prof. reeve seems like a kind/passionate professor, but his lectures are rather boring :/. he does require attendance though for iclicker! be prepared to read a LOT of books and write a bunch. i dont recommend taking this class as a GE.
I think I just personally wasn't a fan of Reeve and it may have to do with just the class material in general. I chose the creative project as my midterm and the feedback was lowkey harsh. I ended up doing better on the second paper though. Just a lot to get through and he gets pissed if you don't pay attention during lectures.
Changed attendance from optional to mandatory mid-semester. Not a necessarily rude professor but by no means pleasant. Required specific ISBN for the 6 or so books we read. TA's do the heavy-lifting while he fantasizes about medieval history.
Stresses that even 1 absence would cause you to not do well in the class yet goes on vacation in the beginning of the quarter. Readings are upwards of 100pg long poems per week. Will ask opinions and thoughts on the material then immediately degrades your opinion. Discussions are awkwardly quiet and mostly consist of him rambling for 3 hours.
really, really boring class. not entirely this dude's fault, but he certainly didn't make it interesting. randomly started taking attendance in the middle of the qtr so don't skip class because he WILL check. sucks bc lectures are totally pointless. also requires a ton of books, try to find pdfs online but its hard bc he requires specific versions
He will call you out if you speak or make noise during lecture. His lecture slides are walls of text, and he does not post them on Gauchospace. He requires extremely specific versions of several books (he gives a list of ISBNs you must adhere to). His lectures heavily focus on medieval history as opposed to literature and are mind numbingly dull.
His lectures are bearable. Shout out to the TAs though, bec they pull through and actually make this class bearable. Joyce fr one of the best TAs I have ever had.
SUCH a sweet professor! Very understanding of students' mental health due to the pandemic and other factors. The lectures are so fun to watch, and he does a great job at explaining the material. Answered all of my questions during office hours, and is willing to meet outside of his regular office hours. 10/10 professor
We had 3 graded assignments: midterm, final, participation journal. Given that, I felt graded harshly on the midterm, considering it was very difficult to raise your grade. Lots of reading, without designated pages that corresponded to lectures. We didn't hear much about the expectations of the midterm or do much practice before it was due.
