Amazing professor! Easy and informative class! It says book is required but I never bought mine and just took notes during lecture and passed every exam. Laid back teacher and throws in jokes during lectures to make it fun. All he requires is 3 papers and 3 exams, make that happen and you pass! I recommend him 100%

Prof. Kirk was awesome! I took him for REL2300 during summer. Classes were about 3 1/2 hours long, he did lecture for the whole class most of the time. He throws a few jokes here and there which can keep you interested. He lets you know what you will be tested on. Overall, great professor I'll recommend to anyone!

Comment:

Professor Richard Kirk was very attentive during the Summer semester. He replies to all messages by the next day and understands student issues if explained before hand. You will need your book because there are vocabulary words that are used on the test and each Discussion question subject comes from the book.

Comment:

Professor Kirk is a great choice if you have to take comparative religions. His lectures can be long but interesting, read your chapters from the book but rely more on his lectures. He tells you what the written part of the tests will be in class a couple days in advance so show up. easy essays and tests make this an easy "A" class.

This was the best teacher I have ever had at CF. Very kind and helpful. Lots of papers, easy grader. Tests are easy, answers given. "Textbook" is useless and lectures are boring. Do not take 1 day a week lecture class, it was so boring I wanted to die. I also took his Intro to Humanities and got a 100 in the class. Great teacher. Would take again.

Mr. Kirk is the best teacher I have ever had! I took every single course he offered solely because he's an amazing teacher. Mr. Kirk worked with me outside of class and really cares about each and every one of his students. He offers extra credit options which are always awesome! I'm sad to graduate from CF because I'll miss Mr. Kirk.

I took Professor Kirk HUM1020 class online for the Summer term. His class was easy. You had 1 discussion, 4 or 5 test. If you follow the study guide that he gives you and look over the power point you will do well. I made an A in the class. Also you have 1 paper to write about different art work from the Appleton Museum. It was easy. Take him!

I took his World Civilizations I class online, it was super easy as long as you make sure to do the discussion questions and tests on time. Overall we didn't have to interact a lot with the professor. I would take him again.

I'm not that great at history classes, unless it's an art history class. Mr. Kirk helped me every time I had a question, replied really quickly (faster than my other teachers this term). I ended the term with a 89.5% and he was kind enough to bump it up to a 90%! I would absolutely take a class taught by him again.

Can't stress enough how nice Mr. Kirk is! Very easy going, and is one of those teachers that is a great guy outside of the classroom as well. He understands college life and doesn't give very much homework-maybe three papers total (AND THAT'S IT!) Brings in speakers for class, and gives extra credit. Take him if you can. He's literally SO NICE.

Work hard and take good notes, because there is only one test and the final. He has guest speakers that come in to discuss different religions, and expects you to write three different papers on three different religions. He offers extra credit opportunities so take advantage of them, no matter what your grade is! Overall, great teacher! :)

This professor is a great guy. I had him online for an honors credit. He will help you out when you need it. He is super cool. I would definitely suggest this professor. Makes the humanities interesting. For regular students, you don't have to write a paper. For me, I had to write a 6 page on a book of my choosing. It was simple. Take this prof.!!!

I took this class for Comparative Religions, and i'm glad I did. Prof. Kirk understands that us students have a billion things to do during the week and only asks for a few things. Come to class so you can get good notes, participate, and do the assignments. There are only two tests (midterm and final), and there are three short papers to write.

Took him for Comparative Religions. Planning on taking him for World Civilizations. His lectures are interesting. He speaks softly so you have to listen and pay attention to what he says. Doesn''t give out too many assignments. If you can take him for this class

This is an easy class. There were only 2 simple assignments, weekly discussion questions and 5 exams which the lowest score would be dropped. Study guides were given for every chapter, which made the class much easier. I took it through the summer and I would recommend him to those who need to take WOH class.

Very nice teacher and such an easy class. He provides study guide for each chapter which is the exact same thing on the test.I never opened my book for this class. He is over all a very nice teacher. I took him online during Summer B and rarely opened my book.
