Dr. Kipa is the man!! He is so funny and laidback, and is flexible with assignments. He doesn't assign too much work, and his tests come from exactly what you do in class.

He's a great guy but his tests can be difficult and he has high expectations of his students. He uses the textbook 99% of the time.

Did not learn much in the long run...did a lot of short term memorization to pass the tests and forgot everything soon after...still, a fairly easy class to get an A in.

He's the most adorable old man you ever did see!! If you're a good student, he will like you a lot. You have to be prepared for class and do your work. But you're in college now. Any professor would expect that. He respects students who do their work and show an interest in the curriculum. Tests are hard, but you learn a lot.

People shouldn't be surprised about his style. He's old school. He doesn't care about your feelings or about your opinion. Thats not why you are there. You're in his class to learn. His job is to teach, which he's really good at. If you don't show up for class, you will be graded accordingly. Go in there, do what you have to do and you'll be fine.

Comment:
Coldhearted and unwilling to listen to students. Completely unapproachable. Went to his office to discuss a test I had gotten back, and all he did was fervently defend why he took off points where he had instead of offering constructive criticism that I had specifically asked him for.

Comment:
I used to love Kipa, because I thought he was just damned brilliant. But I was crestfallen when I realized that all he wanted was for us to spout back word-for-word what he had lectured.....like every other Berg professor....But it's difficult to learn a

Comment:
An old-school blowhard who forms early opinions of students and adjusts their grades accordingly. Demonstrating a feigned interest in 19th century German music can help. Making jokes about Soviet-era secret police will not.
