If you take Dr. Ray and do your assignments, you will get an A. He lays everything out and really helps you with your papers. Attendance is mandatory so just show up. He lectures and it is very boring but great professor. Just put some effort into your writing and he will give you an A.

Comment:

Dr. Ray is an easy going guy, who definitely comes off weird. At the end of the day he's very laid back and just wants you to do the assignment and somewhat benefit from it. Had him for 3 hours, definitely boring, but never lasts the full time. Easy A if you can manage the boring lectures.

Comment:

Professor Ray was always willing to help when you asked for it. I struggled sitting through class sometimes, but most were split into workshops which helped. The assignments seemed long, but he gives you plenty of time and once you start them, you can fill up the space pretty quickly. Overall I enjoyed the work for his class.

Comment:

Do not take his Seminar on the Grateful Dead. He shoveled books and movies at us and used the class as a vehicle for his fandom of this band. Did not do any readings for 3/4 of semester and still got 100%. In a class of 14 people, he asked me what me name was on the last day of class. Easy A, but a pretty lousy professor.

Comment:

Just take the class if you want an easy class but its still pretty boring. We had 3 easy essays the entire semester and I got 100% on all of them. Talks about boring stuff that you won't be tested on or need to learn. Pushes dates back all the time.

Don't expect to get any type of feedback or constructive criticism regarding your work. He tends to focus more on himself and what is going on in his life rather than the curriculum. His instructions are extremely vague and he doesn't care to clarify. Definitely would not take him again.

Comment:

The worst writing class I've taken at WCU. He rambles about his favorite band that has nothing to do with the topic, he's never organized and never sets up D2L drop boxes or discussions on time. Also, don't expect an email back from him for a few days. When he assigns a paper you have no idea what he's talking about. AVOID!

Use his office hours for extra help, he's happy to clarify anything. Really nice guy, try not to take advantage of him. Class can move slow at times but he is also really interesting in what he teaches.

This class is a total bore, only went to class to work on his projects or, more commonly, another classes project. Take this class easy A to suffer through sitting a boring lecture.

Easy class. Uses clickers for attendance and tests. His quizzes are right off his slideshows so textbook is barely needed.

Very nice guy, kind of like a pushover. All quizzes used clicker. He canceled almost every assignment. I did not have to read the books and I did the bare minimum and still passed. I kind of feel bad for him, but his class was definitely easy to get through with little to no effort. He takes attendance but is very unorganized.

He is seriously the nicest professor I've had. He always let us go early, the work is really easy, and he is really helpful. It can sometimes be really boring, but you could always tell he was trying his best. I highly recommend him!!

Dr. Ray is the nicest guy! The class is an easy A! He may go on little rants about the Grateful Dead, but overall the class was enjoyable. He always shows interesting videos although connecting to the reading. VERY nice and interesting professor.

Comment:

Dr. Ray is a great guy and he is really nice, but he thinks that everyone wants to become a pop. culture theorist when they grow up. He only teaches theory of pop. culture which made a subject that I thought would be interesting extremely boring. I absolutely dreaded going to class and I actually had to study for his tests. Does his with clickers.

Dr. Ray is super kind and caring of his students. Takes attendance every class but lets you on your phones and computers. Didnt use text book. Did use the reading book. Class was boring, but he posts everything online. Easy A and a super great guy. I would take him again! Also played random funny youtube vids or music vids in beginning of class.

Very helpful, easy going professor. Reminds me more of an editor than a professor. I took a longer class with him and it was a bit torturous, but he gives great feedback and understands technical writing very well.
