Reviews of professor Christopher Ewing

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Ewing is an amazing teacher and I would recommend him to any of my friends! He is caring, accommodating, and very passionate about what he teaches. The open-discussions during zoom calls assisted in understanding the lectures and reading materials he provided!

He is an amazing professor and I really love learning about queer in history and would definitely take it again! He is also very flexible if you're struggling to meet the deadline, just communicate with him. We had no exams, just papers as I love writing my final paper. 100% recommend!!

If you're a history major i'd advise you to take literally ANY other elective. This course was very disorganized and we never got any grades back. At the end of the semester he still hadn't given us our midterms and he doesn't even bother to use blackboard so it was very frustrating. He also assigns way more work/reading/movies then most courses.

He clearly really cares about what he's teaching. That being said, this was listed as a history class but the format is not the usual VCU format. There was a LOT of reading, usually one document per class. Lots of class discussion and not a lot of note taking. The quality of the class is good, but if document analysis isn't your thing, beware.

Really sweet person, but his class was quite boring. The two weekly discussion boards, never-ending papers, and weekly readings (which were rather uninteresting) could feel overwhelming at times. It also took him forever to provide guidelines, feedback, and grades for assignments.

Definitely take Dr. Ewing's Queer Pasts class if you can! I felt a good level of challenged and he kept the subject matter interesting and relevant. My favorite thing about this class was his teaching style. He gestures a lot and projects and makes a lot of funny quips that I LIVE for. We were in a huge lecture room but his warmth filled it!

Professor Ewing is a great teacher. He has a background in history, so he is really good at explaining the historical context behind global feminist theories. His class was really fun, and he is very reasonable with his expectations.

Really awesome professor, very engaging lecturer! Lots of readings that are sometimes hard to digest, read it anyways, make note of what you didn't understand, and bring it up in class. He doesn't expect you to understand all the materials--just engage with them. Seminar style class, be ready to participate.
