Reviews of professor Stephen Bouser

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Bouser is such a sweet man but his classes were just too boring. There was rarely a moment of clarity in the lectures or in the grading criteria and most of the grading is sort of up to his own opinion. Not the worst, but still

Prof. Bouser was super sweet and had interesting lectures, but they can become convoluted. I believe his grading was very subjective. It is writing heavy, but that is to be expected. He is very flexible almost to the point where it seemed students were taking advantage which I felt bad about. Be prepared to be confused on criteria and due dates.

I had professor Bouser for 153 over the summer and he was amazing. It was a 5-week summer course so there was homework often but he always gave great feedback and answered all emails very quickly if you had any questions.

My favorite professor I've had. He's clear with due dates, expectations, and instructions, even though it is hard to adjust to AP style and journalistic writing. I feel like I learned so much even with the online format. Bouser is one of the funniest, most caring professors you will have.

Mr. Bouser's class was not the most organized, but his love for students was clear as well. He was very flexible and accommodating.

Mr. Bouser is definitely a hidden gem. He really does just want his students to do well, so although he may be a tough grader at times, it's for your own good. You may not suspect it right off the bat, but Bouser is a total bad-ass and I have immense respect for him and all he has accomplished in his life.

Super sweet man. He can ramble at times and class is not always entertaining but you will get better at AP writing. 153 is not fun no matter what, but it is good to have a professor that cares about his students.

This class was alright. There was an article due every class and Bouser is a tough grader. I didn't like how old-fashioned he was in the class and I felt like he didn't really know what he was talking about. It wasn't very interesting.

Listen, he's a nice guy, but he should not be teaching online classes. He did not adequately support our class and went overboard with the amount of assignments. You also will most likely still have the same grade from the first assignment you get regardless of how much effort you put into it. I have no doubt that his in-person classes are great.

My favorite teacher at UNC - wants his students to succeed and cares a lot about journalism. Extremely caring and funny. Very interesting work experience that he shares a lot about. Also often brings snacks to class!
