Comment:

Prof. House is a great professor who really cares about teaching his students about social issues and minority groups. His lectures are engaging and funny, and the videos he shows every class are interesting and provide a nice change of pace. There were only two tests and his study guides had everything on them. Easy, fun class that double dips too

Roger is awesome. With three other terrible professors this semester, he is the shining beacon getting me through my Tuesday. His class is extremely easy, and pretty interesting despite getting a little movie-heavy. He's a really funny, chill guy, and I'm really glad I took this class even though I thought it would suck.

Comment:

Class is truly a waste of time. He spends 20 mins putting up notes and then reads the notes verbatim. Takes a break halfway through the class. Lots of movies and clips. Has never responded to my emails and then marked me down for assignments I didn't know about because he didn't respond to my emails.

Honestly, as long as you show up, you're fine. I'm on my computer right now giving this review in his class. Nice dude. You watch a lot of movies and film clips in this class. Very few quizzes/projects. He spends the first 30 minutes writing on the board and he LOVES to take breaks. Take his class for an easy HI credit.

Comment:

Taking a class with Roger House is kind of worth it just to be able to explain to others the insanity of the experience. Forget the course listing. He mostly shows films and muses on the subject in a hilariously quotable manner. Tests are incredibly easy. Take him with a friend; he's stress-free and you'll have forty new House-related inside jokes.

Comment:

Prof. House's classes should be mandatory. He does not suffer fools and there is no hand holding, no bs, a lot of crucial info, and certain expectations of you. YOU WILL LEARN A TON. There is no turning back after having Prof House - this is college education as it should be. Extremely fair grader, but you need to pay attention and take notes.

Comment:

One of the worst professors at Emerson College. Doesn't care about the students..never answers emails, doesn't care about attendance, goes off topic all the time, makes education feel like a joke. He got denied tenure for one reason: because he is an awful professor.

Comment:

These reviews are all from before the tenure thing went down. House has definitely stepped up his game on grading. The class is still a breeze but on grading his papers he is very strict. Takes points off for ridiculous things. Good teacher but be prepared to have a perfect paper if you want the A.

Comment:

He tries to be nice and make jokes, but he really doesn't give you any idea of what your grade is, and you need to ask for clarification for paper assignments. Other than that he shows a good deal of movies and has lots of class discussions. Be prepared to print out every reading and waste a lot of trees because he doesn't allow computers.

He won't be coming back unless he wins his tenure battle. Nice guy. Easy to like. Expect to learn very little though. You'll be sleeping if you're in a morning class.

Don't expect to have any idea how you're doing grade-wise. Go to class (he takes attendance about once a week), write short papers, and you should do fine. We took a midterm "quiz" and never got it back, and never got a single paper back...ever. Not a particularly challenging class; prepare for a lot of Youtube.

Take this class if you want an easy A and a great hilarious teacher. You will not expect how much he becomes like the big brother of the class, and he always looks fly.

haha, he really was very easy, but that's not why he's great. He's a very nice, compassionate man who will teach you about life if you listen. Everyone needs one really hard teacher, but everyone needs one like him too.

Really great guy, very friendly, the class is a total BREEZE. He himself talks about how if the school knew what the class was really like he'd get a boot up-side the head. Very understanding about missed assignments or scheduling conflicts. and the adviser of the fencing club! Woo yeah fencing!

House is hilarious. I had fun in his class, though a lot of that fun was related to House himself rather than the subject matter. Definitely makes this gen. ed. course tolerable for everyone. Lots of movies!
