Reviews of professor James Reeves

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Take. Professor. Reeves. By far the most compassionate, articulate, and helpful professor I've ever had! Read and put effort into your essays, and you'll do just fine (not every piece of literature is interesting, but that's not his fault!)

Reeves is awesome! I had him for World Lit and Mythology. Got A's in both classes. Fair grader and gives feedback, really cares about his students and did great when the pandemic started! Does not bring his personal beliefs into class which was nice and refreshing. Two big papers throughout the course, only 5 pages in length each!

ABSOLUTELY take Dr. Reeves if you get the chance. I came into this semester quite anxious, but he really went out of his way to make sure I could get through it. He doesn't expect you to become a critical theory scholar, but instead gives you the starting tools to become one.

Dr. Reeves is a very good professor. Just read, participate in class, and put forth some effort and you will be okay. He grades by only a few things so please advise on that front. He doesn't take attendance but I would recommend going to class for participation and general understanding. He doesn't post a lot on Canvas so going in person helps.

Dr Reeves is a super chill professor and made class enjoyable, he's very receptive to feedback. the readings aren't always interesting but it's super beneficial to read and show up to lecture, especially for the reading journal. he provided us with lecture notes but going in person was more helpful. tests are fairly simple, all multiple choice.

Dr. Reeves is a great teacher. His lectures make brit lit interesting and easy to understand. Attendance wasn't mandatory, but I strongly suggest going to lectures. Even though he provides materials online, it's not the same. Don't be afraid to read in this class. There are a lot of poems and a novel, but they're manageable. Go ahead and take him!

Dr. Reeves is a solid choice for a professor. He's got a good sense of humor which makes the class pass a little faster, and he makes difficult grammar pretty easy to understand. There are a lot of essays in this class, but he spaces them out in a way that makes it much less stressful than it could have been.
