If you read the books (even brief skimming to get the key details), he takes it from there and provides clear and detailed analysis that you can use in your 3 in-class essays which make up the bulk of your grade. He also has super funny, dry humor which made the class quite enjoyable. A real gem.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/399338","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":2.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:12:35.700232+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTM0Njc2MTkz","source_instructor_id":"rmp:399338","instructor_name":"Patrick Rumble","course_label":"LITTRANS254","course_id":"LITTRANS 254","course_uid":"course_8b508d4f3f69957f245896fd","review_date":"2021-05-01 18:40:22 +0000 UTC","comment":"One of the most caring and passionate professors. He clearly loves what he teaches, which makes a big difference. The books we read and movies we watched were interesting, even if you aren't big into literature. There are 3-4 essay exams where you get to select a prompt from options given. Definitely recommend him for a literature professor!","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/399338","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":3.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:12:35.700232+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTM0MjYwMDg2","source_instructor_id":"rmp:399338","instructor_name":"Patrick Rumble","course_label":"LITTRANS254","course_id":"LITTRANS 254","course_uid":"course_8b508d4f3f69957f245896fd","review_date":"2021-01-10 21:18:40 +0000 UTC","comment":"His online lectures are a bit long, and he takes awhile to analyze the books. He likes to go on tangents about Italian history, but when he gets to the analyses, make sure you write them down for the exams. There are few exams. You choose one of the few prompts and write about the books. I'm a CS major, and I got high 90s on all of them.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/399338","quality_rating":4.0,"difficulty_rating":2.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:12:35.700232+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTMyNzU3Mjk1","source_instructor_id":"rmp:399338","instructor_name":"Patrick Rumble","course_label":"LITTRANS254","course_id":"LITTRANS 254","course_uid":"course_8b508d4f3f69957f245896fd","review_date":"2019-12-25 17:04:05 +0000 UTC","comment":"As a neurobio major, I was a little worried going into an intermediate literature class. However, this class is super interesting and isn't too hard to get an A in. Go to the lecture. Take notes. Write about one of the main themes in the books on the in-class essay and you'll do just fine.

I'm a neurobio major and took this class because I heard it was an easy A for a lit class- 100% true. Didn't read any of the books. Went to all lectures- he analyzes all books in lecture. He even gave us page numbers for hints for the exams. Great guy!
