Reviews of professor Rick Berg

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He has some sort of anger and mental issues. He screams and laughs at the same time while the class is just seriously staring at each other. His lecture quality is below zero. If more than 50 percent of the class is absent, that says a lot since a good and engaging professor will always have 90 percent of his or her class present. DO NOT TAKE HIM.

Lots of homework and is a tough grader on essays

Berg is an excellent professor; attending office hours and reading the books will contribute to a good grade. Actively participating in discussions and classes will prompt detailed feedback and personalized book recommendations on topics of your interest. I thoroughly enjoyed his class.

 If English isn't your first language don't take him. Class is for careful readers. If you struggle the first week DROP.

AMST150 with Prof Berg is one of my favorite classes I've taken at USC. As a Vietnamese student, it's rewarding to gain indepth insight to the war. The class opens your eyes and Berg's passion for the topic shines through. He's an amazing lecturer. Papers are hard and lots of discussion posts but the knowledge you gain makes it worth it.

Berg can be funny, but it felt like he wanted everyone to fail. Does he get joy out of this?!?!? No matter how hard you try he will fail you.

Professor Berg is a great professor but his classes are not for all. He is very passionate about the subject which can come out being very loud during lectures. He is quite humorous during lectures and the content he shares with the class is intriguing. Attendance is mandatory and there are assignments that he will talk about only in class.

He is a nice professor but his class is one of the hardest classes Ive taken. I feel as though he expects A LOT out of you for a GE. He grades extremely harsh and I found it almost impossible to get good grades on the papers no matter how hard I tried

My review got deleted... Basically I said his class almost made me switch out of an English major. I had to take a semester long break from any English class before I found my love for it again. He almost ruined that passion for me, and I can't think of a worse thing for a professor to do. If I had 1 wish, I would go back and not take his class.
