Reviews of professor Sean Trende

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Lecture cover a lot of material and you never know what could be on the weekly quizzes. Quiz questions are often framed for more than one answer to be correct but if you dont pick the specific one he wants you dont get credit.

Mr. Trende was a very nice guy. His class was lecture heavy but he made it interesting by relating to us and making jokes. The one issue I had with him was I could rarely reach him outside of class. Also all of his assignments had barely any explanation and he would add additional topics we had to cover that we not written in the assignment rubric.

Sean Trende is one of the best teachers/professors I have ever had. He makes class interesting and he really cares about his students. I think I laughed out loud during almost every single lecture I was in. He knows his students are human. There are a good amount of quizzes but if you study you will do well.

Sean is my favorite professor. He makes the material make a lot of sense through funny analogies, keeping the class light but thorough. I have gotten to know him really well because he is so accessible and it is clear that he really wants his students to succeed.

He is established in his field, has a sense of humor, and cares for his students. However, this doesn't make him a good teacher. Lectures were disorganized, the syllabus was completely different from the actual course, he was unreachable outside of class, and the second half of the semester was just watching him code. Not a hard A, but not good.

I really enjoyed this class. Prof Trende is really passionate about what he does and teaches and it shows. The class was weighted like 60% attendance and 40% quizzes and then a midterm and a final. If you show up, pay attention, and then study a little for weekly quizzes you'll do fine.

Sean is by far one of my favorite professors. Wants his students to succeed. Only 6 quizzes a midterm and a final. Reuses the quiz questions on midterm and final. Sometimes lectures can be boring.

I had to travel a lot for athletics and would need to makeup exams/papers. Professor failed to email me back until THE DAY OF the exam. Very inconsistent and confusing.

Is basically a famous political scientist. He makes this class exciting just by the way he brings the content to life. One of the most interesting people Ive ever met. 10/10 would recommend. Doesnt believe in homework and just wants you to understand the material.
