Dylan is very laid back, at least when I was in his class. We did have to purchase a book where we read short stories that were only a few pages long and discuss it but then we stopped using it. There were three major projects that your grade depends on but they are easy to get A's on and he gives good feedback.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2480669","quality_rating":5,"difficulty_rating":1},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:43:02.336164+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTMxNjA5Njkw","source_instructor_id":"rmp:2480669","instructor_name":"Dylan Weir","course_label":"ENGL100","course_id":"ENGL 100","course_uid":"course_d80dccb1baca4b05890eda4d","review_date":"2019-04-17 02:39:11 +0000 UTC","comment":"He only teaches English 100, which is a shame. His lectures are pretty much open discussions among the class which is different than most English 100 professors/TAs. Attendance is taken and you really only have to do 3 assignments, and it's not hard to get an A on all 3. On top of that, he's also a pretty funny guy and his feedback is helpful.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2480669","quality_rating":5,"difficulty_rating":1}],"total":5,"page":1,"courses":[{"course_uid":"course_d80dccb1baca4b05890eda4d","course_id":"ENGL 100"}],"matched":true},"socialImage":false}}
