Comment:
Took him for Epic in Word & Image and loved it. Lots of reading and lots of homework, but he provides extremely detailed feedback on the discussion posts and engages with what you've written. Lectures are a little bit sleepy, but manageable. I ended up having major surgery at the beginning of the semester and he was very flexible with due dates

Comment:
Prof. Rushing was the worst academic experience ever. He did not grade throughout the semester, failed to engage the class, and never answered students when questioned about content, grading, or other concerns. He made the class miserable for all but two students. Collectively, we had to speak with the department head just to get our answers.

Comment:
I was very excited to take the Intro to Global Studies course, but I was very disappointed. Professor Rushing did not respond to emails nor focus on the course material. The lectures were focused on German history. In-class lectures were very boring and unengaging. Grades were not uploaded on time, so I wasn't sure if I was passing the class.

Took him for Epic in Word and Image, it was the first time this course was offered so assignments came up kind of on the fly. That being said, I loved him! He was very nice and very willing to help, and was passionate and knowledgeable. Very few straight-forward hmwk assignments and only two 3-5 page papers. Do the work and it's an easy A.

Comment:
Decent professor kinda boring but interesting if that makes sense. Easy class if you do the readings recommend sparknotes to help you understand gives more than enough grades so if you fail this class you shouldn't be in college. Nice guy but can be standoffish. Overall it was ok but an easy A. Wants people to succeed.

Comment:
German Cinema we watched 13 movies & we didnâ??t do that much work for the class. However, he is a tough grader. If you are looking for a class to get a B in thatâ??s pretty simple- to get an A you have to put a decent amount of time in to do the assignments. 30% is for short assignments (1 page) 35% mid-length (2-3 pages)35% is the final paper.

Comment:
Had for World Masterpieces. He assigns a ton of reading but you don't have to use the book for 95% of the class. Just use sparknotes and you'll save yourself alot of time and effort. I got a 98 in the class using pretty much only sparknotes, the people who struggled were the ones actually reading the textbook. The tests are complete jokes. Easy A

Had him for World Masterpieces. Good teacher, but its just straight lecture. Lots and lots of reading each night, and there are quizzes every 2 or so classes. 3 Tests, not too bad, but tough to get an A or B.

Fairly easy course. All classes are him talking and talking. Interest level is fairly low. A lot of reading grades fairly harshly to a point. He wont fail you unless you do nothing at all. Easy grade just do your work.

A very intelligent professor. Assigns alot of reading, but the course was on the epic. Assignments are clear. Reads from his notes at first , but as time progresses there are more discussions.

Comment:
Medieval German Literature. This was a tremendous class. Alot of reading, but Professor Rushing's interpretation & explanation of the books were remarkable and captivating. Yes the "pop" quizzes, oral report, and final exam were not easy, but if you pay attention, attend classes and read you can do very well. If you have questions, just ASK.

very boring when he lectures about the movies. Harsh grader, but you can't fail, never gives anything but a C. Wouldn't recommend taking it. Never cancels or lets you leave early.

Very Harsh Grader. He will not give you an "A" no matter how much effort you put into this course. In class finals are tough!!! He expects you to write like a genious. Movies are so boring and worse you have to analyze every little detail.

Pay attention and if you don't understand anything (movies or assignments) JUST ASK. If you think you can just watch movies without having to think, go see Gigli.
