The first day of class he seemed harsh, but over time he seemed to soften up. He offers extra credit, which is good, but gives A LOT of homework. If you work hard and ask for an A, you should get one (your test and homework count for 50% of your grade, with his opinion being the other 50%). I would definitely take him again.

I'd take Kissling again because of his exam curve and the way he weights your final average. 40 percent of your grade is based of assignments that he mainly checks to see if you do (not for correctness).

Would take again

I am so glad I had the chance to take Professor Kissling in his final semester before he retired. He was an outstanding professor and his lectures were beyond amazing. Such a funny and nice guy, and he cared about us. I would reccomend him but he is retired, but I felt I should right something anyway. Thanks for everything Professor Kissling!
