I had Shel for Judaism: Scriptures and Traditions and it was one of my favorite classes that I've ever taken. He cares very deeply about student success and learning and his lectures reflect that. We visited Temple Emanuel in GR. Also, the final presentation allows everyone to present on a topic they are personally passionate about, which is great.

A great guy and an amazing professor. You can tell he is very passionate about this subject and that he knows a lot about this subject as well. He doesn't give like almost any feedback on any exams or makeup exams, but they are not super difficult. You have to study because they are short answer exams.

Professor Kopperl is in awesome guy and a somewhat easy grader. I really liked him and his teaching style. Unfortunately I don't have any interest in his subject which made the class very boring. He's an awesome guy though!

Professor Kopperl is such a great professor. He genuinely cares about his students. His lectures are very simple, write everything he puts on the board and you should be fine. For his honors class, there is a midterm exam but no final. The midterm was an objective exam, straight out of the notes. Definitely take his class if you get the chance!

I LOVE THIS MAN!!!! So sweet, so helpful, he just loves life and everyone!!! Subject matter is quite dull, and he does have a boring way of lecture, but his cheeriness and quirky jokes helped brighten my day at 8:30am!!! Super easy, very lenient and willing to change due dates, make tests easier, etc. Totally recommend, just try not to fall asleep

Solid prof. Lectures are very clear and organized. He knows what he's talking about and is pretty helpful on letting you know what's going to be on the exam. Going into this class I had absolutely no interest in the class, yet he found a way to captivate me and hold my attention. Definitely recommend.

Professor Kopperl is one of the best professors I have ever had. He genuinely cares about his students and he made an effort to get to know each of us, even though our class size was around 70 people. He is very nice and makes the subject interesting. He understands that you will miss class from time to time and he also allows one make-up exam.

I love this professor. Our grade was made up of 4 exams and an optional paper to replace one exam grade. Everything you need to know for the exams will be written on the board or specifically assigned from the book. I averaged A's on the first 3 exams, so I don't have to take the final!! He's awesome!! I've learned so much from him.

This guy is awesome. He understands that the majority of students take the class for pre-recs,so he tries to keep the work minimal. The tests are really easy if you study. He actually gets to know his students and is the only prof I have had that learned names. He's pretty funny as well. You can tell he loves what he teaches. I will miss his class.

Professor Kopperl was really great! This honors course is very easy if you're a good writer because it's graded almost entirely on writing papers. Some semesters his section has a mid-term but he provides a study guide which pretty much spells out what you need to know for the test. He's very helpful in and outside of class. Highly recommended!

Loved this professor. He could be lecturing about the process of paint drying and it would still seem interesting. Do not buy the textbook, never used it. Only 4 exams and 1 paper determine your grade. Make sure you write down everything he has on the board because that is what will be on the exam.

Really nice guy. Didn't love the class, but that was more a matter of interest than the professor. I would definitely recommend him!

I absolutely LOVED Prof. Kopperl! He is so passionate about what he teaches. With him, it's not about the grades it's about the learning. You go to class everyday and strictly learn. There are probably 3 exams the entire semester but they are 25 fill in the blank questions. Write down everything he writes on the board you will be golden!
