Reviews of professor Keith Budner

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I had the pleasure of taking COMLITR1B as a Summer Session D course with Keith. The topic was on comics and graphic novels, and I learned so much from this class. Keith is very knowledgeable, accessible, and gives good feedback on papers. Lots of books to buy. Attendance is big part of grade. Diagnostic, midterm, final paper.

I had Keith as a GSI for HistArt R1B, and he was amazing. Not only is Keith knowledgeable and passionate about his subject and work, but Keith also emphasizes good writing skills and development in his class by incorporating writing exercises into his curricula. A true gem in humanities, and would highly recommend to anyone seeking rigor and fun.

Not too hard but not too easy If you attend classes, participate and do all the work you will be fine. A lot of reading so if you do not like to read you are in trouble

Budner is really nice, passionate, and well-intentioned, but I would highly recommend avoiding taking this class with him if possible. It is way too much reading and outside work for a 200-level class. The class wasn't organized and you're basically only graded on a few papers and some writing exercises. Avoid him if you can.

He isn't a bad professor but his structure of the class is all over the place. He makes you purchase too many books and there is a lot of reading you have to do. Lecture is heavy and he expects you to read everything, have notes and participate. Too much for 200 level course.
