Worst professor ever. He was totally rude to students in class. Make sure you read before class AND have opinions/comments about EVERYthing. He also picks favorites.

Awesome Professor. Always had time for students. Loved it when he dressed in character for lectures. Fair but definitely expects a student to work hard and learn!

Comment:

Kevin was going through what could only have been a mid-life crisis when I had him in the late 1980s. He was impetuous, condescending, & often unprepared. Blamed students for his failings, lashed out frequently. I hope things got better for him in time

Kevin is da bomb! Honestly, one of my favorite profs at GAC: a nice, understanding guy (not so much a stickler for deadlines!). He's hilarious in class. Do your homework or he'll make fun of you, but try to take his classes if possible! (Sabbatical 03-04)

After having him for a few classes, I've come to like Kevin. He expects his students to come prepared and engage in intelligent conversation, but he is also very fair and willing to listen to alternative viewpoints. Also just an all around nice guy.

This man is awesome. He's been here forever, and knows his stuff. In survey classes, he'll come dressed up to give a lecture. Expects a lot of students in discussion based classes, but is very thought provoking. Favorite Professor at GAC.
