Reviews of professor Evan Reibsome

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
While he is very knowledgable he has very high expectations for his students and expects to remember a lot of stuff from high school. He introduced a new concept and didn't clearly explain how to use it which cost a lot of students their papers. While very kind he is also very strict and expects almost cookie-cutter results. So be wary.

Id also tag extra credit, beware of pop quizzes, clear grading criteria, and participation matters. He clearly communicates expectations and does a stellar job at getting the class to engage. Lectures are more like laid back conversation about the text, and it was really refreshing and thought provoking. Would absolutely take him again!

I made an A in this class, but I had to REALLY work for an A. I'm talking about reading the material word for word, using the internet for additional information, participating in class daily, and answering test questions with specific terminology. Reibsome is intelligent and can be understanding, but you have to put in the time to get the grade.

Loved his class. He genuinely cares about students and their success in his course. Makes his lectures applicable in real life. He takes attendance but understands extenuating circumstances. Must participate in class for a grade. Midterm and final are essay/short answer to avoid writing a final paper. Overall a great guy and professor!!

Awesome professor. Very nice and helps whenever you need it. Papers take time but if you show your trying he will explain everything. You get the grade that you work for.

grades papers like he is the general of the english lit military. he will absolutely annihilate any sort of confidence you have in writing. there is nothing that you can do right in his class unless you are one of the few grad students that he shows favoritism too. wont speak up in class when things gets heated and lets the students run the class.

Great professor who cares about his students being good writers. Makes the course as interesting as possible. You will have a few major papers but the writing process takes up 50% of the grade so focus on doing everything. Even if you aren't a good writer you can still get a good grade.

tough grader,no rubric for grading,only looks for key orders,will not accept the equivalent of that phrase or word, only two test that count for 60% of grade, reading every night,if whole class does not read, will cancel class, mark you absent,only take class if you are prepared for lots of all nighters, stress, and tears, only his opinion accepted

As long as you attend class and take notes on what the poem/ story was about youll be prepared . The class is just a lot of reading and talking about what you read. He likes to give pop quizzes on the names of characters. For exams he looks for key words.
