Very Very Good

he really made me interested in a topic that i thought would be so boring.

great teacher... swears! ...... he's funny

Kemper is the man. Funny as hell. Never though govt. could be so fun.

showed the monty python in class. and he is a total hot prof... take this class

I loved politcs before I took the class, understood it after. Excelent Prof, but Jay Severen isn't that bad!!!

take him for anything you can!!! one of the best classes i've ever taken, and one of the best professors at BSC. plus he's cute ;o)

Good teacher, funny, laid back course. Show up and take the tests and you'll get an A.

very very cool, looks like dave matthews???

Pretty funny, young and energetic. Tests are easy if you study and if you have a knowledge of what the government is you don't need a book. only tests on stuff he says in class, so take good notes.

Best prof I've had at BSC. Hated history/gov't before the class, wanted to change my major to Pol Sci afterwards! He's very funny, relevant & intelligent - knows the material! His classes keep you involved. Good notes & participation will earn you an A.

He is a very good professor and he is one of the cutest around BSC!

Professor Kemper is one of the best professors at BSC. As long as you show up to classes and take good notes you can get an A. His tests are not hard if you pay attention and take good notes. Take as many classes as you can with him you won't regret it!!

Great prof!!...If you want to learn take him. He is funny and interesting and he knows his s***.

I suck in his class because I hardly ever go, but when I'm there, I'm entertained. He's really funny in an odd way, and is also really attractive. Definitely a Dave Matthews lookalike!

Teacher is extremely helpful if one has questions. It was a tough class, in that it was a night class (7:30-10:10PM). Teacher gives fair grading. I would take this teacher again if I had to.

Ahh, Kemper. One of my fav classes at BSC. He'd quote movies, swear, tell funny stories...i was so amused. He's a cutie aaaaaand I sweat Kemper. In terms of teaching, he was great, explained everything clearly, had a real love for the material. Easy A.

Easy course... Just show up for class and participate. He's cute too, so it's worth it. Lectures are actually interesting. Plays devil's advocate to keep students involved in debates. Cool dude!!! Made me want to switch majors. Didn't though....

Go to class+take notes=A. Only thing I didn't like was the fact that he was so late on our grades that everyone got an incomplete until he gave them to the registrar...very unprofessional. Other then that, I liked him, he's intelligent and funny.

He is a nice guy and really funny! Don't read! Don't even buy the book!! His essay tests are right from the notes.Make sure you study though because the questions are long and detailed. He takes forever to grade the tests though-FOREVER.

Intereting class if you like poli sci, test on notes, easy to follow. good prof

Excellent teaching style. Great personality, tests are challenging but rewarding.

Definately take him for PO 172, if you are even remotely interested in law take him, it is the easiest Poly sci concentration and he is an awesome advisor and great teacher, best i have ever had cares only about the students take his practicum course 2

Sense of humor adds to the class. He does press you to back up your points without making you feel like an ass if its wrong. Takes forever to hand back tests.

He is awesome! He is so funny. If you like the law and you go to class take his classes. You need to be there to pass the essay tests that he gives. All tests are cumulative and he expects a lot out of the students BUT he definitely gives you enough to meet those expectations.

He is very funny and keeps the class interesting. He plays a great devils advocate which keeps the debate going. Good class... all based on notes.

As long as you show up for this class and write stuff down you will do fine. I had no interest in this topic and I managed to get an A with minimum effot. I thought I was confused and didn't understand stuff, but clearly I did because I got A's on all the tests.

Interesting guy with a great sense of humor. Very understanding, but you must make effort to come to class. Tests are all essays which he gives you ahead of time. Tests are all from notes. Do not buy book, completely unnecessary!

adds humor to a subject that could easily be boring. tests come straight from class notes. very fair and one of my favorite teachers.

Great guy. I heard hes actually a standup comedian which makes sense because he is very funny. Grading is weird with only exams for grades but teaches good, all from notes and seems like the kind that would work with you.

This guy is fantastic. Really know's his stuff and injects some humor into the class lectures. Only drawback are the hard, all-essay tests, which were manageable if you pay attention and take lots of detailed notes.

Exams are hard. Must come to class and take detailed notes. Very funny!

Kemper gets a bad rep of giving hard tests but I never got below a 94 and I had him five times! Dr. Kemper is the reason that I added Poli Sci as a second major and he definitely helped shape the kind of student I became.

Kemper rocks. Not the easiest class in the world, but it's really thought-provoking. The all-essay exams can be hard, but he's not a tough grader. 15-page research paper is done in 3 segments. Was hoping to cover more topics than abortion, but class discussion, which was every class, was almost alwasy interesting . Oh, and the guy's SO damn funny.

great teacher sometimes class can seem long but kemper is really witty and fun to joke with. anwser any and all questions after class and makes you think and defend your postion worth taking!!!!

Tries hard to keep students interested in the material, which can be a bit dry if you're not a Poli Sci Major. Knows his stuff, but is kind of smart-alecky which probably comes with the territory of being a Poli Sci Professor. VERY good-looking, but also seems to be aware of it....Good class overall, take very good notes, and attend all classes.

Dr. Kemper isn't hard. Yea, he can be a little boring, but he's clear and he tries to make you think. He'll take a case and argue it 2-3 different ways, and then will ask for your input. The more you put into his class the more you get. His essay qs are off of what he spends 2 weeks talking about. No attendance policy, so your grade is wat u do.

Poli 199 Right to privacy. Its an alright class. They are very long. He can make 15 min feel like an hour. You have a really big essay i think 10 pages due at the end of sem. You read a lot of court cases. If can be interesting at times but be difficult to understand. You have to work hard for the A cause there is not a lot of assignments

Pretty good professor. Very nice if you need help. The only problem he really has in classes is he goes off on tangents about random things sometimes and you have to remind him what he was talking about. He can also be kind of funny at times too. I enjoyed his class.

Awesome professor! The lectures are extremely helpful. If you pay at least half attention you will do fine on the exams. Gives a midterm and final. Also does moot court for every law class. The first one sucks because no one has any idea what they're doing but, the more you do it, the easier and more fun it gets. Really funny guy and easy grader.

This class was one of the most confusing classes I have had. Kemper is very scattered during lectures and it is hard to keep up with him and take adequate notes. With no textbook, it is really important to get it all down in class-which is impossible. He takes over a month to give back exams. I would not take his class again.

Really good teacher. Likes a lot of class involvement, the class is basically just doing his readings (online, no book) as homework and then we all would have a conversation about different ideas. Tests were very challenging, all essays, including the final. Good teacher though, explains class material well.

good guy, funny. i like his tenacity and style. he is extremely intelligent and expects the same from his students. the readings are on blackboard and are pertinent to the lectures. dont miss classes! It is NOT easy reading and my advice is to take notes from your readings and study those notes before every class because he does surprise quizzes.

Ive had this guy a couple times and you have to have some kind of cognitive reasoning to take him. You absolutely cannot be an idiot or you will have a tough time. But if you are not an idiot take him he's awesome he makes his classes fun and challenging.

Awesome Professor! Keeps the class interesting and fun.The course work is hard but if you're here to learn something he would be a great professor to take. He knows what he's talking about and you'll definitely come out knowing so much more than before. No written homework, a few quizzes, one test. Lots of time for work to be completed

This guy is a great professor if you do not want to work do not take him. If you are willing to work and learn a lot about the material then his class is worth taking. You also get a few laughs throughout the semester with him.

Tough, but good and fair.

Kemper is a pretty solid professor. He breaks up lectures with jokes and movie references (impress him with knowledge of rock n roll and 1980's movies!) He gets off topic pretty easily but the class always gets back on track. He is very open about expressing his own views and publicly challenging those of students, so be aware of that.

He is a nice guy and clearly very intelligent! But, his class is very unorganized and the class is basically just talking about cases. I wish we talked more about the actual judicial process. We were graded on about 4 pop quizzes and one final. If you answer a question, prepare to have an explanation! Overall, pretty decent class and learned alot!

This guy is a genius. His lectures are fun and he really makes you stretch your mind. You need to make yourself known in the class. The lecture is really dependent on class discussion and if you don't speak up then you are unlikely to do well. You also need to stay on top of the readings because there a lots of surprise quizzes.

Great professor. Older comments say the final is an oral argument, this isn't the case anymore. Just pop quizzes and a final exam along with a final paper.

Kemper is a stand up guy but clearly overwhelmed with work. Class was a bit unorganized, syllabus was useless. No exams, just case readings and short essays as assignments. Longwinded lectures but also complex and valuable discussions around the constitution. Defnitely take his grad class over the alternative, he definitely keeps it interesting.

Very liberal and unorthodox when it comes to his courses. He recognizes that 95% of the people who take his course are Poli-Sci majors who want to be there, and therefore he trusts theyre interested in the subject. He assigns very few quizzes, no homework, but a bunch of reading. If you care about the subject, you will learn a lot and do well.

I love Kemper--took every one of his Constitutional Law classes and there was always a same group of familiar faces who obviously felt the same way. Treat his class like a seminar--a forum to argue, debate, and discuss law and its underlying principles. If you don't like to talk in class, it won't be your thing. Easy to do well if you pay attention

Kemper is really smart and knows his stuff. He facilitates a welcoming environment for students of all political leanings to share their opinions and knows how to run class. He does grade based on pop quizzes and only a few tests but if you come to class and actively engage, you'll do well. I am not a poli sci major but really enjoyed class.

I took this class for a credit that had nothing to do with my major and I honestly did not expect it to be as smooth sailing as it was! I have never taken a political class before but professor Kemper made it pretty clear. You have a few readings and then you submit a BB post. There's also 4 papers. The class is pretty solid and he's pretty nice!

Dr. Kemper is both intelligent and passionate. I had always looked forward to class and have enjoyed the assigned course readings. The assignments aligned fluidly to the study materials as well as class discussions. I really have nothing critical to say and I have nothing but respect and admiration for this professor.

I will be honest in saying that there is a lot of reading in this course (four papers due as well as may discussion posts) but the professor is EXTREMELY fair on timelines and was willing to work with students by extending multiple timelines, he is a very kind and understanding professor.

Dr. Kemper is very passionate about the subject he teaches. While that is a good thing, that may also be his downfall because classes are all over the place. He is a very generous grader and his essays are short (750 words). Classes and assignments are not organized and due gates are always pushed back but its a very easy A class

one of the nicest teachers here. he talks about cases and explains the laws in ways your actually understand. don't be scared to ask questions. he likes to go off topic A LOT but that's ok its entertaining. he's a cool dude, if you fail the class that's on you. also try to participate.

Read everything he gives you, follow his instructions for the discussion boards and essay. He's very clear in his guidelines for grading in the syllabus. I learned more than I expected to, would take Mr. Kemper again! :)
