Comment:

Interesting material in the class, but the professor was extremely boring and the 1:15 lectures were painful. 1-2 page and a half response papers are due every week after a lot of reading, so if you're looking for a class with little work this isn't it. They also grade the papers and exams pretty hard - I studied a lot and got B+s...Not an easy A.

BORING BORING BORING. Crowded lecture + monotone professor= snoozefest. I thought it would be a really great course but he made everything sound so tedious. I'll never take another class from this professor

Comment:

His lectures are pretty flat. He assigns a lot of articles, some of which are interesting, but mostly they're just time consuming. Grading system is really annoying: every point you lose is 1% of your final grade. Miss a few questions on the midterm and you're already stuck at a B.

Comment:

This teacher was horrible. I was very interested in the subject but he assigns inordinate amounts of work and grades very harshly. The experience was a negative one and my interest in the subject is now shot.

Sounded like it could be interesting from course description but Lynch is just a really flat lecturer. I couldnt help falling asleep. Its just power point after power point, and the prelims cant really be studied for...

Comment:

Great course... very repetitive of 301 tho, but new material is introdued. HW assignment dur every lecture, but counts towards final grade and keeps you up-to-date with reading. Profis really nice, and willing to offer extra help and explainant of anything. Took 30 1 and 407- i loved them both!

Lynch is a good, friendly prof. His lectures do tend to make you rather sleepy, but his chosen material was interesting. Grading is fair, class wasn't too hard, but lots of reading.

he's really really nice but lecture is like having your sweet old uncle tell you a bedtime story... just wanders off and voice drops off... which is prolly why i just slept thru lecture.
