Key questions
Is this an easy A?
A grades are possible, but students repeatedly say they come from heavy writing, attendance, and steady effort.
Online evidence points to a much harder and less forgiving experience, while in-person evidence shows effort can pay off.
Is the course easy?
The course is intellectually manageable but demanding because it centers on frequent essays, research, and sustained writing.
Online evidence calls the course very hard, while in-person evidence frames it as challenging but worthwhile.
Is attendance flexible?
Most in-person reviews say attendance is graded or essential, while the only online review says attendance was not mandatory.
Attendance is flexible only in the online review and strict in the in-person reviews.
Is this professor recommended?
Students recommend him when they value feedback and growth, but not when they want a light or forgiving writing class.
In-person reviews are mostly recommended, while the online review is clearly negative.
