Reviews of professor Wouter van Erve

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Van Erve was such a laid back professor. He a good professor and he also understands that life happens, and is willing to work with you for makeup assignments, or explain what went wrong in your assignment. If you participate in all of the homework/quizzes/tests you should do well in his class! History can be boring, but with him it's fun!

I enjoyed this class with Professor Van Evre. He is a new professor and it showed in the beginning of the semester but he was open to feedback. His tests are very difficult but he does give plenty of chances to earn credit elsewhere throughout the class. He is very intelligent and it shows during his lectures and class discussions!

If students get on and read the rate my professors, this is one professor that you should absolutely take if you get the chance. I had both the fortunate and unfortunate time to take him during the pandemic and he was the absolute most understanding professor. He really made myself and others feel like we mattered at students and people.

He seems like a nice guy. As a professor, not so much. Tests are meant to trick you. Lectures are like pulling teeth. I had not failed a test in an upper level course until his class. Unnecessary GPA killer.

He's a terrible professor and he doesn't care about you or your grade. Tried to talk to him in office hours and he basically said tough luck. For his one class there are a total of 12 "short"essays, 20+ discussions, 12 quizzes, and then a final paper that's legal writing even though it's not his place to teach us that.

I am a senior and he was my toughest grader on an already tough subject. Kicked my butt the whole semester doing my best and I passed with a C+. With that being said, I have learned so much from this class. I am equally terrified and excited for the second part in individual rights this semester.

I took this as an elective to see if I would enjoy law. I am a business major. This was the hardest class I took. He assigns 8 papers that have to be done to even make a B. The test is impossible to make an A. There is absolutely nothing you could do that would be a 100... not even participation. Yes I was there every class. VERY SLOW GRADER.

I took his POLS2013 course for fall2020 and he was so understanding of the amount of stress on his kids because of COVID. He is super caring and patient! I think he is willing to help those who seek help, so don't be shy! This course was not hard at all, no tests or exams were given, just essays explaining your opinion or what you have learned.

Smart Professor and great at his job. Gives students chances if he sees student is actually trying to pass the class. Fair grader and gives helpful feedback. I would definitely take one of his political science classes again.
