Comment:

Hs is the BEST prof in QCC just like how others say. You need to work a lot in his class since it's philosophy (a lot of reading and writing) but his lecture is amazing. He has a strong power in his speech and I really enjoyed his lecture and I'm really sad about how I can't speak to him again (transferred, and QCC is closed because of Covid-19).

I actually took Kincaid a couple years ago but throughout my college career I clearly remember the things he taught me and how I understand and question things in life. He's a great professor and I wish I could take him again in a heartbeat. Philosophy as we know is a mine field and can be incredibly diffilcult but he makes it fun.

Prof. Kincaid no wait Dr. Kincaid he's very deserving of his title. He has been my on going support throughout this semester with his kind words pushing me ahead. COVID-19 was a struggle but he always made the class fun with his podcasts and he is an Easy A. The classes were thoroughly explained and he gives study guides in the syllabus to hep us.

Professor Kincaid is one of the BEST professors I've had at QCC. He is amazing, the work in his class is EASY being that there only two exams ( one midterm & a final ) and a 10 page paper based on a topic YOU choose. Prof Kincaid is very helpful when it comes to your paper and the lectures are outstanding! left that class feeling brand new !!

ATTENDANCE IS A MUST!! Anyway aside from that, phenomenal teacher to be honest. His lectures are full of meaningful lessons. He has loads of stories to tell. His writings on the board are all over the place so be prepared to organize YOUR notes. Tests are exactly like the study guides. Very interesting class to take and view the world differently.

My favorite professor at QCC. He is a very intelligent, easy-going person, who tells lots of funny stories. He made the class super interesting just from him being the one teaching it. He will always help you when you need it. Class was always a pleasure. Two exams-one final paper. If you create a draft, he will review it and make corrections.

Hands down the best professor I've ever had, I truly respect this man and the work that he does. He is the only professor whose class I didn't want to miss. He made the lectures super understandable and enjoyable, each lesson was one to remember. He is very clear about what he will test you on and what to study. Wish I could take more classes w/

Hands down the best professor i have had in QCC. He creates a great atmosphere and really gets you to think outside of the box. He is clear with his grading system. He is very understanding so dont be afraid to ask questions. I took his Intro to Philosophy and Ethics class. Highly recommend!

Had Professor Kincaid my last semester at QCC. He was the best professor I've ever had. Super funny and actually makes Philosophy interesting. It will seem like a lot when you look over the syllabus but he does a great job of explaining it and going over it with you day by day. He reviews information so many times that it sticks. Amazing guy!!

Comment:

Professor kincaid was amazing and he's super quirky. He is a bit tough because his reviews for the tests are only based on what questions the class can ask, not a sheet. His 10 page paper may seem like a lot at first but he tries to break it up into parts so it doesn't hit you all at once and is always willing to go over it with you.

Professor Kincaid is the nicest professor I've ever met. Super chill guy. He makes the class laugh almost every single day. His tests are fairly tough but with the lectures and book its a breeze. Id recommend recording the lectures to keep the info. In the end, he gave a 10 pg term paper but he is so kind and always ready to help. Super awesome guy

Dr. Kincaid is hands down the best professor in QCC. He really really does care about his students and does everything he can to help you. There is a midterm, final and an essay. The essay is so easy, he will help you with it whenever (just ask!) He doesn't use powerpoints, but his lectures are seriously so funny and interesting. Love him!!

I took this class because I registered late, PHIL wasnt my first option. The professor is nice, also funny. Hes goes off topic a lot its hard to keep up with the subject of the class. The class isnt boring but the subject is so hard. You have to read; no exceptions. Everything taught is class is about the reading. No PowerPoint slides.

Please pay attention in his class he is truly a gem of a person. I can not express enough to be open minded in everything he says. Class is difficult if you don't read the texts that should be apparent simply by it being philosophy. I was always excited to attend class. I would love to keep in contact with him.

Professor Kincaid is hands down the best professor I've had in my college career. His lectures are really good as he uses his funny life stories as analogies to his topics. He's bright, intelligent, and caring. If you watched the show "Frasier" he kinda resembles "Niles Crane." Tests are easy if you put in the work but nothing too hard. Don't wait!
