Very demanding, but one of the best.

expects alot, but as long as your willing to do it, he's great. very understanding if you have a real problem.

he expects mountains of preparation. if you come to class with that, it's a very enjoyable experience! generally, Kitchell walks in and humor ensues.

Best prof I've ever had.

Class is usually pretty good: some dry humor, lots of interesting stuff. One of my favorite classes.

funny guy

His greek myth class was fu. dont ever fall asleep in it or not have a seat----CUZ HE WILL PUT U ON THE SPOT. very fun class.

Not a bad guy. He's stern at times, and at other times can be funny.

One of my favorite classes ever taken. Don't make him angry though.

he is very strict, easy class if you just show up to class. he gives out pop quizes to make sure you do, but they are fairly easy. the tests are easy as well (multiple choice), mostly identification type of questions.

Good Teacher, Funny, Very strict though. Have to go to class for unnannounced quizzes. Recommend. Def. get the Mad-Dasher notes too.

good teacher, but goes out of his way to be extra obnoxious to those who offend him.

awesome teacher...u gotta keep up with the reading..dont fall asleep, turn ur phone off, and dont knit!! lol

I already had a general knowledge of greek myth before taking this class. But Kitchell is a funny professor who made the subject even more interesting. The reading material is enjoyable when you're bored. Quizzes/tests were straightforward.

Easy class, interesting lectures, and FINALLY a teacher who can control a large class!

awsome class

I like that he can control a large class. Sometimes he can be a little bit offensive and his jokes do get old but he is a good professor and the fact that he can be a real jerk makes lectures more fun. Sometimes class can get pretty boring. If you do all the readings youwill have no problem.

awesome teacher, but doesn't take any ****, pop quizzes are regular, but are very easy esp. if you read. Not really that tough even if you didn't read. Have had him for 2 years is very entertaining. take any of his classes!

This guy demands too much from a student. He has lots of pop quizes and you have to do the readings. The tests are multiple choice, but you have to read the books. He is real cocky and un-interesting.

the man is semi-crazy, and expects a lot from his students, but it is definetly a good course to take and he makes the material interesting and easy. the tests are directly from the notes with no surprises...pop quizzes in class..but they are really easy..definetly take this course

Very clear in how he likes things to be done. Helpful, but you need to make the effort to go to see him. Work load is a fair amount, but you HAVE to go to class.

Kitchell can come off as a jerk, but he really wants his students to learn. You have to put in some effort, but it's worth it; Kitchell is a great teacher.

knows how to keep a class engaged. strict, but very fair. if you don't do well, you're either an idiot or you missed lectures like i did.

Definition of having an EGO. He treats most students like crap, but his class is easy if you go to the lectures. The structure is set up in a way that anybody can get an A. If you have a problem with authority though, don't take this class.

I loved this class and always was disappointed to leave each session. A really funny guy but you have to get his type of humour. He can come off as being strict and mean but he nice and is fine as long as you obey the rules which are clearly laid out at the first class. A pretty easy class workload wise as well. My favorite class so far.

Kitchell can certainly be rude at times, but the class itself is quite enjoyablet, as there is much to be learned. Difficulty-wise, the class really isn't that challenging; master all of the on-line study games, and you'll do fine. It should be noted, however, that a few of his test questions are badly worded, and thus difficult to answer.

Kitchell is an enthusiastic professor who knows a lot and understands what is important in education. However, tests are easy. Attendance is a must as random quizzes count 30% of your grade. You'll have to put some work into this class but you'll get something out of it at least. For the exams all questions are questions found in online games.

Prof. Kitchell doesn't take any crap. This rubs many people the wrong way, but his large classes are well managed. He is the only large class professor I've had who doesn't have students being disruptive during class. He is great at relating classical antiquity to the modern world.

golden age. "FEET OFF THE FURNITURE, YA TROLLS!" "ugly as the south end of a northbound baboon" This guy is a gem! all those bad things are definitely true- but there are a lot of great moments that make it all worth it. You learn a lot and it's very interesting, but if you don't sit up straight and keep your eyes forward he'll probably kill you

One of the best profs. I've had. Keeps his lecture on a whip, which is nice if you actually want to listen. You learn alot. Tests are tough, but not impossible. Good guy.

...I thought it was really easy. very interesting guy, very funny, rekindled my interest in myth. Highly recommend it, if you pay attention and show up there is no reason you can't get a B.

interesting class, major reading, tests suck no mater how much you study...it ruined my gpa..only take class if you are a f"cking genius who likes to read instead of going out

Give Prof. Kitchell a break. He's a good guy. All of the previous reviews sound like they're coming from people who are too lazy to go to class or put any effort into school. You can't just expect to sit back and get an A for doing nothing. Yes, this class requires that you read the textbook, but the tests are completely fair if you do the work.

yes the class is hard... but the test werent as bad as everyone makes them out to be. if you read and do the online quizs... the class isnt so difficult

This is a hard class unless you study. I studied alot before each exam and aced his class with ease. You need to go to every class and do all your reading if you want to get an A. It takes hard work but its defniitely possible to get an A.

lots of reading. behave in class and be sure u go for the pop quizes. if he has something else to attend to the ta's usually give u a quiz and tell u the one answer. using the online study guides helps GREATLY. almost all of the test questions come off of them. mediocre class... not extremely easy but not really too hard

Excellent professor. If you cant handle him then youre a wuss. Grow up and learn something.

Professor Kitchell can come off a little arrogant and bitter, but I don't think that is the case. He is an old school guy who expects respect and if you don't act up in class (like the TAs do at times), then he will not embarass you. The exams are rather challenging at times but if you read, you should do rather well.

Dr.Ke is fantastic. He requires you to work hard and think, and rewards you for it. Truly one of the gems of my entire college career. I learned so much from him. But attitude is paramount-if you don't care, he sees that, and why should he care about you? Put effort into learning and he'll give you guidance, learning, and some great stories.

this guy is awesome. He is so eager for students to learn and will do pretty much anything to teach them.

I liked this guy. He is SO funny. You should definitely go to class because although lectures are online, there's a lot of info he says but won't be online. He is very interested in getting you to know the material and how to write, etc. Take it.

Great guy. Funny and unconventional. Loves to teach and really cares that the students learn.

I absolutely loved this class. Kitchell is a great guy who has a real passion for Greek civ, and he keeps the class interesting. His stories and jokes are great additions to his lectures. There were 3 tests, and a few small writing assignments relating to plays that we read. None of the work is hard but I recommend reading and going to class.

I've had this professor two semesters in a row now and he doesn't disappoint. He's humorous, challenging, and he sure knows what he's doing and he's renowned in the Classics field.
