Kesler grades essays fairly easy. There's rarely any outside work, except for essays. The reason an 85 was the highest grade on the first essays was because nobody proofreads anything before they turn it in. Its a great class if you never want to show up. There isn't an attendance policy.

His class is not too difficult, he does grade strictly, which you'll realize after you get your first paper back. Attendance is entirely optional, and usually pointless. You won't fail his class, but you won't get a B either. Not recommended.

It's not impossible to get an A in Mr. Kesler's class. I got one..not because I aced the papers..but probably because I went to class every day and did all the extra miscellanous things that were 20% of our grade. Mr Kesler is a good teacher..if you work hard and go to him...he's very approachable..then you can make your A or B.

Doesn't open assignments until the class starts, then closes the assignments after class is over, meaning you HAVE to go to class to know about small assignments (aside from essays) to receive a good grade, not very understanding as some people can't make it to every single class. Also makes assignments due early during the day instead of 11:59pm.

I have never had an issue with this professor. He is extremely funny and very active when it comes to lectures. Attendance does matter but he makes it clear in class when and how much not to miss! He is a tough grader but if you take his words and criticism into account you should have no problem. If you too AP/ Honors in HS, I would recommend him!

I would definitely take Mr. Kesler again. He is very caring, and he is hilarious. There are times when he would randomly give you an assignment and it is due on a Wednesday, but if you are a person that does their work when needed, it won't be difficult. He gives really good feedback on the essays also so that you can make a better grade next time.

Professor Kesler does not respect women. I raise my hand all the time in class and he will randomly call on a boy who is not raising his hand instead of calling on me (a girl) who has her hand raised. He also makes fun of his female students and does not make fun of his male students. So disrespectful

When I entered his class on most days I dreaded knowing I would be there for a considerable amount of time do to his lack of organization. He repeats himself repeatedly about rubrics, the assignment at hand, and just banter. He picks at the smallest things on your paper and gives vague feedback as well as instruction. Take a different teacher.

The teacher will claim you are cheating without any proof. When ask for another chance he will tell you to deal with it. He is not understanding at all.

Professor Kesler was amazing, I'd highly recommend you take him. Just turn his work in on time, don't wait till the last minute and you'll be good.

He's a bit uptight and passive aggressive as it relates to the way you present a problem to him. Also things are due at 5, even if you get an extension. I mean other than that he's noble and very distinct body language, which kept me engaged, sort of.

Go to class and youll pass. His papers aren't hard if you put in effort. Easy class if you listen and do what he asks. Great guy and worked hard for his students even through he was sick.

Professor Kesler was great! Awesome! Until I suggested we get a paper due at 11:59PM instead of 5PM. Very petty towards me after that and it affected my grade after class had already ended. He's a good teacher but don't disagree with him on things or suggest change.

Professor is impossible to please. He would encourage you to send him your rough draft, encourage changes, then deduct points from what he told you to change. He's decent until he feels challenged about your opinion or knowledge. He does not like to be wrong, you will not get a good grade on future papers if you do, speaking from experience.
