REYNOLDS D F
He's retired now but had him last quarter and he was great. Very unique class with great experiences such as cooking and dancing sections. The book we read was really good and I learned so much about arab culture during this quarter.
Had him last year for C LIT 32. He was the GOAT and lowk sad he's retired now
He said he's retiring, but also said he might come back to volunteer teach a class. If you are in the future and see that he is teaching a class, take it! The best kind of old soul out there, extremely knowledgeable and personable. Wish I took more classes with him!
Professor Reynolds is genuinely kind and so passionate about what he teaches which makes learning the material that much more enjoyable and interesting. He is someone with such an interesting life story and so many amazing stories from his field work. Definitely would recommend taking his class and talking to him about his career/interests.
Prof Reynolds gives a lot of extra credit opportunities so if you aren't doing pass/no pass I would recommend doing the effort for extra credit to easily get an A or A+. He also says what to study for the midterm/final. Technically attendance isn't mandatory but there were pop quizzes in some of the lectures. Attendance was mandatory for section.
Very standard GE. Pretty interesting class and not to hard. Lots of EC opportunities, and theres a review for the midterm and final. Attendance isn't mandatory but there are pop quizzes although he does like to indirectly tell you if there will be one next class. Wants everyone to do well and has pretty interesting content. Would take again.
