Reviews of professor Pat McDonald

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I really respect him, however he is the most vague professor I have E V E R had. I am a very black and white person and appreciate very clear instructions, however it seems he is uncapable of that. Attendance is not mandatory, random pop quizzes (oh yeah he takes off participation points for whatever you miss on these :))))))))))

The readings are boring, but he makes in class discussions fun if every one is actively participating. He grades harshly towards the end of the semester for your research paper. Midterm and final are easy. He's pretty funny. Show up to class because participation counts towards your grade.

hate english but hes a cool guy. his class isnt that bad just kinda boring bc its arguably the worst time period in history. hes laidback and if your class actually does the reading and mostly participates during discussion then he probably wont give random quizzes. 2 essays that dont have a specific topic but I think hes a pretty fair grader

Attendance policy but never took attendance. Participation, reading responses, midterm, final, research paper, one other writing assignment. If you miss class just get notes from someone. Fairly easy if you put in minimal effort. He also makes class interesting!

A really great class. If you do the reading, you'll be fine. He makes the stuffy reading of early American literature easy to understand and fun to learn.
