9. I disliked the amount of reading expected to get done in such a short period of time.
10. His attendance policy--I understand that it has to be enforced, but marking an A student down to a D because of attendance is steep.
11. The course rotates too strictly around the text.
12. The rigidness of the second project.
13. He was very condescending & talked down to us often.
14. I wish there was more journal or free writing to help me focus on each project. Feel more disciplined if we spent more time working on papers in class.

3. The way this professor handles disagreements with students is often inappropriate and abrasive. Spending five minutes berating a student in front of the entire class is not a professional way to handle disagreements.
4. I think overall you are a great professor. You're class is interesting and you're pretty nice.
