he is the man take him!!!!!
Amazing professor =)
He is the BEST! He actually makes class fun even for people who hate writing.
Great !!! DEF. TAKE HIM, U WONT REGRET IT.
GREAT PROFESSOR!! he really cares and makes class interesting.
This is the best professor that I ever had.
YOU MUST TAKE HIM! BEST PROFESSOR EVER
THE BEST !!!!!!!!!!
awesome & easy going. you cant go wrong with him!
He is a terrific teacher. his classes are exactly like a class you took in high school. he makes learning interesting. If you hate writing, he's the perfect man for the job. he makes his assignments easy and fun. go to class, he takes note of attendance. kinda a rough grader though on your final grade, suprised me a bit... but overall, the BEST!
Corey is hands down the most intelligent, fun, and inspiring professor I have ever had in my educational career. Unlike other instructors who look at you like an ID number, he takes the time to get to know each and every one of his students individually and encourages them to excel everyday. Trust me, you will not regret the Corey Mead experience.
Corey is really everything you need in an English teacher! He gives you good books to read and encourages/inspires you to write more. He also gives us interesting a fun projects! I know everyone in my class loved Corey to pieces! And to top it off, he has a great sense of humor! Corey you get an A from me!
Corey was the best professor that has ever happened to me! He really brings humor into class, which makes it very interesting. He was really commited to helping us with our writing by giving us one on one conferences for each of the big projects/papers. I wish he would also teach history or something so I could have him again AT ALL TIMES, so upset
I looked forward to this class everyday this summer. Corey knows how to make writing painless and very fun. I'm so upset that I don't attend Baruch during the academic year because I would take every class he offered.
A complete joy of a class. Couldn't say more good things in just this small space. I'd never looked forward to English in my life until I took his class.
I want to transfer out of Baruch and I will obviously miss all my friends when i leave, but one more person i will truly miss is Corey Mead. He is truly the greatest professor/teacher you will ever have and I swear to you that you will also miss his class once the semester is over. His thing is that he lets you do literally free writing, so you
One of the best professors I had this semester. He is very nice and is always there to help. He is very encourgaging and everyone in my class loved him.
This professor is so awesome that some people will give him bad ratings just so others dont take him. Man...Corey is a great human being, he is funny, understanding, and his class was the best. In High school my worst and least favorite class was english but with corey, english became my highest grade and favorite class for that semester.
he is a down to earth teacher, just like a high school teacher. but he really doesnt teach english exactly... if you want to upgrade ur english skills, dont take him, for a fun easy teacher take him.he is extremely nice and helpful, just go to class so he wont give you a B when you think your going to get an A...
Really friendly, attractive personality! Easy A. We wrote two 5 pagers. Very easygoing. the type of person that can say things that would be taken as offensive from another person but is somehow funny from him. i felt that sometimes bs's ppl with flattery though. Otherwise, he makes it as easy as possible to pass (im not necessarily a betr writr).
He is very sarcastic and laid back.If you cant handle that than dont take him.Light work, readings and quizzes and we watch movies that relate to it.Pretty much that's it.I recommend him.My fav prof so far! I can go to him for anything! :)
One of my favorite professors and not just because I got an A. He makes class interesting. He will meet with you to discuss your work, and gives you a lot of feedback, so it's pretty difficult to NOT get an A.
It was a pleasure going to this class. The work for this class is fun and he makes you actually want to do it. I definitely recommend you taking professor Mead
Professor Corey is a very easy professor, who has a genius to how he teaches his class. It seems like your not learning but you actually are. Really laidback and very helpful. Definitely go for him.
You actually become more aware of how the world really works and you do learn without even noticing.Mead is funny, laidback and cool.Just do the work and you are sure to do well.
A great personality, funny and is quite charming. Yet, he does overkill on the jokes but you have to take it lightly. Class is low pressure but he will give more work. He gave like 6 quizzes on classes in a row. Just do the reading thou.He also gave a ten page final essay. His projects are not bad but you must do good on them. I would take him.
Ok. Don't take him unless you're willing to read and write papers well. He's not a cake walk like some make him out to be, but he is hilarious, smart, and helpful. Highly recommended!
One of the best classes and professors in Baruch. He is not easy, TONS of reading to do, 6 quizzes, long papers and class discussions. He's extremely funny and the class is a blast, but only if you're willing to do the work. I highly recommend Corey, I miss this class already!
The thing is... you can't find a more understanding, funny, and chill guy as Corey at Baruch or, if I may, many places outside of it. Don't be fooled though. He takes attendance very seriously. Just show up to class and enjoy it.
He can become a great friend. Please just don't give him any trouble and do your work, it's not that hard. Do your best and he will give you his best. He makes class interesting and fun with his sarcasm. He deserves a raise for dealing with some people's crap.
Strict teacher, dont be late, dont miss hw, must pay attention in class. Very demanding from papers,if you are not great writer expect to get a bad grade.
LOVE HIM! he's so funny and smart. although hes a tough grader and assigns a ton of reading his class is very interesting and he teaches the subject matter really well. it helps that he's cute and really funny. take him!
Great professor! I love his style of teaching and his openness with his students. He is very passionate about what he teaches, if its about the war of course. Two essay exams and quizzes throughout the semester. You must do the reading in order to pass the class.
I URGE all baruch students to take Prof. Mead before he realizes his worth as a professor and moves on to NYU or Harvard! He's amazing. His class is like an hour-long comedy session and his homework assignments are more than reasonable. If you have a brain (or even one side of a brain) you'll get a high grade.
Take him. He has the best attitude. He'll make you laugh, laugh with you, and laugh at you. Super genuine guy, class felt more like a conversation among friends than a lecture. He wants you to do well and helps in any way he can. Don't mistake his casual behavior for leniency, you need to do your work but it was all good reading and helpful writing
Best teacher I've ever had. First time I've ever gotten an A in english in my entire life. TAKE HIM
Wow. Best professor I had at Baruch. There's a quiz every week but it's a cakewalk if you just read and he usually gives you hints while you are taking them. Two essays which weren't too difficult (5-6 pages each) and a presentation. Very lenient grader. I wish he was teaching 2800/2850 for fall, oh well.
THE BEST ENGLISH PROFESSOR I EVER HAD! he is amazing! take him!! he is super funny and makes the class laugh all the time. He is very nice and he teaches in a very fun way! We get to watch movies alot in class too!!
An honor to be in his class. Just what you want out of an english professor. Very relateable. Funny. Smart. Great books to read. You do have to read them because he does give quizzes. Dont be absent/late. If only he taught 2850....
THE MOST AMAZING & BEST PROFESSOR I'VE HAD THROUGHOUT THE YEAR OF MY COLLEGE. Just do the readings he assign even if it's a lot or too much! I must say I really enjoy his teachings and class!
He's a great and awesome professor. Great English teacher. Makes class interesting and fun. Gets along with students. His quizzes are based on the reading so you have to read. Overall, amazing class.
To sir, with love! What can I say that will convince you all to sign up for his class! You will not regret it for a minute. He gives lots of easy quizzes so you should do the assigned reading in order to get the easiest A on the planet, but if you do, you will be rewarded with having read the best books on the planet!
Corey is a mench. Amazing highly engaging class. If you want to grow as a reader, writer this is the class for you.
Just take him. No questions needed. Best professor at Baruch. Friendly conversational guy, full of jokes but is focused and to the point. He gives dumb quizzes you can probably guess the answers to with common sense. No tests just 2 papers
Hurry! Sign up now before it fills up. The assignments will make you think, the professor will make you laugh and the readings will make you cry. You will enjoy the work! It's not an easy A, but if you do the the work, you will get your A!
What are you doing reading this? The man is a published author and the literary voice of our generation. He's also hilarious and chill. Go back to eSIMS and enter hia course code, dummy.
Corey is the man! He actually makes you think outside the box. The readings he assigned were very interesting and the other assignments were pretty easy. It was a pleasure having him as a professor. Definitely ONE of my favorite professors at Baruch.
Easiest professor you will ever have. The assignments that he had for my class were stuff that we knew already, but we simply had to go more in depth about them. If you get anything except an A or B the lowest, you're going to have a very tough time in college.
One of the most pleasant and easy going professors at Baruch. Short quizzes on readings for the first half of the year, then a couple of written assignments in the second half. IF there are spots left for his class, take him! It was a pleasure to have him as a professor.
I LOVE HIM. We read articles and watch movies that are relevant.. That's something very rare for an English class
Corey's amazing and hilarious! We only had 2 papers (he gives good advice on) and we watched movies relevant to the class all semester. Class discussions were a blast and the quizzes were easy if you read the articles he assigned which were all pretty interesting. If you go to Baruch, you should really try to have him! No stress and a great grade!
Arguably the greatest Professor in the school. Learned so much, enjoyed class discussions too!
Honestly english is my least favorite subject. I genuinely hate it and never thought I would enjoy and english class. This class proved me wrong! Corey Mead is by far the most amazing teach Iv ever had. His classes are very educational yet hilarious and fun. Loved it so much I never wanted to miss class. Wish he taught 2800/2850 bc he's UNREAL.
Get ready to read guys but its not as bad as you think! 20 page articles have to be read for each class and then you are quizzed on it in class but don't worry! they're relatively easy and he's really nice about the grades. Only paper you need to write is 20 pages at the end of the semester on anything you want! Not that bad! He is hilarious too!
Currently suffering whilst writing this 20 page paper due in 4 hours.
Dudes a straight legend. Must fun ive ever had in a class. Period.
Professor Mead is one of the best professor Ive ever had. Besides the frequent absences he had during the semester, he pulled out to be great! Tons of article readings, and quizzes for each article read. One 25 page paper on something we learned in class. Don't worry you'll be in great shape, just don't slack off and try to participate!
It feels like you're in the high school again. Easy, funny, but still educational. Long articles to read with quizzes after reading, a lot of movies without quizzes. No midterm, a 20 pages paper as final, write what you want, it could be not academic style, but kind of newspaper article. You'll have a lot of time for the paper and good feedback.
He defines what a legend is
He's the homie. He is the scripted awesome teachers in movies, but he is actually real. He is a must take, trust me. Only 1 paper; the final 20 page paper about an interesting topic. He shows movies but he rarely finishes them, and let's us leave 1 hour early instead.
Good professor. A lot of ny times articles and small quizzes. One 25 page paper on any topic due at the end of the semester. It's tough but doable. He's pretty funny too.
Professor Corey is the man. Take him, you won't regret it. He cares about his students. Even if you fail first of your few quizzes, focus on your final paper and you are good to go!
BEST PROFESSOR. If you have the opportunity to take him and you don't you're not very smart.
The call of him being the awesome teacher that's scripted in movies but in real life is SOOOOOO accurate.
Corey Mead is by far one of the best professors in Baruch. His class is unconventional but very educational. He isn't like any English professor in Baruch. He would give an article every week and quiz on it but the quiz questions are super easy and the articles always interesting. One 20 page paper at the end of the semester but its very open ended
The most interesting English class I have ever taken in my life. Extremely interesting articles along with in class movies. Corey is also an extremely friendly and funny person who you will love! 20 page paper due at the end, but in retrospect it was extremely fun to write. HIGHLY recommended for anyone! Best class ever! Not even one complaint.
One of the greatest professors I have ever had, and i have been in school forever (feels like it at least). The reading were extremely interesting. One 15 pages paper due in the end of the class. Very intelligent and funny professor. Enjoyed waking up to come to his class. Highly recommend.
One of the greatest professors in Baruch. At times he may sound outlandish but he's a genius. His 2150 class is incredibly interesting. If you don't get an A, you should really evaluate your work ethic.
Pretty easy grade. Just do the work and you'll pass it with an A.
Be prepared to be quizzed on many news articles. Participation will be greatly appreciated by him. Don't lose track of the deadlines for the final paper. Be prepared for an unorthodox classroom manner (he is a little touchy and has an odd sense of humor). He is a fair grader and wants to give you a good grade.
Not your typical college professor, but in a GOOD way. Must read a (kinda long) news article for every class. Quiz every class. Lectures are interesting and about what happens around the world (based on our readings). Movies occasionally. One final 20 page paper at the end, but was worth it. He's very genuine and puts every student to mind.
Made me love writing. Get ready for a lot of in class quizzes and at home reading assignments but they're fun reading assignments that you'll enjoy. also a lot of movie watching and shows. He's a really funny guy and he's super friendly. He's also very sarcastic and likes to make fun of students in a funny way to get the whole class to like him
Easy grader. Very funny. Makes you enjoy the class. Very laid back. He only chooses interesting topics to keep the students engaged. Easily one of the best professors I've had; highly suggest taking him very an easy, fun, and interesting class. (no midterm or final; replaced with long but easy papers). 95% of the class probably got above a B+.
Great professor! He really makes you laugh! A good amount of reading, a lot of creative writing assignments and 2 long but easy papers
Great professor! Only two writing assignments. Quiz every class but its easy As.
Amazing Prof. Would take again if I could. Pop quizzes on television shows. One essay (20+ pages). Best class I've ever taken!
best professor at Baruch! the material in the class wasn't difficult, we had to watch episodes of a tv show everyday; but the show was really good! Professor Mead was really cool and really funny and made attending his class enjoyable!
Hands down the best professor I ever had. The HW consisted of simple articles and TV episodes while the class was jam packed with interesing discussions and a couple of quizes. The guy is not only hilarious but is also an amazing teacher. I enjoyed doing his assignments so much that I actually started writing as a hobby. FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC
I really enjoyed him. We only had a few writing assignments. The final was really easy, and he had mandatory days for us to go to him and he went over the final paper with you. Our homework was basically to watch an episode or two of TV, and the occasional article. In class we discussed the readings and TV show. Highly recommend.
I love this guy, so easy to talk to and plus, he's hilarious. Do your work at home and in class and you'll get an easy A. Would definitely take his course again.
Best professor I've ever had.
This class is pretty fun and very thought-provoking. You have to read a lot, like a lot. The articles are mostly interesting. If you don't read, you will fail the quizzes.
Professor Mead is absolutely great! We have very interesting readings and quizzes based on the reading. Expect a quiz with every reading. We read a lot of crime-based stuff so the readings are actually very captivating and not at all boring. I highly recommend taking Professor Mead as a teacher as he is very helpful and interactive with students.
Awesome class, this guy is really funny and loves to joke around with the class. Papers weren't graded harshly at all, however he assigns lengthy research papers for the honors class (10 pages). Read all the material he assigns, its a lot of reading but you won't pass the quizzes if you don't read. He usually assigns interesting articles.
Good class. You read some interesting articles, discuss said articles, take quizzes and write papers. Rinse and repeat for pretty much the entire semester. Your grade will depend on those things but the papers have the highest weight.
I hate reading but Professor Meadss readings were so interesting! There are two ten page papers which you can either choose between a research paper or write your own story. There are quizzes mostly every class to see if you did the reading. If you did the very interesting reading, you should be fine! Mead is funny and makes class worthwhile..
Best professor ever.
Professor Mead is one of the best profs Ive ever taken. Hes insanely funny and super nice when it comes to grading. The papers he gives are long but fun! Long readings for hw and quizzes almost every class but in overall its a light and fun course.
This is my favorite professor by far, I loved going to his class. He assigns a lot of readings, but most of them are interesting.
the GOAT. take him, and hell make you love english. our whole class was based on cults, mad lit
Take him. The best professor you will ever have at Baruch. Assigned readings every week, short/easy quizzes at the start of class based on the readings, 2 papers that he helps you with. It was the only class I wanted to be in. He is the absolute best!!
TAKE HIM. HE'S AMAZING AND I LOVE HIM. On a serious note, he's super caring and willing to work with you if you had any issues with deadlines or making it to class. Lectures were more like class discussion and it was super interesting. Would recommend him 10000 times over.
Goat professor. If you ever get the chance to take his class, dont pass it up.
Prof. Mead cares a lot about what he's teaching and he makes going to class fun. We only had a 25 page paper but he will read it and help you change what you need to get an A. Definitely take him.
I can't say enough about Prof Mead. Best prof I've ever had. Class was great, fun and not too hard. He is funny, insparational, and just a real pleasure to work with. If all professors were like him, college wouldn't be so stressful. I had a serious family issue and he worked with me and was so helpful I highly suggest you take any class with him.
Prof. Corey Mead is the best Professor I have ever had. Kind and caring and incredible at giving feedback. I looked forward to his class, and I never look forward to class. The readings are great and entertaining. His quizzes are super easy. Two 10-page stories are the major assignments, and they allow to be super creative. The best professor ever!
You're graded by two 10 page papers and quizzes that are given every class. As long as you read the given work, it's really easy to get an A. Really understanding teacher as well and he is very laid back in a good way. Take him if you want to enjoy a class!
Professor Mead used a wide assortment of mediums to cover the course themes - from discussion forums and films to poems and articles, making every class dynamic. He did a great job picking content to cover the course themes via a global lens. Dont slack on readings to pass the quizzes. The course improved my creative writing skills.
Probably my favorite professor in Baruch, so far. The content is super interesting and he is actually a really funny guy. You mostly watch movies during the lectures which are interesting and teach you a lot about cults. 2 papers of about 10-15 pages but he is a very lenient grader. Would highly recommend but hard to get since he's in high demand
Corey Mead is the best professor ever! He made this class the most fun college class I have ever taken. The class was about cults, and we watched shows or read interesting articles rather than books. Mead is enthusiastic and inspiring. I wish all college professors were like him. He is a great person as well. Open to discuss anything with students.
Amazing Professor. Don't understand anyone who doesn't give him a 5. Extremely responsive, eager to help. Lenient grader as long as you do the work. Extremely passionate. Nicest professor. Would recommend to even my future child.
The readings he assigns are super fun, creepy, and interesting (cults). Few, but long and interesting readings. One discussion board per reading is assigned and the two papers he assigned are really open-minded, and I got As on both papers. Take him!!
Truly one of the best english professors at Baruch. The material itself is so interesting, which then makes the work interesting. Mine was fully asynchronous, so we had discussion boards for every reading and two essays. Really easy grader. I wish I took this class in person.
The goat. No questions ask your lucky if you take him
It was great learning about a niche topic despite the limited sessions I had for this class.
The class is based on articles he reads in his free time, so it's pretty interesting. There are quizzes based on the reading usually weekly, but simple questions and easy A if you read. The class is interesting and he does not give out homework besides the article readings and midterm/final which are essay papers with interesting topics.
Great professor in addition to very interesting topics discussed within the duration of the course. Would take for 2150 but doesn't fit into my schedule.
One of the best in Baruch. Definitely in the top 1% of faculty at Baruch who know how to do their job and excel at it. Take him if you have the option.
Best professor at Baruch. He cares, a LOT about his students and the material he teaches! Course is structured around a different theme he chooses every semester (cults, crime, etc) and articles about it are the required reading. Two long papers (around 10 pages) and that's it! He'll give you an A as long as you try.
Def the best professor I've ever had. Every time you have a reading, you'll most likely have a quiz. As long as you read, you'll do fine on the quiz. There is a midterm and final paper that is fairly easy. We watched a few movies throughout the course as well. Overall all, he's very chill, sarcastic, funny, and friendly.
Best english professor ever, class is so easy you watch movies and write papers based on it. Make sure to read the articles because there is a quiz when the day after you read. Articles and the content is interesting and actually fun, it's crime.10/10 would take him again. He has a funny humor too and very understanding.
Literally take him if you are able to. He's great with computers so you can expect to get into the lecture right away with no downtime with set ups.
Legitimately such a great professor. Super chill yet you can tell he knows what he's talking about. The whole class was just him giving very interesting articles and we just talk about in class. The only assignments are quizzes about the article and then 2, 10 pg papers about literally anything you want. Got an A for writing a creative piece.
One of the best classes at Baruch; readings are pretty interesting. Moderately easy pop quiz after most of the readings. He really cares about all his students. I would love too take him again.
Really funny guy that makes a super interesting course. Two 8 page creative papers throughout the course and some small quizzes in between relating to articles. Very fun environment and a light grader.
Corey likes to joke around with students. He only gives two papers but there are quizzes on readings weekly. Papers are easy since he is lenient, however I wish he gave more feedback which helps prepare for higher level courses that are stricter in writing requirements.
Hands down best Professor in Baruch, made every class enjoyable, he had two essays and quizzes every once in a while. High recommend taking him. 10/10 Prof
Best professor hands down. He makes writing class sooooo easy and fun. We watch documentaries and movies. Two papers to write (very lenient about topics). Pop quizzes about readings from the day before which are easy.
10/10 actually likes his students and wants them to learn
One of the best professors, extremely funny, and cares about his students. We have daily quizzes on the readings he assigns but they're extremely easy if you read. Only two 8 page essays the entire semester. He also picks a theme every semester and this semester's theme is crime. The themes he chooses make everything so much more interesting.
Highly recommend for ENG. Doesn't teach like the conventional class where you have lectures, Instead assigns u an interesting story/movie to read for next class. Quiz every class and would start most classes with 30 minutes left. 2 papers to do but very easy to do bc it can be based on anything u learned prior in the class. Very funny and real.
Amazing choice for any English class. Work consists of quizzes which aren't hard if you actually do the reading and 2 papers which you have a lot of freedom on. Interesting topics are covered. Cool and funny guy too.
Trust me just choose him. One of the best english teachers ever. Daily quizzes but they weren't too bad and two writing assignments.
i love this man with all my heart
The best professor in the school. Class is so short and you get two major papers which are easy. Just watch videos and a quiz about reading here and there.
2 big essays to write but they are easy hes not a tough grader with them. He gives pop up quizzes so please read the articles theyre long. Quizzes very detailed and all short responses. I got like Bs on a lot of them but my final grade was still A so dont stress too much but read. Hes also funny and his class was actually entertaining!!!
This professor really set a precedent for me when starting college and having him first semester... He's very chill and down to Earth and chose really great topics to focus on for the Writing I class. Very light workload but when you do get work you feel very motivated to actually do it because of the level of respect & in-class conversations.
Took him for my first semester here and is by far my favorite professor! Only 2 major writing assignments and no hw unless we have a quiz popping up. Really funny guy and makes you want to come to class!
Currently taking him and I really enjoy his class. This semester's topic is crime and extremely interesting. No exams, just a couple pop quizzes here and there to see if you did the reading, interesting reads too. As a finance major, he indirectly even made me think about doing journalism. 2 major writing assignments about any crime, very fun!
I love this literature professor! Genuinely makes this subject fun and enjoyable. Throughout the course, we focused on alien investigation. We would discuss the shows that we watch in class and talk about our own skepticisms. If you care about having fun, and creativity, instead of being bombed by essays, I strongly recommend.
TAKE HIMMMMMMMM!!! easy readings + quizzes. 2 easy essays and if you like crime, his assignments are based on that. Very funny teacher and I would highly recommend.
Very easy class and nice professor
