Reviews of professor Clayton Tarr

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I wish that Dr. Tarr had been one of the first professors I had at UNCC rather than my last. Class is interesting and he forces you to think outside of the box. Style of teaching was fun and fast, and allowed us to cover a lot. Four question quizzes at beginning of every class but are easy if you read. Dr. Tarr is incredible!

This class wasn't overwhelming at all. Discussions upon up the day before they're due. The only stressful part was reading all of Wuthering Heights in 2-3 weeks. The assignments allow you to dig deep into texts and analyze which will help in other English courses. You can find most of the texts online and borrow books using a library card.

Dr. Tarr is a pretty funny guy in my opinion. Some reading needs to be done ahead of time for the discussions but it's not overwhelming.  would take this class again and the workload is not overwhelming if you manage your time. The lowest grade I got on a paper was a 95, as long as you put effort into this class you'll get an A.

He's an amazing professor who makes the class interesting, not much more to so. Very chill, but still respectable as a professor.

negative: gives reading quizzes every class but as long as you read they're pretty easy. the quizzes makeup your participation grade so he doesn't have an attendance policy but if you don't come to class you won't get the participation points which REALLY AFFECT YOUR GRADE! positive: really understanding if you email him. Good sense of humor too

Readings could range from 5 pages to 40/50 but his lectures were great and there were only 2 tests the whole semester. The tests were very long but they were all opinion based so if you read, you'll get an A. I'm an English double major, but if you're not an Engl major, you'll still learn a lot.

I don't know if this was because it was an online summer class, the material was great but the professor gave little to no lectures but expected a lot from the students. The class was pretty much a self-led class with readings and papers. There weren't any rubrics with assignments or papers and feedback from the professor was minimum.

This was a very easy class. The class consisted of reading an article ~2-5 pages long and doing 2 canvas discussions in class that are completion. There were 5 projects throughout the semester that weren't time consuming. He doesn't give any feedback on the projects (he might if you ask), but the average for the projects is typically around a 90
