He uses an old projector which can be hard to read. BUT, he is sincerely a nice guy and it comes through during the lectures and the overall structure of the class. He is also genuinely interested in subject matter and it comes through in lectures. He's not really an entertaining lecturer-- no flashy powerpoint presentations-- he'll crack an occasional joke or anecdote from the field but when it comes down to it it's clear this guy knows his stuff. He has fair grading policies and the courseload is decent. Take his class.

Loved this fiat lux, great space to meet other students intimately during online learning, Professor Kroskrity asked insightful questions and gave space for great discussion.

Professor Kroskrity IS a bit monotone, but he's a nice professor, makes himself available during office hours, and has very interesting research. His classes usually consist of an outline, which he then lectures off of. My class was graded on two papers and the grading was fair.

If you're thinking about taking this class, do it! Prof. Kroskrity is amazing and he genuinely cares about his students doing well. There are quite a bit of readings and the essays are long, but he will walk you through it if you need it. He let us submit outlines before the essays were due and rewrite certain portions after we got our grade to get points back. His feedback is SO helpful and he's just so nice with his time when it comes to students. An A is very doable, as long as you put some time into the readings/essays.
