From Resident Evil and Amnesia to The Haunting of Hill House and Cabin in the Woods, stories centering on haunted spaces are a staple of the horror genre. This seminar explores multiple media about crossing horrifying thresholds and considers how they each reflect contemporaneous societal concerns and mores.

WRIT2 . Rutherford K A Month Ago

Professor Rutherford is such a nice guy. class is easy and straightforward. he's very open to extensions. does a bit of a weird grading system: if you just do the assignments, you get a B, and then you have to do a few extra assignments/revisions to get an A. some of the projects/writings are kind of annoying but as to be expected and super chill

Make sure you're engaged in class and doing more than the minimum requirements and you'll get an A in his class. He's very nice and definitely knows his stuff.

Kevin is a great professor! As long as you try, you will pass the class. You have to do a few extra steps to actually get an A in the class, but that depends on you. Kevin is super chill and easy to talk to.

This professor was amazing! I am at the end of my time in this class. He is super easy to talk to and the assignments are really fun! This is the class I really look forward to!

Overall Kevin is a great professor. He's kind and whatnot. However, he appears to try really hard to stand out and uses his website outside of Canvas which kind of overcomplicates things for those who aren't very tech savvy. If you're looking to take one of his courses I'd just recommend becoming more familiar with the ins and outs of Google Drive.
