Reviews of professor Phillip Opsasnick

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I actually don't know how I felt about this class. Interesting. I love professor Opsasnick, they are extremely smart and I loved listening to their lectures. Said they were a hard grader, but I left the class with an A-, and I'm not a genius, so do with that information what you will. Lots of reading, but only two papers.

Had to print out reading every class which was annoying and felt like a waste of paper. Work load was not too heavy, main focus was midterm and final papers but made it hard to get an A. Lectures were interesting, but participation is necessary and it was kinda hard to come up with things to say. Nice guy, just felt like an average class overall!

A little strange.... talks about his partners a lot. He's chill and cares about his students, though. He will proofread your essays/rough draft so if you reach out, its hard to get a bad grade in this class.

You could tell they really cared about their students and made the class discussions very interesting, even for a subject I'm not interested in. The grade was based on participation in discussions and a couple of papers throughout the semester. They were open to all ideas and very flexible. Definitely would recommend it to anyone.

Great great professor! Very kind you can tell they want you to do well. The class is fairly easy if you do the readings. We were supposed to have 5 pop quizzes, but they were always very easy if you did the readings! Are midterm and final were just essays!

Reading due each class, 5 pop quizzes throughout the semester. Weekly discussion posts that won't get graded until 6 weeks after submission. Getting office hours the weeks before a paper is due is chaos--a sign-up sheet is randomly released sometime during the week. If you're in class or can't sign up within the first 20 minutes, you're out of luck

I really like Prof. Opsasnick as a person and thought I would enjoy this class much more than I did. He's funny and a good lecturer but kind of a lazy teacher. Essay grading is harsh but also not very logical/thorough, classes are canceled or moved to Zoom last minute, and class participation is difficult but required. Cool person though!!
