Reviews of professor Christopher McGovern

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
No disrespect to professor McGovern, he teaches his classes well and will prepare you for his finals, but his lectures are long and are not too engaging. He is a funny professor and is definitely an interesting person, but his class leaves me wanting to go to bed. I definitely learned a thing or two about what he was teaching so he did his job.

Professor McGovern gives great lectures and has very simple assignments. Although there aren't many assignments in the class, there are three major papers and the midterm and final have the heaviest weight in the class. Pay attention in class, be on time, and have fun!

Professor McGovern is amazing. He does have a New York accent, but it doesn't make him any harder to understand. He tries to relate to students and his lectures are really interesting. He makes sure that the class is involved in the lesson. Definitely read the book. (Also, NEVER use .com as a source in his class)

Mr. McGovern was very funny and nice. Attendance does matter because he takes class participation grades. There is 3 essays and they are all really easy if you try and an easy a. His midterm and final are super easy as well, just memorization. His lectures are kinda boring because he just talks through power points all class but he is funny.

We write an essay every 2-3 weeks. Keeps every students attention, gets all the students involved, listens to our concerns. He loves learning about the students and making us feel welcomed in class. Lectures are long but he makes them fun. Has a passion for teaching which helps make the class more fun and less boring.

i took his 8 week course, best advise is stay ahead. The discussions cant hurt if you dont keep up and for the papers, one thing to know is the INTRODUCTION and CONCLUSION, dont go by the ENGL1301 thesis, use 4 to 5 sentences which wasnt clear. Thats the only thing that got me other than that, you will work but very doable and can get you an A.

Overall very easy class. 2 assignments due every week, only 100 words each. 3 essays (150 pts. each), a midterm, and a final. Class is graded out of 1000 points. He is an good lecturer and the material is pretty simple. No phones allowed in class, but you can takes notes on your laptop. 100% recommend you take him if you have the option to.

The structure of the class is fine. He lectures the entire class and asks questions; however, he goes off-topic a lot. In addition, he also asks very heavy questions about what's going on politically. The essays generally aren't too difficult, but there is no rubric or grading criteria. He doesn't communicate with students well.
