Reviews of professor Tyler Bourdeau

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The course actually starts towards the end of the semester. So you have a ton of work with a little amount of time. It doesnt help that hes VERY persnickety when it comes to grading. A 92% is consider a B+ to this man. Save yourself the headache and avoid this course.

TV Genres was awesome! The class is online, but you learn a lot. His online lectures are very straight forward, and help a lot with the weekly quiz, which is very easy. You typically watch one or two episodes a week, new shows every week, and write a short 1-2 page paper on them. Final is very fun and doesn't take too much time. Take this class!

TV genres was all online, a new module was posted each week. You were to watch two or three shows a week, write a discussion post, respond to others, and take a quiz. Midterm and Final were a 6-8 page paper. So this was a very time consuming class, but not hard at all. Bourdeau is a very kind professor and was always there when needed. Reccomended.

Professor Bourdeau graded this 1000 level course as if we were doing a masters thesis. He tells you what you are doing wrong but does not give specific examples of what he expects and what you need to change to get a better grade. Absolutely inappropriate level of harshness when grading. Don't take him if you don't want to struggle unnecessaril.
