Comment:

Super cool, emphasized thinking skills over memorization skills. Understood the concept of "students as real people." I really miss him.. He was a temporary professor. I don't know where he is now. :(

What an awesome prof - really easy to talk to, brilliant, and a really nice guy. It's too bad that UMM doesn't want him here any more... oh wait - UMM students do - just not the stupid English faculty!

Kidd is amazing. He is very understanding and eager to work with you if you are willing to make the effort. He loves his job. He teaches that the simple questions are often more profound than the most complex ones. He will do everything he can to help you. Everyone should take a class with him!

He taught me that answering baby-level questions is much more difficult than answering "difficult" questions, and that Newton's Principia is worth the effort. Dr. Kidd rules!

Neve rwill you find a professor who cares more about student than the university. His talent is underrated and he is an intelectual in stead of strict social issues all the time

Comment:

Good at getting students excited about learning, but kind of lazy as far as class preparation, grading, and assigning. Often seems to gloss over things. Seems to specialize in deconstructing other arguments which makes it fun to deconstruct him.

He is a wonderful man. Very helpful when you need it and is always smiling. Unless you talk in class. Then he lets you play Air Hockey. Everyone should take a class from him.

He is extremely energetic and great at stimulating thought. He may be too popular though...he is difficult to get a hold of because people are always in his office chatting away!
