Kiracofe's class was super easy. The tests were easy as well, he's very leaneate with grading. Only 1 paper, 2 tests and I believe 1 quiz. Everything else is just listening and taking notes. He's helpful and approachable.

I've had 3 courses with Professor Kiracofe, he's the best choice for history classes PERIOD. He's friendly, approachable, has a great sense of humor, and is definitely one of the most understanding professors on the Chesapeake campus. He understands people have lives outside of school, and is VERY accomodating if you experience difficulties. 10/10

Mr. Kiracofe is a pretty chill teacher, he doesn't require much there is only a few tests during the semester and you only have to write one paper . I took him twice because he makes the class so easy to pass.

EASIEST A EVER. Show up and pay attention and youll be perfectly fine. His lectures are pretty interesting and hes hilarious. Quizzes are super basic. Tests are short answer but get the basics and youre fine. One big project that is fairly time consuming but nothing too hard. Give him a hug for me.

He has a very monotone voice so paying attention while at home was hard. Since history is my least favorite subject, I would just use the PowerPoints to study for the quizzes and tests.

Amazing! Kinda monotoned voice, but test/quizzes cover what he says in lecture. Literally all you need to do is listen. I will be taking him again for another history. Always gives great feedback as well.

Amazing professor! As long as you're willing to sit through incredibly boring lectures then it should be the easiest A of your life. He only has 2 tests throughout the semester and he even dropped the essay for my class. I'm also certain he marks some answers correct as long as you write something down. He prefers completion over correct.

I took him for 111 and 112 and he has easily become one of my favorite professors. You really do not do anything besides listen; plus he prints out all the notes for you, so if you just skim them before one of the few test you'll be solid. He keeps history interesting and exciting.

I really enjoyed his class, he was very funny and the lectures were fun and entertaining while covering the necessary content. There were lots of fun class discussions, attendance was mandatory, and the grades were based off of a few tests and a few papers.

Participation matters

Professor Kiracofe makes history engaging. Tests are straightforward, and he's accommodating. Unstuck ai was a game-changer for study prep - highly recommend it alongside the textbook.
