He was the best teacher! I would highly recommend him. He grades very simple and the work is incredibly easy. He explains everything so well I dont know how anyone cannot understand the assignment. Take him you will learn a lot seriously.

he is the coolesthe is very nice in teachinghe is very systematic and wouldlike evrything to be in order. apart from that he isthe coolest professor he make the time in class be full of fun and he himself is very connected to his students. this man is nice take hime when you have the chance heiscool

I thought he was great and organized. His class is easy to pass, as long as you are willing to do your part and devote the time to it. Extremely friendly as well.

He is a great teacher, loves surfing, and explains everything clearly. Lots of class participation. You will learn a lot.

He is a great teacher. If you complete the assignments, read the material, complete the essays in the format that he wants it, and participate in class, you should do very well! At times, it is hard to know what he wants with some work but he alway answers the questions you may have.

Adam's a great guy who loves literature and writing. He's a bit flaky-more like a student than a professor sometimes-but once you get over that, he's a lot of fun to work with. The class is challenging with lots of writing on a tight schedule, so be prepared to work consistently throughout the semester.

Adam is a great teacher, ive taken him twice throught the year.At first it may seem as he asks alot from the students; however,it isnt anything you cant handle. Everything i learned in his class is stuck in my head esp. all of the options.

this class w/ him was a breeze... and fun at the same time. As long as you do your work, you will pass the class. He keeps it interesting, esp. with his textbook, which has some laughs in it.

he's alright if u do ur work,he is loud which is good but assigns too much work

HE WAS WAS AMAZINGLY EASY. Everyone who complained and still complains probably didn't do well in his class. He is very straight foward with his assignments and grades. If you don't understand something, he will clarify it for you. He is not mean, strict or stern. He is just disciplined. He runs a very fast paced class, so pay attention!

He's cool. Just follow his rules. He's not big on talking in his class, and he'll be the first to let you know. He However, is real big on showing everybody respect. I like him. He's genuine. He's understanding if you have a situation that prevents you from coming to class. If a mistake is made, just let him know and he'll fix it!

I loved him. I thought he was an amzing teacher, and extremely helpful with ways of writing. yeah there were some boring days but that's because it's english class, he's there to teach it, not entertain you. He was extremely nice. A bit of a fast mover.. pay attention in class!!

I took him a while back and I thought that he was a good teacher. He asks for a decent amount of homework, including several Essays. Very liberal, so don't bring up Bush if you want to leave early! He came late to class practically every day. Overall, an enjoyable class.

He's a good teacher. College involves work and he'll give it to you. I learn A LOT when it came to grammatical skills which I will be using for the rest of my life. He is very mature and keeps the class rolling. He makes sure you pay attention/participate. I have my final tomorrow and would like to shake his hand because hes got his stuff together

Surfing was a sick class. You will learn a lot about the sport (history, saftey, techniques, equipment) and there is no homework, just one project. If you attend all of the classes and the three field trips, its an easy A. There is a final, which I found to be pretty easy as well.

I HIGHLY recommend this class!! Professor is very helpful and not hard at all! He goes over quizzes and tests right before tests. A lot of easy works and some extra credits. Extra credits worth a lot of points!A lot of writing and blackboard assignments but they take only 20minutes to finish. I hate to work but I passed this class with high scores~

His class is really fun and enjoyable. He gives extra credit, and the reading is not to bad.

Really great teacher.

He was in awesome teacher surf was sooo much fun and he's really chill all you have to do is show up to the classes and trips take the swimming test and you get an A , take this class!

He was a good teacher. He always made the class entertaining and fun with all the talking and mingeling you do. There is alot of work, but it is easy. For the essays; he tells you EXACTLY how he wants them. You basically have to fill in the spaces. GET THE BOOKS! If you do the work and come to class you will pass.=)

OMG my favorite teacherr everrr! wow. i love this teacher, his class is amazingly easy and fun, he cares about attendence and u cant use ur phone, but wowww. everything was easyy. i recomend 1000000% i wanted to take him again but hes not teaching my class at valencia campus

I love to write, and Mr Kempler helped me to reign that in. Through his teaching methods, toughness on grading,and encouragement I excelled and came out with a B. He is tough but he is thorough.

He gives out at least 3hrs of hw daily. Although he does teach, he also gets sloppy at times. If your a guy don't miss his class because he tends to be more lenient towards girls, when it comes to missing assignments.

Professor Kempler is very strict with homework assignments; he gives the standard Carnegie Rule for homework. As long as you do your homework, you will pass his class. He does not allow phones in his class, and he always pairs up his students for in class assignments.

strict on completion of all work which is a alot. extremely boring.

He is a very helpful and knowledgeable man; he enjoys what he does and it shows!

Kempler lets everyone talk and listens to students. He likes literature. Lots of work, but you'll be fine if you keep up.

He i strict but a very good teacher. There's a decent amount of work in the class and the homework is basically what you learn within the day and can be done pretty easily and quickly if you paid attention. He loves what he does and helps students a lot. He's understanding for necessary absences though he can be a hard grader.Overall great teacher!

OMG. Talk about most ridiculous class ever. It was children's literature, and we were reading complex chapter books not even relevant to the subject. This class seems easy from the beginning, but isn't worth taking unless you're an English major. Kempler treats you like you're 4 years old. Group work every day.

Good teacher. Teaches u what u need to know to move on. I recommend him

I have never encountered a teacher that really cares like he does. Kempler is motivated to help his students succeed and is very understanding. Yes, it's an intense class, but you walk out with your head held high, knowing that you worked hard and learned. I recommend this class to those who want to discover what a love for English is all about.

He checks homework every class, which is a substantial load. He does group activity in every single class and expects everyone to participate. I really enjoyed him and this class! The homework takes time, but isn't hard at all. You just got to put in the effort. He's the best English teacher I've had in a very long time!

Some people complain because he makes you do a lot of group work, but I rather work with my classmates than listen to a lecture all day. It helped myself and my classmates feel comfortable with one another and we enjoyed class. He lets us discuss and relate to every topic we learned. He truly loves what he does and is awesome.

Professor Kempler was one of the best teachers I've ever had. He keeps the class moving very fast, everyone is required to participate. He really pushes you to succeed, and does a very good job at it. I wish he taught English 091 and English 101, I'd take him in a heartbeat. He does have a lot of homework, but it's easy. Great Teacher!

Gives a lot of unnecessary homework and he just keeps having us take tests on the options which I find pointless. Overall i didn't like this teacher. I recommend looking for another english 81 teacher

I love Professor Kempler! had him for English 071 and 081 and passed with an A. All you have to do is DO the work, and its so easy too. you have to particapate and he'll love you! learn all the sentence combining options and he will forsure love you! Such an easy A

overall loved the class. I think he was the best english teacher that I had overall. He provides a lot of work/ group work, but its nothing hard everything is doable even if your a little lazy i get lazy towards the end and i could of gotten a B+ but i missed the last essay and got a c+ i recommend this class.

i took him for english 81 and i dropped out because all he does is his job he doesnt seems like he cares and he seem like he hated everyone and his face was always so serious dont take his class you wont like him

Kempler is one of the best English teachers ive had. Yes, its a lot of work but it is EASY work. So many people fail his class because they put no effort. He is clear on all assignments and as long as you do them you get an A. Kind of a hard essay greater though. No midterm nor final. You learn a lot with kempler and cares for students success.

I took Kempler for 096 and he was one of the best English teachers I have had. Yes he can be difficult at times, but he really does care about his students. Everything I learned in his class I use almost in everyday when I write. Just make sure to do the homework and participate in class!! Take Kempler for English! You won't regret it.

Kempler is the best English teacher I have ever had! You will not regret taking his class. He truly does care about his students. He can be a little difficult at times, but he is truly the best!

This class requires a lot of work and time, but at the end it'll be worth it. You'll learn a lot of useful and interesting information that will help you throughout life. Highly recommended.

I took Kempler for English 096. It was a tough class believe me, but you do learn a lot from him. Kempler made me a better writer. It's a lot of work but if you keep up with it you will get a good grade.

It's a lot of work but if you keep up with it you will get a good grade. Take the teacher if you want a challenge and you want to actually learn. If you are looking for a wing it class, this is not the class.

He does not waste any time in class! I never got good grades in English, but I got an A in his class. He helped me improve so much. I still use what he taught me today. He will push you to work hard, but he is the best teacher I have ever had! He's very strict but if you do all the work, participate & go to his office hours you'll get a good grade

Kempler was the greatest professor I've had. Gave students the chance to work together often and was truly there for his students. It is a lot of work but none of it was difficult.

He is a very strict professor but still understanding. I wouldn't recommend him for students who want an easy class because he is NOT easy. I recommend him to students who want to gain reading and writing skills. I took him for two semesters and received an A each time. Be organized and prepared for EVERY class. He will make you work hard.

Learned a lot. We read some inspiring stories. Would recommend him to anyone who wants to learn. Don't take him if you want an easy A. Good sense of humor. Most handsome professor I've taken so far. 5 Hot Chili Peppers!

Assigns a lot of work for what I think should be a simple english class. Time spent doing assigned work, about 50%. Quiz every class. You have to buy around 4 books. Tells you that you NEED to purchase and not rent, but later accepts rentals, my advice, just rent. a lot of annotation. Not an easy A. You WILL need to work hard for this class.

Love him!!! He's the best He made me love reading and school Thank you !!!!

Kemlper is a great teacher. If you have a problem with reading and writing, I would take him. He gives great feedback and allows you to prefect your writing through a system that he perfected. If you're just wanting to take a class to receive an easy A, I would not take him. If you do take him, make sure his class is top priority! Or you wont pass!

Very good teacher. Attendance is important. Clear on what he wants. Easy grader. Make sure you read! Midterm and final are incredibly easy. Worst part is memorizing flashcards.

Great English teacher , very inspirational . He gives a lot of work , but as long as you stay on top of your assignments and homework , you will do just fine . I would definetely take him again.

For 96, you are required to buy multiple books(5 or 6). Every class there a quiz you have to take from your readings. Besides reading books you have to print out articles and read them. He grades essays really easily, as long as you get to the point. If you are a creative writer this most likely is not the professor you want to take.

Good teacher, lots of work but if you stay on top of it you will pass with an A

You will learn a lot and be given lots of help throughout the semester. All of the readings are very interesting and relatable.3 essays are given and he gives you a chance to have them peer edited and edited by the TLC before turning the final essay in. Classes got repetitive, but there were no surprises. He was very organized and always on time.

Love kempler, makes you work hard for the grade you deserve. Gives great inspirational lectures. Loved his class and would forsure retake his class. He's an amazing teacher.

Learn a lot of things great class to learn from

Best Teacher.

Kempler was one of the best professors Ive had here at College of the Canyons. He helped me improve my reading and writing skills soo much!! It will be an easy A or B as long as you take your materials with you every class meeting. Attendance is also very important because there is something new to do every time; so dont miss out! 10/10 class!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED PROFESSOR KEMPLER! He is not a tough grader; however, he has clear expectations. WELCOME TO COLLEGE!! He will not spoon feed you, you want an A then you have to work for it. If you're looking for an easy A, he is not the professor to take. However, if you want to improve your writing and get a real taste of college, take him!

Pretty easy class, just stay on top of the homework, and do the readings. Show up to class everyday because you don't know what quiz will be graded. You will learn a lot about structuring an essay, and how to work on run-on sentence. He is a tough grader on the essays, because he is very particular on what he wants! Improves your writing for sure!

This was the hardest class I took that semester, even though I was also taking three STEM classes. There is a lot of homework, and he grades tough. I did end up learning a lot from his class; although I had to work for it. he is extremely strict with his rules and will call you out if you break them. Good material, hard class.

This class really does have a LOT of homework. Make sure you stay caught up on the reading annotations and journals or it will hurt your grade. Be prepared for a five minute writing quiz about the reading at the start of each class. He's a tough grader but you really learn a lot. I'm definitely a better writer after taking his English 103 class.

He isn't as hard as people say he is. If you follow his instructions and regularly check his notifications that he sends online then you'll be fine. Also, make sure you always bring all your materials and books to every class.

I learned more in Kempler's class than all my other English classes combined.

Kempler helps you improve in reading and writing. You will learn a lot.

Do the work, pass the class.

Kempler is a great teacher. If you want to learn and enjoy class, take him.

Professor Kempler taught us how to improve our thinking and writing skills. You will learn a lot and have fun.

I took this class over summer and it was one of the best classes I've ever taken. You will learn a lot from the books you read during this class and the information you learn will make you look forward to the readings and assignments. Do your work, follow instructions, and participate and you'll get an A. Highly recommend!

Honestly, I'm not sure what my thoughts are for this class. Professor Kempler is a very strict teacher, and he's not afraid to call someone out in an announcement just because he didn't like something that they did. Be that as it may, I still learned a lot in this course, and I wouldn't consider it to be a waste of time.

If you don't understand something, he will make sure to touch upon the subject again. This class has a lot of work that goes into it, but it's not hard. It should be easy to get an A or B. Because my class was online, he dropped students who missed 3 assignments. This might discourage you, but it was very helpful towards my procrastination issue.

You will learn more in Kempler's class than in any other. He prepares you for success at a university.

Bruh, I have taken this English class during the winter semester it was so fudging amazing being in his class. His lectures are very clear, he helps out his student, and he is caring. Don't listen to the other comments about this professor (They're lazy people). Just do your work consistently and you will get an A. Essay feedbacks are very clear.

there is a very heave work load, but overall, easy class

TAKE THIS CLASS. Professor Kempler is a very well-rounded English teacher. English class is meant to develop your reading, writing, and critical thinking skills and this class nails that 100%. The at-home study is about 2 times the hours of class (exactly as COC asks you to assume). This class isn't "easy" but you'd be hard set to find a better one

I took Kempler for the 2022 Spring Semester for English 101 after I failed a previous 101 class. This was a big change from the class I took before. Kempler gives out lots of work, but if you manage your time wisely, you will be fine. Additionally, he also has office hours which I really recommend going to. Just keep up on work and you will be ok.

I honestly really liked the material in this course but I understand why many people don't like him. Especially for first year students, his class can get pretty overwhelming. He expects you to buy I think 5 or 6 books and annotate all of them.

Professor Kempler was amazing, although there were a lot of reading assignments in which were mandatory to read I learned a lot and you get to really learn how to better understand a book as well as write an essay. Attendance is required and their is a lot of partner paired assignments so get ready to move around and discuss the reading!

There is a lot of work, but you genuinely learn from him. After every class you have to read a chapter or chapters of the current book your reading; there are four books that you will read when reading you'll have to highlight and write at least one thing on each page. This teaches you how to annotate and read while critically thinking. ESSAYS to.

Kempler is a great at teaching; out of all my classes, I learned the most from his. I loved the book discussions in class. I admit the homework is a lot to balance. I spent around 10 hours/week on homework for his class because of the reading, annotating, journal writing, and essay writing. He is actually very understanding if you talk to him :).

Great professor. Learned a lot.

Professor Kempler is an exceptionally dedicated instructor. My critical reading and expository writing skills improved greatly. His feedback was invaluable to my development as a writer, and my essays are much more polished now. If you are looking for a high-quality professor who will impact your writing mechanics, take his course!

Professor Kempler's class is challenging but rewarding. The workload is heavy, with extensive reading, annotating, and essay writing. However, I found his feedback invaluable for improving my critical thinking and writing skills. unstuck AI was a helpful study tool alongside the required textbook.

Truthfully, anyone can pass this class. The workload can get a little overwhelming at times but as long as you create a good schedule you will be fine. He could be a bit more understanding when it comes to absences, but overall he's pretty caring and wants you to succeed in his class. Intimidating but creates a great class atmosphere.

English is not my best subject, but I passed with a A! Very hard course; multiple hours of homework a night. I learned a lot and walked out of that class feeling a lot smarter! If you want to push yourself, take his class!

His class taught me to write well. Everything he taught has stuck with me. Kempler is one of those professors who is really strict, but you somehow end up having a good time anyway. You have a small quiz at the beginning of each class, and the prompt can be very specific! Also, all quizzes and other assignments are timed (strictly).

I wouldn't call him strict, but he's VERY thorough. If you follow his directions accordingly, you will have no problem passing his class. He assigns a lot of work, but it is manageable. He can be a little intimidating but from my experience, he just wants to his students to put in the work to succeed.

The previous students rating this professor need to put their emotions to the side. This isn't high school. This professor is teaching at a college level that majority of the students need to understand. The professor is very thorough and gives detailed instructions about the assignments.

An incredibly well-structured class. I learned so much about writing, annotating, and journaling, and really appreciated the professor's flexibility with time zones. The readings were interesting, and the skills I gained will stay with me. Highly recommend this course to anyone looking to strengthen their English!

Anyone who complains about this professor, yall will have trouble getting a real job. Put on your big boy pants and stop complaining. Read the books, listen to instructions and stop complaining. Stop being babies. This is a college level class. Yall are soft literally.

He is serious but a good professor. Once essays are graded, they must be fixed according to his comments-wants you to absolutely perfect it. Lots of terms to memorize. 3-4 reading books must be purchased new not pre owned. Books are fascinating reads, has high expectations but with enough studying and work in, an A is definitely achievable.

He is an overall good professor! His teachings are very beneficial and interesting. Although, he is strict on his format and assigns lots of readings and hw. I'm glad I took the class but would not take it again if I had the choice to.

Professor Kempler is a tough grader; however his rubrics clearly show what he is looking for. For one essay we did multiple drafts, and by the final draft you were a better writer. The work load is heavy; however, you will grow by doing the work. During his office hours he was willing to help. All of the reading and essays have changed me for good.

I really respected how consistent and structured his classes were. The expectations can be challenging for some students, but they teach personal responsibility. His course prepares students for real life while emphasizing empathy and resilience. One of the most impactful professors you'll have if you put in the effort and stay accountable.

His course prepares students for real life by emphasizing empathy, resilience, and accountability through meaningful assignments. Complaints about difficulty usually reflect effort, not unfairness. The work you put into this class directly mirrors the results you'll get, just like in the real world. Expect a minimum of 2 hrs of HW a day to get an A
