Comment:
The BEST teacher at U-M, bar none. English 425 was a life-changing class; if you have the chance, take it if John is still there. No single person has ever cared more about their students. John is a legend among professors and people at this University. You write one essay; then evaluate every other student's one as a response, end reward is WORTHY

If you like writing, cursing, blasphemy, having fun, and working your tail off, take this class. If you want to inspired to be your best self, take this class. If you value trust, friendship, and universal truths, take this class. English 425 with John was the best three hours of my week every week. I would follow John to the end of the earth.

TAKE THIS CLASS! John was definitely the best teacher I had at UM-- I was practically crying when I left on the last day of class. He gives incredible feedback and he becomes a life coach. He really teaches you how to use grammar properly and how to write. If I could, I would retake this course in a second. A must take at UM-- he's the best!

John deeply (+ equally) cares about his students and his craft. You'll learn to write/edit in pursuit of truth and uncovering stories that should be told. The class becomes a senior year community (so precious!), & John cares for his students long past graduation. If you take one class at Michigan -- no matter your major -- take 425 with Rubadeau.

John's English 325 class was the best class I took in my entire four years in college. The atmosphere he is able to create in the classroom, and the connections that he creates with his students are unparalleled. If you only take one class at the University of Michigan, make it 325 with John.

John is by far the best teacher at U of M. He is funny, caring, and so passionate. He genuinely loves his job, and makes you want to come to class. Don't go in expecting an A though, you'll have to work for it, but it's worth it, trust me. Go to office hours & put effort into your work, and this will be one of the best classes you've ever had.

Comment:
Easily the best professor on campus. I was lucky enough to be taught by a handful of Golden Apple professors, but none captivated my like Rubadeau's. The rapport he develops with his students is unmatched, and the relationships he forges last decades. The best piece of advice I can give is to take his class as many times as he lets you.

The only class I took at UM that I truly adored. I could not wait to get to class each day and that's a testament to John. He creates such a warm, close-knit atmosphere that my class truly became a family. He is such a hilarious, intelligent man who genuinely cares about his students. I wish I hadn't graduated so I could take 425 with him.

John was incredible. He taught me more about the technical side of writing that I learned from all my other creative writing classes combined. He's funny, class is interesting, and there's always a wait list because so many people have been recommended to take his class. He's seriously the best.

John is by far the best professor I have EVER had at the University and this is by far the BEST class I have ever taken. As many people said do NOT take this class if you need to get an A. DO take the class if you want to be challenged and not only want to learn more about the english language but also learn more about yourself. John is the BEST!

Comment:
Do NOT take John's class if: you think writing is uninteresting, you feel entitled to an "A" grade, you can't tolerate cursing, and/or you aren't prepared to work your tail off. Not a class in which one can "get by on talent." That said, 425 was BY FAR the best class I've taken at UM. It exceeded my wildest expectations, and John is a RIOT.

John is the best professor you'll ever have. He cares deeply about his students and considers them all friends. You will learn a TON, but you'll have to work hard as well. Don't take his class if you want a blow-off upper level writing credit, and don't take his class if you're easily offended by "scatalogical" language.

Take this if you want to learn about writing. There are many reasons why UM's humanities departments receive high rankings by outside evaluation, and John is one of them.

This is among one of the best classes I've taken at Michigan. You will learn so much about yourself and everyone around you. Be prepared to work hard for John, but he will work hard for you. IF you get a chance to take this class, do yourself a favor and TAKE IT! It will change your life perspective.

The best professor I have had at the University. He loves teaching and he loves his students. The English taught by John will be carried with me for the rest of my life. He also has many lessons about life. Do not expect to take this class hoping for a high grade. But do expect to learn a lot. You will not regret taking this class.

Comment:
John is quite possibly the best thing since sliced bread and the cotton gin. He may be even better than double sliced and regular gin. His beard is substantial, and guaranteed to either impress or frighten or both. It changes colors from time to time. No one knows why. Taking one of his classes will be your best decision. I guarantee!
