Reviews of professor Benjamin Irvin

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Prof. Irvin might be one of my favorite professors I've had thus far. His lectures are interesting and entertaining, and he seems like a genuinely great guy. He really values in-class participation and factors it into the final grade, but he gives ample opportunities for you to participate (even in a class of 60+ students). Would take it again!

I absolutely adored Irvin for my history of disability class. He came to class with appropriate care for the topic, and was always ready to listen to the many, many comments I had on our readings. There were about 4 readings per week, but they were interesting and I found myself excited to read. This is mostly a discussion class. No tests.

Irvin is a nice guy, but he talks forever. His lectures are supposed to be discussion based for a lecture, but doesnt really work that way. He takes attendance in a lecture of 80 people, which leads to people gaining absences when they werent. I would never recommend a class with him.
