Reviews of professor Neal Klomp

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The class overall was easy but a lot of work. 5 main papers/projects that your grade relies on, plus smaller assignments that aren't worth many points. He takes awhile to respond and sometimes doesn't directly answer a question. Says if you don't read/use textbook you won't do well in the class but I got an A and barely used the book. Easy grader.

Didn't lecture much on writing. In-person class (pre-Covid) was mostly discussion of the reading material, more like a sociology class. Everybody is required to speak, and some discussions could get controversial. Quite a bit of homework: 2 pages of reading journal per week and a paper about every other week, plus prewriting assignments.

Neal is a great professor. He genuinely cares about his students and makes sure they succeed. He is not a hard grader and gives ample time to complete assignments. The essays can be challenging, but as long as you complete them with effort the class is an easy A.

lots of writing and class discussion boards, grades fairly, and very understanding. Helps when needed via zoom, easy to contact as well. Communicate if you need more time on an assignment he'll help out. A Pretty good professor, plan out your assignments so you dont fall behind, it can pile up fast. Actually try in the class, not an easy A.
