While a snappy dresser and enthusiastic about what he teaches, Curry failed to impress me on a larger scale. I was not a big fan of the class or the projects, but got by with relative ease (as easily as I got by in my high school classes). Big project, some unimportant short papers, and the exams are annoying. His voice makes you fall asleep.

Professor Curry uses antiquated teaching methods, all the while preaching to you about how to be a good teacher. He doesn't allow laptops in class, which is fair. But what is not fair is that he does not allow students to leave the room after class has begun. He is a very harsh grader, not on quality of work, instead he nitpicks to lower the grades

Essentially, Curry grades papers too harshly because you'd have to be able to read his mind to answer his broad prompts as specifically as he'd like. Your knowledge of the subject matter is irrelevant. Also, his style is dry and uninspiring. I'm no longer interested in teaching after taking this class.

A great professor and definitely is passionate about what he teaches. Each class was discussion based and there were very few assignments. HOWEVER- make sure to read the syllabus. This class required 40 hours of community service and it was very taxing. Attendance is mandatory and the classroom is no technology (he will take off points)!

Prof. Curry is an awesome and caring guy. The class consists of A LOT of quizzes but they're generally pretty simple. The big project in his class is a lot of work but he gives more than enough time to finish it and checks parts of it along the way. If you're looking for someone who has a lot of knowledge and interesting stories take this class!

this man is awesome. he's super funny and the class is relatively chill. there's a large group project at the end, but it's manageable. he does not tolerate cell phones, absence, or lateness, but his outfits and sense of humor make up for it.

If you have ever thought “I miss being treated like a middle schooler, having my bathroom breaks affect my grade and be condescend to” than Bernard curry is the professor for you. Don't take any classes with him if you want to feel respected at all.

I absolutely loved his class. Im a dual enrolled high school student and thought it was very simple and I enjoyed his class, There is a large group project but he gives months to finish it.

When I first switched into this class I was definitely nervous because how strictly implied the rules of no tech and you MUST attend class but after taking the course Prof Curry is definitely the best Prof I had and one of the nicest guys. Regular quizzes but super easy being 10-15 questions. Group project 30% of grade so choose wisely for people.
