Reviews of professor Greg Bowen

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
His tests are difficult, but he's a very fair grader and gives points for effort. He's brilliant and funny and really enthusiastic about the subjects he's teaching, even if they're dry. I've taken three classes with him and loved them, but I wouldn't recommend for someone looking for an easy A. You'll have to work for it.

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
His classes are extremely lecture heavy and loses the attention of the class within five minutes but continues his 50 minute lecture anyway. Not good at responding to emails and doesn't give enough points for the length and amount of work that students put into his assignments. For example, a 6 page paper is worth 20 points.

Unexpectedly great! I was dreading this as a normal grammar class but it really shifted my perspective about linguistics entirely. Tries to be fun with his lectures. Some homework assignments, book is helpful but not really required. Decent amount of work.

Dr. Bowen is a very intelligent man, however his lectures were painfully boring and his humor was dry. He was a very tough grader, although he did allow you to make revisions on papers based on his feedback. Overall, he's an OK professor.
