WINDER T J
found the way he structured and organized the course confusing. he had weekly reading reflections due on mondays, but on the course calendar the due dates were always on tuesday. if you turned the reflection in on tuesday then you would get half credit. that's just one example.
Great lectures, all course material and structure is laid out well. He cares about his course and expands on a wide breathe of histories and cultures, you have a good mix of media and writing assignments with weekly quiz/checkpoints. You can get a lot out of this class if you give him the time and use your right hemisphere sometimes.
Same structure as his other classes. 2 papers midterm and final. The TA for this class was such a nice grader. Online quizzes on reading. If you need a relatively easy class take one with him.
2 writing assignments (1 reflection 1 midterm), 5 discussion posts (out of a possible 8), 4 quizzes on lecture and films, and a group final. Grading on writing assignments can be a little tough but overall, very great professor. Final is a group object where you pick what you do.
Took this professor Spring quarter for queer/comm media and it was a very well planned out course. attendance is not mandatory but you won't understand what's going on if you miss. Learning checks weekly which is basically a quiz on the material we've learned so far, but he tells you what material to know going into it.
fun professor, really enjoyed his lectures and humor. the class wasn't super easy but it definitely wasn't hard. about 5 reading quizzes which were probably the most difficult thing in the course but you could pass if you read abstracts and skimmed. 2 papers that were doable, i would take another class with him
