Probably my all-time fav professor. He'll give you an extension on your paper if you really need it and is overall a really nice guy. Can be hard to get in contact with out of class, but he usually has his number on the syllabus.

Comment:

The class is a lot of fun because you get to watch the show and then talk about it in groups. The set up is really laid back. There are a couple papers, but they aren't anything to stress about. He grades pretty easy. The only thing is that he tends to overshare and that could scare off some students. He is kind of hard to get ahold of after class.

I took Philosophy of the Twilight Zone and it was my favorite class that semester. The class was obviously focused on making you think and communicate ideas than write, but there were a few papers throughout the semester. Kevin definitely cares about students and got to know each of us through discussion. Just. Awesome.

Comment:

Kevin's class is one of my favorites. He makes class really fun by his hilarious comments and big personality. He really makes you think about the topics ans ideas in class. He wants everyone of his students to do well and he shows it. The two things that were difficult are the essays and having to deep think about situations and scenarios.

Dr. Bolinger will test the way you think about life, which is the point of the class. At times this can become discouraging but he knows when to stop. He is an easy grader and there aren't many papers. He cares about his students and is passionate about what he is teaching.

Comment:

Watched TV series Lost. 3 papers throughout the semester that are 5 pages long about 2 chapter books of your choice. Not hard if you read them, pay attention in class, and have good writing style. No textbook, just Netflix account, and material for papers and final discussed after watching episodes in class. Very easy class and laid back prof.

Dr. Bolinger was a great professor and his class was very interesting and fun. If you have to take a 201 honors class, definitely take this one. There are two papers and a test but other than that, you get to watch the show Lost. Loved this class.

I loved his Philosophy of the Twilight Zone class. There aren't many assignments, and the class is all discussion based. Dr. Bolinger is also hilarious, so its super easy to pay attention.

Very interesting class. It was based on the "Lost" television series. Our homework was watching Lost episodes. We had 2 papers, a few online discussions, and a final. Very easy, very interesting. Take it! :)

He is a really cool guy. Although he thinks his opinion is the best one, he is a very knowledgeable person. A LOT easier professor to take for 259 than Dr. Nail. Will actually only give you the material you need and not pointless busy work.
