Comment:

The whole 'change the way you think' thing everyone here is talking about, yes, it's actually true. I believe that he was probably the best professor I will ever have. The Far From Home material itself is actually quite dull but I think I'd take a class on the history of latrine architecture if he were the teacher.

Such a GEM. He really pushes you to think critically. His classes will change your life and help to shape you, as long as you're open to making mistakes in the classroom! (if not, WHERE?) No matter where you are, he has value to add on to it. While it may seem daunting at first, your confidence and sense of self will GROW after his classes.

One of the most inspirational teachers I've ever had. You'll read a lot but the discussions in class are really interesting and he's comprehensive and gives good feedback.

No matter what grade you will receive, if you take this guy you will never forget him. He is one of the few teachers (and when I say few I mean it) that deserve to teach at such an expensive college as Berklee.

Id def say Pratt is the one of the teachers that changed my life, I learned how to not be boring and how to have interesting convos w/ people, in class he would encourage you to think in every perceptive. Seriously if you are a international student be sure to take his class, you will learn a ton of things that will help you in your daily life.

Comment:

DO NOT let your bias against all subjects that aren't music related affect your interest in his classes. He will probably make you hate him on purpose in your first classes and then surprisingly become your favorite teacher, mentor and make you engage with his class without you even realizing it. Highly recommended for high IQ and ADHD students.

Trust me, if you don't take Pratt while you are at Berklee, you are missing out a great opportunity! He is the life changer, inspiration and support! He not only cares about your academic performance, but also about you yourself! He is the gem of Berklee!

I 100% say you should take this teacher if you get the chance. He always is willing to help and all the assignments we do are interesting. Although there is a lot of writing in this class it is all very personalized so it doesn't feel like a chore. He is a fair grader and gives great feedback he also relates everything to your music career.

Inspirational teacher that challenges you. If you like writing, and pushing your writing skills to the next level, he is the one. If you are lazy, this may not be your choice. As he said, you only get as much as you put in.

Pratt is a cool guy, full of energy and passion for what he teaches. The point of the class I took with him was to generate new ideas and support them with convincing evidence, which is not easy all the time. While difficult, Pratt will usually try to help you. Read the texts/do the work, and listen to what he has to say; he's very intelligent.

Pratt knows his stuff, he just doesn't know who to teach at all. You are probably never going to get an A if he doesn't like you, no matter how hard you try. His class is torture.

Possibly the most obnoxious teacher I've ever had. Very condescending and requires that you buy a lot of books. Makes you do a lot of work for a rather unimportant class that doesn't really mean anything.
