responsibility he is entrusted with. I

Kevin has a reputation for brilliance.

He presents course material in a

multifaceted way using text, music,

and video. Kevin presents complex

matters in a creative and accessible

manner. His teaching is not a one-

way street of spoon-feeding but

rather an invitation to students to fully

engage the objectives of the course

with their own abilities to reason and

be creative.

Kevin’s creative & thorough approach

to teaching is rare and inspirational. I

greatly benefited from being his

dissertation writing process. I

enthusiastically recommend him for
