Comment:

I would absolutely not recommend Kiser, he is a very degrading and outspoken liberal. He would argue with a brick wall and refuses to see any other side but his own. He doesn't use technology so it takes forever to get grades back. He assigns a lot of papers and changes his mind daily so beware. I would definitely not take his class ever again.

Comment:

Kiser is old school and that seems to be most people's complaints. He doesn't email or use blackboard. However, he only gives A's or B's. He can be very degrading towards women and talks without a filter. Overall, he's funny and kept us on our toes. There's no telling what he'll say next. Attendance required. Start a group me with your classmates.

Hands down one of the most degrading, awful, opinionated liberal professors you will ever meet. Bashes men and woman for everything. If I didn't need the credit I would drop this class.

Comment:

I love Kiser! He is so great at lectures and you can tell he really loves his job. As long as you show up, the class is really easy. You don't really have to take notes, just show up to class and listen. There are a lot of writing assignments, but there short and easy. He doesn't have strict due dates, and only gives As and Bs in the class.

Comment:

Great deal of reading - bulk of assignments are article critiques and gems. Dr. Kiser does not have hard due dates but DO NOT get behind. This class was challenging but absolutely worth it. Midterm and final were both take home. Quality is important so don't skimp. For every absence after 4 or 5, you have to do an extra critique.

Comment:

Easy professor; however, be prepared for TONS of reading and writing assignments (no joke). 4+ absences = more papers to write. Overall though, very interesting and eye-opening class. Discussions are great if the class participates. You'll learn and get a lot out of the class if you pay attention and participate in discussions.

Comment:

Dr. Kiser tries really hard, but is completely not up on distance learning/technology. While I don't care about this in general, it makes it where it takes a long time to get any grades back on assignments. Also, he makes LOTS of assignments. I like him & his class and appreciate his enthusiasm, but the amount of reading has been oppressing.

I love Kiser. I've taken both of his classes and would talk more if they were offered. Kiser likes to push your limits and make you think. Tons of readings and assignments, but these classes are definitely worth taking!! By far my favorite classes I have ever taken!

Kiser is great! Old professor that likes to push your limits. He is extremely entertaining! There is alot of reading and paper writing in the course, but he is a very easy grader. He just asks you to speak your mind. Loved this class. Would definitely take more of his!!

Comment:

Dr kisers materErial was pragmatic and contemporary. It is life altering. When faced with an opportunity tO put to pragmatic use of public policy, he maniFested himself as Little more than a narcissistic coward when the future of a helpless child was at stake. Practice what you preach especially when your salary comes from public funding

Loved this Class! Would take classes with this professor again, but he is primarily teaching at another campus now. Might be worth it the 1.5 hour commute!

Be prepared for a LOT O" READING AND PAPER WRITING. The subject was of course interesting and Kiser tends to be a VERY CLOSE talker so sit somewhere in the middle. Otherwise he is a very good teacher.

Years later (and I do mean ... YEARS), I still refer to some of the incredible debates that were had in his class. So many of his theories were/are enlightening. He is honestly one of the best professors I have had in my undergraduate and graduate career!

I'm a lesbian, and I'm taking his male/female relationship class, and I enjoy it! Amusing prof, liberal but open about that on day one--makes it very obvious to people that aren't that they may not enjoy the class, and should probably drop it!
