Interesting man but most jokes are pessimistic. While he is funny, it can get tiring and sad after a while. Passionate and gives good lectures.

Comment:

This is one of the most boring classes you will take, but also one of the easiest classes. All you do is write a short paper about each play/film you watch and he is a very easy grader. Make sure you show up, if you have more than 3 absences, you will automatically drop a letter grade.

Comment:

Dr Kuester is such a great, funny, laid back guy. His classes are super easy. Just show up, watch the movies, and write the review paper. No test, no quizzes, and the final is take home. Attendance is important, but its worth it to listen to his lectures and hilarious stories. Highly recommend taking theatre with him!!!

Comment:

An incredibly knowledgeable professor. Show up, watch the movies, and you will pass. He is generally an easy grader with reaction papers, and is entertaining to listen to during lecture. Be respectful and do not talk to your friends during class.

Comment:

Dr. Kuester is one of the funniest teachers you'll ever have. The class I took of his was very easy, and I feel like I learned some things and bettered my public speaking skills. I haven't taken his other classes, but Speech is a good class for those wanting an easier course taught by a memorable instructor.

Comment:

I am very glad that I took Dr. Kuester for speech. He was so funny and made everyone feel comfortable, which is important in a class like that. We had to present about 5 speeches during the semester, including a group speech. Dr. Kuester was very good about answering any questions.

SUUUPER easy class. Lectures are all over the place and barely make sense. Don't even show up until he starts doing speeches. Make the tiniest of effort and pass.

Great teacher and even greater person. Helpful, caring, and fun. He has opened doors for me and given me opportunities to finish school. Without his help I would still be so far behind with classes. He also helped me develop a greater interest in theater.

I had a huge speech phobia coming into this class and Dr Kuester was very understanding. I did way better in this class than I expected. Barely used book, save your money!

Comment:

I had Dr. Kuester over the course of two semesters for Theater and Speech. Both of his classes were extremely easy. If you put at least a little effort into your assignments you will get a good grade. He talks a lot though and there isn't very much student interaction in the Theater class. Don't buy your books for these classes, you won't use them!

easy class, but having to write reviews all the time got a little annoying. either way, i would recommend this class. you'll probably get tired of him hating on his ex-wife though!

Dr. Kuester is a really great teacher. I took speech because I had to, but he made the class fun and I actually wanted to go to it! He is a really easy grader, all we did was 4 real speeches and a couple informal ones. If you have to take speech, take Kuester's class!
