Ralph Bennett ARCH272 Expecting a B- Anonymous 05/13/2025	The guest lecturers are fine until they ramble on about something way beyond our comprehension. He posts the slides and we have quizzes based on them, but some questions are very loosely tied to the lecture. The midterm and final had horrible study guides and were short-answer questions that were difficult and unfair. At least our research is interesting and learning about sustainability initiatives around campus is cool.
Ralph Bennett ARCH272 Expecting an A- Anonymous 05/08/2025	This class is ridiculous. Guest lectures EVERY Tuesday and pointless discussions every Thursday. Major assignments consist of a research paper with a ROUGH DRAFT that's worth a significant amount of your grade and a presentation. If you're thinking of taking this class to satisfy your DSNS or DSSP, SCIS requirements, take something else. You don't really learn or retain any useful information in this class.

Ralph Bennett ARCH272 Expecting a B- Anonymous 10/18/2022	He is a nice guy but a horrible Professor. For this class, he did not teach a single lecture. We had guest lectures for every class and he did nothing but go over the guest lecture's slides during the discussion section. If you have him as a TA, good luck. He grades very harsh and is very vague on what he wants. His rubric will say one thing but he deducts points on parts that were not specified on the rubric.
