Reviews of professor Sean McAlister

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He is a nice guy who tries to make class enjoyable. However, I found the majority of his lectures ultimately useless and a waste of time considering what we were being marked on. Gives 2 written assignments throughout the term, so final research paper and exam end up being worth ~50-60% of your grade. Kind of lazy.

He is an amazing teacher would highly recommend taking him. He is willing to help students and has very flexible office hours, it is quite helpful if you attend his office hours. You will not regret taking his class.

Sean is a fantastic instructor. At the beginning he was very attentive and present with his students; however, about half way through the course he kind of disappeared. Barely any communications, would take up to a week to get back to you (if at all), and absent for his own office hours. Lovely guy, but I felt like he checked out of his role a bit.

Sean is a very nice and approachable professor but this class was SO BORING. Readings and analyzation of passages basically sums up this course. He uses D2L which is great but his feedback is very generic and just restates the questions asked. There is 1 midterm, 1 summary, 1 paper, and 1 final. "Scholarly conversation" is important to Sean.

Sean is a wonderful English prof. He has a lot of readings you have to respond to, but this is mandatory participation. He is very caring. He responds to e-mails promptly and makes sure you understand the essay instructions clearly. Fair with his grading as well, and overall wants his students to succeed. Only complaint, short stories are boring.

Wether it would be American or World Literature - Sean is always in his element. Very inspiring instructor who respects his students and treats them as his own family. This was the second course that I took with him, and I would gladly choose him again. Fair grader, with helpful feed backs. I would recommend him always.
