Reviews of professor Michael Raines

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Lectures are interesting and Prof Raines does a great job explaining/providing tips for the essays. He is always willing to help when you ask and gives great feedback. Only criticism is that he was slow in returning essay grades. Attendance is mandatory as he will drop you by letter grades for certain numbers of absences. The pace is fast but fair.

I had Dr. Raines for English 1301. I had never previously struggled with writing essays until his class. He can be very harsh in his critiques but I think he is just trying to be helpful in his way. No headphones in class. Pay attention. Ask questions. Stay involved. You should not fail this class, but it can be difficult to make an A.

Dr. Raines is an amazing professor, he gives you good feedback in your essay. He loves student participating and is very understanding, he usually extends the due dates for everyone. But he hates the use of phones or having earphones in during his lectures. He's always willing to help his students and is very energetic. Textbook was required.

I would never sign up for his class. He grades insanely tough despite my best efforts. He isnt kind with commentary on papers sometimes and youll have to follow a million steps just to submit an essay. I dont know if hes tough because he cares or because he actually hates the work he gets from students.

He is an amazing Professor! He is extremely lenient when it comes to turning in assingments and will work with you if you are having trouble. He is incredibly approachable and has a fun and relazed personality. He loves to see students discover things about their topic, he also loves to see students show how passionate they are about the topic!

He is very energetic and so kind. He's been the best professor I've had thus far in my college career. I never fell asleep in his class, nor did I feel tired of being there. I always wanted to come and I produced my best work in his class. I worked through my skills and strengthened my weak areas. It was an amazing course, amazing professor.

Dr. Raines was an amazing English professor in my opinion! The class is mainly graded upon 3 major papers. Dr. Raines gives you a chance to get peer reviewed through a rough draft before turning in a final copy. Very helpful during 1-to-1 conversations. Very lenient & hilarious. Just listen to his feedback & you will pass.

If writing isn't your strong suit, utilize campus resources like tutoring or the writing center :)
