Comment:

Honestly, this was my best class this semester. He helped me get a different outlook of the discipline, and developed my interest in it. He is accessible outside of class. You just gotta read for each class and be ready to talk about the material for discussion. Don't take him if you don't want to put some effort in.

Comment:

Professor Reynolds is the most unapproachable, condescending professor Ive ever crossed paths with. He expects you to know so much and honestly makes you feel stupid. I recommend doing everything you can not to have him as your professor.

Comment:

Professor Reynolds was very hostile, and generally unapproachable. Whenever I had a question, I felt like I couldn't ask him because I felt like he'd patronize me for not knowing the answer. He lacked basic empathy/compassion for students during the face of a pandemic. He's also an extremely difficult grader. My advice, take CF with anyone else.

Comment:

I learned so much from this class. It's one of the most interesting courses I've ever taken and that's so much because of his personality, he's such an intelligent person and you'll get so much out of this if you put in the effort, however, it is quite the difficult class

Best professor Ive ever had the pleasure of taking. Amazing lectures. Made me see the world differently. If you read, show up, participate, and study for the exams, youll do just fine. If you dont want to actually put in any effort, dont take this class - but if youre willing to work a little, youll learn a lot!

Comment:

His lectures are extremely interesting but get ready to study for his exams which are really really hard. There is one paper to write, which he is extremely critical while grading. Get ready to work but you learn A LOT in his class.

Comment:

You pay your tuition for people like him. I took him two years in a row initially almost receiving a D, wanted to prove myself and ended up getting an A the second time. He challenges you, forces you to develop your thoughts, knows how to get you to do that based on how you learn. Participating in class discussion helps more than reading everything

Comment:

reynolds approaches cultural foundations unlike most profs. he is politically woke, witty, and knows how to pull information out of his students versus just lecturing at them. still thinking about the things i learned in his class today! one of the most intelligent people you will meet ever

Comment:

just wow. full of passion about what he is teaching, very dynamic and engaging, and makes his grading process very clear. he can seem a little intimidating at first but is honestly funny, eloquent, and helpful. really knows how to take command of a classroom but can also be a wonderful listener and encourages discussion.

Comment:

If you do not understand something from the class, the guy will get mad at you. Definitely makes people feel bad for giving wrong answers. Very difficult class and assigns lots of homework with hard readings. If he just doesn't like you, expect a bad grade regardless of how hard you work for it. Learning material that no other class is learning.

TAKE REYNOLDS. I am blown away after every single class- he is one the most intelligent people you will ever meet and my favorite professor this semester. He is able to articulately synthesize huge, earth shattering concepts with respect to both detail and overarching aesthetic themes. Funny, energetic, engaging. Am definitely taking him again!

Definitely not an "easy" class, but so worth it; he is one of the most intelligent people I've ever met and his personality and lectures are fantastic. The material is very interesting, and he makes it even more so. If you listen while he's talking, do the reading/semi-thoroughly skim, and talk at least once per class, you're golden.

Comment:

This guy is super smart and a great lecturer. He demands active participation and unless you connect personally with him, like his love of Massive Attack, prepare to work VERY hard because he is a downright brutal grader. If you want a challenge, take his class. If you want an easy grade, run for the exit.
