Comment:
Having had a mediocre writing program in my high school, I learned to write well in Professor Rectenwald's class. Every single paper I've written since then, I've incorporated what I learned from him. The 76-101 Interp & Argument class was excellent - fascinating readings and class discussions that sharpened our intellects. Highly recommended!

Comment:
Does he view himself as some kind of tortured genius, or does he just come off that way? Either way, he's a very...interesting person. Defintiely worht taking a class from, if you can understand his sense of humor.

Comment:
Taught Mechanical Engineering seminar classes, which was an absolute waste of my time. Why is he still teaching it? We did very close to nothing, learned very little.

Comment:
A nice enough guy, get to know him. But the subject he teaches- "Science Studies", or the sociology of science- is ridiculous and boring. Lots of very difficult readings (most people don't read them anyway). But it's interp, there's only 3 essays.

Comment:
He provides arrogant/snide comments when grading papers and makes crude references in class - it's horrible. There are many 76-101 sections... pick another.
