Take this class!! Professor Kimber is the best instructor I have ever encountered. He has a passion for education and philosophy. Lots of extra credit opportunities; fair, material-based tests and quizzes; FUN (yes, fun) homework; a group project and a paper. I enjoyed this class so much that I was reluctant to leave on the final day.
Professor Kimber rocks!!
This teacher was awesome! He was very helpful. Lots of extra credit, probably every week. He gives homework everyweek and questions that are very similar to the test. Take this class! He gives one group project. I got an A, very easy class if your study.
This guy is awesome. I enjoyed coming to his class everyday. He is very passionate about philosophy and teaching. Come to class everyday, do assignments, and get an easy A. Probably one of my favorite professors thus far.
Professor Kimber is amazing. As long as you show up, do the work and participate you'll get an A. The best professor i've ever had, take his class if you want to have fun while learning!
Prof kimber is awesome. This is a great class an easy A but u learn a lot. Wish I could take it again. There is homework and a writing assignment but it's super easy and Prof Kimber is real easy going. Definately recommend taking any class with him!
a great professor that's passionate about his work. the class never got boring! just study for the quizes, do the writing assignments and you're on your way to an easy A.
great teacher soo awsome
Best teacher. Easy Class. Want to take for ethics. Recommend for everybody.
just finished the semester with prof.Kimber. he is a great professor, i plan to take him for ethics soon. he makes going to class enjoyable, & u can tell he loves what he does & breaks down the material for everyone to understand there was 1 "major" paper and two group projects which were not hard at all. hw & quizzes. read the stuff & u'll do fine
Professor Kimber is a really sweet guy. The class is easy but since it is a writing class there are a lot of assignments: quizzes and homework due almost every class meeting, and it helps to do the prep question for each reading assignment. The midterm and finals are easy and there is one writing assignment (essay). It is a lot but it's easy.
love him. easy A give u the questions on the mini quizzes which u get everyday, final and midterm. all u have to do is write an essay. cant getany easy.love his piercing blue eyes too lol
Fantastic Teacher he is fun, involved, and the class discussions are always interesting. He is funny and dorky. Heck even the textbook for his class is cheap and great. Kimber made me love philosophy and now I'm doing a dual major in philosophy. I even got my girlfriend to do the class. If you want to get a humanity out of the way take this class.
he is a fantastic professor and its an easy and enjoyable class. just show up and pay attention and you'll get an A.
BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD!
Took him for summer..passionate teacher,a little strange but he knows what he is talkig about.Class input matters the most to him,seems like you can never be wrong.you have mini-quizzes every class meeting, read your book & youll do fine. You have one 5 page essay due, but its nothing to bite your nails about. passed with an A, highly recommended
He is great.He gives you a review for every quizzes which help a lot. If you put the work, you'll see the rewards. the only thing don't take his class thinking you'll leave early for he can talk.if you have him for 5 hours, he will keep you until past the last minute of the class.Beside that,it's a great class.
if your taking ethics he is the guy! even if you dont need to take ethics take him its a fun class! EASY A!
Highly recommend him. He is polite and good. Just attend and do the work. I don't want this semester to end. Gonna miss his class. Good professor.
He is an overall great teacher. NOt alot of work is done in class but just discussions which really get interesting. Every class you have a quiz but hey their easy he basically gives u the quiz b4 hand 4 u 2 study; same thing goes 4 da final n midterm. Alot of work overall but hey he also gives lots of extra credit so can't beat dat
My God. My final is in 2 days and I am actually enjoying the studying for it. This class is not about an easy A, although it is pretty easy. It is about the knowledge you will get and how enriching the experience will be. He is the sweetest man who just wants to open your minds up. It truly would be your loss. Take it, spread the enlightenment! :)
OMG EASY EASY EASY EASY EASY EASY AND IM WHAT U CALL A LAZY STUDENT I WILL ADMIT (LOL) F U DONT TAKE ETHICS WITH THIS PROF U ARE CRAZY MINI QUIZES EASY EASY EASY JUST DO THE REVIEW THAT HE GIVES EVERY WEEK U WILL BE FINE AND DO THE 5PAGE PAPER EASY EASY EASY ALL I CAN SAY IS EASY I GOT AN A. OTHER PROFS: NEED TO SHADOW PROF: KIMBER HE'S THE BEST
Awesome professor. He is a passionate teacher. Not only is he a good prof but also a good person.
Very good professor, you can tell that he loves to teach. Makes philosophy very entertaining. There are some boring classes especially if you are taking it once a week for four hours like I did, but this is a great class for just about anyone. One five page paper, two "group inquires" HW every class and a final and midterm. All very easy. Take Him!
I'd recommend him to anyone! He's great at giving examples that are easy to understand. This guy is very passionate about the subject he's teaching to the point it gets you interested very quickly. do yourself a favor and take this class!
This professor is the best in the school. His class was very cool. I thought philosophy was going to be a boring class but at the end it was the best class I ever took. I passed with and A+ and the professor is very cool and understanding.
Brilliant Professor! This is one of the best college courses I have ever taken! I have greatly enjoyed his class. He does a great job explaining all of the philosophical concepts and ideas! I highly recommend him! This class is enlightening and thought provoking.
Awesome Professor! He is really passionate about philosophy which makes the class interesting and fun. His lectures are really interesting and you will walk away from this class having learned a lot of new things. He's also very laid-back when it comes to turning things in late. One of the best professors I've ever had!
He was a very good professor... Class was pretty easy if u read the book.... The mini quizzes was a good way to help you prepare for finals and midterms.... And by the way, he was hot...
What makes him a great professor is that he is very passionate about his teaching. I'm taking him for Ethics and although its a 6 week course, I've found the class to be very interesting and fun! Homework and mini quizzes are everyday. 2 group inquiries, one paper and a midterm & final. Best class I've ever taken. He's the best at BC!
Professor Kimber is one of my favorite professors here at BC. He is very passionate in Philosophy and Ethics, and it shows. He can teach for hours and is very clear and cool during his lectures. Overall, the class was easy, but you have to pay attention and study. I passed with an A, and I leaned to like and understand Philosophy because of him.
VERY GOOD TEACHER, ALOT OF WORK BUT AS LONG AS YOU STUDY EASY CLASS TO ACE, HE GIVES EXTRA CREDIT AND WILL WORK WITH YOU 110%.
AMAZING PROFESSOR. Loves Philosophy and he organizes amazing class discussions. Gives TONS of extra credit, and a study guide for all the mini-quizzes. One 5-page paper. You need the book, but just study and it's an easy A!
Awesome professor! Highly recommend!
Amazing professor! please take his class was awesome. Mini quizzes each class but they are really easy! lots of group discussions. He treats every idea fairly and with respect will be taking him again for ethics. He inspired me so much i'm a philosophy major now!
What are you doing!? What are you waiting for? Sign up for this guys class now! He is an awesome teacher for those who do know and don't know philosophy. Personally I had fun discussions with him after class and he really knows a lot. Oh and if you like the subject you can easily get over 100%. I never missed a question on the quiz, test, final,etc
Incredible. He is the most understanding and enthusiastic professor I've ever had. Biomedical ethics has never seemed more interesting. TAKE HIM. Not only is he an easy grader, but he sincerely takes the time to invest in his students' questions and thoughts. He's great online; I can only imagine in person!
This guy's articulation is nothing short of INCREDIBLE!He is extremely CLEAR and can put words together insanely well. You will never see him use the word 'like' or he will never say 'umm' I wish I spoke more like him. He should teach speech!
He is a great teacher. He gives examples after examples so that you can understand as clearly as possible. The class is generally an easy class. JUST DO NOT BE LATE ON MINI QUIZ DAYS, you'll atomatically get half off and the F's on the quizes add up. I reccomend him as a teacher to anyone interested in this intro to philosophy class.
Dr.Kimber is awesome! He explains material thoroughly and is respectful to each and every student. He sees everyones points of view and is not biased. He is a very mature and experienced teacher. Choose Him!!!
This guy is incredible! i enjoyed his class. He is passionate about the subject. He is not handing out A's you do have to work for your grage. There is no way for you to not pass this class if you follow his instructions. You will learn alot. He is clear in what he wants you to do. Just take him!
Words can't describe how amazing Professor Kimber is! He makes such a boring topic so interesting and fun. He is very passionate about Ethics and Philosophy and knows everything! I like that he is unbiased and respectful of others ideas. Definitely recommend him, his mini quizzes are easy and the final and midterm are exactly as previous quizzes.
Dude's a beast!!!! He can teach so well, he is clear, consistent and good-natured. I wish all my professors were like him. I usually ask a LOT of questions and he still answers them!
Definitely a must take. Despite being a easy teacher, he is very helpful and has interesting examples in class. Gives you the answers to EVERY mini quiz, midterm, and "final celebration" With all the EXTRA CREDIT he offers, i was able to recover from a horrible start to get an A. Dont be stuck in the cave
Very interesting class, easy A, hot professor, what more do you want? His discussions in class are very informative & fun. He respects everyone's opinion & he mails you the things you have to study for the mini quizzes, midterm, & final. Hardest part of the class is the 5 page paper, but it's only hard if you're lazy. Take this professor NOW!
Professor Kimber is the best teacher at BC! He is passionate and makes everything interesting. You won't regret taking his class! He is extremely knowledgable with everything philosophy-related and always has the answers... TAKE HIM!
This is what all teachers should be like, he is intelligent and helpful. i thought philosophy was going to be some boring class you had power through that would not teach you anything, i was wrong! his class is engaging and you will enjoy the class discussions.
OMG! I have never met a Professor who is EXTREMELY PASSIONATE about his teaching. Very enthusiastic, funny, charming and SO interesting. There is hoework everyday, but just a worksheet. EASY A! Just do the work and the every day quizzes. He emails you the EXACT, I REPEAT EXACT questions on the quizzes. Please take Kimber!
he is a nice teacher but talks alot. i count time in his class. mini quizes everyday and he will send you the prep questions.
Amazing teacher i am considering to change my major to philosophy because he made this class very fun and very ineresting and he was also very nice to look at as well ;) i recommend him!!!
BEST TEACHER EVER. He offers tons of extra credit and mini-quizes everyday that he sends you the questions to before class. If you show up and do the work it's an easy A. He manages to make philosophy fun. I don't like philosophy at all but I really enjoyed this class! TAKE IT !!!
Awesome professor. very sad at the end of the semester. Sends an email to the question on the quizzes. Multiple choice very easy. Homework mostly opinion based. Very interactive class. I loved learning about philosophy in his class. Best teacher at BC
Professor Kimber is really nice and very helpful if you're having trouble understanding a concept. He emails you the EXACT questions that he puts on the test! If you have trouble retaining what you read in the textbook, skim for his questions and you'll know what you need to! He covers everything in class, too!
I had no prior interested in Philosophy before taking this class. Prof. Kimber makes it easy to understand. He is very easy to talk to. Homework and mini quizzes help you keep up with the class. I got a B in the class and know I could have definitely tried harder. I highly recommend this teacher. He's not bad to look at either =)
I took him twice and he is the best teacher ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please please please take him!
Prof. Kimber is amazing! Mind you, there is a good workload with this class(not hard). He is very energetic, funny and very nice. MAKE SURE YOU READ YOUR BOOK. He really wants you to learn the material. I wasn't the most outspoken student in class but he still remembered me from 2 semesters ago. Definitely Recommend :).
TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!!! Professor Kimber has so much passion for philosophy and is very good at teaching it. The mini quizzes are easy just review the prep on d2l. The midterm and final are exactly as the previous quizzes. Enjoy this class, you will learn so much!
My best class the whole semester. This teacher is AMAZING!! Fun class! Take him!
Professor Kimber is amazing. He teaches with such passion and he keeps the class engaged. His class is not hard and you learn so much every week without being stressed out.The tests are multiple choice and you get the review ahead of time.
Professor Kimber is the best.His class is always interesting and you learn so much at the same time. The most work to do in this class is the term paper and he gives you the topic from the first week of class. The tests are similar to the reviews. There are weekly mini quizzes, a midterm and a final. There is a ton of extra credit available.
easy A. interesting if youre into philosophy but if not you will be bored to death. take this class if you need an elective and dont want to take ethics. very nice prof. lots of group activities and group discussions. make sure you read the book. mini quizzes are given frequently and a midterm and final. lots of extra credit opportunities
He is a great professor and a great human being. What I like the most is the fact that he is not trying to teach a subject , he teaches the meaning behind it, the inquiries are amazing. He was a great inspiration and will always will be. Taking his class was a blessing and I highly recommend his class .
Mr. Kimber was amazing. He is so helpful and really makes the information fun and interesting. he helps bring philosophy into your life and helps you become a better person. That class really helps you chose who you want to be and who you are.
I can honestly say Professor Kimber is the best teacher I have ever had in my entire life. His lectures are memorable, and insightful, He demonstrates an admirable mastery of his field and passion for what he teaches. If you read your book you will get an A. Highly recommended professor.
Kimber is an awesome professor and will keep you interested in philosophy. You will learn a lot about philosophy and have a ton of respect for him, as well as the subject at the end of the semester.
Cool teacher. Makes you think about stuff he talks about even when you are not in class. Easy to pass if you do the work. Gives lots of extra credit. Take him!
Omg... I love you proffessor Kimber.... he LITERALLY changed my life... outlook.. goals... how I opperate as a member of society... he's so PASSIONATE!!! WONDERFUL WONDERFUL MAN!! I WOULD PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR HIS CLASS... <3 THANK YOU SO MUCH PROF. KIMBER.
He is super nice and kind , he loves teaching so much . Everyday u have mini quiz but it's easy . 2 test. I love him .
amazing teacher, truly loves the subject. He is really about class participation and loves it when you contribute. take him as your first choice, he is awesome
He's a really wonderful professor. He's very energetic and passionate about what he's teaching. You'll definitely learn a lot. There's mini quizzes and homework for every chapter, which are all really easy. There's also a lot of extra credit opportunities. It's an easy A as long as you do your work and readings.
A professor you can tell was made to teach. Passionate&intelligent. Ask him where he went to school!There is so much homework, definitely will make you reflect on big questions. I like the choice of textbook too, which you use alot, not many options to rent it new though:/so i got the old edition, but its kinda confusing to use. take him
He's such an amazing teacher! I'm really going to miss his class. There is only one paper and their is a mini quiz almost everyday. As long as you do the pre questions you'll be fine :}
Best philosophy teacher in the world not only is he adorable he knows his stuff. This semester I learned so many different theories and it made me question a lot. Trust me this class will enhance your brain cells. Mini quizzes daily and paper he's is what you call a teacher.
Very nice teacher. But don't take combined classes! It's hard to keep motivated when most of the work is online.
Excellent professor really makes you think had him for ethics Learned about Socrates Plato Kant Utilitarianism morality and ethics Learned the most about critical thinking and myself and what it means to be good
Great passionate teacher and fun class. You will learn a lot. Just read the chapters and do his assignments and you will definitely get a A. He gives a lot of extra credit as well :)
Kimber is such a nice dude! He gives a lot of HW that requires writing and mini-quizzes, but both are easy. Lectures can get a tiiiiny bit boring but overall Kimber kept me engaged.
Very knowledgeable!! Soft spoken but when he speaks you wanna listen. Save all MQ to study for exams and do the prep for MQ. You will learn to ask questions in life... This is a game changer. even better if it's paired with AMH2010 &SYG2000. The lessons tend to mirror each course although the classes are different. Pretty kool when it happened..
Don't usually rate teachers but this man was an exception. Extremely knowledgable in Philosophy, always full of energy and opportunity!! Actually cared about his students! Thank you !!!!
Definitely one of my FAVORITE classes! Professor Kimber is the best teacher at BC! He actually cares about his students and wants everyone in class to have fun more than anything. Very interesting concepts that he introduces and I'm glad I took him for Ethics
Prof. Kimber, what can I say? He's amazing! I selected this man as my professor during the winter term of 2012 and the class was for two hours. Prof. Kimber made this class very interesting and it was very obvious that he loved his position and most importantly wants to make certain his students pass. He does give alot of HW, but you learn alot!
Never felt like there was a teacher worth writing about but Prof. Kimber changed my mind. THIS TEACHER IS AMAZING! You don't need to take notes if you pay attention. Does give a lot of homework but its worth it. This teacher is passionate about what he does and will ALWAYS explain anything you don't understand. He's very patient IMO take him !!!
Excellent Professor. The material can be overwhelming, but he made the class and material extremely easy to understand. Take good notes and read the chapters and you will get an A.
Kimber is an intelligent, passionate professor; he loves to teach. He gave a lot of homework but that's what makes up your grade. You're going to need the book. If you do all the homeworks, you'll most likely get an A. Definitely recommend this professor; he's a bright man that is trying to spread knowledge not only about ethics, but on life too.
Philosophy was a class I had no interest in whatsoever, that's what impacted my grade. Getting that out of the way, Kimber is a great professor. He WILL talk your ears off, but I never paid attention. You don't HAVE to read the book to do his assignments and mini-quizzes. Skimming through will suffice and Google for the quizzes. Blended course.
Pf. Kimber is hands down one of the best in the business. I had his session 2 course so there was plenty of HW and Quizzes in one week. There is a paper and group interaction. A short mid-term and he did a creative assignment as our final. I would suggest him over and over to everyone. He's an easy grader and is understanding. Take him!!!
Kimber is a great teacher, one of the best college proffessors i've had so far. He's very easy to understand, always available to help, soft spoken guy, but very passionate about his teaching and it makes you interested; great overall guy. if you have the opportunity to take him, do it.
It's no wonder that Josh has such a great rating here, he has a love of wisdom and shows it. He is very helpful, very fun, explains things to the point of no confusion, and if you're lucky you'll see him walk into a wall or tear up a book. The classroom discussions are definitely eye opening, and the daily quiz is mostly easy if you read the book.
I had an amazing semester w this professor. if you're looking for a class where you can broaden your thinking of life and have fun, this is it. he's a great and when I mean great, a GREAT professor, filled with knowledge, loves what he does and makes the lessons fun! the work isn't hard as long as you read and commit to the assignments. TAKE IT!
Great teacher and very approachable. Mini quizzes, prep questions and homework every week, one paper and a group project. Midterm and finals are easy to pass if you apply yourself and pay attention. It is really hard to fail this class, only if you are extremly lazy.
AMAZING Professor, can really tell he enjoys his career he is passionate about Philosophy. All you have to do is think harder then you actually do and get your thoughts and ideas out there. Quizzes, assignments and final exam all easy if you read the book and show up to his lectures. But HIGHLY recommended him, best so far
Awesome professor who is obviously really into what he is teaching, which is a plus. Expect to be there the whole time that your class is pay attention! He is really passionate about the subject. Gives tons of extra credit opportunities. Do the homework and the prep questions for the mini quizzes and you'll get an A for sure.
Summer. Great professor. He explains the chapters really well. He is very passionate about philosophy. There is 1 paper which is about 5 pages. He gives you a criteria for that. The final is take home. It was a blended course, so he would assign quizzes online and have quizzes in class the next day. There is a ton of reading but great lectures.
AMAZING! Tons of reading, but great lectures. Long homework, but you WILL learn.
AMAZING! HE'S SUCH A SWEETHEART. HE WILL GIVE YOU EXTRA CREDIT IF YOU HAD A LOW GRADE ON AN ONLINE QUIZ. I FAILED ALL OF MY ONLINE QUIZZES AND STILL MANAGED TO GET A GOOD OLE "B". JUST SHOW THAT YOU CARE AND SHOW UP AND DO WHAT YOU'RE TOLD. TAKE HIM! HE'S AMAZING.
AMAZING! HE'S SUCH A SWEETHEART. HE WILL GIVE YOU EXTRA CREDIT IF YOU HAD A LOW GRADE ON AN ONLINE QUIZ. I FAILED ALL OF MY ONLINE QUIZZES AND STILL MANAGED TO GET A GOOD OLE "B". JUST SHOW THAT YOU CARE AND SHOW UP AND DO WHAT YOU'RE TOLD. TAKE HIM! HE'S AMAZING. WOULD TAKE AGAIN!
I absolutely love him! I have never in life imagined to take this kind of class and actually enjoyed it. I'm not about philosophy what so ever but he made this class very entertaining and easy. Expect a lot of homework but the homework WILL help you. Take his class!
mr. kimber if you're reading this ILY!!!!! He's the nicest professor, super educated on his subject, very understanding, and tries to be dynamic in his approach. I had personal problems that caused me to turn in a major paper very late and he was understanding and allowed for extra credit and other redemptions. A+
THIS GUY IS THE BEST! Period. He gives you a chapter to read and answer questions for HW along with a midterm that is extremely easy and a final paper that is 5 pages long, but fun to write if you ended up liking philosophy like Prof. Kimber got me to do. He loves teaching philosophy and the subject itself and it shows, TAKE HIM!
He loves his students and the subject! He is super smart and makes you understand the subject! It was a lot of work, lots of homework but essay A since he doesn't grade tough
THIS GUY IS AWESOME! Every class you take a quiz that is on the reading but the quiz is IDENTICAL to the one you have to take online, and you can draw something on the back for extra credit. Homework is completion and he exlains everything thoroughly. Amazing teacher, extra credit kept me at a 98% all semester. Highly reccomended. Cheap book too.
Very nice professor and very passionate about ethics. Gives alot of homework but its very clear cut and hes an easy grader. Gives really good feedback and does everything he can to make sure you pass.
Great Professor! Would recommend any and everyone! He won Professor of the year in Florida. Oh and he says "Good" a lot.
LOVED this guy. Passionate about the subject. Explains thoroughly. He is creative and his lectures are engaging. The homework can be a lot but the questions help you think and apply what you have read. Mini quizzes are from the online quizzes. Easy going teacher, easy going class. You'd have to try very hard to fail!
An easy going professor who will provide you with every opportunity to do well in the class. His essay, mid term, and final were not difficult in the sense you might assume, they were engaging and thought provoking. His lectures are entertaining and easy to understand. This professor has actually changed me as a person and how I view the world!
At first I felt that the work he gives is a bit overwhelming, but if you want to pass, obviously you'll do it. Professor is tough, but he cares about his students, discussions are cool. Would recommend and would take again.
One of a kind teacher. His energy is contagious and I truly enjoyed this class. Lots of homework but he is an easy grader and most homework assignments are based on your own opinion. There is a quiz every class but just go off the chapter reviews he gives out. I would recommend anyone raking philosophy to take professor Kimber you won't regret it.
If you're into philosophy you would probably enjoy the work. If you are not interested and only need credit you will HATE the work! Very long, annoying, & pointless homework & readings ! I'm taking English & American History along with this class and i get the MOST work from this class! But he is really nice and passionate about philosophy :)
He is awesome but gives a lot of homework. Wish he gave us less homework so we could focus more on each of them. I would be fine if I had only his class but I had more than one. I felt so stress with his class, not with him but with his assignments.
Soo much HW! If this was the only class I was taking then it wouldn't be so bad but this is not the case. Especially when you're uninterested in the subject. He is amazing but the HW is not. You always have to explain why, then elaborate more on the "why", then give more detail about the elaboration on why, justify why, DUDE IT NEVER ENDS TRUST ME!
I enjoyed this class so much. He was so entertaining and really passionate about philosophy. I would take him again anyday!
One of the best teacher I've had at BC. I am currently taking him and have a week and a half left and I enjoyed the class overall. He gives a lot of homework but it is self explanatory and gave me an A for just completing it. Very understanding and you can tell he is passionate about Philosophy.
He is an amazing teacher, my favorite so far. He is so passionate about what he teaches and he makes the class so much fun! there is a lot of reading and homework that has to be done, but the homework is easy to complete. There is a small quiz every class, but he gives you a "practice quiz" the night before with the same exact questions as the quiz
Best teacher of all time
He's the best teacher I have had since I started Broward College.
Kimber is a great guy but the work load is veryyy heavy for such an easy class....
What an amazing professor, truly amazing. Although he gives a lot of homework, he is very lenient, and caring and extremely understanding. You have weekly quizzes but tells you what to study. You have only a midterm and a final, and one paper due, and I promise it was super easy! highly recommend him!!!!
Phenomenal teacher!!!!!
Took Kimber for Intro to Phil Honors and wow, what a ride. This guy is REALLY passionate about what he teaches and makes the class super enjoyable. There is A LOT to read and it can get confusing but just keep up and ask questions and you'll pass for sure.
If you are not good at Philosophy, DO NOT TAKE HIM. This class was supposed to be an Ethics class but it was completely about Philosophy. I know plenty of people who have taken Ethics class with dif profs at BC and the topics were ABSOLUTELY dif than his. He's a good prof but the workload is ridiculous. So clear your schedule if you take him.
I love Professor Kimber! Honestly one of my favorite professors at Broward College! He is extremely passionate about teaching and his lectures are captivating. There is an extremely heavy workload but I think it maybe because I was taking a 6-week course. There are mini quizzes online and in person every clas. He is lenient with late work!
He/s an amazing inspirational professor who really cares about his students. The class is super easy but the homework is kinda annoying. You really have to read the whole chapter of the book to answer the 3-4 pages of homework that you get. He's very lenient and a great guy, he's the reason why im interested in philosophy now! Highly recommend.
nice teacher but gives alot of work, doesnt give any due dates which is bad because alot of people ended up being backed up with all the assignments. good teacher but i dont like how he runs his class
I love this man with all my heart. Homework every week but is super willing to extend the deadline. He's really funny and very. Just when I thought it would be impossible I got an A! Even when you think it's too late to turn in work, just turn it in.
This professor was amazing! Inspirational, helpful, caring, entertaining.... I can't say enough good things about him. I started this class knowing absolutely nothing about philosophy or ethics. Now, not only do I feel confident in the subject, but I can see how it will help me with critical thinking skills I will need going into my nursing major.
BEST PROFESSOR OF ALL TIMES! no words really needed but if you need some extra credit just take this class its so easy and very fast! no regrets for sure!
Really nice professor. Very lenient with late work, you can submit it right up until the end of the term. Personally do not recommend taking him for 6 weeks in Summer-a lot of info in short time span. Also, his quizzes in D2L are less than a minute per question with only 1 attempt! I thought I was gonna get a B/C, but low and behold I got an A!
Kimber is a great professor, very lenient with the homework, provide ton of extra credit, I took him for a short period of time so the homework will be whole lot. It's easy but annoying at the same time so if you one of those students do not like homework DO NOT DO IT but if you can handle couple hw and not procrastinate than take him. Easy Class.
Professor Kimber was the most passionate teacher I've ever had. Every lecture was so enjoyable because he loved what he was teaching and he truly understood it. He engages very well with his students and has his students work with one another to understand different opinions and feelings. I was always comfortable to ask questions. TAKE HIM!
The best teacher at Broward College, I am not even kidding. Laid back, understanding, funny.
So, he is a passionate professor, his lectures are interesting, however, he gives to many hw ... For each classes you will have 2 tests, one online, one in class, a set of hw questions, and during the semester 2 exams, an essay, and a group project. I spend more of my time working on his class that on my other classes.
if your not going to do your homework this isn't a good class. its easy and you can write anything for the homework and one essay and you'll get an A. quiz every other class or so make sure you study and there are quizzes online every other class too. TAKE HIM!! if you put some work in.
Easy professor. Very Understanding. A lot of work, in a short amount of time. If you keep up, turn in all assignments on time and pay attention and participate in class I don't see how you can get lower than a B+ in this class. I don't know anything on Philosophy and I'm passing the class. You can too.
Outstanding course as long as you read and understand the material. He gives plenty of homework, and all quizzes in class are for extra credit. This was easily one of my most favorite courses and professors ever. This guy really cares about his students and the subject. It was an 8 week class so it went by fast, but he gives many opportunities.
Well, let me tell you all about how great this class was. I took the 6-week Intro To Ethics course and it was great. Professor Kimber is an excellent professor and he cares a lot about his students. Although, the homework assignments were very long, you will leave his course with a lot of knowledge. Take him. You wont regret it. Easy A.
amazing professor, hes makes this course worth taking!
Prof. Kimber is amazinggg! He is so, so sweet. It's interesting to listen to his lectures. He cares SO much about his students. Offers a lot of extra credit. The only thing I found annoying about his class was the homework. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE!!! It's very easy, but requires so much time to complete them. I loved him though. Easy and fun class.
Ive taken ethics and philosophy with him and both times were great, he's so full of knowledge and constantly pushes your thinking. He gives you so many opportunities to bring up your grade, if you don't pass its bcus you didn't show up. 1 5pg paper due towards the middle but he gives you time to do it. lots of time consuming hw but easy. Take him!
Professor Kimber is truly a rare breed. He is knowledgeable and well-versed, he is compassionate and charismatic, and he is interactive and understanding. Definitely someone who loves his job, and he definitely practices what he preaches. If you're going to take philosophy, Professor Kimber will provide. Read the book and do your work! Be kind!
Easy clas but you must be ready to read,all the long long hws are based on the chapters of the book. He's so caring about students & gives extra credit, he's flexible with due dates and grades. Group projects and an essay but it's all about critical thinking
Words cant desceibe how nice and caring this professor is. I took him for an 8 week class and I couldnt have been happier. I missed a few days and he was very understanding.i did very well on the quizzes because the homework he gives is exactly what will be in the quiz. TAKE HIM. You will learn and never forget. :)
Honestly one of the nicest professors out there. Very caring and understanding and SUPER lenient with work. I took a 6 week class and we had quizzes due every class and even had in class quizzes as well. Be aware that if you do take a shorter class it will be a lot work that's due sooner.
He is not pushing on students and is not stressing students with homework, he is really friendly !
PLEASE TAKE HIM BEST PROF EVER. I had him for an 8 week course so we had to read and complete hw every class. There's online quiz and in class quiz (almost the same as online) to make sure you read. He gives so much extra credit. I got an "A". You can too if you put in effort. He tries to be funny and is really interactive. He made it so fun!
This professor is the absolute best! The homework is simple, and the midterm and final were easy, the final was take home. He gives so much extra credit, and if you are late with work he doesn't mind and will accept it. He is super caring and nice. Take him, you won't regret it!
Great professor. He cares about his students only thing he gives a lot of homework but its easy just time consuming but would defiantly love to take him again!
Professor Kimber is by far the best professor that I've taken so far! I took this class as session 2, best idea ever! The class was very engaging and amazing, the homework is really understanding, he give prep questions for the quiz which is a study guide for the midterm. It was really a sad thing to leave his class at the end of the semester.
Really Really nice Teacher but be aware of the quiz you have one in each class. So there a quiz online and in class. The homework is extremely long and annoying but easy. You need the book to answer them but I recommend you buying a use one online for $10. Dont expect to leave early in his class he use 100% of his class time to talk & talk & talk.
Prof Kimber is great! He really makes sure you understand what is discussed in lecture. The homework is a struggle, it really makes you think! There are online quizzes and in class quizzes. The homework prep is VERY helpful when it comes to the quizzes and homework!
Great professor hes funny and cool. He makes school fun you want to go to class because you know its like a break from school. Very laid back and makes you think differently. If he had different classes I would take him again
He is very passionate about what he does and he really tries to make everyone understand the concept. He is very kind and gives a lot of extra credit. BUT he does give a lot of HW, and long lectures. The HW is a good 2-3 pages long, and theyre easy to do if you show up to class regularly. His quizzes and mid term/ final are an EASY A.
Amazing. Hes pretty neat and I feel like hes too good for BC. Hes a good prof and you can tell he strives for learning and comprehension. Homework can be much but he works with you. Be ready to read tho
Prof. Kimber is a really guy even though he can stand there talk for 3 hours and 50 minutes straight during class is crazy, but the class was fun and he loves teaching Philosophy just take him you won't regret it just a lot of homework, quizzes are online, mini quizzes in class, midterm, final and a 1500 word paper.
Great professor! Funny, lets you turn in work late if you need to, gives lots of extra credit. You can tell he's passionate about teaching and he makes his lessons fun. I actually really enjoyed his class and would take again
Did not have a pleasant time taking Professor Kimber's course. Though he is most definitely an intellectual, his course was unpleasant to complete. This isn't a complaining review about how the work was too hard. I completed all assignments, received an A on final paper, and more than 100% on mid-term. The weekly packets were miserable to complete
Great professor. An old master. Take him.
Great professor. One of the best Ive had at BC. He is understanding and cares about his students. He works online and in class and is flexible with turning in work. If youre busy hell let you turn in work the next class. Very kind teacher. 100% recommend for ethics as well as hes very knowledgeable and wants you to question everything lol
One of the best professors Ive had so far! The content of the class was a little difficult but he does a great job at lecturing and ensuring you understand. His lectures are very laid back. One of the nicest professors that gives a ton of extra credit. Just show up to class and do the homework and youll be fine.
there a lot of assignments in class but everything is in the book. I took him in a session 4 so everything is fasted but easy to learn. He's flexible on due dates and there is group projects which is participating and talking about the tpoic giving. There is a writen midterm and final plus 7 mini quizzes to due but he's a great professor
He is great! really loved him. he gives awesome lectures that are super interesting and you can tell the whole class is super interested in what he's talking about. there is a lot of homework and there's a pop quiz in every class. its still a pretty easy class and you can definitely pass if you just show up, read, and do the work.
Class decisions lasts the whole class time. Lectured/talked about topics that were in homework. Do the assignments, put effort and you will pass. great professor to take!
How this professor doesn't have 100% is beyond me. This prof is THE BEST. Hands down. You have to read a lot in philosophy, it's just the nature of the beast, but really it is enjoyable work and easy. There's lots of homeowrk, but hardly any tests/quizs. No heavy exams. The class is more about exploring philosophy rather than the technicalities.
He does require a lot of reading because he will like you to read ahead to take a pop quiz so you can understand the lectures a little better. I like how he engage all of his students to make learning fun. He really did tried his best to make sure we learn and pass.
Professor Kimber was amazing and so sweet he does give quite a bit of homework but he gives you good feedback on the grades he gives. The lectures are interesting a gets everyone engaged. I'm so sad that this semester and our time with him is over. If i get the chance to have him as a lecturer again, I'm taking it in a heartbeat!
Professor Kimber is awesome! Get ready to do assignments because its ALOT!!!!!! 7 HWs, midterm take-home, final take-home, group project, writing activity, & 7 mini-quizzes. The homework takes most of your time and you'll feel discourage and start to procrastinate but its worth it in the end because the homework is worth 50% of your overall grade.
Loved him. He really got us thinking and he LOVES what he does. He is very passionate and made us really question the way we think and the foundations of what we believe. He works with students, and takes late work.
I LOVE this prof, seriously. He was recommended to me by my co-worker and I loved him. He's so cool, amazing lectures, he knows about so many things, talked to us about different stuff other than phi, he has a butterfly garden... Just take him, you won't be disappointed.
TAKE THIS CLASS. If you want an interesting and easy A take it. This class really picks your brain and really gets you thinking. I also think I loved this class more because as a professor he loves what he does and it shows. The homework can seem a little overwhelming but only if you procrastinate. if you apply yourself you will get an A. TAKE HIM!
I loved his lectures, and he cares about his students. He is the best! I would take him again if I could 100%
Great prof. Really enjoyed his lectures. He is what made me wanna be a philosophy major.
Professor Kimber is awesome. He is super nice and genuine, gives great and lengthy feedback.. always responds! Lectures are super interesting but ALOT OF WRITING!!!!! Would take hours to complete homeworks to get an A. Dont buy all the books he only used one.. get ready to read and type. But easy A if you put the work in.
Dr. Kimber is literally the best thing since the invention of Oreo's! He is absolutely inspirational and super caring! He wants to make sure you understand the material... so yes, there is a lot of homework and a lot of writing.. but its so worth it! Easiest A+ to boost your GPA! Take him.. you will not regret it!
I'll start by saying, Prof. Kimber is a great professor and is very passionate about philosophy, he made me become more conscious of my surrounds and have an appreciation for philosophy. With that being said, you're forewarned that this class is not easy. Be prepared to learn, because it's time to bring out the reading glasses, you'll need them.
For the first time, heading back to campus. I felt excited and Professor Kimber was welcoming and his lectures and homework make you think a lot so you can look into things deeper for your understanding. The homework is a little long but he gives you extra time to finish. I enjoyed Professor Kimber's class & I would take it again!
Literally made an account just to write this. Great Professor. Interesting class. Gives good feedback on assignments.
Best prof I've had. Caring, always gives feedback. Fair amount of hw each week for a sess2, but I managed my time wisely and always finished hw's on time. If you do the prep q's you'll be fine with the rest. It's ethics so you infer your own knowledge. Classes are reviews for units instead of lectures being first. Syllabus is your bff to keep track
Professor Kimber is fantastic! I loved his lectures as they were very informational and helped you with the homeworks. The homeworks are a lot of work and can be overwhelming at times. But absolutely try your best and turn it in on time and then youll be good! Take his class!!! He made ethics so fun!!!
Professor Kimber is an amazing professor. I took the course in a 6-week session and had no issues keeping up.
Great Professor. Makes the class entertaining even though the topics can sometimes be boring. Funny and really caring. I recommend this professor if you don't like the class but are looking for a good professor. Flexible with turning in homework and quizzes.
Great professor, really cares about his students. There are 2 exams and mini quizzes on each chapter. The homeworks are a bit heavy but they help you the day of lecture. He does get off topic and its critical you read the book to get a better understanding. Theres also a writing assignment to be done. He gives GREAT feedback which I enjoy.
Proffesor Kimber is hands down the best professor I have ever had or will ever have the pleasure of having again. I took him for an 8 week Intro to Phil. There is a lot of reading and depending on the effort you put in, the homework can be a lot. However, you can look forward to very detailed and personalized feedback on all the work you turn in.
Very kindhearted and passionate about philosophy! The homework assignments are tedious and classes could get boring at times since it is very lecture heavy. There is one group project and he always encourages you to talk to your peers at the beginning of class about the current lesson. Did a great job as a professor and highly recommend :)
The class is very fast-paced, and there is a lot of homework that can be time consuming, but it is definitely doable and interesting. I actually looked forward to going to class, and his lectures were very interesting because he was so passionate about philosophy. Would highly recommend this professor, he made philosophy very enjoyable.
Professor Kimber was amazing! He was truly my favorite professor, I loved the lectures he did in. He's thorough and ensures everyone understands the homework, the textbook and anything spoken about during class. 10/10 class!
Absolutely loved this professor! His lectures were always really interesting and he seemed passionate about the topics. Just stay caught up, he's super caring and understanding, so if you ever have an issue you can go to him.
Proffesor K. is one of the best professors I have ever had the pleasure of taking at Broward College. He gives amazing feedback and will always go above and beyond for his students. He is extremely passionate about his subject and makes it interesting. He will also keep students updated in the school activities. Highly recommend
A very kind, inspirational, and caring professor. It was my own fault that I got a C.
amazing professor, great and humorous lectures. lots of material to cover, much of which offers thought and is interesting in of itself. lots of homework as well, but for being a short session 2 class it works out well. highly recommend him alongside the topic he teaches.
I took his classes(intro to philosophy and ethics) over the summer and didn't regret any of it. He got me interested in philosophy. He did what other professors failed to do and that was to get me curious to learn more. I would recommend classes lectured by him any day of the week, but be prepared to spend some time completing his assignments.
Homework is long, but decently easy. Even if you cannot finish your homework on time, he's very lenient and gives to the end of semester to finish it. Make sure to submit his midterm and final on time. He's interactive with his students and incorporates the content of the class into games and group discussions. Great professor, great person.
Professor Kimber was a great professor and passionate about the subject. The class was pretty easy and he helped you think outside the box. He was genuine and gave you great feedback! He cares about his students and wants them to grow and learn! I really enjoyed his class and learned more than I thought I would. Would definitely take him again!
Made this account just so I could give him a rating. Great teacher who is (extremely) passionate about what he teaches. His passion makes the class and lectures a lot more interesting. There is a decent amount of homework but nothing too hard. He also gives amazing feedback and you can tell he really wants the best for his students.
Professor Kimber is so passionate about what he teaches. He is truly a great professor and focuses a lot on what the students are interested in learning. There is a lot of homework that is lengthy, however he gives you a lot of time to complete it and is pretty lenient with late work.
Best Prof I've ever encountered. His assignments might be considered a lot but theyre not tough to answer. Not a tough grader, allows extra time on asmts if need be, he is very kind, and he loves what he teaches which is great because he takes his time to share that with his students, this class was very fun and lectures are great.
Very respected Prof. he is passionate about what he teaches which is important in a course like philosophy, he always takes the time to ask his students if they are understanding the topics, which is great because he does take the time to give explanations in great detail. Be prepared to have your mind expanded for the better, you will be glad.
Best professor at BC. Took this class during session 2 of the summer . There was a decent amount of work due every week since it was only a 6 week class, however , this professor made everything very easy and accessible. He is also very lenient with late work as well. You can tell he is very passionate about what he teaches and I respect that .
Lots to learn from his lectures w/ lots of critical thinking and analysis, loved his lectures bc he's very thorough/well versed with his knowledge. Shows lots of enthusiasm- he's a very organized, receptive, & understanding person. Stay on top of assignments! Read and understand these are great concepts to carry for the rest of time! Do Good
Professor Kimber makes this class engaging with his passion and sense of humor. The workload is manageable if you stay on top of the assignments. Unstuck ai and the free textbook are helpful study tools alongside the lectures.
Prof Kimber is the best to be honest with you. YOU SHOULD TAKE HIM POINT BLANK PERIOD. His homework is a lot, but I took him for a session two course, he is also very understanding with you, and he is overall a good professor. 10/10
Professor Kimber is a GREAT professor. He is very understanding and you can tell that he is passionate about what he does. He also gives great feedback, ready to answers questions and also gives extra time for assignments if you need it. He also does his best to connect the lectures and assignments to real life.Take professor with no hesitation.
I LOVED HIM! He was my first professor, and the experience was AMAZING. I wasn't initially into philosophy at first, but his teaching style, use of music, and outside resources made it engaging. I loved seeing selfies of his former students with philosophy books around the world. If you're reading this, Mr. Kimber, you rock!
I thought this class was going to be boring but I was completely wrong. He's lectures are fascinating and he makes it interactive which was awesome. The only downside is that his hw can be tedious and long but he isn't critical when grading. Even if you think his class will be boring I bet you'd enjoy having discussions with him.
Great professor. You can tell he loves philosophy, and that's why he's teaching it. There's a lot of homework due weekly, though, and they're easy but super tedious, so keep that in mind. Also, there's a lot of textbook reading, but just the pdf and his 'prep questions' to ChatGPT and ask for a summary. Free textbook on annas archive
He's an amazing professor and I'll be taking him again for another class.
The sweetest professor ever. Very smiley, always nice, builds the curriculum based on what the students want. Loved his butterfly and bird pictures! The only thing is that it's very heavy on homework. Easy to get an A, though, as long as you complete it.
If u take any class in the field of Philosophy, take him! He is SO devoted to his subject & wants to see EVERY student succeed! His homework is due before every class, & his lectures are very well done and helpful, especially for a subject that is mainly questions. Def take his class at a time where your brain is running though, go ready to think!!
He gives good amounts of extra credit and for the midterm/final, most of the questions were part of a take-home packet, so you could go at your own pace.
Very good prof, and the assignments were basically all done at home.
