Course structured around progress assignments: you get good feedback on how to improve throughout semester; Prof was passionate & understanding of students' concerns/difficulties; HWs were very reasonable; class helpful for future in Humanities academia; Very fair grading; Lectures were generally interesting. You will be fine if you work seriously.

Great professor, really engaging and interesting. Grades reasonably for a human situation prof. Participation is a large part of your grade. Rayneard is great because in discussion he makes you feel really smart and important. I like his discussions, but hated the reading quizzes. I don't know anyone who made A's on all the reading quizzes :(

Dr. Rayneard is a great professor who makes his discussions engaging and fun. He made me like the books in Human Sit. Also, he has authentic compassion for his students. The only thing I'd advise people to consider is the fact that he gives out reading quizzes instead of discussion responses but he is a great professor nonetheless.

Professor Rayneard is by far my favorite professor I have had thus far. Very considerate with deadlines. He makes the discussion section of Human Sit very comfortable, making it easier to participate. He does give reading quizzes, read thoroughly and you should do well on them. Overall, 10/10.

I love Professor Rayneard. I had a death in the family, and he gave me time to grieve even though I had a midterm paper due the next day. He cares about stimulating his students and wants you to muddle through the readings as much as he is and provide new ideas other students haven't. Be open-minded, positive, and participate in the class.

I really enjoyed his class because I feel like I grew as a human being and as a writer. He's really helpful in office hours and gives good feedback on essays. The only tough part about the class is the reading quizzes but you get used to the format and they aren't worth that much of your grade. Overall, I would def recommend Rayneard!

I took Rayneard for both of Human situation courses.. I hated the course but Rayneard found a way to make it memorable and fun for the class with the discussions and papers. He makes you work for your essay grades but he is not the hardest grader on essays or exams. Very kind and genuine person that cares for the students and their mental health!

I hated Human Situation Antiquity because I was made out to be an incompetent reader/writer but after I met Dr. Rayneard, I realized that the professor really does matter. I loved Modernity because I took him, he really cares about his students and grades solely on writing, not because of personal bias. Very encouraging as a teacher and relatable.
