EGMT 1540

Owensby is clearly passionate about the subject matter, and I found the course interesting. However, the readings are very intensive and long. I usually ended up skimming them and was fine. Owensby is not an easy grader, and it felt like the workload was a little heavy for an engagements class. He also took some pretty extremist positions in the class, and he was not very open to contrasting opinions. Overall I enjoyed it.

Very patient and understanding professor, just assigns a bit of work. However, if you were to bring it up to him, he is very open and kind about it all. He is an eloquent speaker and encourages his students to do the same. I recommend going to office hours as well! He is a great person to just talk to.

As for the class, I feel this is a class everyone should take, and I wish it went even as far as to be mandatory for all. It was incredibly enlightening and inspiring, despite being heavy at times, and I wish it was open for all. I thoroughly enjoyed the class and do not regret taking it. The readings were a lot at first, but I got used to it, and they really are so useful and great. I highly recommend this class, and I ended with an A with some effort and minimal participation. He really just wants to see you engaged with the material, and his grading is very easygoing :)
