Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5

Kris is really really really a friendly and kind professor, he weight your health and actual learnt knowledge more than courses and assignments. Although we have many readings, but you can definitely improve academic writing skills in his course.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5

Kris was so flexible and understanding with covid, he challenged us to engage with tough (boring) theoretical material but graded fairly and was clear. Extra Credit available. Great professor, really cared about us as people before students, highly recommend him.
