Reviews of professor Richard Carr Jr.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Very unimpressed. He was roughly 10-15 minutes late for almost every class. Classes were often ended an hour early, and YouTube videos were shown for a substantial portion of the class time. If you have already taken a writing course in High School you won't be learning much. Making the changes he suggests to rough drafts still won't get you an A.

He's very professional, but also a really tough grader. We had to do a lot of long essays, which was pretty stressful. I'm not the best writer, but I still wish that my essays were graded higher because of how much time spent on them. Maybe if it were in-person instead of online, it would be different.

Show up on time, participate and contribute to class discussions and do things on time. He was pretty easy going with my class and helped with good feedback. Take notes and pay attention. Don't be on your phone, he kinda hates that. he's very strict on having things stapled when you turn it in, so make sure you don't turn in loose papers!!!

I believe taking this course with him was a introduction to English. The corona virus out break made it difficult to get the full in class experience but he does truly care about his students. He also does grade your essays to the t, so I would make sure you don't gaff them off until the last minute. Richard is a great teacher, and highly proffesio

He made us buy a book that we didn't even use. 4 total essays. Topics are actually very interesting. Lots of reading and homework at times but it's manageable. Tough grader. I got one A for an essay and the rest are B's. He grades you for all 4 essays, class participation, notebook check and final exam. Final exam is easy but just study.

Cool dude. He appreciates student participation and is more generous to the ones who decide to. Attendance matters and he is pretty open minded on extensions if ask in advance. Works well with accommodations and has opportunities to speak 1:1 to review essays/work. Its not an "Easy" A, but getting an A is not extremely difficult. Id take him again
