very helpful and a great guy, I benefited from having him

Very nice, helpful, treats students with respect.

Good prof. doesn't post notes for lecture until an hour before class. Pretty clear and makes things easy to understand. Wants students to learn the information.

Good Prof. he is very helpful 1 on 1. Tests are kind of tricky, you have to study! Expectations for lab reports are like writing for the president, every word and sentence has to be perfect!

Very helpful and willing to devote time to students. He's a great professor. And funny too!

He's very good at keeping your attention. Not boring and had a sense of humor. Tests are not too bad as long as you go over your notes.

Very hard class for only one credit. Fun lab but the reports kill you and the test and quizzes aren't the easiest either; but a very nice guy and he keeps it entertaining.

Very nice lectures, you learn a lot. Tests are very difficult, you can't just cram before the exam. You must know how to apply the information. Fun class though!

Professor Kipp is a very straighforward prof. His exams are right from the notes; and he's good at keeping your attention.

Good teacher, this class was easy, just study notes a couple hours before the test, DONT buy the book, I never opened it and got an A

This lab sucks just to warn you, so much work for 1 credit. Kipp is a very nice and helpful prof. to have though.

The best prof I have ever had! He is funny and keeps your interest and is great at making sure you understand the info. I am definately taking him again. Study notes and you will do fine!

Dr. Kipp is a great guy to have for this lab. His explanations are always clear, and he makes his guidelines for lab reports very clear as well. His pre-lab lectures never take too long and he seems genuinely interested in students' progress. Got an A!

Remember as much as possible all details. Don't wait to study right before exam.

Dr. Kipp is awesome as a lab instructor! He explains everything clearly and in a concise manner, and he's a funny, nice guy that makes having to be there at 2 o'clock on a Friday afternoon bearable.

Dr. Kipp is awesome! He's such a nice guy. Lectures are fun, and very informative. Pathophys is super cool. the exams are difficult, but if you keep up with studying, they're not so bad. watch out fot that kidney section though, it's a killer. =)

Dr. Kipp is great! Very nice and his lectures are in plain english. A word of warning though - he only gives out 4 tests, and that is your grade - no homework, no extra credit, no curve so be sure to study and pay close attention to his slides - any detail can be on the test. Posts grades quickly

Great Prof. You will EARN your grade. Take notes and STUDY what he tells you, and you'll be fine. Won't hand you an "A"

Great lab and great professor! He is not a push over, but he is willing to help you to understand the material. He is a great lecturer, he uses understandable English in his lectures. I am looking forward to taking a coarse with him again.

Very nice, helpful, and fair prof. Tests are kinda hard, but not to bad.

I loved going to Patho until the last two weeks of class. Dr. Kipp was clear, and his tests hard but fair. For the last exam, though, he went bonkers, assigning us way too much and jumping all over the place.

Tests can be difficult. DONT GET BEHIND! If you keep up with studying and the work, you can do well. You don't really need the book, he makes a note pack for the class. Nice guy, interesting lectures.

A sincerely kind and helpful prof. Willing to help students out and change things around (such as test dates). Made class interesting. Tests are MC and not too hard at all. I could've done better in this class if I wasn't so concentrated on Nutrition w/ Nizielski!

hated physiology w/ diff prof, loved pathophys with kipp! he is very straightforward and knowledgable. Not an easy class, but kipp was great for it.

Professor Kipp is such a great guy. Always willing to help, and such a hunk!

Beware of exams...doesn't matter how much you study! Doesn't respond to emails. But listens to your arguments over questions on test - possible to raise grade this way.

I had Kipp for both BMS 290 and 310. He's a real nice guy, always willing to help. If you study his note pack then his tests are a piece of cake. With that said you dont really need to buy the book unless you wish to have it as a reference.

Prof. Kipp has a lot of interesting things to say and although he does just read off the lecture notes that he sends to you, all the questions on the tests come straight out of the lecture. And he answers ANY questions asked in class. Great prof. I would take him again in a heartbeat ;)

Professor Kipp was a nice guy, funny, and answered any questions you ask in class. However, he just reads off the lecture notes that he posts on Blackboard, so you really don't have to go to class. It would have been better if he did something interactive with the lecture notes because you can just read them yourself and do fine on the test.

very helpful

Nice, funny guy. Made the class interesting. He tries to scare you on the first day by saying its hard. The first few exams were easy but after midterms start studying because for some reason they get harder. With such a large class, he doesn't take attendance but it tends to hurt you if you don't go to class. Good guy. Take him. Make sure to read!

Well, 290 is just hard, but Kipp makes it easy to understand. His notebook helps with study, but reading the book is pretty much essential! He's very good at explaining concepts, but his office hours were always packed with people. Overall great prof for this class!

This class wasn't my favorite, but I found it interesting. Dr kipp is good lecturer and has a great sense of humor. You do have to study. Wouldn't buy the book, note pack a must!

Great prof for capstone--only have to come to class a few times all semester, which is great if your class is at 8:30am! Only have to write one 20 page paper all semester. He's pretty helpful with comments and helping you make it good. Pretty much everyone in my class got an A! Take him for 495!

Really good prof for this lab.he expects you to pay attention and can get a little bit like a 4th grade teacher if you don't. Will help and not make you feel stupid for asking, which counts for a lot.

I didn't do quite as well as I wanted to, but that had nothing to do with Kipp. His tests are very hard though.. This class is not easy!! He is a good professor and is always willing to help if you come to his office hours or shoot him an e-mail.

Prof. Kipp is a nice guy... It is really easy to relate with him. The only downside would be his exams. Some of the question/ answer choices are awkward at best. There is a stiff grading scale but it isn't impossible to get an A. I'm not upset I had him for class, the lectures are pretty enjoyable and he has a good sense of humor.

I know that a lot of people have a tendency to bad mouth DR Kipp (emphasis on DR), but I will tell you that I honestly enjoyed his class. His teaching method is straight forward. Everything that he teaches falls in line and nicely to complement the book. Dr. Kipp was also my professor for the second set of A&P and both labs

Dr. Kipp is far from intimidating. The problem is people don't necessarily appreciate the grades they receive which determines how much they like a prof. I had him for 3 courses and received A's all the way. He is very helpful...just ask him!

He's a hard tester, but if you go to office hours he really wants to help you understand the information, and to help you succeed. Reading the books helps a ton. He's a good prof.

Honestly, attendance was not necessary. Exam quetions were essentially right from the power points - and if that isn't clear enough, he makes those directly from the book. I definitely suggest him for 202!

Not one of my favorite proffessors, No way of really getting around taking him for 251. He's ok. Definitely a little unorganized and scattered. Tests weren't really hard but studying the powerpoints is the way to go.

Super nice. genuinely is there to help you and assist you in learning the material! i really enjoyed going to his lectures! very nice!

He is an awesome teacher! He gives great examples that makes it easier to remember material during exams! Do the online review and homework and you will be fine. Pay attention in lecture, ask questions. Very nice guy and a great professor! Always willing to help you understand, he answers every question asked very well.

I really liked this professor. He gave tons of examples and was for the most part entertaining. His tests arent that bad and i have only read the book a few times. He is also very funny. I would take him again if i could!

This Professor was very hard, and often the material on the tests did not reflect what the chapters in the book were about. Put my life into this class and still failed (in my perspective). If you have to take him, print off powerpoint slides for every lecture...that is what will save you! Oh, and write down all his personal stories etc. Have fun!

He is very helpful and answers questions very thoroughly. Alot of online hw but its really easy and helps your grade. tests are HARD. need to study book and notes extensively. He also teaches with a different style were he asks the class to explain things and he adds no. no real lecture or notes are given from him. takes alot of time to do well.

Pathophysiology is by no means a walk in the park, but professor Kipp doesn't grind you on the insanely hard concepts. His learning objectives are very open-ended and when you are going them, you will wonder what level of detail is required. But, the exams are almost always simplified versions. Some minor details will need to be memorized though.

He has an interesting style of teaching and you'll either love it or hate it. Students are expected to do course objectives and explain them to the class while he occassionally lectures if the topic is complex. We were allowed to use our notes on tests, but doesn't help as much as you would think. He is really good for the lab section!

You get to use your notes on exams, which is nice, but he makes them harder. Also, you get called on to present objectives in front of the class (you don't know when it's happening) so you have to go to class or you loose participation points if you don't present. He's pretty cool though, and he knows his stuff, and he's funny, which is nice.

He is an incredible professor who completely cares for each of his students. He is very great with being lenient towards your schedule and your grade. His lab reports are straight forward and he will help you with every one. I got 100% on every report.

Prof Kipp was WONDERFUL. Took him spring semester and he was very helpful and passionate about the subject. The book is absolutely essential, but totally worth it. He has you teach the class first, then he will clarify the material. His goal is for you to understand and pass the class. Also a really great guy, had lots of good stories to tell.

After returning back to college after many years prof Kipp was respectful, knowledgable, patient but held you accountable and I walked away a better student and ready to take on the rest of my college career

Unlike most phys lab professors, he gives you skeleton outlines for lab reports, which makes them SO much easier. He explains material very well in lab, is always willing to help, and makes physiology lab enjoyable. I recommend him to everyone!

Don't take 291 with anyone except Kipp. He is super nice and very helpful. He gives templates for the lab reports and allows you to turn them in as a group. Super lenient grader. All around great guy.

Kipp usually does a different style of teaching, but this semester he used the traditional lecture with pp slides. He has a ton of cool stories and is very knowledgable about A &P His test are tough, but fair. It really helps if you read the book as well as pp slides. He also uses connect assignments which are annoying but boost your grade a lot!

I really liked this prof's style of teaching. By forcing us to get into groups and answer questions on the board every day, I not only learned the material better but I also got a cool group to study with. He made lectures interesting and gave relevant and funny examples to the topics we discussed, which was super cool.

He gives you learning objectives and you use your book to answer the questions BEFORE classes. He then randomly chooses people to present each objective in front of the class. Only had to present twice the whole semester. Exams aren't easy, but you can use your notes. Overall this is a low stress class.

He learning objectives to answer the questions before the next classes, using the textbook. Then you randomly present each objective in front of the class. It's only a couple minutes, not really a presentation then he elaborates with examples. Exams aren't easy, but you can use your notes. Credit/No credit homework through the book website as well.

He gives broad learning objectives of what the test will be over. Hand written notes from the book may be used on the multiple choice exams in class. Even with notes, it's tough to get an A on the exams and I spent 15+ hours each week writing notes. 1 paper required but not difficult. I believe he may have curved our final grades a touch. (A- to A)

Dr. Kipp teaches a "flipped class", meaning you have to read and take notes on the chapter and have it prepared before class. Then in class you "present" an objective (read what notes you took) and then Dr. Kipp emphasizes important things and fills in anything you may have missed. Interesting lectures, exam aren't terrible just study.

You get to use notes for each exam you take but you have to have your notes prepared for the class and he randomly chooses names to present. Attendance is not mandatory but if your name is called for that day, he puts a "sad face" next to your name which means he will not help your grade if you are a border line A or B. I recommend him 100%

Great prof overall. Gives lots of practical examples of concepts and explains things well. Is also very approachable and down to earth in office hours. You spend a ton of time outside of class writing out learning objectives from the textbook (about 4-8hrs/week) but you get to use those notes on the exams. Come to class prepared!

There was a lot of work to be done outside of class, but the amount of time it added up to with lecture made you learn the material. Notes that you wrote were allowed on tests too which is amazing because they can be difficult. Though a bit intimidating at first, Dr. Kipp is a great professor that is very understanding and I'll miss having him.

You take your own notes and then he picks certain people to present their notes. Its easy extra points, doesn't bring your grade down if you don't go (it's only for an extra boost at the end of the semester). You can use notes on exams and homework on Connect is easy points too. He's very sweet and understanding, just come to class and try.

Brian is an amazing professor. The students teach about half the class, you are expected to have read ahead and able to present on topics, however in doing this you get to use your notes on the exams. That sounds awesome but his exams are no joke, I found myself getting worse grades than other classes regardless of my notes. Awesome guy though!

I enjoyed Brian's class although it was tough; we were expected to teach the material to ourselves beforehand so we could go more in depth in class. I didn't find the tests too difficult. We got to use handwritten notes. As long as you understand the main concepts of the chapter, you can do pretty well on the tests. Overall would recommend!

Yes, there is a lot of reading and note-taking, but it is worth it because you can use the notes on the exams. Going to class is also important but really helpful. For a hard class like anatomy, the way he sets up class is super nice. I would recommend for both 250 and 251.

Kipp's class was definitely a flipped classroom. Lots of outside work and then he covered the material in class to make sure everyone was on the same page. I was only called on once all year, not bad. Having the learning objectives done is important to hear what he adds on but then you use it on the test! I learned his exams after C+, then all A's.

Dr Kipp was a super nice guy! Very knowledgeable and I really enjoyed his class. He lets you use notes on all exams so make sure you write notes from the book. Participation matters! He will give you extra credit if you volunteer your answers. His lectures are based on objectives from book. Lots of hw. Overall good prof.

Best anatomy Prof I've had. He allows you to use your notes on exams which helps tremendously. As long as you do the objectives and put in the work you will do great in the class.

Hes a really good professor I like the way he teaches doesnt have a lot of writing in powerpoints more verbal. He lets you use hand written notes on all exams, tests were average I didnt find them too hard. A lot of work on learing objectives but they help.

If you put in the work, write diligently, and follow directions exactly, you should get an A.

Dr. Kipp is a really good guy who when he does lecture he gives really good real life examples to help you understand. You get to use your notes on exams, so truthfully I never studied and did just find even with COVID. He is very understanding and kind. Records everything to watch if you missed. Learning targets are clear and helpful. Pretty chill

He's a good prof who explains the topics well. He expects you to write the notes for his outlined learning objectives before coming to class, which honestly helps you understand more in lecture and participate actively with what he's explaining. He is very accessible outside of class and always willing to explain in more detail.

In person lectures were great but when classes moved online, my grade dropped. He wasn't consistent with when he would upload recorded lectures and presented material very fast, uploading them late and monotone. Let you use notes on exams but was very inconsistent with answering emails. Will never reply unless email is sent during his office hours.

Kipp was a good professor. Exams are 90% of the grade but he allows cheat sheets on lockdown. Take detailed notes during lectures; I watched his recorded lectures and wrote down everything he said. Accessible and will go over exams. Final was not cumulative. I only used the book for 3 homework assignments. Everything he tests on he covers in class.

The exams are most of the grades, but he allows you to use any hand written notes. If you pay attention in lecture, the exams are pretty straightforward. I never had any issues with him, and I enjoyed his lectures.

Great about using personal anecdotes to make material more understandable. I only used my textbook the first few weeks of the semester, it's not necessary to pass. Written notes allowed during exams which is super helpful! This class was easier than Micro because of him! He talks pretty fast but he records his lectures so you can always review.

Dr. Kipp made pathophysiology very enjoyable and his use of personal anecdotes in class were very helpful to understand the material. The learning objectives gave you a large understanding of the material and the lectures coincide with it.

Kipp definitely knows his stuff, but got confused & contradicted himself a lot. This class was a lot of work. My advice is to stay on top of the material, go to class, he posts lectures so rewatch those, do his objectives, & make sure at least have a grasp on the material. He is definitely willing to help you, but not the best at answering emails.

very nice guy, wants you to understand. hard material and exams but if you study/do the hw and reading it is not too bad! Lecture presentations posted online, nice if you have to miss a class

I absolutely loved Dr.Kipp. I took him for BMS 250 and 251, and he was amazing. He tells hilarious stories that correspond with the material and he always tries to incorporate things that are clinically relevant. I laughed in every lecture. His learning objectives are fair, and his lectures are based off all his objectives which are on the slides

Dr. Kipp was amazing. He always kept the class entertained during lectures with all of his stories about the topics we were learning. He is always willing to help and explain things differently if needed. The expectations were clear and if you do the work and study you will pass. Dr. Kipp was a great professor and I definitely recommend him!

prof. kipp is super easy to follow, i actually enjoyed attending lectures. no quizzes which was sooo nice and we got one full sheet of free notes on every exam including the final. that being said, the only things i the gradebook is tests and homework. take the time to READ THE BOOK its how i passed all my tests!

All these reviews say to read the book, but I never did all semester and still did good on exams! He lets you have 1 sheet of paper (front/back) to use on the exams, which is super helpful! The exams were about 50 multiple choice questions. I definitely recommend getting with a study group for exams, overall a good professor!!

Brian deserves a much higher rating than where he is at. Ways to succeed in his class are simple. Show up to lecture, take detailed notes (his exams are straight from the notes he says), go to office hours to have him explain. He wants to help you and he does a great job at it. Also he gives a "cheat sheet" for every exam. TAKE HIM!

Professor Kipp runs a challenging class, but he's approachable and genuinely wants students to succeed. Attending lectures, taking detailed notes, and using resources like Unstuck AI for exam prep can help you thrive.

I liked Dr. Kipp as a professor. The lectures were tough as they are dense and full of a lot of information. Sometimes it seemed like he would rush through slides which would take away the opportunity to learn during some lectures. He is also attentive and willing to answer any questions.

Goes a little fast in lecture so it's hard to keep up sometimes, but is always happy to answer questions whenever you need. Grade is mostly on tests so be prepared to study hard for each.

I really enjoyed Dr. Kipps' class. He lets you have a handwritten full sheet of paper on every exam, and his slides were clear and organized! would take again :)
