Professor Kingston is an awesome teacher. He uses lots of examples to help his students remember the concepts, because there are so so many. He's sharp and works hard to help his students understand the material. He is very accessible for office hours. He is very kind and wants to see his students do well.

Comment:

Game Theory may not be the easiest subject to learn, but Kingston does a great job at explaining it and is extremely helpful outside of class to go over problems or even material you did not grasp in class. One of the most dedicated professors I have had at this school. Would definitely take again.

An awesome teacher, an awesome class: Very clear, very good at explaining and willing to take extra time. We kept him an hour over office hours the day before the last problem set was due, and he still thanked ME for coming...Also a very sweet guy.

Awesome professor, always willing to help outside of class, but be ready to work your butt off and get a D or F on the final (the median is around a 50%). He's great!
