Reviews of professor Matthew Gowans

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
World Religion is a great class. You'll learn a lot of interesting new things, and hopefully it will get you thinking! Prof Gowans is passionate and knowledgeable about the subject. Test aren't to difficult if you study for them. You also get to go on 2 field trips and those are really cool! Overall I'd say it's not super easy but totally worth it.

Tests seemed to always have something random thrown in, which you have to make an educated guess at since he didn't really go over it in class. Final paper at the end wasn't too hard, but wasn't fun either. Lots of reading and occasional pop quizzes... Not the most interesting lectures.

While he does give great feedback on papers, many of our assignments and reading were very philosophy heavy, which was difficult to understand coming straight out of high school. There are only 4 4 page papers due each semester and several smaller assignments.

Gowans was a pretty nice guy. I made some good freinds in the class from a lot of class activities. Its a lot of reading from the lame textbook but it was a good class overall.

Most of his assignments are graded out of 5 points. One issue with a paper and you're down 20%. Other than that, he gives great feedback and cares about his students. He will allow you to revise your final paper. The workload was average.

Professor Gowans is the best college English teacher I have ever had! Its not necessarily an easy class, but her teachers well and gives you time to improve. I have learned so much! There is some homework, but not over load, and he fixes you time. I highly suggest him, hes great!

I took Gowans for English 1010 and I loved it! There is about one paper a month, but they are short, and he focuses class on helping your paper. When you submit your paper for the first time a fellow student reviews it and gives it back, you get a week to revise it before you submit it to him, and then he gives feedback and you can revise it AGAIN!

I loved my class with Professor Gowans. He sincerely cares about his students and wants the best for them. If you put forth a fair effort he will be happy to help you. I would say it was easier than the average English class. He prefers quality over quantity and is very helpful when correcting rough drafts.

Nice teacher, wouldn't take the class again though. He does give good feedback and each assignment would help toward our final paper. I just didn't really learn anything new and didn't like his teaching style.
