Very professional, excellent at introducing students to challenging material.

holds great discussions

Excellent in explaining topics and very good discussions

A great teacher.

Know his stuff...participate and he will like you...keep up with the many readin

Excellent class

Great professor, although the subject (capitalism) is very boring.

The professor was a very nice guy; the class was light. You don't need to read all the the material to do well in the class. The selected materials were very interesting. I highly recommend this class

Excellent teacher. Great readings for the class. Good discussions. Fair, but not easy grader.

lively discussions, difficult readings, accessible prof.

This professor is fair and committed. Those who say otherwise are simply too insecure to accept truthful criticism.

This class was a lot of work, but I found it to be very interesting as well (Capitalism & Democracy). The title didn't suit the material, but that was certainly not his fault. Assignments tended to be open-ended. He is a very fair grader!

Nah! This guy was lazy; he even used the old syllabi. Very stingy grader. Impossible one to get an A from him.

Pretty fair grader, no stress class, very laid back, good summer professor, prompt with grading

Prof. Queen was one of the best professors I’ve ever had. I had an outstanding semester in his class. He doesn’t give into the man’s **** like most other professors will, and he truly rewards effort in his class. He is fair, and does not give you C’s like some ignorant grad student. Got an A-

This class rocks. Professor's organized and efficient. All my papers were graded within three or four days and had typed comments a the end.

My favorite class. Professor Queen's really smart and cute too. I wrote my paper on femininty in America and loved it. He grades fairly. I highly recommend this course. He won't kiss your bum.

I dug this class. Professor Queen pushed me. he said my grade was mine to earn rather than his to impose on me. he's fair, consistent, and wicked smaht.

Good professor, cares a lot about the success of his students. Has a sense of humor, and does try to make class interesting. I like that he doesn't impose his opinions in a discussion class, lets us do the talking and learn stuff for ourselves. He was fair with the grades. Overall, a great teacher.

Queen is very knowledgable about the subject, a fair grader, helpful with comments on papers, and a pretty cool guy. Don't listen to the other commenters, all of the books read in WR 100/150 are relevant to the class...and as for Queen being "arrogant," he's funny arrogant, not an ****. Overall Good Class!!

Dr. Queen is a passionate, knowledgable, and competent teacher. His reading material is both interesting and well chosen. If he's difficult on his students at (appropriate) times, it's because he genuinely cares about their intellectual development and understands that his courses should function as an instrumental part of their instruction.

Professor rocks. This class can be hard at times. He made me understand when I was writing well and why, at times, my writing fell below my potential.

Good class. He's well-organized. I like the website alot. Discussions particularly lively.

Discussions rock. Professor's knowledgeable and grades fairly.

Dr. Queen is enthusiastic in the classroom and helpful in office hours. He chose interesting and insightful texts, and encourages discussion among students. Definitely worth taking this class.

Cute and smart. Helpful and patient. Good readings and a challenging class.

Excellent writing professor. Truly wants his students to succeed. Sometimes assigned reading can be daunting, but he schedules in some catch up days. He plays devil's advocate during discussion, livening up the discourse. Go to office hours to run ideas by him. He lets you know exactly where you can improve and types up comments for every paper

I really enjoyed this class and the prof. Learned a ton about my writing and American culture.

You need to take Professor Queen

an excellent professor. critical but extremely helpful. my writing has improved tenfold this semester and the topics were fascinating. just be ready to take the heat.

Really thorough grader. His comments are extremely helpful, and he does everything to help the student suceed in the class and in their writing. He's funny, but be prepared to take a little heat for your writing or ideas. Respects his students, but expects a lot out of them. Challenging, but rewarding class.

You definitely have to keep up on the readings, he can tell if you've done it and is not afraid to call you out if you haven't. My writing improved significantly from his coaching though, and his comments are helpful. Plus, you can write about any topic you want. Despite the heavy workload, the class was one of my favorites.

Excellent professor and class.

I mean... in terms of writing, it's extremly personal. Beware! taking his class is like joining the army. Be ready for some tough training. Although you'll be a better writer, I'm not so sure if everyone can take the heat. He's one of those professor who want to teach for the sake of giving mean comments to students. Becareful if you take his class

I loved this class and the discussions. He rarely lectures, not sure what the previous person's talking about. He wrote many comments helpful comments to me and the typed comments at the end really guided my revisions. I'm a better writer now, and he was really fair with me. Take Queen! Don't listen to the bitter ones!

A very good class, I worked hard for a B+ but learned a lot. Also, I felt like the prof really wanted us to learn and his comments on my essays were very specific...he's not so much into grammar, but I got a lot of very helpful comments about arguments and research, and my writing (and thinking!) is much better now.

We did grammar alot and this class was very hard, especially some of the legal theory. But the professor's helpful. I really liked the discussions; he leads great discussions. An excellent seminar.

This was a great discussion class. The reading load is heavy: about a book a week, plus secondary articles analyzing the books. Participation in discussion important. A surprisingly easy grader on papers. This is a very philosophical, heady class. Sometimes I wasn't sure what we were supposed to be learning, but it was fun.

Great professor and even nicer guy, really wants students to learn. Pretty heavy reading load, but I learned a lot. Feedback on papers was specific and helpful.

Brad Queen is probably the best teacher I have ever had. He is incredibly helpful and really cares about his students. He is soooooo smart - he knows something about everything! And he is a really fair grader. His feedback is really helpful, especially when you write the revisions. Go to his office hours!! He'll tell you exactly what he wants!

Prof. Queen's intelligence makes this class. The reading load is heavy, and it must be done for discussion.

Really nice professor who actually cares (i think). Heavy reading load but I feel like my writing and reading comprehension has improved. Class recommended.

Brad Queen is the man. He is absolutely the best teacher, let alone professor, I have ever had and he is the most enthusiastic and engaging person you'll ever want to be around. And he's suuuper fine...

Fun class, mostly good readings. Learned a lot about culture topics I'd never thought about before. Prof Queen is allergic to A's, but runs a good discussion.

queen was at first a pain but now i really see how he wants us to succeed. it can be rough but hes a great guy

Great professor,great discussions and learning material. One negative is that I feel that he makes this class a bit too complex and difficult for a 200 level. As a student in SMG while I find the material interesting, I find myself not as educated as other students who are majoring in Am. Studies. Reading can be overwhelming but you just gotta f

Good class. A pretty heavy workload but I learned a lot and my researching skills are definitely much better. Helpful in office hours. He will very clearly explain how to improve your work.

Professor Queen does intimidate me a bit, but he's awesome! I find that my writing skills have greatly improved and he really does want his students to do well.I LOVE HIM

Proffessor Queen is one of the best writing or english teachers I have ever had. I got my first A on a paper with him. He grades very fairly, if he sees you have put in effort, he will give you a good grade. Office hours with him are a blessing. One of my favorite teachers to date. Makes class interesting and is extremely supportive.

Umm, he's hot. But more importantly, he is an inspiring, challenging teacher. I definitely recommend him for any WR course.

I liked this class because it was more like a workshop. Prof Queen didn't lecture at us, he had us figure things out for ourselves and devoted a lot of time to us figuring out how to make our own writing and arguments better. Just be forewarned that you will have to put a lot of work in and sometimes the material is really difficult.

My favorite prof. He's really easy to talk to. I think I learned more in this class than I have in all my previous writing or English classes put together.

Queen is the best professor I have come across at BU so far. Its not because he is extremely easy or something like that, its because he is fair. He loves the topic he is teaching and you can tell he loves to teach. its not an easy A. you have to work for your grade but he gives you the grade you deserve. take if you like the subject matter.

I had Prof. Queen for both semesters of the studio. I found him to be always helpful and constructive in his feedback. He clearly enjoys teaching us. He planned the second semester in two parts to respond to our needs, since the writing portion started seven weeks into the spring semester. I learned alot.

Great guy. Work you put in was the grade you got. Always encouraging and engaging.

Prof Queen really wants his students to do well. Grades fairly and judges by final product as well as the amount of work and effort put into it. His lectures have nothing to do with the papers and assigns a lot of reading that might not pertain to your paper topic. Overall, hes a nice guy and easy to talk to in office hours.

I took Mr. Queen's First Amendment WR150 course and absolutely loved it! The professor is so helpful and reaches out to his students to help them. Although some of the readings are difficult, students have the freedom to choose paper topics -literally whatever you want to write about, he'll love it! He is so eager to make sure his students succeed!

Queen is the greatest human that has ever inhabited the face of the earth. I loved him so much, and everyone should have him. But he's leaving so sorry

Easily the best Writing Professor EVER. He's clear and explicit when it comes to voicing his expectations, and he's fully dedicated to helping his students get the A. If you put in a lot of effort, he said the lowest you can get in his class is a B+. But he's a great teacher. You'll learn a lot from B. Queen. TAKE HIM.

Okay, so he doesn't actually teach at BU anymore, he's a prof/head of writing department at UCI. He's really good BUT he assigns a lot of work and the majority of it is ungraded which feels like a waste of time but is part of "the drafting process". He gives a lot of pep talks and is, overall, a great professor though.
