reading and you'll be fine. A+

He gives you pages to read for each class. Everyday you will have a class discussion on the things that you should have read the night before. This makes attendance a must. Other than that, the only homework that was given were a few papers here and there. As long as you show up to class and give an honest effort you will pass.

I thought the class was alright, direction on assignments could be a little bit more clear. Kirk was always prepared for class but he kind of seems like a robot I wish he had more of a personality.

Comment:

The first class I took with Kirk was Intro to Honors Philosophy. It wasn't even on my list of needed classes, but I picked it up as an elective and it was one of the best choices I have made. He is the best professor I've had and just a genius! Lecture is never boring and he opened my mind so much. I have gained a lot from being one of his students
