Joel Pace
University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire
Department:
English/Literature
Professors: Respond to evaluations by creating an account
He does give very helpful comments on papers and is more than willing to help students. That's great and more professor should do that. However, his daily assignments are absurdly difficult. The readings he assigns are much too hard for a 200-level class and he knows it. He laughs about how graduate students have a hard time with a certain essay and then expects stimulating discussion from a handful of undergrads. His expectations are far too high and it creates an environment that is frustrating and not conducive to learning.
