Dr. K is the absolute best teacher! He is very helpful, down to earth, and sincerely wants his students to do well. The only people that find him difficult are those that are lazy and want to do nothing. Hello, this is college, you have to study! Dr. K is always there to help and all of his courses really prepare you for the future.

Comment:

Dr. K is the most amazing profs. ever. The only people who dont like him are the slackers who dont go to class or try. His notes are power point so you can easily print them off. If you go to class and do the homework and study its an easy A. If you are sturggling he provides review sessions and provides tutors ontop of his office hours.

Comment:

This teacher is great! the only issue that ppl have w/ him is that he makes you think, he wont just give the answer to you.u have to STUDY, gettin in a study group makes it better, but the tests are difficult, ONLY if u dont know the material well.He's willing to help anyone as long as ur willing to help yourself.his sense of humor is off the wall!

Comment:

Dr. K is excellent. It seems that the only people who do not like him are girls and people who are too sensitive (some find him belittling but these are just jokes). He is a hard teacher, but enjoys his work and is helpful outside of class. Take none of his comments seriously and you will enjoy his class.

He didnt explain his lectures very well. He just went over whatever was in the book in his powerpoint and expects you to know whats goin on. Horrible professor try to avoid getting him if you can.

Comment:

This professor is the worst I've had at Coastal. He flies through the material and thinks he is actually teaching something when he runs through 50 powerpoint slides in 15 minutes. The tests are impossible. Don't take Koesterer at all costs.

Comment:

This teacher is nuts, he goes through like 1 chapter and a half in one class. He gives unclear homework and his tests are rediculously hard. I dont not recommend him at all. You wont learn a thing unless you plan on studying this class 24/7.

Comment:

I know this is supposed to be a 'historically' difficult class, but this is outragous! He speeds though his chapters/lessons and expects us to think critically. Recommended for feshmen to allow a slap in the face to reality about classes.

Comment:

He was ridiculous, the labs never worked and aside from constantly belittling students, his interactions with those whom he liked were usually about such activities as fishing and drinking. I would not recommend the class or professor to anyone who can avoid either. I was excited about the class until I took it and learned nothing.

Comment:

Doctor K. Is the best teacher at coastal. He is always eager to help you and the test come straight off of the power points. How simple is that. I had him for this and entemology and by far these are my favorite classes i've taken at Coastal.
