Reviews of professor Patrick Walter

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
His UGS class was super fun and engaging. Medium outside of class work, but he was a big fan of relaxed assignment. Super cool dude

You can really tell he cares about what he's teaching. The course was no particularly demanding, so I had no trouble getting an A, without trying very hard.

He does kind of get overwhelmed with all the different things that he wants to teach, but it's mostly fine.

The only issue I had with Dr. Walter is that he does NOT give rubrics which makes grading very confusing. Other than that I enjoyed his class as he is very passionate and makes the lectures enjoyable. He also does not assign a lot of work, so this class was not overwhelming.

Walter is a good professor for African American Music, but some lectures were incredibly boring. There was a good amount of work to do outside of class like reading, listening to certain songs, two 4-5 page papers, 2 event summaries, a couple of annotated bibliographies, and 2 quizzes. The class was not structured well, but it is an easy A.

Dr. Walter is an interesting professor lol. I took him for African American Music UGS, and he made a UGS class as simple as it gets in terms of homework and research compared to many other UGS courses offered. He only had two essays, and two quizzes and two other assignments. Grading is super light. Just do the normal amount of effort for an A

I hated this class and honestly I thought he was a little crazy but the grade is easy to get as long as you do the work. Attendance is graded for discussion but it was not difficult at all, just annoying to go to.

Walter was at best as what I would describe as a mediocre professor. He was extremely knowledgeable in his subject and was obviously very passionate about teaching it but was largely held back due to his inconsistent policies, poor syllabus and an absolute lack of communication.

Definitely recommend his Cinema of Black Protest. A flag mine, and introduces intriguing topics, such as colonization. It's intimidating at first, but not difficult to get an A. Cool lectures as well.

It's very important you actually talk in discussion so if you don't like that avoid this course. Generally heavy but important topics, I learned a lot and he makes it easy to talk freely. I found him to be a bit "trendy-woke" but he has good intentions. The course has a few short answer quizzes and 2 big essays - good for people who like to write

Very engaging and fun professor. Class is really easy. Participation isn't required. I personally watched some movies and did not participate at all during class.
