Comment:

End of an era. Mr. Kohler is going to retire this semester and I am upset. He is very kind but can seem rude at most times. He will criticize your work to the point where it can be embarrassing. He was very down to earth and very inspiring and he has so much advice to give!

Comment:

Professor Kohler is a JOKE! I'm surprised he is allowed to teach. He has never graded any assignments on times, he never uploads the weeks assignment on time, and when you email him to confirm something, he is vague and gives a half-assed response. It enrages me that he put so little care into our course.

Amazing professor. Assignments took a bit and the due dates would be all over the place. Write down lecture notes for blackboard quizzes which are challenging. Final project for finals grade was fun and not difficult.

Comment:

Mr. Kohler is a wonderful professor and it is clear that he loves his job. He is very enthusiastic and truly wants his students to learn. There is some group work but the assignments were fair. He extended the due date for a paper because of midterms and students were stressed. He is very knowledgeable and approachable. Great guy, take his class!

Comment:

Took his class and he is the most overrated business professor at UIC . Doesn't post grades until 3 weeks before the semester ends. Gotta hound him to know where you're standing, I did that and realized that I wasn't one to mess with. For every assignment that's not graded, hound him til he puts it in. Put him in his place and he'll cooperate.

Had him sophomore year. His lectures do help you get an idea what to expect later on the real business world. His comments on the memos are really helpful. The only thing I hated was filming a video for the personal website.

Comment:

He's a cool guy. Very non-academic which is what I like about him. Can be nit-picky in grading if he grades your assignment. My only gripe is that I wish he was a little more organized and that he graded the assignments promptly so that we can have some feedback. You'll have no idea what your precise grade is the whole semester. But I like him!

Comment:

Professor Kohler is unlike any other professor I have come across. The class is quite intensive but that is only because he really knows his stuff and wants to pass that knowledge on to this students. I thoroughly enjoyed taking the course with him! He is kind, funny, helpful, and so much more.

Comment:

Kohler was definitely one of my favorite professors. Take him if you get the chance. This is a class that you'll actually get something out of. I learned about writing and business speaking -- and about life, in general. Great guy and if you put in the effort you will do well.

He's a really great professor. My writing improved from day one. I learned so much from him, not only about writing, but also life lessons. Take his class because you'll learn more than just writing tips.

Professor Kohler is the best teacher I've had so far. If you take him, you WILL become a better writer. He loves to push his students passive aggressively to get better. Very kind and motivational guy.

He is a good professor, and if you wanna learn how to write take him. But he is a super hard grader and nitpicks a lot. Was not the biggest fan of him, but he is a nice guy.

Comment:

By far the best Professor I have taken in college!! (I'm a senior) He pushes you to improve your writing for a business setting. He is an amazing person! He makes class interesting, will make you laugh and will be there for advice. People who complain about their grade must have earned it, he teaches business writing not composition 101! Take him!
