Reviews of professor Ed Ruddell

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Ed is a good professor, he grades pretty harshly but makes sure to tell you at the beginning of the semester that it's not an easy A class, which I found to be true. There were always a few points that I missed on assignments even though I thought I did pretty well. Overall a pretty interesting class, if you take it then you'll read and write lots.

Lesson material is mostly YouTube videos and obscure articles that were written 30 years ago. The final is structured like it is a writing 5000 class final paper. The assignments are confusing and seem almost random. Unless you are absolutely fixated, stay away from this class there are much better ways to get credits.

Class is mostly taught by YouTube videos and articles. Some of the assignments did not accurately align with the course material. Never gave constructive feedback on written assignments, yet graded harshly. Like someone said before, once you miss out on an assignment your grade will suffer and there is no recovering. Don't take if you don't have to

Overall, a great teacher with a very organized class set up. Every week, you turn in at least one reflection assignment and a short quiz. He also makes you turn in reading forms to make sure you're actually retaining the info you read. Easy A, but he is very strict on turning assignments in on time. Make sure to not procrastinate. He won't care.

This course is made up of 4 Explorations that each conclude with a Reflection. The  Explorations are made up of Critical Reading Forms, in which you do 2-5 readings every week. Everything is super straightforward and organized. The material covered is pretty interesting, the reflections arent too difficult, but the discussion is kinda a drag.

You will for sure struggle with the questions that are talking about random stuff. They are not quite reflected by the course. The whole material itself throughout this course is something that you can search and learn by yourself. You don't have to pay an enormous tuition for him to just learn some of the common sense.
