Reviews of professor Mark Patterson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Patterson is an awesome professor. The first two assignments are somewhat difficult and confusing, but the remaining classwork is pretty easy. Professor can see if you've read the online textbooks and will give a pop quiz if a majority of the class has not read. Overall, a nice and understanding dude. Don't be afraid to participate in class!

Although he is nice, he doesnt really seem to care about mental health. You cant miss any days. You will fail no matter what if you miss more than 5 days. You will be reading ALOT and there is an assignment due every week, even when doing the two papers. He did assign a random pop quiz.

This course is challenging but after you get through the first two papers then you understand how is course work. He is understanding if you reach out, and also make sure that you have good communication on group projects because if you do they will be very easy. He does give pop up quizzes but only if he feels that the class isnt doing the reading

WGS was a super easy class. All of his lectures were just discussions on reading from two books you have to purchase plus some online readings. There was one assignment a week which was super easy and could be completed quickly. One large group project and one large individual project. Beware though he is super opinionated and can be harsh.

The course was challenging because although he was organized, the rubrics and explanations of the papers could have been clearer. Also, the group projects really suck but are necessary for the course for all professors.

Assigned random quizzes for no reason

You'll only have to write a few papers, everything else is little assignments that are easy. Solid choice.
