Reviews of professor David Durian

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Durian's ENG101 class involves some more writing than other classes at Bloom, but the assignments you have to do all pretty much go toward the final research paper you have to do so the work for that is spread throughout the semester rather than all at the end which I really like. Definitely recommend him for taking ENG101 class!

I had this professor for 311, as well. Compared to other linguistics courses at BU, his was actually easier to follow, and the questions on his exams were actually a lot more reasonable than other professors, as well. He wants to help students--if you are struggling, go to office hours. He helped me a lot there.

Exams are online and open book/note, but he only gives you 50 minutes to answer 25 questions that are fill in the blank and short answer. SO MUCH HOMEWORK but it's only worth 20% of your overall grade. He takes attendance every day but only takes points off for missing class. LECTURES ARE SO BORING, but you have to go because he takes attendance.

Did English 111 online. Class interesting, especially for education folks. Learn a lot about language diversity in the US. Make sure you do the readings-- he lectures on topics that bounce off what you read, but are not just repeating it. Gives essay tests, but they aren't bad if you write notes ahead of time. Nice guy--would def take him again.
