Reviews of professor Patrick Walter

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Walter is VERY knowledgable about what he teaches. I took African American Music, and I learned a lot. The class isn't too difficult, and he doesn't assign too much homework. He does a good job of relating the class to current day music and phenomena. The class focuses a lot on African American history in addition to solely music.

As a senior, Dr. Walter is the best professor I have ever had, and this is the coolest course I've attended. TAKE THIS COURSE OR YOU WILL REGRET IT!

I'm currently taking a class with this prof., and this is one of the worst professors I've had. Emails back slowly, if at all, changes his already strict attendance policy mid-semester, asks his class of predominantly Black students to police their facial expressions, and all-around makes an uncomfortable environment.

prof walter is a chill and funny guy, his lectures were very interesting. grading is done by the ta, the one i had was really nice and a lenient grader. lecture and discussion attendance is mandatory. the class is reading heavy but i personally never did any of them, just make sure to take notes over his lecture slides (he doesn't post them)

Dr. Walter is a very chill and enjoyable professor. He makes his class extremely easy and grades very generously. The only bad thing about him is that his Canvas is partially disorganized. Overall, very an amazing professor. I highly recommend taking him.

This man is never accessible outside of class and does not respond to emails. He does not follow through on his office hours either. He does not even provide a proper email to students, simply his "canvas email."The course content is good, but he needs to get his act together.

this is the goldmine of all ugs classes. if you get walter youre not only lucky to get those annoying cultural flags out the way but also lucky to get an easy A if you put in the bare minimum. attendance is required but im not complaining one bit. take this class!

Dr. Walter is very dedicated towards what he teaches, and it shows. If you pay attention and take down notes during his lectures, his quizzes and essays are very straight up and easy to get a 100 on, and the workload is very little, so it is less time consuming. Definitely recommend to take a course with this professor if you can.
