Reviews of professor Tobias Fuchs

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Tobias is a very caring professor, worries about his students and really wanted us all to learn. Learning with him at Brown was a great experience. His coursework is not very complicated but I did learn a lot from it, he teaches complex subjects in a way that is easy to understand.

Main problem was that he takes a long time grading. Our class only had 3 papers and participation as grades, yet he graded the first paper after we turned in the second. Viewing the first (supposed to be easier) I noticed I repeated the same mistakes in my second paper. If I knew ahead of time, I could have improved my writing and done better.

I loved Professor Fuchs, he was very easy going and definitely made his class chill. Half the time my class would never do the assigned reading and he would turn the class discussion into something that everyone could participate in. His office hours and super helpful and he assigned so much extra credit I got a 98 in his class. Super sweet guy!

The course was super easy. Grades consisted of participation, reading responses, and 3 papers. He was a picky grader on the papers. The time it took him to give feedback was atrocious. 3-4 weeks to get a response on our first paper. I didn't know where my grade was by the last week of school because he never puts any grades in.

The best professor I've had at IIT! Genuinely wants his students to be as interested in his subject as he is but super understanding if they're not- he doesn't expect everyone to love what he's talking about. As for grading, also super reasonable and doesn't want to place a burden on anyone. If you have a chance to take him, don't hesitate!!
