Reviews of professor Jared Pence

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
A good professor and a nice guy. There's only three essay and a final project (a film review, which isn't bad). There is some reading and quizzes, but it's all open note. He also utilizes the grading system in Blackboard so it reflects what your actual grade in the class is. I suggest having him for EXP101!

Professor Pence not only gave out papers every week with little explanation on what to write, but he took (and this is no exaggeration) 2 months to grade the paper you turned in. He gets upset at you for making the same mistakes on essays as before. Take this class if you like witchcraft cause this guys obsessed. Class is easy with no help from him

Great guy, but requires significantly more work than other EXP professors. There is one 3-page paper, one 5-page paper, one 8-page paper, six 1-page weekly reflections, and two presentations.

4 essays, 2 presentations (one group, one individual), lots of reading. Has reading quizzes through kahoot that you can retake as much as you want. Overall a pretty good choice. You will learn a lot about they say I say and he wants you to use that style for writing. Take if you are already a strong writer and you will be fine.

EXP101 with Pence is a social justice course labelled as an english class. We spent more time discussing racism than how to construct an essay. However, he is very easy. Quizzes are a breeze and papers, while numerous, are simple. If you just want an easy 4, take him. You will get it. If you actually want to learn, DO NOT take this professor.

He's a super nice guy, is entertaining, and his class is really interesting. However, he assigns a lotttt of papers. Every single week you have to write something. It can be a lot. I would suggest taking him with a lighter load of classes, but I know there are other expos teachers that assign much less. It was manageable, but stressful.
