Reviews of professor Robert Duffy

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Super kind prof. I had his expos class asynchronously. I found the class to be really easy because he teaches you how to close read and how to form the kind of essay he expects. His lectures and writing workshops are super helpful. I def grew to love his class. Hes def not out to purposely fail anyone. Easy A if youre engaged and do the work.

Lectures are boring and hard to pay attention to, necessary if you want to pass exams. Posted slides are very vague. Explanations of graphs come from lecture. Recitation is easy. He tends to lecture on one or two slides for majority, so just get the main points. Exams were hard for me, not sure how to study. Questions in articles appear on exams.

He taught expos for the freshman and as a transfer sophomore who needed to take this class he was the easiest teacher Ive ever had. My writing improved a lot and he always gave great feedback and exercises we could us to improve our writing based on his grading criteria. Very great professor and super easy to pass

I enjoyed this class - It was pretty lecture heavy but the assignments were easy to complete. Just be sure to answer the questions fully and use evidence that you got it from the readings and/or lectures when applicable. Grading was based on an A, B, C system, no in between grades however it was not hard to get in A in this class
