Reviews of professor Grant Bain

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
He's always down to help you with anything you need for his writing assignments, but just be careful of the spontaneous graded peer reviews, and the graded 'planning meetings.' There's also not much insight as to why you'd get low grades on assignments. He does give 2 day grace periods on all assignments though, so that's amazing.

Dr. Bain is easy to reach outside of class and provides great feedback, especially if you attend office hours. Attendance is mandatory and basically no absence will be excused. The class is interesting and not too hard if you put in a little bit of work and go to class.

Dr. Bain was one of the best lecturers during this semester however this is a reading heavy class. I took E140 (The Study of Literature) thinking it would be a very broad / general study across disciplines. For this semester it was the study of lit through detective fiction which made a lot of these readings difficult. 4 novels throughout the semes

very boring, repetitive, and not engaging

Dr. Bain was a really great professor and very approachable. In my class, we spent a lot of time reading a piece of literature and discussing it in class. There were 3 major assignments that landed during times of midterms and finals. He allows you to turn in a draft and have time for peer review. Would recommend!

The contents of this class were surprisingly interesting and Professor Bain made it better. He's very passionate about the material that he teaches and class engagement is required. If you're not one to attend class, you will not enjoy this class. Notes are a required assignment and are not offered outside of the classroom.

Very strict with attendance and quizzes over the reading. Don't expect to be able to slack much in this class. Expect multiple papers due on the same day. Lots of reading (not much of it being interesting). Gives good feedback on essays before they are due.
