the class was graded by participation, mini research paper, 4 film reviews, pop quizzes, and a final paper. he grades based off of letters and not numbers (you'll receive an A instead of 90) and he never inserts grades into canvas so you wont know your grade until it is in gold. never answers emails and does pop quizzed based on readings.I did p/np

Lectures were so so messy and all over the place. If there weren't TA sections, I would have failed this class. Would drift off topic during lectures as well.

I stopped attending lectures because I got nothing out of them; the professor would ramble on about things that did not correlate to the reading, like his hometown. The test is fill-in and blank, if memorization is not your strong suit, you will suffer. Do anything in your power to not take this class; it'll save you a lot of stress.

graded solely on section attendance, midterm, paper, and final. the paper and final occur around the same time. both tests have a fill in the blank section, which was absolutely ridiculous and taught nothing. the paper had no prompt, the only requirement was the page count. did not specify in the course description that the class was only poetry.

Lectures were unorganized/all over the place. Didn't know what was going on half the time. Only graded on section attendance, midterm & final, and paper. Exams are fill in the blank and a short response. Really didn't like the fill in the blank part, as that teaches nothing about the content of the readings and was hard to study.

Kinda funny, but that's it. Unorganized and confusing lectures. Doesn't post grades and only accepts assignments through email, but he won't email you back. Spontaneously assigns writing assignments during class rather than sticking to the schedule in the syllabus. No grading criteria. For a poetry lab, we never actually write poetry.
