Comment:
If you're looking for a fun film class full of learning about the most impactful movies of all time, look somewhere else. The movies that are chosen in this class are hard to find entertaining, at one point he told the class to "just look for the art." The discussions are almost worthless, as he likes to take up the entire hour. Look somewhere else

Comment:
Took EN284 with him,& was genuinely looking forward to learning the material. It was learned quickly that he is very 'this is how it's going to be or you won't pass' prof which was fine. However, even when putting in hours on one (!!) assignment, it still wasn't good enough for him. Will not be taking anymore of his classes & I suggest you skip too

I looked forward to this class every day. Prather knows Lit, and he loves talking about it. You have to read. You have to write. Participate so he knows you read the homework and you'll do fine. No surprises on the tests, but you do have to study. Class is chill. He has one harsh rule - if you miss more than 4 class periods, you'll fail.

This guy's awesome. Super chill and knows his art and English stuff, plus he's totally willing to meet with students and work with them. He's so laid back, class is like art therapy. Oh, and he has an amazing sense of humor.

HE IS THE WORST PROFESSOR EVER. He is the least understand professor and the biggest jerk ever! He is not understanding and grades way too harshly. He grades his sophomore level class harder than professors I've had for senior classes grade. DO NOT take classes with him!

As for helpfulness, this Prof just does not care! I had a situtation at the end of the semester and desperately needed to reschedule the final. I contacted him and he told me to make the class my 1st priority when I was basically homeless!

He's a very nice teacher and knows a lot about writing skills. His grading is tuff however. He might seem very easy going in class but when it comes down to grades he's pretty harsh. Overall it wasn't a bad class so i would recommend it.

I never exactly had an interest in taking this course, but those liberal studies requirements eh. This professor however made me look forward to class, and when I left I was usually thinking about something profound. The only problem with this class was the apathy of the other students. Participate and you will enjoy Prather's class.

First off, his hair is amazing and when he gets into things it starts flying across his head. Second, he is hilarious and just so leaniant about things. The class isn't a joke, but quite easy if you get your stuff done, which isn't hard. I enjoyed the class, Russ is fun!

ridiculously easy class. class anthologies are a joke. russ is way too leinient with the material that insipid students bring in. However, he makes the class exciting and will talk about literature after class. he will recommend good books and his critism is dead-on regarding creative work. I think he has given up on most students at this level.

This class requires alot of work into it. You need to show up to class and work vigorously on the assigments. No room for slacking in this class. While observing in class Prather had long borning dicussions. Most of the class fell asleep except the serious students who payed attention. Good guy cared about teaching the material but alot of work.

One of the worst English classes I've had. My high school English was much harder than this. Don't take if you're serious about English.

This guy was the most terrible prof ever. He totally picks favorites, and talks way too much. I had to leave class while he was still talking just to make it to my next class on time. And he has nothing useful to say.

Prather is a very passionate professor, in that he loves to talk about literature, if he talks too much during a class it is easy to forgive him because his knowledge is so awesome. I was also impressed by his purple or green jeans.

Very nice guy and very funny. He is brilliant: his lectures might seem boring if you are unable to follow him i.e. you are dumb, but if you pay attention and care about literature at all, he is a wonderful teacher you will learn a lot from. And he is a big bull stud.
