Dr. Elliot Kapit has been the most empathetic and compassionate professor that I have ever had the pleasure to be educated by at the Colorado School of Mines. Dr. Kapit has taken this unusual semester and truly facilitated it in a way that his students could still learn in a positive environment.

He has been extremely understanding and has allowed students in PHGN 462 to complete adequate work in a manner that allows for us to learn while not overwhelming students. I would seriously like to thank Dr. Kapit for administering his class in this manner and I hope that future physics students have the pleasure to learn from him.

His flipping of exams to handle the open-book nature was...

We are so grateful for and impressed with the dedication and care that Ms. Engerman showed Maggie, especially at time when I am sure health services...
