Reviews of professor Brian Whalen

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Hes a very nice guy, cares a lot about his students and wants us to actually learn and engage. Hes a fair grader and gives extra credit, but get ready to write. You have 200 word reading journals due each class, 3 Creative Reflections where you respond/relate to the text, and a Poetry Analysis. Highly recommend for English majors.

Such a nice guy! He respects his students and tries to keep us engaged all class long by doing work in small groups, listening to music, or looking at art. Not just boring discussions. Our only homework are daily reading journals which must be turned in at the beginning of every class but they are easy

Dr. Whalen will give you extensions whenever you need them! He is very understanding and a fast email responder. His lectures go the full length but were always beneficial for class. Take his class! You will definitely get an A and if not you can resubmit for extra credit to get an A!

Dr. Whalen gives the most feedback of any teacher I have had in college! If you want to learn and improve, take his classes. He makes class so fun, laid-back, and informative. You will 100% leave with a better ability to write and give feedback on other peoples writing! Great teacher!!!

Pretty easy and relaxed grader on papers. Only 3 - 1500 word papers the whole semester, with a few easy short assignments as well. Really flexible with due dates and super understanding. Definitely recommend for EN 101-103. You can miss class up to 6 times w/o it affecting your grade.
