Reviews of professor Kurk Gayle

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He's very literal, and Google Translate does infact help in the end. Best to write everything in MLA, copy and paste the body and cited work inside the section you write in, then add the .docx file to the attachment. His introduction videos do not help and lack a lot of instructions and understanding about our assignments. Take lots of screenshots.

DO NOT TAKE DR. GAYLE

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He may be tough, but he clearly explains on why you made a bad grade. Very engaging, and understanding.

When he said 2 full pages he means 2 full pages. You're not allowed to be a sentence, a word, or even a letter off. The syllabus is general, but not as general as his rubric. Expect to fail in the first half of the semester. Take tons of screenshots of emails and instructions that he gives you, and forward them to your advisor if needed.

Professor Gayle is a tough grader. Everyday there is an assignment due. You will utilize the discussion board everyday and he does expect a lot of participation with proof to backup what you post. Gives chance for extra credit. He cares about his students and will email you if he feels you forgot about something. He is always available to help.

Dr Gayle crafted an amazing course that was appropriate for a graduate level course. It focused on theory in the beginning then practical application in the second half. Everything in the theory portion set the students up well to put their translation skills to work on the poem project.
