Chose him! He's one of those professors who changes your view on life after you've taken his class. He's very understanding, hilarious, and caring. You have 3-4 essays that he's more than willing to help you on, 3 quizzes from the book (5 easy questions), and the rest of your grade is peer reviews. He makes sure you learn, but not struggle.

Same as any ENG class, lots of reading and writing. Professor Jones is different because he is clear about his assignments and how he grades. Every paper gets a rubric in advance. Don't take if you are always late or absent. The essays count a lot, everything else counts only a little bit. Do things like he tells you and you will get good grades.

Essays are his thing. You get about 4 per semester. Provides all the help you can ask for. Attendance is crucial. He does not play about being tardy.
