Reviews of professor Sean Duncan

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Harsh grading and excessive work. Obsessed with himself and disregards the students all together.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This professor is very ineffective at helping students learn. I received really harsh feedback from the instructor on multiple occasions that were just critical, not constructive. I found the instructor incredibly difficult to work with. He is unapproachable and I would not recommend any class with Professor Duncan

Sean's standards are unrealistically high. Very meticulous and tough grader. He purposefully will assign short essays that are either pass/ fail ( 0 or 100, no in between) to serve as a "slap in the face" to improve student's writing. Can be condescending and stubborn to change standards, even if an entire class is struggling overall.

Despite the reviews on here, I wanted to give Prof Duncan a chance. Unfortunately, I should have listened to the reviews. He gives detailed feedback on assignments, yes, but he is the toughest grader I have ever had in my life. If you sign up for one of his classes, prepare to spend all of your time on his class, because if you don't, you will fail

I cant warn enough people about Sean Duncan. Whatever you do, never take a class from him. His grading system is extremely unfair as he waits weeks to return the large amounts of work he assigns, so you are not given time to grow from his feedback, so his spec system fails. He generally is not successful in teaching the course. He is also very rude

Worst grader of all time

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This professor assigned too much work and even admitted it but did not change anything. He grades harshly. I spent more time doing work in this class than any other class. His feedback was rude. The grading system is a complete mess. It's basically a pass or fail system per assignment but a pass is an A+. Avoid this professor's classes if you can.

Worst professor I've ever hard. Sean was such a harsh grader and very stubborn with his class policies. There is a ton of writing involved and all of his assignments were extremely broad with his expectations being very high. Don't take this class if you don't have to.

Don't do it. He seems to find a way to give feedback in the most rude way possible, which not only discourages students from approaching him for help but really hurts the class's confidence overall. He has a very specific interpretation for grading that is seemingly hidden from students. Very difficult class with strict grading.
