Comment:
Good class. Mainly weekly quizzes and a few major tests -- power points really help but you'll also need the textbook. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE reading the Sand County Almanac -- questions are SUPER specific and hard. Gives extra credit and quizzes are hard to get wrong if you try. Very manageable for an online class. Appreciated the material.

This course was really difficult and I definitely had to commit time to studying. Not a course to take lightly, but if you're a wildlife conservation major then you should definitely try to comprehend the concepts in the course.

Comment:
His lectures were clear and interesting. He also uses his good sense of humor and active learning strategies to keep your attention during the long class. I would have preferred that the class was split up to be more frequent and shorter (like normal classes are) because I did not feel like we went into as much depth as I would of liked.

Comment:
I was really disappointing in Dr. K. I heard a lot of great things about him, but he only taught 1 out of every 4 chapters we had to read. I was really excited to learn about ecology, but I think I learn more watching BBC nature shows. Exams were ok, all I did was read the night before and of course now I don't remember anything.

Comment:
I liked his online evolution graduate class and learned tremendously. Very significant writing occurs as well as a research paper. The only problem is multiple choice quizzes for every chapter. I believe a graduate class should involve less of that multiple choice and more of the important and significant learning. I recommend this professor!

Comment:
Took Behavior and Conservation (graduate level) course and was disappointed by the amount of work required. The class consisted of weekly 5 page papers discussing the chapter and supplemental reading assigned. In addition to, weekly chapter test, a mid term, comprehensive final, and a 10 page article review. Ridiculous amount of work!!!

this is a great teacher with a witty sense of humour! he gives detailed notes almost each class, but sometimes you will just watch a film. DON'T BUY A BOOK!! he doesn't use one. his tests are straight from the notes and fairly difficult, so go to class and STUDY!

Comment:
Took a capstone class called Our Endangered Planet. It has to be the easiest capstone offered. All we did was watch movies all the time. The movies were pretty depressing, but you get used to it. I think we had to write two 6-8 page papers that were easy. We had to write a ten sentence journal every week, which you could write about anything you have talked about in class. He does give a lot of reading assignments, which you will be quizzed over, but they were all true/false.

He is a great teacher. A little nerdy and likes to laugh at his own jokes, but he is still a great teacher and is very approachable.

Dr. K is very funny and an easy going kind of guy.He always tries to make the class funny so that you can have a good time in class.He is very helpful, if you just go to him for help, he would do anything for you. He has been one of my greatest profs.

If you study you will pass. However, if you are not doing so well and ask for help he will help. But don't be mistaken to think because you asked for help that you will pass, he does not take this into consideration.
