The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
Getting an A likely requires steady reading, participation, essay effort, and using his feedback rather than last-minute work.
All evidence is from in-person classes, with no online reviews.
Is the course easy?
The course content is manageable, but frequent reading, discussions, and exact essay expectations make it more than an easy class.
Only in-person reviews describe the course difficulty.
Is attendance flexible?
Students repeatedly say to show up and be prepared, but the reviews do not clearly prove a strict attendance policy.
The in-person evidence emphasizes attendance and participation, while online evidence is absent.
Is this professor recommended?
Students strongly recommend him because he teaches well, gives useful feedback, and helps students succeed.
Recommendation evidence comes entirely from in-person reviews.
