Comment:

Reiss is interesting. I don't really mind him too much, but he can be a difficult grader on essays. I was an A+ writer in high school and he usually gives me B- or B+. However, he will take off points for trivial grammatical errors (or simply opinions) and he's strong headed that his opinion is the right one. You HAVE to read the content to pass.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE HIM. He is a very very tough grader on essays and basically anything else you write. He will take off points for ever little grammatical error and words that he thinks should be used otherwise. He will ask you for a Specific point that you put in your essay and when you ask him he will just say be more specific. He is an awful teacher.

Comment:

This class with Mr. Reiss was one of the worst I have taken. His opinion is the only one that matters apparently, so it isn't worth the time to give your own. Do the reading! There is no way to pass if you don't. Go to class, most of the test Q's come from things he says in class. The class is easy, it is just unbearable to sit in a room with him.

Comment:

Very nice guy, but you have to do your reading if you want to succeed in the class and it is a LOT of outside reading. Grades essays kinda hard. If you're a good writer and read when you're supposed to, you will do well. You earn the grade you get. Always prepare for this class bc you WILL be called on randomly!

Comment:

Could be a great professor if he would let students interpret material rather than implying that his opinion is the only way of looking at the subject. He WILL offend you at some point.

Thinks we should know the chapter before he lectures on it. All this reading is too much.
