I have him as a advisor and he is simply the greatest. He always makes time to meet with me and is always interested in what I'm saying and does his best to help at all times. Has a very calming air. Love him.

Dr. Kane is hilariously dopey. He has a very nice, goofy, grandfatherly vibe about him. He's a real character, and he dresses like a middle school assistant principal.

Good teacher and mentor, cares about the student and rather see the student succeed than fail so he will work to make sure they succeed but he still expect you to learn.

Comment:
I got switched from Dr. Hood to the Houdawg as my advisor my senior year. Saddam Houkane is the muther ****in man. I remember I took Latin American Pol. with him and the tests comprised of knowing the capitals of South American countries. I could have shot myself in the face just before the test and still aced it.

Comment:
Anyone who has a bad opinion about Kane needs to be expelled. He is the best professor I have had at Ursinus. With his direction I know I will be able to get to where I want to be in my college career. If he is dry at all, it's because (as I would too) he probably gets sick of going to class everyday with people who don't read and don't care. With the people who care, he is always enthusiastic.

I learned a lot in Houghton's class. Dr. Kane presents the material with lots of enthusiasm and he always has anecdotes that make you smile. He is a nice professor and a good guy. He is harder than hood, but still easier than Fitz and Stern. Helpful

Houghton was a teacher who seemed to want to work hard to lose my respect over my four years. Helpful and understanding at first, disinterested and useless in the end.
