Reviews of professor Cody Dye

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I would suggest finding a another instructor because the course was quite difficult for a 101 level, and the instructor made us buy two books, of which only one is actually used.

He made us purchase a textbook that we never used. There is a lot of reading that doesn't necessarily pertain to the project we are working on. He grades very tough and tends to veer off-topic quite often. I would not recommend taking English 102 with him.

He's opinionated and intense about everything. He also does lots of socratic seminars in which he grades very harshly. My least favorite thing with him is that he insists that you talk a lot in the socratic seminars, but then harshly criticizes what you say in front of everyone. This just reinforces not talking. He will fail you if you don't talk

He grades very tough and there is very few assignments in the gradebook, so one bad grade ruins  your entire grade that you worked hard for the entire semester. This class would have been better if there was more communication, when you email a question, the response is not really helpful. The readings were interesting though.

Do not recommend this professor. Save yourself the time and energy and just take English 102 with someone else. Very tough grader and will not receive a good score even if it looks like you did well on the rubric. Also, he does not give you a lot of time or notice to get the essays done for his class.

Incredibly opinionated, biased, no clear points made in lectures, vague discussions, manipulated rhetoric, tries to intimidate students.
