He has interesting points on the books, although the lectures can be dry at times. He asks students' opinions near the end of class, which is good. His quizzes are pretty easy if one fully reads the books. Some of the books, though, are not very interesting in my opinion. His accent is not bad at all.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/463278","quality_rating":3.0,"difficulty_rating":2.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:55:19.516019+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTMzMTk1NDc0","source_instructor_id":"rmp:242285","instructor_name":"Andrew Reynolds","course_label":"LITTRANS204","course_id":"LITTRANS 204","course_uid":"course_e29a082336500394d374e6eb","review_date":"2020-05-04 15:03:41 +0000 UTC","comment":"Lectures are a bit boring, not gonna lie. Attendance was part of the grade, but you just have to show up. Lots of reading and many quizzes/essays, but grading is generous. Andrew tried his best during the coronavirus, and there were clear expectations as to what he wanted. He is understanding and is willing to help students.

His class is very tending to the median of the class, and is very open for recommendations to help with his teaching.  The only downside is that some of the novels you read will be long and hard, but he does a great job of breaking them down.

I enjoyed going to lecture just to hear Prof Reynolds talk-- he's super intelligent and made connections in the text that I never would have understood otherwise.

He's freakishly smart, and if you can stay awake in his class, you learn a LOT.  The trick is, however, to stay awake... he's a little too smart for his own good, frequently going off on tangents.  Certainly a great professor, though, funny and smart, what more could you want?","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/242285","quality_rating":3.0,"difficulty_rating":1.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:27:36.548681+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTQxNTUzMDU1","source_instructor_id":"rmp:1583172","instructor_name":"Karen Evans-Romaine","course_label":"LITTRANS204","course_id":"LITTRANS 204","course_uid":"course_e29a082336500394d374e6eb","review_date":"2025-08-06 18:20:46 +0000 UTC","comment":"Terrible, don't take LITTRANS 204 from her.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/1583172","quality_rating":1.0,"difficulty_rating":3.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:27:36.548681+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTQxMjc0NzYy","source_instructor_id":"rmp:1583172","instructor_name":"Karen Evans-Romaine","course_label":"LITTRANS204","course_id":"LITTRANS 204","course_uid":"course_e29a082336500394d374e6eb","review_date":"2025-05-14 01:34:11 +0000 UTC","comment":"Really kind and caring professor, clear and interesting lectures and easy to talk to.
