This class ruined my mental health: I will never see square-shaped spaces the same again. Makes you journal like we're CHILDREN!! Attendance is mandatory, gets very annoyed upon skipping.

Absolutely love the guy. He has a hilarious dynamic with two of the other students in my class who bicker nonstop. In fact, most of the class is just on qbreader or worldguessr anyways. As long as the issue EVENTUALLY gets published, he does NOT care. #laissezfaireteaching

Would not take again. Promised engaging lectures but no eye candy in sight. Lectures for too long. He says "Chaaaaat" with a fancy “ch”, all french and stuff. Makes up new words like BS Machine or Dingle to stay cool but im js tryna focus up on this mf crucible 🙏 Class too hard smh

Sure! Here's your negative teacher review!
This professor demonstrates a consistently suboptimal pedagogical approach that fails to effectively engage diverse learning modalities. Lectures often lack clarity, coherence, and actionable insight, resulting in a diminished educational experience. While attempts are made to convey material, the execution does not align with expected academic standards. Overall, I would not recommend this instructor to students seeking a meaningful or intellectually stimulating course.

I used to like him. He gave me an A+ on one of the hardest AP Lang assignments of the year. But he thinks i skipped class one time but i was deadass sick. Now everytime i wear a mask he never lets me hear the end of it. I feel him looking judgmentally at me during every lecture. Seriously think the old man is bipolar.

My parents were students at Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, and Oxford. I would know a thing or two about professors. And oh my gaylord bro. He’s actually ragebaiting sometimes. Like im literally doing my work; why does my phone need to be in the dingle. I can multitask just fine. (Went on a school trip with him one time though. He was chill. Fixed my broken glasses. Still would prefer baked beans to taking his class again though)

I love DC. Definitely 1v9. Some of the students are complete troll. That one guy that keeps talking about beans is always giving me next time. Don’t get why DC gets so much hate.
