He definitely is a tough grader and to get an A in this class you have to work exceptionally hard. Nice person, tough professor.

I registered for 1b and once i saw his name, immediate drop. His gradings are harsh, many people got weird points for a 2 points hw assignment, like 1.72, 1.56 or like 0.98. I just don't get why, the hw are worth so little. He's very biased too. I don't get what's the point for taking off points like that.

He only gives good grades if he sees you as a "good" student. This guy is the most two-faced person I've ever met. He acts nice, but he's actually really petty. If he's biased against you, of course, your essay won't get a fair grade.

Avoid him. I felt as if my writing skills progressed BACKWARDS. He has no clear grading criteria, and his explanations are so incoherent that it's concerning. He should just retire because he adds absolutely nothing to this department. Just for reference, I excelled in the next English classes without taking any of his advice.

Love him for my English 1B! Yes, he grades comprehensively, and you need to read the class materials. However, he will give you extremely well taught lectures and feedbacks on your essay when they are submitted. You also have a chance to improve your essay with his feedback, and receive refined grades. I am loving his class, and I highly recommend!

do not take this class. He grades such a tough grader and doesn't give anything above a c+. He expects growth but makes 2/4 essays timed... so we don't even get time to revise our essays. His class is so hard and gives so much reading every week. He gives 20-30 + pages of pdf reading and expects us to know it well for our essays.

if I were to go back to go back in time, I would've dropped the class or had a completely different professor. he clearly has favorites and if you are not one of them, he will grade you very harshly and not give you the time of day. if you want to have a good quarter, do yourself a favor and don't take this professor.

Overall he was a good professor though the class was hard by nature. He gives good feedback, but some of it isn't helpful. Not sure if he does this all the time but he allowed my class to do essay revisions. He has a good sense of humor and is pretty forgiving. Office hours are useful but can be fairly packed.

I had this professor a while ago, but after taking the other English courses after ENG 1A, I realized he made this class unnecessarily hard and confusing. His grading criteria and explanations were so unclear compared to my other English professors. My writing skills have improved exponentially, thanks to my other English professors—not him.

If you want to not learn about English, take his class. he is so unforgiving and does not care about his students. His lectures were so boring and he had a tone that screamed sarcasm. Do not take him

He sucks tbh. He is so sarcastic and goes on random yapping sessions to the point where he can't finish what he was trying to teach. He is constantly talking about how grades should not exist yet is such a harsh grader? He prepares no alternatives for people who can't attend class and does not seem to care about that.
