Reviews of professor Carson Benn

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He's really strict about attendance and is a very difficult grader. He assigns tons of reading - mostly historical academic readings which are dense and hard to get through. Assignments are very demanding. I would definitely not have taken class with him had I not had to.

Prof Benn is a really kind and caring professor. The class is very reading heavy, but I found the material interesting and he is willing to discuss anything you dont understand. There are a few larger papers but you have plenty of time to complete them, and bonus points are available.

class time is mostly lectures with a small amount of group work once a week but with a group that you don't get to pick. He moves very fast on lecture slides & doesn't post them so you definitely need to attend class in order to do good in class. Weekly discussion boards come with LONG readings. Could be an easy A if you do the readings and attend

Professor Benn is a lovely and caring teacher. He truly knows what he's talking about and will give extremely kind and helpful feedback. He is very accessible outside of class and tries to make class as interesting as possible. You will be reading a lot, but the material was typically interesting.
