Jason Rudy ENGL359A Expecting a B+ Anonymous 01/30/2010	This man was truly an arrogant "SOB". He was only nice when he spoke of his adopted son/private sessions during office hours to review your paper. However, in class: Rude, Snob, Arrogant, Blatant Favoritism, Verbally abusive, Mean, and would intentionally pronounce things with a European air, though he was from the Midwest. He even purposely mispronounced a girl's name in our class, and was proud of it bec. he thought it sounded better. Who swears at college students in a malicious manner? He does. Don't take him unless you want to be cursed at, talked down to, and bogged down with readings and then have your final consist of "fill in the blank/essays" from 5,000 8-year long poems. His motto: "Your job is to try to impress me." Still want to enroll?
Jason Rudy ENGL359A Anonymous 10/06/2009	NEVER TAKE HIS CLASS. it sounds interesting, but hes actually an extremely angry professor and will give you a C because he loves proving himself. seriously, never ever ever take this class with him he will never give you a good grade, and if you want to know why the answer is simply that he doesnt feel like it. hes a horrible teacher and his lectures are boring and he literally exists in this school to make ur life a little bit worse in any way you can. trust me, avoid him at allllll costs. i honestly have nothing good to say about him, and this class could have potential to be interesting if he didnt butcher it like he does. AVOID RUDY ITS DEFINITELY NOT WORTH IT.
Jason Rudy ENGL359A Expecting an A Anonymous 12/21/2007	I had Professor Rudy for his Love, Sex, and Poetry in the Long 19th Century class. The class was extremely interesting--it's not often that you discuss poetry with this approach for an entire semester. The reading load was fairly light (maybe like 5 poems for every class), and class discussion was very lively. I personally loved many of the poems we read. He assigns quizzes, but they're scheduled on the syllabus and extremely easy if you've done the reading. He requires 5 short responses to poems, and again, as long as you say something smart, you're going to get a good grade. He grades his papers (2 4-5 pages papers) very fairly, and the prompts are very interesting. He actually assigns 3 papers, but you have a choice between the 2nd and 3rd. The final exam did not require intense preparation (pick 6 passages out of 10 to ID and write a short essay). I wholeheartedly recommend Rudy as a professor.
