Reviews of professor Colin Beineke

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof Beineke is ... interesting. Kind, but I have been able to tune out almost every lecture (pretty sure everyone in my class has been doing the same) and still have a high A in his class. Pre-class assignment almost every class, and the last paper is a beast. But, it's been a good time.

Lovely professor, very funny and kind. Lectures were a bit boring, but realistically what is to be expected for an ENGL123 class. Responded to emails relatively quickly, sometimes even in person during class breaks. Offered a lot of help outside of class. Overall, I liked having Dr. B and would take another class taught by him.

He is a sweet and quirky guy, it is a breath of fresh air to read comic books. I think personally I struggle with writing however he has clear grading criteria so if you're not the best writer you can still get a nice grade. All powerpoints are avaliable on Blackboard and gives weekly updates to what is due. 

HE DOESN'T ACCEPT LATE WORK!

This guys class is awful, took him for cinema history and his grading scale was "Progressive" BS. Made the mistake of taking his ENG142 class as well. If you LOVE English and writing it should be easy but if your a normal person with self respect then I suggest you never look at this dudes name ever again.

He was a really nice guy but I just felt that the class was a political discussion class rather than English. We read 3 comic books at once. The whole class is discussion and there are no briefs to anything. So if you miss class you are going to be lost. Personally his homework is unrealistic for a gen-ed at an art school and hard to keep up with.

I really loved Dr. Beineke's class! He focuses ENG-123 around the study of subcultures. With his grading method, you're basically gonna get an A as long as you turn everything in on time. I would maybe not recommend if you want technical advice on writing, but I would highly recommend if you think subcultural studies sounds interesting.

Dr. B. finds a nice balance between teaching the course in a rigorous way while also not making it too difficult for a gen ed. I took him for film history, and the list of films he came up with for the class was really solid and very interesting. His projects were also interesting and fun to do.

Really enjoyed this class, there was quite a bit of reading and he did lecture a lot. I think he made a potentially really boring subject fresh and interesting. The assignments are easy if you stay on top of them, and he was really good about helping students if they needed it. Only one essay at the very end of the quarter. Highly recommend.
