Great guy, great teacher. He genuinely cares about his students and respects everyone in the classroom. LOTS of class discussions, through out the semester we touched a lot of interesting subjects. He is really understanding also. He does give surprise quizzes sometimes, but as long as you read through the material, you should be good.

Fall '19. Books teach you more how to write the types of essays. In class: just discuss readings which can help think & make up new ideas. 2 in class essays, 3 take home. He gives you a chance to correct take home ones. He's a TOUGH grader, but overall you WILL improve in your writing. He's VERY understanding & knows life gets in the way sometimes.

So first off this professor makes up rules that dont exist. He grades on how he likes you as a a student and gives women higher grades for the same grade of work honestly this professor gives too much work and just favorites students take this class if you expect to barely pass if you even pass.

It feels like his grading is subjective, no clear grading criteria. Buying the book isn't necessary. Your essays have to be super interesting for him to give you full or close to full credit. Each point on the assignments is literally one full percentage of your grade. Overwhelms you with litterature before getting to the point of the assignment.

If you're lucky he'll leave a compliment. He takes a while to grade but I believe that was due to personal issues this semester. He requires the book but you don't use it. Great professor.
