Brian Richardson ENGL312 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/14/2024	Y'all this guy doesn't know what he's talking about I fear. He is a very sweet friendly and understanding guy but such a bad professor. This class was super easy to sneak by barely doing any work, and as long as you can competently write a paper and are smart about readings you should be fine on the major assignments, he's honestly more interested to see your thoughts on the readings more than anything. That being said I dreaded this class so much I'm convinced Richardson doesn't plan out his lectures and just woke up one day and was like I think I'll be a professor. His lecturing style is so meandering and impossible to make sense of. I learned literally nothing couldn't tell you one single thing about modernism most of his lectures are spent going on tangents about something completely unrelated and there's no content which made the class so frustrating and feel so pointless. Also one class he kept accidentally pulling up literal p*rn on the projector I wish I was joking.

Orrin Wang ENGL312 Anonymous 05/06/2023	I have to agree 100% with the review below. Orrin’s class is very politicized when the content of the course definitely does not call for it. His grading is extremely subjective - I read on one of his reviews that he picks favorites, which is all too clear from my experience in his class. I have all A’s in my other courses, but in Wang’s, I have a low B even though I have done all the work to the best of my ability and have been very attentive in class. Randomly brings up race, when it has no relation at all to the topic (honestly borderline racist!) Do not take him! As the person below said, the course may sound fun, but Wang himself is anything but.
Orrin Wang ENGL312 Expecting a B Anonymous 04/10/2023	During mid semester, the highest grade in the entire class was around an A-. Preaches his opinions during class and tests you on them. Says he welcomes discussion, but class time is really just him preaching his opinions. He grades extremely subjectively and is overall pretty difficult. I get that the class he teaches may sound interesting, but it's really not worth it.
Brian Richardson ENGL312 Expecting a B+ Anonymous 07/09/2021	His lectures are quite boring. Unless you're already interested in the subject he is discussing you will probably have a hard time paying attention. Other than that, though, he seems rather friendly and reasonable. He's a fair grader, too.
