Reviews of professor Brandon Stanford

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Stanford is an amazing professor and I would take any class that he teaches. This class in particular is group work heavy, but Stanford works with everyone to make sure we are comfortable with the material.

Short answer - do not take this class if you want an easy A. Saw the previous reviews and was pretty excited to take this class, however, this excitement dwindled quickly. Prerecorded lectures were the most worthwhile part of the class. Lots of weekly readings, had to RENT required movies, NEVER graded work or posted lectures on time.

He's a very engaging lecturer. The workload is heavy but it's not unbearable. Get ready to read and write a lot every week (weekly reading questions that require long, detailed answers). I would definitely take another class with him!

The guys personality is the only thing keeping me from rating him a 1. He's a likeable and passionate guy but not a teacher. Entire course was graded by approximately 7 assignments for which you had no guidance on and were not told about. 3 exams which were all unbelievably hard for no reason accounted for 25% of the grade. Overall had no structure

A very reasonable and approachable professor. The course work may be heavy in material, but he is understanding and will work with you to ensure you are up to date in the course and remain on track.

Great professor and good class to take if you need to fulfill a multi-cultural requirement. Professor Stanford has a great personality and is very passionate about his area of work, so it makes the class engaging. You'll definitely learn a lot in the class!

Brandon has a power trip and a ridiculously large ego, the content of his class is very interesting, but he teaches it very poorly. He never responded to one of my emails and was completely inaccessible throughout the term. Worst professor at Drexel, he should lose his job.

Loved every second of the class.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The learning from the class included readings and 2-hour movie clips. the assignments included reading questions and then key questions about the clips- only the reading questions were included in the syllabus. Took forever to grade things. Does not reply to emails timely. I felt alone in this class and feels like I wasted money.

Dr. Stanford is an amazing professor. Don't take his class unless you're willing to really learn and think critically about ideas of race and our society; he doesn't shy away from things that might make people uncomfortable or that are controversial. His lectures are entertaining but still very informative. You'll actually want to go to class.
