Reviews of professor Coleman Fannin

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Great man. Love him as a person. His class, however, hurt my soul. There is a reading for every class, so three times a week and they are usually 50-70 pages and never easy to read. I really tried on my first essay and got a grade lower than my friend who wrote the day it was due. I had no idea what he wanted. Finishing the class, I still don't.

I think Fannin gets a bad rap. He's a nice guy and a good professor, but he expects you to be at every class unless medical. He has you do homework/ readings a lot, and then from the reading you will have a very short quiz. The quizzes are easy as long as you pay attention to the readings and take some notes. Hardest part about the class was tests.

While his class is lecture and reading heavy, I love this man. The class is hard, but the reading reports are very fun, as he would always make my ideas feel appreciated. It would always make my day when he commented on my subtle jokes. Hes also very willing to answer any questions, and hes very welcoming when you want to come to office hours.

His feedback on writing assignments was flippin' bipolar. He was a somewhat fair grader on homework assignments and  gave decent feedback, but then when it came to longer essays (WHICH ARE WEIGHTED HEAVIER IN YOUR OVERALL CLASS GRADE AND, THEREFORE, ACTUALLY MATTER), he was harsh with his grading and gave a bunch of unhelpful criticism as feedback.

Dang yall really didnt like him I had a lot of fun in his class tbh. Its a lot of reading, so you have to be pretty self motivated, but Dr. Fannin is a super nice dude, hes pretty funny, and he has some really insightful stuff to say about his topics. His class doesnt make for a good easy credit but its near ideal for personal development.

I never walked out of his class in a good mood. 20 one page single spaced reports a semester. 8 required books. On average read 70-90 pages a night. Three 1500 word essays a semester and the final is two more essays in 2 hour time limit. Want to know what h3ll on earth is? Take this class.

Class is all lectures, 20 one-page reports and readings every day, 3 times a week. The books we read were interesting, but the time you have to allot each week for the class is very significant, so be warned. Also, the lectures are only useful for ideas on essays, most of which he rips into, and it is difficult to understand what he actually wants.

Nothing against him personally, but the subject of his course is not appealing to most students. Course texts are pretty dated and dense. It often takes 3+ hours reading and writing a report per lecture. If you participate in discussion, (extra credit discussion points saved my grade!) and he can see that you're trying, your grade should be ok.
