you can tell he enjoys the subject, but without a textbook, I feel a little lost

I've had him for two semester now and I can say that this guy is really cool! If you make an effort his class is actually really fun!

Great teacher and a truly nice person. I loved his class. He is a very interesting kind man who has a passion for what he teaches. I studied a lot and learned a lot.

Challenging class but he is a very compassionate teacher who takes an honest interest in the success of his students. Very interesting and quite knowledgeable in this field. There is no text book so you must be able to attend class on a regular basis. You get back exactly what you put into this class.

Attendance is key in this class and as long as your there,it's the best class. He makes his class become important and the most interesting. I honestly didn't want to take this class but had too. It is now my favorite class that i've taken!

Very important to take a lot of notes. He is tough on the first month then he loosens up after. I enjoyed his class very much and learned a lot. Field Trip to San Francisco was awesome.

This class is eye opening and very informative. You will learn and study what is going on in the world today and the problems you can help solve. You must attend class and keep up on reading, everything you are tested on relates to the material assigned and gone over in class. It is impossible to fail if you go to class and do the work. Professor i

Take this professor! He is very enlighting and has a lot of information on events that are currently going on in the world. He will empower you and show you that YOU can make a difference in the world. This class is extremely easy if you do what is assigned (like any other class) The fieldtrips are fun. Documentaries are watched in class, INTERESTI

Mr Kensinger is an excellent teacher who has a lot of knowledge in many different disciplines,which is the purpose of studying Humanities in the 1st place. To educate & produce well rounded people who can communicate on many levels. This is a great class and a great teacher! For those who disagee, you missed it. Try participating it makes a differ

I learned a lot about architecture structure & architect. That might sound nerdy or boring but I can assure you I’m far from a nerd and his class is far from boring! Everyday we left w/ something newly learned. The knowledge, experience and his method of teaching is awesome! I highly suggest every student that attends Chabot should take his Humn.

Mr. Kensinger’s an refreshing instructor whose teaching style challenges his students to grow by requiring them to be fully present as they are exposed to new ideas in art, literature, film, architecture, history etc. with fabulous lectures, class discussions and awesome field trips. He’s a fabulous instructor teaching a fantastic course.

Keary was a wonderful professor. He really opened my eyes to some things I see everyday but never really noticed. Because of him I have greater appreciation of the Humanities and the world I live in. He took the class on a field trip to the city to explore some of architecture. He provided in depth and insightful information on the tour. I highly r

SUPER EASY CLASS!!..JUS STUDY FOR THE QUIZES AND TAKE NOTES..HE IS VERY HANDS ON SOO U WONT SLEEP!!..I DUN KNOW WAT THE PEOPLE BELOW R SAYING BUT HIS TESTS ARE DIRECTLY FROM LECTURE ONLY IF U TAKE NOTES.MAKE FLASHCARDS CUZ IT WILL B EASIER WHEN IT COMES TO STUDYING.

This class was very interesting and he was an easy going teacher to learn from. He inspired me to look more into the humanities discipline. The SF field trip was awesome! It helps to see the architecture first hand. I recommend the class. Mr. K is flexible if you miss class. Important tip: TAKE NOTES & YOU'LL PASS THE CLASS!

This class was truely a great exdperience. i truely believe that i have taken my level of understanding to a higher level. Take good notes, pay attention, and take the class because this is one teacher you dont want to miss. -Ed Ucare

Mr. Kesinger is a GREAT instructor. His instruction is clear. His tests are very detailed so you have to pay attention. This is not a fly by class, you have got to read the books and pay attention. He opened my mind to many things! Great CLASS!

I've taken architecture history classes before and I thought this class would just be review, so I was surprised to find myself really enjoying this class. Keary is a great teacher. He is very laid back and he makes the class fun. He says this class isn't an easy A, but it's not that hard either. Definitely worth taking!

THIS WAS THE BEST CLASS OF MY LIFE. MR. K. IS A BRILLIANT PROFESSOR, AND A GREAT PERSON. HE IS SMART AND FUNNY, AND SO HELPFUL. HE MAKES SURE YOU KNOW HOW TO USE YOUR PERSONAL WARRIOR TO YOUR ADVANTAGE.HE HAS SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE ABOUT LIFE AND THE HUMANITIES SUBJECT. HE IS THE PERFECT FIT FOR THIS CLASS. EVERYONE SHOULD TAKE THIS CLASS.MR K YOU ROCK!

I LOVE THIS TEACHER. I AM SO GLAD THAT I WAS ABLE TO BE IN HIS CLASS MY FIRST SEMESTER OF COLLEGE, BECAUSE HE OPENED UP MY EYES EVEN MORE AND MADE THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE FUN, AND ALWAYS HELPED U LEARN ALOT ABOUT LIFE AND YOURSELF. I LOVE THE CLASS AD WHAT HE BRINGS TO YOU AS A PERSON. HE IS WONDDERFUL, LOVE YOU MR K!!!

Keary is a really cool guy, he really knows what he's talking about and shares all sorts of information with his students. His passion for teaching and architecture really shows through his lectures. Easy to get along with, very accessible, willing to help students. He's awesome!

This guy is the suga honey iced tea he's so freakin cool man i would reccommend whoever to take this course because you'll like it i'm sure. something as simple as a building has meaning to me now. The architect portion was the most interesting.

His the top and off that tip was like a waterfalls that will quench your innocence.

Makes you feel like you're on a journey instead of a boring lecture. Throws in creative phrases and commands the class like a happy captain. And if you dislike Humanities, this guy has a high chance of converting you before the end of the course. Every class is filled with wonder and excitement.

Kessinger is very educated, fun to listen to, and sarcastic (in a comical way). He gives tests from the 2nd day of class and on, therefore you must study! This is very important to you newbie?s. The class only had one book and required cool fieldtrips and watching movies!! It?s pretty sweet. This class is a must-take.

Im not sure how well i did with the multiple choice above, but this professor is great. Don't get me wrong if you don't want to work, this isn't the class for you. But he made the class a lot of fun, the material easy to understand. And I would recommend this professor to anyone who asked.

Mr. Kensinger is a cool teacher. Not saying that its a "breeze class" but, like every other class be on top of what needs to be done and it will all fall into place. After take the "American Style" class I will admit that your surroundings will take on a new meaning. I mean not only can I observe dentils in architecture, I can decipher buildings to

Great teacher! Goes beyond the subject matter and relates to real world experiences. Lectures and material are well thought out. You have to put in some time and effort but definitely worth it. Extremely helpful in preparing you for a four year institution. Better than most of my Professors at UC Berkeley (where I eventually transferred to).

I took Hum 65 last semester and thoroughly enjoyed it. Mr. Kensinger has organized a stimulating and fun curriculum. You go on two field trips to SF and watch a number of films that he thinks the class would enjoy. As long as you attend all the classes and do all assignments, there is no reason you shouldn't succeed. I was sad when the class ended!

Mr. keary brings you to a point in this class where the motivated warrior, comes out of you, not only do you learn about the origin of words, but also the architecture of todays society and all beautiful structures around. This class will help you get knowledge on great films as well. I didn't know what humanities was but now I do. thanks mr. k.

Hands down, this is the best! Does not compare to any other class or subject. Mr. Kensinger is your "teaching soul mate." Through films, literature, architecture, & 2 fieldtrips Kesinger will help you take your accomplishments to the next level! At any age this class will enrich you! Bonus..this may fullfil two of your grad. requirements.

I really enjoyed his class,I had to get up early on Saturdays, yet I did not mind I was looking forward to the class. He really LIT A FIRE in me. He made the class interesting, we had to take notes,be there on time, go to field trips yet, he was there to answer e- mails and doubts.The teachers that are tough are the one you always remember u learn

This professor is very serious about what he does and the deicated time that he takes out each week for his students. he has helped me to understand culture around me and pointed me in a direction to my own fullfillment of "the heroic Journey" if your a serious student who needs a little push i suggest you take humanities with Kensinger.

Best class ever.

First, can I say Kerry walks on water! He's the best. A class that I recommend everyone should take and experience. He teaches not just what's useful for school, but for everyday life such as your morals, and how to cross that threshold from your boring, lazy, and unchallanging life to a new and refreshing motivational start. He's that extra boost!

TAKE THIS CLASS, ESSENTIAL AND EXTREMELY FUN. class teaches you about your heroic journey and the affect actions have on yourself and others, the professor works to build your inner warrior, every class was better than the last. Take the class, stick with it, and you will be a better version of yourself for it afterwords.

AWESOME FUN CLASS & GREAT TEACHER. You'll be amazed by the things you learn about architecture & films. I also got a better understanding of who I am & how to be successful in life. Take Mr. K. seriously, take TIME to do the work & you'll be fine. Students need a teacher to inspire them and give them a chance to do well...he's the real deal.

Frankly this has been one of the most interesting classes that i have attended recently. The Professor was very helpful and the advice and guidance that he gives goes beyond the academics and is very helpful in overall approach of your mission. He becomes a soul-mate and is so much focussed on seeing you succeed.***** best.

great teacher.freindly, clearly nows what the material he is teaching. is all about students learing to get thier life together so they can succeedd in life and his class. work is easy to follow but its challenging so one must applied his/her self to really understand the subject. best teacher overall strongly recommends

If your looking to take a humanities.You have to take this instructor!!I was putting this class off for 2 years because I thought it would be dead boring. But I have to say its been one of the best classes I have ever taken.He's an awesome teacher. He comes off strong but the knowledge you'll gain from him is priceless "loved the Dubai Buildings"

You should take this class early in your undergrad work. It will help you in other areas. Everything he teaches is relevent. Best class I've taken at Chabot! If you read the book, attend class, do the work, you will get an A. Woman Warrior is a great book says Brave Orchid. The films were great but the SF field trips was teh best part!

Professor Kensinger is one of the most influential professors at Chabot College. His course California Architecture and Urban Design made me fall in love with architecture all over again. His lectures are amazing and the field trips to parts of the bay area give you a fresh new perspective on our home town. Take this class, it's worth it!

Mr. K clearly knows his information. He loves to share stories, whether it relates to the subject or just because it's interesting. He keeps it old school with slides; which if I may, is a forgotten art! The class works as field trips, lectures, and note taking. Basically, any way you can absorb the information Mr. K radiates. Extremely fun class.

Mr. K. knows how to teach and and make learning fun. I really enjoyed having him as a teacher and maybe in the future I will have the opportunity to take another hummanities class with him.

If you want to learn the basics of architecture, Mr. Kensinger does well to teach you them. He has a very benign sense of humor and care for his students. Field trips are interesting and adventurous. Take his class!! Take it!!

Mr.Kensinger is a great teacher he let me add the class two days late and he helped me catch up. I learned so much being in his class. People how were just taking the class for fun even learned a lot

Mr. K. is one of the crown jewels of Chabot. I took his Saturday class and he made every hour worth attending. If you're thinking of taking a Humanities class, you definitely want to take Mr. K's class. He is one of the best teachers I've ever had. He gave me the gift of wanting to learn more. It's not an easy A, but will be if you come prepared.

Best teacher by far at Chabot. I took his Tuesday night class and it was a complete learning experience. He's a great professor and is very passionate about the arts. I learned so much in his class and he's inspired to continue school. It's a pretty easy class, so long as you STUDY and do the work :)

This Teacher made the information interesting and easy to understand. Strait forward and to the point, but amazing. He really knows his stuff and he really enjoys sharing it with the class. He's a fun guy, always making jokes and keeping the class light heart-ed. He also really wants his students to succeed, and will help how he can.

Although his class is a bit unorganized, professor kensinger is an amazing teacher, he knows his stuff. He really cares about his students, and there are loads of fieldtrips. The class is extremey time consuming but you learn a LOT. You definitely should take it!

Mr. Kensinger is a great teacher he is very patient and caring. His class is not boring for a Saturday class. My mom and I took his class together.In his class we went on field trips to SF. Just remember for his class you have to take good notes, get into good study groups before or after class and you will be able to pass his class. Take his clas

mr kensinger is pretty strict. but as long as you do your part, he will be easy on you. at first i didnt like him because i thought that he was rude. but towards the end of the semester. he became really nice and helpful.

Mr. K is awesome! It was a great way to learn a variety of material. He taught the course in a way that reminded me of native american storytelling. Where he tells us a main story that has stories within the story (that carry lessons or meanings) and how it is all tied together. I liked how the class progressed forward and always reached back.

Mr. K!! He was definitely a great Professor. I went from disliking Humanities into treasuring it. I have took alot from this course. Though every Saturday morning was a drag to get out of bed but coming to class and listening to him and fellow classmates talk, was a pleasure. I recommend him to everyone!! Thanks Mr.k =)

Kearey was a fantastic teacher that actually opened my eyes to a completely differnt world. He is tough on attendance but relaxed on Issues and si willing to work with you as long as your willing to do the work.

Great class! I learned so much in such a short time. This professor really enjoys his career as an educator and gives everything he has to make our learning experience count. If you RESPECT the material and give all you have, you will see how his course relates to everyday life and your surroundings. This class will challenge you as a student 4sure

Hooked from the very first lecture!It made me see the world differently.He’s personable and opens up about his journey letting you know that you are not alone in your conquest to return to school.I’m sad the class is over because I feel like there are so many other things to learn. As long as you get real and give your all you can take so much away

Mr. Kensinger's class is very interesting and he is a very good teacher. He is great on what he does and I’m happy to have taken his class because it was a learning journey which it made me see life differently.

Class only once a week and there is almost a quiz every class session. The class is fairly easy but if you miss a day you probably will regret it!!

Amazing teacher.

This is a fantastic class! The fieldtrips are amazing and you'll find out so many interesting historical facts.

This class will help you realize how serious about architecture (if you want to become one)The class is much like a labyrinth if I may say. At first you have no idea what youre doing and may feel like quitting but once you realize what Professor K wants it will be much easier. He makes the field trips very interesting and you end up knowing so much

Great class. My passion is architecture (esp. the Arts & Crafts era). Students who want to become architects, this class enables you to communicate in the architectural world. Go to class, take good notes, write your chapter as soon as you return from your field trip, so you will pass the tests. Very engaging teacher-students need to engage too!

Slow start but once you learn his style of teaching you TOTALLY APPRECIATE IT. He keeps the class moving i.e. makes it enjoyable by adding in humor and encouraging participation. I was happy to learn all of the different aspects of humanities and apply it to my life. Very enjoyable class and great teacher!

The class and the teacher are both outstanding. The class has a character of its own and each chapter you add to the book you create adds to your character and how you look at the world around you. This class is a who's who of architecture in California and is definitely one of the finest in opening your eyes to all the details aroun you. Take note

This class is not easy but it’s not hard. He provides the tools needed to succeed and the rest is up to you. Mr. Kensinger makes the lectures and field trips enjoyable because he is passionate about what he’s teaching. His wealth of knowledge is an advantage and after this class you will never look at buildings the same.

Mr. K's passion about architecture radiates through his teachings. I've always admired building architectures but taking his class makes me appreciate the little details put into each design. Spending Saturday mornings on field trips is something to look forward to especially if one can get inside buildings that are normally closed to public.

Mr. K's passion on architecture radiates on his teachings. He makes it fun and interesting which is really helpful on Saturday mornings. Field trips are fun since sometimes, you are given opportunities to view buildings that are not open to the public. Since taking his class, I've come to appreciate designs more than ever.

Not an easy class, students must be engaged, class participation is a requirement. Students have to do the work, period. Communication important, if you're having problems tell him. Wonderful teacher, he cares and he enjoy teaching his subjects. Great experience.

great class (books,movies, and architecture) the mandatory field trips were nice , learned about architecture ! his make up quizzes were great , you had to watch a movie he assigned and answer questions based on that week's topic (ie film noir). greatest part of his class was learning about femme fatales . just remember to pay attention and study

He prepares you for his weekly quizzes, which is a good thing. However, him assigning filmsdocumentaries are a downer for me since they're difficult to find on your own. His field trips are worthwhile. If you do all of the work, it's an easy A. Overall, he is an inspirational teacher, and he tries to get along with his students for better effect.

Mr. Kensinger has a lot of knowledge and expertise in the Architecture world. He is very passionate about this subject and does everything he can to help students understand and learn about things we don't realize we see everyday. I thoroughly enjoyed his class and most everyone did. Those who didn't were not participating or doing the homework.

Mr. K is an excellent instructor who is very passionate about architecture and the arts. Be prepared to take notes and respect the course material. Studying in groups is very beneficial. Field trips are awesome! Films assigned are enlightening. Class is challenging but fun. Class introduces you to a whole new world. Highly recommend!

Mr. K's passionate with what he does. Respect the lecture and studying with groups will be beneficial. Field trips are awesome! Get ready to open your eyes on things you think you know!

I took the Humanities 60 class in the fall of 2015. I found the lectures and field trips fascinating. If you study the handouts the tests are easy. If you watch the films he assigns, those tests are easy too. Mr. Kensinger is a really interesting person who sees the world differently than most of us. It's truly an interesting view- JT

He makes it clear to you from the beginning - this is a Mature Adult Class. Not serious about your education, don't waste your time. Lots of "sense-making" and "thought-provoking" lectures. Participation and attendance matters (c'mon, it's once/wk!) He's a great teacher in terms of wanting you to succeed. Challenge your inner warrior!

I never thought an Architecture class would teach me so much about the history of California through buildings! I really enjoyed this class! I always looked forward to the lectures and field trips. Mr K was so helpful and friendly. He really loves what he does and wants you to pass, but you do have to put in the effort, trust me take the class!

If you aren't in the PACE program yet, you need to join. You will encounter teachers in this program that inspire you and make you look forward to coming to school. Mr. K is the teacher you never forget. He challenges you, supports you, and inspires you. The field trips were fun and the class atmosphere fosters a true sense of community.

Mr. K exceeded my expectations. It was my first college class in a few years so to say I was hesitant is an understatement. However, he helped me find an appreciation for the humanities through the films he assigned, the field trips and even the group projects. I would definitely take a class with him again.

A class first thing Saturday morning is a constant test on your academic goals. Professor Kensinger is well aware of this fact and makes the course material relevant and engaging. Homework volume is more than reasonable but should not be put off until the last minute. Editing a book was much tougher than I initially thought.

Mr. K has years of experience with architecture. He is very passionate about teaching what he knows. The semester requirement is a book based on the lectures and field trips. You see the architecture 1st hand. This course is for serious student only. Attendance and the completion of the book are required to pass. You will work hard, and learn a lot

Prof. Kensinger is a great man! he's cares about his student and knows how important it is for us to work in teams and learn from each other. I met great friends from studying together. You leave the class knowing about Architecture for sure! the filed trips are great and you have lots of fun! i will say you must study and be prepared to take quiz.

Mr K. is one of the most passionate professors I have ever had the pleasure to be educated by. He puts everything he has in to the class and every student that participates leaves with a new outlook on life. You will need to study, you will need to participate, but trust me it's worth it.

This was the most rewarding class! Attendance, attentiveness, and hard work are required, but you will never look at a city the same way again. Mr. K continually drops pearls of life-altering wisdom based on not only being an educator, but being well-traveled and having oodles of life experience. Well worth the effort!

I took Mr K for three classes: Creativity and the Community (HUMN60), California Architecture (ARCH14) and The Artful Life (HUMN50). In each of these classes, he opened my eyes to the unique ways humans make meaning out of their lives. You need to show up and respect the material (look at again and again). I changed my major because of his classes.

Mr. Kensinger is firm but fair. His goal is to have you "take, break and return" the lesson in his class. He wants to know and see you put your best effort in learning, obtaining and even sharing what you've learned. He appreciates participation and honest interest in what he is teaching. Show up consistently and show effort and you will succeed!

I recently took Mr. Kensinger, the class was nothing I expected. Before I write a review on his awesome personality I will say the following: 1. There are field trips so I would advise u to keep this in mind when you create your class schedule. 2. If you miss ANY classes u will fall behind. 3. Be ready to think outside the box. 4. Participate!!!

Tests are NOT multiple choice but if you attend class and pay attention, you'll be fine. He assigns movies to watch for homework, ensure you watch them as there is always a test on it, if you pay attention to the entire movie, the tests will be easy. There is no textbook but there are field trips so attend every class and every field trip!

I think it's comical that people think this guy is difficult. This is College and you have to be present in class instead of constantly texting, missing classes and not accomplishing simple assignments. If you miss class, ensure u get notes and assignments from a fellow student or u may screw yourself. he field trips take a few hours so plan ahead.

I personally believe that, Arch 14, could not be conducted by a more qualified candidate than Professor Kensinger. He is extremely knowledgeable yet open to debate and question, very approachable and a classic old school personality. Aside from the knowledge, it is the some of the best guilt-free/ out of the house/ away from the kids, reason.

Taking his Creativity & the Community class right now. Has lots of passion for what the subject, makes class interesting. Jokes with students. Only real complaint is that grades aren't posted online, can be hard to know how you're doing. I'm probably going to finish the class with a C, but I haven't been studying. There are quizzes every Tuesday.

This class is for REAL. No online JUNK, in class lecture, but out of the class real world learning. Education that makes you want to change the world and learn more about it. This is a class that should NEVER leave the school. I've learned so much from my professor and classmates. I hope I will be in contact with all for the rest of my life.

Took two classes with Professor K and wish I could take another. He is firm but fair, do the work and pay attention and you will get a good grade. The field trips were great , he knows his architecture and wants you to learn. Show some respect, and get some respect.. take, break and return. You'll understand if you take the class, don't miss it!

Boy this class was tough! Mr. K knows his stuff and makes you work for it, literally! Lots of walking but awesome hands on learning. I did find it difficult to keep up and recognize what to look for. DON'T SLACK OFF! Show RESPECT... You'll get it later.

WITH EDUCATION BECOMING MORE AND MORE A PRACTICE OF EMPTY MEMORIZATION AND REGURGITATION OF COURSE MATERIAL, ITS NO WONDER THERE IS AN EVIDENT LACK OF ENTHUSIASM SENSED IN OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM. MY HUMANITIES 60 CLASS WAS NOTHING LIKE THAT. NOT ONLY DID I FEEL A SENSE OF INTRIGUE BUT I ALSO EXPERIENCED A DIFFERENT LEVEL OF COMPREHENSION.

Mr. K is old school. The tests are not multiple choice, but I found paying attention in class and study the materials works wonders. It is all about showing respect to the course and give back what you've learned.
