Reviews of professor Brian Whalen

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Love Dr. Whalen. Gave a lot of work, but it was work that helped us grow, compared to the usual stupid homework. Very easy grader and learned a lot more than most english teachers.

A really good professor, sometimes gave busy work. Other than that his class was basically essays and journals. The only dislike would be is that he only put in grades at the end of the semester.

He is such a wonderful professor. He really cares for his students and their success. 100% would recommend taking his class. He always gave me positive feedback and really pushed me to write and do better. The class itself is pretty explanatory but he really made class interesting.

Had him for Creative Writing. He's probably one of the favorite professors I've ever had--super willing to give extensions, nice, understanding, gives really good feedback on projects. We had a poetry project where he sat down and met with every person on theirs. There are some readings but I found them all online for free. 100% recommend!!

I've always hated eng classes but this his class was the best I have taken. He does ALOT of group activities and tends to go on a tangent occasionally but it is obvious he is passionate about what he teaches and actually cares about his students. Definitely take him if you have the chance.

Brian is the best english teacher I have ever had, his lectures were very small, like 10 ppl max and he was very interactive with each person. Was super easy to talk to and had amazing feedback for me on any assignment that I did and always gave extra time if needed. Was the type of teacher to check up on you at any time to make sure things are ok!

Very nice and caring professor. He's new to teaching, but he's more than willing to work with you if you have difficult things going on in your life. He was very relaxed during class and more than willing to allow you to listen to music while you work. If I could've taken him again for Freshman Composition 102, I totally would have!

Professor Whalen was my fav professor this semester! He is fun, class is interesting, and he is so helpful with assignments. He has clear expectations and is great about helping people understand those. I loved his class and will definitely be taking hime again later on in my major.

Dr. Whalen is by far one of my favorite professors I have had so far at UA. He genuinely cares about his students and helping them when needed and is always open to have conversations after class, even if that means walking down the hall together. Such a sweet and caring man. Manage your time well and submit things on time, you'll get an A+.
