Reviews of professor Mark Curnutte

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
I wish all my professors were like him honestly. He has incredible writing knowledge and a great deal of experience from his many years reporting for the Cincinnati Enquirer. His passion for what he teaches is contagious and motivational. He wishes the best for his students and he just wants them to care. His care for his students is admirable.

Mark is a very passionate professor; I see many people call him biased while lecturing however what he presents in lectures are verifiable facts. The subject in which he teaches can be controversial so he may seem biased in what he teaches, however it is simply the manner of social justice that makes him seem that way. He's a good caring professor.

Prof Curnutte was very involved and a pretty nice guy. Even if you disagree with him politically, he was always understanding and still graded fairly. I had a bad semester and missed a lot of classes, and all it took was a few emails and explanations for him to give me a chance to fix my grade. Any of his classes are a good decision to take.

If I can recommend everyone to take one class, SJS165 is it. Prof Curnutte knows what he is talking about, he worked for a newspaper for decades and covered the topics there that he also teaches about in class. He is so passionate and it makes the class more engaging.

Professor Curnutte seems like a very nice guy, but is not a good professor. He is very self centered, constantly speaks his "unbiased" opinion and is very one sided in his teachings. I think he is very caring of his students and is a good person overall, but not a good professor. Avoid his classes.

Mr. Curnutte is a great teacher and great person. Class covers challenging content with a different topic being covered each lecture. Readings aid in understanding lectures but lectures discuss everything you need to read. Quizzes/exams are pretty easy as long as you go to class. Reflections are graded fairly, regardless of agreement on issues.

this class is great to take if you need it for your Miami plan credit, he is very willing to work with you to improve your grade and overall cares about his students and their understanding of the content.

I really enjoyed this class and I'm actually minoring in social justice now because of it! He does assign a ton of readings but you can still get a good grade if you don't do them. The main thing that was frustrating about this class was there were a few miscommunications about scheduling and some errors in grading. Otherwise it was a great class!

By far the best social justice professor here at Miami. His class requires his textbook, which teaches the material really good. His experiences I think helps him teach the material and I find that really nice. Very passionate about social justice. Nice professor. Take him if you can.
