Reviews of professor Richard O'Brien

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
He's a very sarcastic man that likes to crack jokes. Even though the class is 2 hours, he only makes you stay for about 40 minutes and goes over a powerpoint. There's only a few grades that he puts in but if you do the papers the best you can you'll receive an A. He hates going to class as much as you do and cancels class every once in a while.

really funny and laid back guy. You honestly have to try to do bad in his class. The class was entirely based on papers though, so if you don't like writing essays don't take this class 

Highlights:

- clear and detailed feedback
- peer reviews before submission 
- doesn't assign topics, just the style you need to write in (i.e; persuasive essay)

I only went to 2 classes before I decided to switch out because he really was THAT bad. He stood behind the podium and mumbled about the previous and multiple universities he taught at (MAJOR red flag) while telling completely unrelated stories. Extremely dry, degrading sense of humor that sends chills down your spine. Get out while you can.

one of the chillest professors ive had at stockton. he can be very monotoned which i didnt like at first but his sarcastic humor made it better. he only has a midterm& final which was nice& he ALWAYS lets class out so early so youre never in class for the full time. he does talk politically at times but not for long hes one of the easiest profs

if you want to strengthen your essay skills take him. does several peer review sessions before each assignment is due and gives clear and helpful feedback

Professor O'Brien is overall a good professor. He never keeps you the entire class period and his lectures are super easy. A midterm and final paper, with some short critical thinking papers in the beginning of the semester. Easy A class.

I dont do these but hes a really great professor. He teaches you what you need and should know while engaging with the students and telling stories. He doesnt waste your time and I really enjoyed taking his class and I would take it again. I recommend this class to everyone

I love his class. He always lets us out an 1 hour early everyday and mostly cancels class. Do your essays and participate. Easy A. Chillest class ever too.

he was definitely very clear on his directions and what he wanted. however he brought his political views into everything. on the first day he said you WILL call me professor. i wont probably wont remember your names because i dont respect you. but you will respect me and droned on and on about his educational background. absolutely obnoxious

Easy class. 3 reaction papers at the beginning of the semester, a mid-term paper, and a final paper. Attendance is graded so show up to class. Never goes for the full 2 hours. He can get a little boring at times but is a chill dude overall.
