Reviews of professor Brian Reinken

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Attentive to all his students, clearly knows his stuff, and is completely open to feedback. A great discussion facilitator and made the long summer class feel really short because of how engaging he made the readings. He refuses to lecture, but I honestly wouldn't have minded if he had! What he asks of his students is pretty reasonable - read!!!

Really good prof for college writing. Really understanding with absences and only grades a few assignments. As long as you show up to class and do the work he assigns you can almost guarantee at least a B. Accessible out of class and responds to emails quickly.

C Writin: Professor R was a very good professor and made sure everyone clearly knew instructions. He cares about his students. His grading was reasonable and he gave a lot of feedback to perfect our projects. The due dates were very reasonable and he also recognized that we had other classes going on therefore he doesn't hand out loads of work.

Took him for Principles of Lit Study over the summer and he really made all the content super interesting and easy to understand. Makes the class really fun to be part of. Be prepared to do all of the readings. He grades pretty tough but gives you specific feedback on where you can get better. Would get a beer with him!

Expos is a difficult class, but Professor Reinken makes it tolerable. He is very helpful and gives great feedback, so be sure to go to his office hours if you're able to. One of the nicest professors I've ever had, be sure to participate and read! I would definitely take him again if I am able to!

Prof Brian was so helpful when it came to revising and understanding assignments. He was very easy on grading and made it very clear what he was looking for. He likes to make people work in groups in class to work on activities.

Brian was one of the best profs I've had at Rutgers (had him in fall 2019, writing fall 2021). He tells his students exactly how assignments will be graded and is willing to work with you every step of the way to help you improve. I wish I could take more classes with him!

Expos sucks, and he acknowledges that. (As of 2018) He's a grad student. He's suffering too, and he gets that you're suffering. He genuinely tries to help you and get you the best grade possible. Kind of vanilla, but overall a good kid. Ask him about his day; he's a human being too and he appreciates it. (Love you Brian)

Brian's a wholesome boy. He's not afraid to tell you when you're wrong, but he does so in a gentle and nourishing way. He may have only been the TA, but to us, he was the professor because we learned everything from his section. You won't find a more down-to-earth, wise, personable, and caring professor. What a great human. I miss him already.
