Reviews of professor Richard Treat

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Very good teacher. Not hard to get a good grade if you put in the time and work on your essays. I think I improved a lot. He will help you if you go to his office hours or go to the conferences.

Prof. Treat was p funny, our class was kinda dead but he still made it entertaining. 4 papers and 1 presentation, easy grader on the presentation as long as you put in the effort, papers a bit difficult but you can get points back by editing and turning edited paper back in at end of year.

One of the best professors I've had at SMU.

He is the best. My favorite class Ive taken at SMU so far and I didnt consider myself a writer. The class helped me to do better in my other classes.

He is wonderful. He does grade slightly more harshly than other WRTR profs. but he is very kind and gives you the option to correct your papers and resubmit them for a higher grade. Be prepared to have an awesome experience, but also to work for a good grade. I have had wonderful conversations with him. TAKE THIS PROF. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!

One word to describe this man is hilarious. Constantly had me laughing with his sly jokes while also keeping a professional standard on teaching. Definitely a great teacher to have as a freshman for he makes me feel very comfortable. Work load is not terrible but you still feel educated from his class.

he makes an easy class extremely difficult. his feedback is not good because even when I did what he asked I ended up getting bad grades. I had an A and the day before school ends he started taking old grades down so I go to a B. No explanation was given at all. Do not take him.

Recommended. All in all I didn't find the class overly difficult. Like somebody else said he lets you fix your essays to go up one grade level. You have to write good essays, but his feedback helps.
