Reviews of professor Kent Linthicum

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I took Humor, Media, and Climate Change with Professor Linthicum. The courseload was very heavy, especially for a freshman-level course. There is a lot of reading, often from very dense academic articles. I learned a lot, but this class isn't worth the effort unless you are truly interested in the material.

At first, I thought that Dr. L is a tough grader. However, at the end of this semester, I realized that all his 'tough gradings' aim to help us learn. He is actually a very nice teacher. He was always accessible outside of class and he encouraged me a lot in my English study. The only thing is that participation is important in his class.

Great professor for ENGL1101. It assignments weren't bad and the class topic was really interesting. If you're looking for an relatively easy A (you do still have to work for it), I'd definitely recommend Prof L! He gives great feedback and the readings and discussion posts are pretty interesting. I'd take ENGL1102 with him if I could.

There's a lot of writing. He's a great professor overall, and extremely easy to talk to. The class is how you make it.

Dr. L was an amazing prof. I'm not gonna lie. If you want an easy A and Engl be a class that just goes by, don't take him. Dr. L assigns a lot of work and is a hard grader. However, if you want to learn and see a great improvement in your Engl skills, he's amazing! He was also very caring and created discussions for us to vent. Hard work pays off!

Other RMPs on Dr. L had me worried initially but he's honestly a great professor. He cares about his students a lot, has a deadpan sense of humor, and he gives clear instructions and good feedback. Attendance is essentially mandatory and you earn points for participation. The class seemed like less work than other 1101s and he's not a tough grader.

I took this class remotely and Dr. L was very understanding and flexible about the 'distance' between us. The fact that the class is only 3 credits is the biggest understatement, I had to submit approximately 3 assignments and write at least 500 words per week. If you want to be challenged and like to work hard, choose this class.
