Reviews of professor Benjamin Soares

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
You have to read A LOT. But he does lectures on the readings which can help with the really dense articles. The lecture itself can be a bit static but you just have to pay attention. Great teacher.

Dr. Soares is incredibly knowledgeable and truly loves his subject. His reading selection is varied and SO interesting. He also brings in great guest lectures, films and pushes students to go to events. His lectures can be dry. Class is what you make it: do the reading and participate in discussion and you will get a lot out- if you don't you won't

Dr. Soares might initially come off as a stale individual with boring discussions as the premise for most of his classes. The class is reading-heavy, so be prepared to read. However, if you put a decent amount of effort into the class you will most likely get a good grade and enjoy the class.
