I took his class online and it really is an easy A. I really loved how structured the class was and he is clear on everything he expects on discussion boards. You also have multiple attempts for the online quizzes. I definitely recommend!

His online class is straight forward, maybe 4 essay questions on exams overall. He was agreeable to my schedule changes when I asked in advance.I wish I didn't have him for an online fast track because I wanted more time with this material! Great class. His slides were a lesson in organized chaos--listen to them if you can.

An amazing professor, you can tell that Dr. K loves what he teaches. He loves students that ask questions or engage with the lecture. There's homework and participation every class, but it's easy. We fell behind so he ended up doubling our participation points and made every quiz a take home, even our final. One of the best at Palomar.

Comment:

Dr K. is the best professor I've ever had! The class consists of weekly quizzes that you can retake, a midterm, and a final! All multiple choice with few essay questions. The class is straightforward and is not hard if you read the required materials. Take this class and you will learn a lot!

Comment:

Easy class but there's a lot to do. Homework due every class and 1 essay due. 1 presentation due based off a play and participation points are at random. PowerPoints are helpful but the info can get confusing at times if you don't ask questions. You'll literally sit in class the whole time listening to him talk and no one else will talk.

Very inspiring teacher, definitely likes what he does. Besides one major essay (that you have tons of time to do), keeping up with some minor reading and showing up to class is all you'll need.

Online. No software or book! Each week has three 15 page PDFs to read and about three 40 minute PPoints. Professional, gets back in a few days on email. One 10 question mult choice quiz (3 tries) quite easy. Once month exam of 18 mult choice questions and 2 short essays, fairly easy. 2 discuss board posts required each week. Very informative.

You can tell he loves his job and loves what he teaches. It makes the class more interesting. He encourages questions and if you need help in the class he is very willing to help you (it may be hard to see him though, depending on your schedule). Show up to class and take notes. That's all you need to pass.

Professor Kerckhove's class was filled with eye-opening, informative lectures and fantastic class discussions. He took great care to be unbiased in his lectures; this is, perhaps, the most important quality a professor of philosophy can posess.

This class is super simple. Read the book, answer the questions, and do the essays. The answers to questions are in the back of the book as well. The professor is very helpful and understanding.

He's a pretty good professor. His organization was pretty nice except we fell behind so halfway through the class stopped looking at the syllabus. I understood almost all the concepts beforehand but he did explain them very clearly and organized the thoughts neatly.

Comment:

I took this class online but I didn't listen to his PowerPoint lectures, I just read them. I did fairly well on the quizzes (sometimes using the 3 chances). My suggestion would be to take the quizzes the max times because most of the exam questions come from the quizzes.

Comment:

Professor Kerckhove is a very neat professor. I took his online class and everything was clear and concise as to what he expects and wants. There was a midterm essay and final essay. They're basically 5 questions, 300 words each. This class is very doable in 8 weeks if you follow his instructions.

Comment:

Took his online class, which was pretty self explanatory. I got an A, but I really had to sit and read the book to understand. I probably would have benefitted to take this class in person to have someone explain these concepts and ideas in person. My only complaint was that it took him almost a week to respond to an email.
