Contrary to the previous comments, I found Mr. Newell to be a very helpful instructor in spite of the fact that I am not a female. In fact, I received an A for the class. If you have any desire to learn to express yourself properly in your writing, I high

I got a B on a paper and it wasnt easy to get it but he is very fair. Too many people dont want to work because who wants to take comp 2? To them, he's impossible because they dont try very much. Thats their problem, not his

His class is hard, but I expected that. I started the class hoping for just a C but I have a B right now. I think some people in class think he's unfair b/c he holds you to his rules.

Not as easy as comp 1, but not that bad if you do what he asks. Don't try to do anything at the last minute. It kills your grade

As an older student, I can't believe the gripes the younger kids have today. I think he's tough, and I think he could help out more, but he's not bad at all. I'm sure the comments from a few days ago are from my class. He's bad because they don't work.

Mr. Newell kept himself very busy during class trying to help each student with proper sentence structure, paper focus, MLA format, and etc. He was energetic. He did an excpetional job showing me how to use MLA, and the in class exercises were very contructive.

Mr. Newell did a good job with this class. The assignments weren't too easy or too hard. He tells exactly what he wants. So I recommend Mr. Newell!

I enjoyed this class, and learned a lot from it.

I came into this class with dread and fear of failure. I came out with confidence in my ability and a B. The information I needed to write better was easily found. Questions were answered quickly. I think more direction about what was wrong with essays may have helped me do a little better.

There were times where it was difficult to determine what was wanted in the begining. Things were handled fairly and well. Once the communication hitches were ironed out it was alot better.

Great teacher! Very clear on all instructions.

Bob did a great job at making sure the class was together as a class and working on the same week. Also, the assignments were made clear, the dates in which they were due, and how he wanted them done were also very clear. This class was easy to get through.

Probably the best English class I've ever taken.

I thought Mr. Newell was very clear with his instructions, and had quick response time to questions.

Having not been in school for more than ten years, I was afraid of writing/english. Bob is a good instructor and helped me get better at writing a paper. Very informative class, I hope I can have Mr. Newell as a teacher again.

The Class was a little scary at first,, but once i got the hang of it it was fairly easy.

Although this class was on-line, he made it very easy and I enjoyed having him as a teacher.

At, first I tought this class was going to be difficult to learn, but when I got the hang of the class it was pretty easy. Overall im happy with the grade I recieved in this class. Mr. Newell was very helpful. I really enjoyed him as a teacher.

Ineresting class with interesting reading involved. He seemed to grade tough, but made me work for improvement.

This class was so much fun. I loved talking on the boards! The boards were my favorite part.

I really enjoyed this class and thought Mr. Newell was a GREAT professor :)

Very well taught class.

I think that it would be helpful for the students to meet with him personally at the beginning of the writing process.

Sorry, Mr. Newell I never got to meet you in person. I really enjoyed your class and it has made me excited about continuting three semesters from now. I have to finish high school and then I'll see you next fall. Had a great time taking your class thank you.

Excellent teacher. Graded very fairly and explained how to fix what was wrong. Always willing to help. I'd definately take another class with him.

It was a pleasure being in his class.

I am sure that Mr. Newell is hot, most older guys are, but his performance as a teacher is what really caught my eye. I would love to take more classes with him, his insight and comments really aided in my writing ability, I appreciated the feed back. All in all a nice guy.

I really enjoyed this online class. At first, i was not to enthused about having to take another writing course, but I really grew to like it. My teacher was very helpful by helping me out with my weaknesses and his assignments were very clear.

Great eng 101 class...better than any high school english class!!

I think that Mr. Newell is tough but you just have to really keep up and pay attention to your assignments.

I took Mr Newell's online. He was very instructive. I would like to take one of his courses in person sometime. It would be more interesting that way.

The online English 120 class with Professor Newell was a complete pleasure. Prof. Newell was very clear with the assignments and what he expected out of the class. He was helpful by offering advice for the next essay along with the grades. I enjoyed having him as a teacher.

Great class, really enjoyed the movies. Actually learned quiet a bit and ya. Teacher is awesome and made the class enjoyable for all.

Your class was great!

The class was very informative and I was able to keep up on a busy schedule. Mr. Newell answered what questions I had with great clarity and insight.

I really enjoyed the material; film and the process of making it takes on a whole new loof for me. Everything was pertinent to the class.

I really enjoy going to class. I like the projects we do. I understand what he is teaching and overall I believe the rest of my class is on the same page and working well together.

Took online a while back. It was a good course and I did learn a lot. Feedback was great and he did offer a lot of advice. Online classes are harder, but if you stay on top of it he will reward you. I liked him a lot!

Took Comp I online, enjoyed it. Passed easily as a high school student and requested him again once I was in college.

was a little out there but easier than expected

Daily responses insanely easy (well assuming you are reading). Stupid jokes but keeps the class lite.

Great selection of movies. Pans Labyrinth!

not hard and pretty nice overall

Very good teacher. Only required like 7 essays throughout the whole class and they were intersting topics! Also, the disscusions and stories you had to read were actually interesting. He was very helpful and overall I loved the class and am taking him again for Comp 2!

This guy was the man. He had strict rules but we are in college now and if your not ready to be an adult then do not waste your time taking his class, but if you are prepared to do the reading and learn something new then this is up your alley

pretty decent teacher. offers conference days before the midterm and final to make sure your doing it right. sometimes he requires a half page and will tell to its not long enough and when he requires a page its too long.

He has even said so himself, that he is much harder and more strict in his Comp classes. But he is such an awesome teacher. He is definitely laid back and he tries not to overwhelm his classes with a ton of reading assignments all the time. One reading assignment per class. His midterm is kind of difficult, but if you go to the conferences it helps

Extremely easy. I took film online and he spells out what he wants. I ended up with a 99%. Just make some slight effort, which I'm sure a lot do not. This course is not hard by any means. And yes he is picky about proper spelling and grammar, but it is college so it SHOULD be proper.

Very easy and really laid back. Easy to understand and know what things are due.

loved it!

I ended up liking this Intro to Lit class more than I thought I would have. Newell was always engaging the class in discussion and expects a lot from his students. If you don't keep up, though, you won't do well. I recommend taking one of his classes, he's an interesting guy.

I have had Mr. Newell for several classes and I absolutely love him! He teaches English, so of course there is a lot of writing involved, but he is pretty lenient in his grades. He is very helpful if you take the time to ask him questions and get his feedback. He is by far my favorite teacher on campus.

Bob is a really cool guy! Attendance isn't mandatory but if you skip often, like I did, you won't do well. Show up every day and you pretty much get an A. He's the kind of person that likes face-to-face interaction, so office hours are crucial. His teaching style is awesome and the movies and stories are great. No tests and only homework is to read

Bob is a super cool guy who really wants to hear what his students have to say. The movies he chooses are really interesting! If you go to class and participate you'll get an A. Every grade besides the papers are in class, so if you don't go you won't pass. I'm definitely taking his other classes!

Favorite teacher! Class was fantastic, great discussions!

Bob Newell is the kind of teacher who makes you think outside the box. He expects you to participate, but let me be very clear, if you do not participate , the class is going to be very boring and it will drag on . You have to show up to learn the material. I had him for LIT-130 and that is the reason i took his film class. Hes really good.

This class was amazing and I would take it again in a heart beat. The reading material was sometimes odd but good. Other material was interesting and made our class get involved. Don't get me wrong there is lots of reading for this class, but it is not a lot at one time. Participate in class discussion, it will help you out. Overall, Bob was good!!

This class was by far my favorite. Reading the stories is key. Come PREPARED. I cant stress that enough. If you participate in class discussions you will understand things better. NO Test. Just a final project at the end over four stories of your choice. He makes you think outside the box and makes you get involved! Great Teacher! Great class!

He was a great teacher. His class enjoyable, and he was able to very clearly explain directions as well as what he was looking for on certain homework assignments.

This class is super easy! He is a great teacher. All he assigns is a story to read for the next class period and during class you will analyze the reading in class with the other students. He has open discussion and is very open to everyone's ideas. As long as you show up to class, you'll get a good grade. He did not even have a real final!

If you do what he asks, you'll pass. There are little "bell work" assignments at the beginning of most of the classes, so if you don't show up, you won't pass. He is a pretty good teacher all together. He does have the time to give you feedback, but he prefers to do it in person, it's just easier that way. One of the easiest classes I've taken, 97%

Bob's class was the easiest course I have ever taken. I had him for intro to lit, and I got an A+ on every assignment, including the midterm. I was working a full-time job while enrolled in Bob's class, and I still managed to get everything done.

I struggled at first, but once I reached out & meet with him, I realized I was just over thinking it. I was able to find all movies at local library or Netflix. Just do the work and be active within the assignments. As a Humanities credit I actually enjoyed this class which I didn't expect going in but he offered a good perspective.

I took his Into to Film class and absolutely loved it!! He brought a great energy to the class and made me feel welcomed to be there! Only had class once a week and the film took up majority of class! Assignments due once a week and amazing extra credit opportunities towards the end of the year! Suggest taking this class for any art credits!

Mr. Newell is a great teacher. He spends the beginning of the class with a few notes, and then we watch and discuss the movie. He does a great job making sure everyone is involved and giving students the opportunity to get points. The small papers each week are easy. Just watch the movie and take notes from his power points, and you'll be fine!!

This is probably the easiest class I have ever taken. Do the reading assignments or you won't be able to complete the reading check. Be on time - if you're late then you will not know the questions. He won't repeat them. Follow the canvas day instructions and do the written assignments. Participate in class discussion. So so very easy.

I took Bob's online HUM 150 course. I don't really like films, so having a mandatory watch list was different. You are graded on each film. Some of the films either have lecture notes or a short story associated with it. Make sure you review these in conjunction with the film. He provides you with office hours and he responds to emails.

Be prepared to participate in class as the grade is heavily based on in-class discussion. Overall, he was a good professor, and he really wanted people to grasp and understand the material. Be ready to read short stories, watch movies, and analyze everything in between. He is a very nice guy, and I would recommend him if you need a fine arts class.

I enjoyed this class. I took it as a summer course though and was not ready for the amount of time it took as I also had a full time job. We watched two full length movies each week and then had to post discussions about each movie with comments back to other students.

Instructions clear but confusing at first. I took the movie class & u do a lot of writing for discussion posts, replies and a final paper. Pay attention to due dates. The 1st post is due 2 days ahead of the posted due date so people don't wait until the last second to start posting since u need replies. Overall not bad class just writing intensive
