Reviews of professor Russell Black

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
excellent professor- class is discussion heavy, and assignments are mostly journal-style prose narratives. we only had two actual academic papers, and there was a lot of freedom for creativity and choice of thesis.

Dr. Black genuinely cares about his students and is very helpful. He does class check ins to see if we need more time to complete what he has assigned. He is also willing to help outside of class and always encourages questions. The work load is on the lighter to average side. Weekly assignments are definitely manageable and there are 2 essays.

Dr. Black is a caring and helpful professor. He was always available outside of class and encouraged students to contact him with any questions. Weekly assignments were not difficult. 2 essays for the course that are written on a topic of your choice. Class was an easy A and a good transition into a college level English class.

Dr. Black is an interesting professor. I was really looking forward to his class as I saw he had amazing reviews on here, but that being said, I genuinely do not think I got anything out of taking his class. Many class periods were spent talking about things not relevant to the class. It was frustrating and he rarely answered emails.
