<p>Has anyone had experience with Jon Blandford for W131? Nice remarks on Ratemyprofessors but grade distribution average for last semester was 2.2. Did he just have a poor group or is he that tough?</p>
<p>No experience with Blandford here.</p>
<p>I'd say that considering the grade distribution was 1 A, 6 Bs, 8 Cs, 1D, 1F, and 7 W/WXs, the gentlemen is quite tough on the lower half of the class. While it is possible that he just got a very lax group of students, you might want to considering transferring to another section of ENG W131 if that is possible. </p>
<p>(The grade curve was overly tough but fair I suppose (2.2), but the 7 withdraws out of 24 students is what particularly bothers me).</p>
<p>Thanks. That is also my impression. My son is now waitlisted for two other sections. Early hours but hopefully a lot less long term aggravation...if he gets in.</p>
