I can't recommend Ken enough. He is so kind, funny and really seems to care. His feedback is great and helpful. Lectures are also great and really knows what hes talking about. I actually want to do the work for his class which is something I thought was impossible. He is my favorite prof at KPU and I wish he could teach all my classes.

Ken is hands down one of the best profs out there. He is beyond passionate about his teachings which makes the material interesting and he is always open to discussions. He loves hearing others thoughts/ideas. Fair with his grading and provides excellent feedback. Will be taking him again in the future :)

He's so nice he's like a dad and as long as you do the work you're guaranteed a good grade. The class is super interesting, I didn't even need another second year class, but I really wanted to learn about this topic and I have no regrets!

Comment:
One of the most caring and kindhearted professors at KPU. He loves what he teaches and it shows. Marks are based on two tests, a proposal for research paper of your choosing, and the research paper. He's a fair marker and it is very easy to do well in his class if you study. He gives study guides a week before the test so you know what to study.

I took multiple classes with Ken during post-secondary, and he was always one of my favorites. He knows what he's talking about, he is kind, and you will learn a lot. He has a very specific grading criteria that he uses for almost every class he teaches and you will always know to expect. If you study, you'll pass.

Professor Stark is a great teacher. He gives great lectures and there's never a dull moment in his class. He is there when you need any help, and is a very fair with his marking. I find him very approachable and friendly.

Comment:
His upper year classes have PowerPoint notes which consist of about 60 slides each all full of facts and the exams are on 4-5 chapters so that's almost 300 slides that you need to study and remember a lot of the details because you'll be tested on them. I found that a little too much to remember no matter how long I studied it's just too much info!

Comment:
I have taken multiple Anthropology courses with Ken Stark, In the upper levels he just adds on an oral presentation for his courses but the latest I took was a theory course with him that I honestly thought would be rather dreary to get through but it was the opposite. If you want to do well in Anthropology take him.

On the outside he seems like a dweeb but is rather funny and makes lectures enjoyable. Great notes. Basically all your work is done for you. One paper that is interesting and your choice of topic. Would take again.

Easily the best professor I've ever had! Class was 3 hours long but his slides were easy to understand and his tests were straight forward and not difficult if you actually studied. There was one research paper but he gave a huge amount of time for you to hand it in.

The best prof ever, he provides with a study guide that really is helpful. Straight-forward and always willingly to help you. I got an A in his class, archeology of death. Wasted my money on the textbook. Everything was from the notes.
