Average rating: 4.9 of 5\u00a0(\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663 Excellent; \u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663\u00a0Very Good; \u2663\u2663\u2663\u00a0Good; \u2663\u2663\u00a0Fair; \u2663\u00a0Poor)<\/p>\n

\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663 Excellent at facilitating classroom discussion. Very respectful of ideas.<\/p>\n

\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663 Really intelligent, great teacher. Content is both fun and stimulating. Would like to see a little more lecturing and a little less group work. Other than that, he is excellent!<\/p>\n

\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663 Great teacher; facilitates discussion well and has a thorough understanding of the subject. He is an approachable person. Sometimes lecture could seem unstructured.<\/p>\n

\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663 A really interesting class that pose unique questions to students to think about the value\/ purpose of reading as well as how we perceive education. Helpful, insightful, thought-provoking!<\/p>\n

\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663 165RD was an enjoyable class. The assigned readings and class discussions were extremely relevant.<\/p>\n

\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663 This was one of the most unique and interesting classes I\u2019ve ever taken, and has actually shed light on why I am an English major and has made me appreciate literature so much more and the impact it has on society.<\/p>\n

\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663 Amazing professor, I loved the discussion-based lecture. Always readily available to talk and is extremely approachable! A+!<\/p>\n

\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663 Class was not very structured which allowed for open discussion and discourse. Overall, very great!<\/p>\n

\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663 Loved the focus of the course. Learned to think of reading and works in an entirely new way.<\/p>\n

\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663 This class was a breath of fresh air. Infinite thanks!<\/p>\n

\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663 Excellent class, helpful, insightful, intelligent professor. Would definitely recommend to future students.<\/p>\n

\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663 Wonderful! Great subject for a class. Ken is funny, encouraging, on point, informative, very open and just great.<\/p>\n

\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663 Professor Hiltner was a great professor. Extremely helpful. He is always willing to accommodate students. Furthermore, he\u2019s very positive and always open to student\u2019s suggestions about the class in general, and about the different readings. Lastly, he\u2019s very understanding. Great prof!<\/p>\n

\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663 Prof. Hiltner is great! The set up for the class is excellent, there is always good class discussions, and the reading materials were all very interesting. Excellent professor and I\u2019m very glad I got to take a class of his.<\/p>\n

\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663 One of the most enjoyable and educational classes I\u2019ve had at UCSB. Hiltner expertly leads discussions in class and chooses works that further the class in very illuminating ways<\/p>\n

\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663 I very much enjoyed this class, but would\u2019ve liked more time. It was very interesting. I appreciated the freedom in paper topics. I think it was great to use texts to start discussion on contemporary events. Thank you<\/p>\n

\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663 This was an excellent class and I really enjoyed Professor Hiltner. He engaged everyone in discussion really well and made the class interesting. I like that the structure of the class was loose because it didn\u2019t feel rushed and it left more time for in-depth discussion. Really, really enjoyed it.<\/p>\n

\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663 Wouldn\u2019t change a thing. Very talented professor.<\/p>\n

\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663 One of the most caring and attentive professors I\u2019ve ever had. Great at facilitating discussion and at encouraging students to speak their mind confidently.<\/p>\n

\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663 He was my favorite teacher this quarter. Actually treats us like intelligent adults. He doesn\u2019t take attendance, which is great. Very approachable. The laidback teaching style was perfect for class intellectual conversations.<\/p>\n

\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663 Just an excellent forum for provocative and intellectual\/contemporary relevant conversations. I think this would function much better as an honors seminar with less students. Great facilitator of discussion. I have to stay in touch as a tackle more \u201cgreat books\u201d. Thanks for the insight.<\/p>\n

\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663 Professor Hiltner is brilliant and so kind. His classes are always enjoyable and I have greatly benefitted from being in his class.<\/p>\n

\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663\u00a0I think Prof. Hiltner did a great job teaching this course, especially considering that is a newly designed one. It was a welcome change from most English classes in that it was 100% discussion-oriented and that the discussions were more limited to the texts provided. If it were going to be taught again, I would get through\u00a0How to Read a Book\u00a0<\/em>first, maybe in a few weeks, then do other readings later.<\/p>\n

\u2663\u2663\u2663\u00a0Very kind and helpful. Kept class discussion going. Wide variety of readings.<\/p>\n

\u2663\u2663\u2663\u00a0The syllabus is very vague and the lectures weren\u2019t very organized. I did enjoy the readings. They were very interesting, and I would not have read them on my own.<\/p>\n

\u2663\u2663\u2663\u00a0Some readings very good, while the textbook (How to Read a Book<\/em>) left something to be desired. As Prof. Hiltner suggested, it could use a rewrite. Hiltner is masterful at leading in class discussions though, so they were obviously enjoyable.<\/p>\n

Unrated I really enjoyed this class. I appreciated all of the in-class discussion. I feel that is a great way to stimulate one\u2019s mind and learn. Thanks for picking excerpts to match the direction the class was going rather than having a set-in-stone reading list. I read to better understand myself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
