Reviews of professor Jonathan Carter

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
It's an online class, but he uploads great video lectures every week that have a powerpoint you can follow along with on panopto. Likewise, the grade is based heavily on weekly discussions where you have to post videos responding to prompts. If you do the work, you get the grade. Sad I didn't know he was a prof here before senior year.

I had Prof Carter for "Public Discourse Analysis", which is flagged as "writing intensive". He has the most comprehensive, and transparent grading rubrics I've ever seen, and critiqued everyone's rough drafts a week before the due date. He really wants his students to do well, and if you put in the work, he'll do his best to help you.

This guy gives very difficulty tests. Wording is tricky at times and essay questions are very specific and demanding. The format of the class was interesting, majority of assignments come in the form of video posts in which he's looking for mastery of course material to be demonstrated. Key to success... give him exactly what he asks for.

Carter cares about his classes. He makes assignments very clear. You must read and go to class to write a good paper and hit all the requirements. Ask questions if you need clarification, he helps! Four papers, and a weekly reading assignment.

This course was extremely stressful and confusing. You have a video discussion each week and need to respond to classmates. There are 3 quizzes and two papers. Our first quiz had content that was from a book we did not have and set a negative tone for the course. I didn't learn anything from this class and will never take this prof again.
