Reviews of professor Aubyn Rader

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
For a student who isn't great at writing essays and research papers, Aubyn Rader was a real chad. He's one of those teachers who actually cares for his students. His lectures were alright but tolerable, and he is always eager to help his students. HW is easy but time-consuming. His big assignments were technically practice for the final exam.

1. Very lazy. Didn't do a single lecture when online class, sometimes even no pdf. Instead just throw charters of textbook reading and quizzes and assignments. 2. office hour Inaccessible 3. Delay to the last minute and get your assignment a very crude feedback and a surprisingly low mark for sentence a bit too long or he is not comfortable with.

Aubyn takes too long to return feedback to students (1 Month+)

He took on another class in the middle of the semester, which is fine, but it affected the quality of his other classes.

Aubyn arbitrarily extends deadlines with no compensation for people who finished on time. He also curses a lot in class and is unprofessional overall.

Not clear on what he really wants. Not approachable and not in his office during office hours

Aubyn is a great teacher! He's engaging, and creates a fun & comfortable environment. There is an expectation of mutual respect, so as long as you're present and showing effort, it's a great course. Zoom classes were enjoyable, and he does an excellent job of including everyone, without being too pushy.

Aubyn provided a thorough breakdown of the class material (which was online and asynchronous). He invested a lot of effort into the class and generally seemed to expect the same in return. He is a tough ur fair grader. I was able to improve my grade through the semester by identifying my area of weakness and discussing a strategy with Aubyn.

Would definitely not take his class again. Showing examples of the structure is good but his choice of example will even more confuse you. He doesn't seem to exert effort making sure students understand how to  follow the structure in a way that connects ideas. He's feedbacks are not clear so you won't know how to improve your essay.

Very unclear for the marking, quiz and test are all very hard too. If you are not forced by someone, don't take his class..

He is a great instructor overall. The lectures and material he uses are interesting and they're not boring. He is really funny and makes the lectures enjoyable. The guidelines and assignments are very descriptive and easy to follow, if you follow the details you will get a good mark. If you have any questions he would be happy to explain further.
