Comment:

Professor Qualls is great! He is a tough grader, but he is very friendly and more than willing to help outside of class. I recommend having him look at early drafts of papers before submitting the final draft. He makes you think in his class, not just absorb information.

Comment:

One of the most challenging classes I have ever taken, and it was only a first-year writing seminar, yet, I've increased my writing skills tremendously. Prof. Qualls may be cutthroat policy-wise, but he's actually very friendly and approachable outside and inside of class. This man can teach you a lot, but you'll have to put in the effort to learn.

I've taken a ton of classes with this man. He made me actually understand history! I loved this man, he has a heart of gold. If you get to have a class with him it will clean up your writing like crazy, do it. And his sweater vests are amazing.

Great professor!!!! I had a lot of fun in his class. Be prepared to think, not absorb info. He expects a lot in your witting and expects you to be vocal and participate in class, however, he's a great lecturer. He is always around to help you out and genuinely cares about his students.

Qualls is very interesting and insightful in class, but grades with a vengence. He is an extremely hard grader at writing. Overall he is a good tracher and a good person, but this class is not for slacking off.

The greatest professor I have ever had. He is fun and interesting and the only professor I have ever seen break into a Russian jig in the middle of class. He helped me to become a better student and tighten my writing. He is tough but it was all worth it. KQ is a great man and students shall consider themselves lucky to be graced by his presence!

I can't believe how easy he is!!! The guy gives you every question that will be on a test...doesn't even make you have to guess. You don't even have to read, just look up the terms on the study guide and you're good. Plus he loves his subject.

Prof Qualls will help you to achieve things you never thought you were capable of. His lectures are always really interesting, and he is probably one of the only Profs who can get people to sign up for a 3:00 class on a Friday. His classes are worth it.
