Reviews of professor Richard Futrell

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I really enjoyed this class and this professor. He is a very good lecturer. Weekly homework but not hard at all. Exams are all open notes, open book and non-cumulative. Would definitely recommend this if you're looking for an easy GPA booster!

Great at thoroughly explaining topics. As long as you take notes and watch the lecture videos, you'll excel in the class

I'd say as long as you take notes about the lectures and pay attention, you should be good. It's a very interesting class and the grading is fair. Recommend 10/10

Prof. Futrell is a really nice guy and he is very passionate about his field of study. You actually need to try pretty hard to fail his tests because he lets you use the slides, notes, and book (he even lets you use your laptop). The homework is generally difficult and kind of impossible to get full points on, but the class is pretty enjoyable

Professor Futrell is very passionate about his lectures and explains his material very clearly. Coming into the quarter, the course somewhat intimidated me by the name and the initial materials we were learning. However, as the class progressed it was very smooth and enjoyable for me. He is super nice and caring. Definitely would take him again!

Discussion attendance is part of your grade, but lectures are asynchronous since all of his videos are pre-recorded. There is no textbook to use. Discussions are very helpful with the homework since they serve as extra practice.
