Fall 2019 - Professor Kipen himself is an interesting character....he refuses to give students A's right away and is a great criticizer. At the end of the day he looks for growth in students writings. Only thing I did not like was his very vague comments on how to better prepare for essays. For example I would ask "How can I make sure my essay doesn't seem too opinionated? How can I equally spread out my opinion, evidence, facts, etc?" and he would respond "Well that is tough, but keep in my mind opinion in an essay is necessary and important but refrain from using too much or it will take over the entire thing, just make sure to add enough evidence." Like SIR you did NOT answer my question.

Spring 2019 - Loved this class. Nearly two hour "lectures" never felt like it. He absolutely adores good writing and gets everyone else to love it too. Also has an incredible range of knowledge on literature/film. Ask him about any writer, screenwriter, or director since the beginning of time and he's sure to have stories to tell about them.
