Hot!!!!

I am surprised at all the negative comments against Mr. Isaacs. I've taken several of his English classes, and I look up to this man, greatly. I love his teaching style, and I always enjoyed going to class. He's the reasson why I am majoring in English.

awesome teacher. I took his English 1A, He is easy to talk to and understanding. He also made the class fun and interesting.

Mr. Isaacs teaches a very basic class and makes it fun. He certainly could teach a boring class, but he manages to make it relevant.

GREAT TEACHER!! I cant believe he has one bad comment! He is VERY helpfull and makes his class interesting by integrating his own POV with the lectures. Challenging, but in the end, you feel like you learned,A LOT!

Very challenging teacher but you learn a lot from him that can help you out later on. He goes over many things and always explains them in full detail.

Good teacher

He is the Best Professor I took during my 4 year attendance at Elco. He is a really cool Prof.His 2 hour classes were interesting and humorful.He's tighthighly recommended

He has you write papers, which are cool. However, the whole class gets to see what you write.

Great teacher, doesn't an excellent job of making english fun. Never a dull moment in any lecture. A lot of essays, but not difficult. I never missed a lecture (his good looks also helped out a little). Open to any questions you may have.

I've taken Isaacs for three English classes. I was terrified after the first class, but he turned out to be an amazing professor. On the hotness level, his humor and personality make him very appealing. I didn't want to miss class!!!

I have been in Professor Isaacs class for two semesters. I have to say, this guy is awesome! He's fun, his gives great work, and you really get something out of what he's trying to teach you. I suggest taking his class if your looking for someone good.

I had him for Eng 35 and 36. He's a great guy and a great teacher as well. He knows his stuff and he has a great personality to go with it. If you don't have sense of humor, don't take him. Otherwise, you'll love it!

Professor is the best teacher that you can ever have at el camino. He teaches really great let me warn you he is a good teacher but he is not that easy. But I would strongly recommend him....

Awsome professor. Hilarious, entertaining, and interesting.

Professor Isaacs is a really good professor! he's really funny!he keeps u entertained and likes to make fun of u at the same time! He explains things really good...the bad part is u have a 2 page essay due every weeek! but other than that its very entertaining! i highly highly recommend him!

BESIDES THE WEEKLY ESSAYS DUE (ONLY ONE PG) HE IS SIMPLE AND FUN. HE EXPLAINS HIS BOOK AND SHORT STORIES REALLY REALLY WELL, AND HE LIKES TO CONVERSE WITH THE CLASS A LOT WHICK IS GOOD CAUSE IT EASES THE TENSION THE VERY FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

He is a great teacher to take for 1b. He makes learning fun and often talks about his love life which is often funny to hear about. He grades pretty easy on essays but he tells you what exactly u need to do to get an A. His quizes are funny but a little random. TAKE THIS GUY!

Awesome!! Awesome Teacher!! Funny. Witty. EASY EASY EASY Laid back type of guy that you can still learn from. Take Him!! You will enjoy it even if you HATE english!!

He's an awesome teacher to take for Eng1A because you actually learn something, plus he's lots of fun.His class is not easy, and you cannot procrastinate if you want an A.

Very good teacher, I highly recommend him. He makes learning fun.

if you have to take an english clas, get him!! awesome in teaching! lectures after readings are his downfall, no room for discussion, but other than that great!

Very casual and funny, always lots of laughs in class. He really loves English and his lectures can be very interesting. Quizzes are nitpicky and quite hard, average grader on essays. Expect short weekly essays and quizzes, but for essays he cares more about content than mechanics.

great teacher. very helpfull too.

VERY HELPFUL!!! Always had open office hours. Loved the class, informative, and you can tell that he enjoys what he's teaching. He genuinely cares, and not too bad looking either ;)

He is a good teacher when it comes to learning because he makes english intresting. Also is very SEXY and FUNNY.

Loved the class. He thinks he's hard but really don't be intimidated. Take him and you'll be in for a fun and interesting semester. He tends to talk alot but he's amusing to listen to anyways so it's ok. A good english teacher who is willing to help his students.

Professor Isaacs is such a fun teacher.He's really smart and he cares about the subject that he's teaching. Discussions with him were never boring and he always cares about your thoughts and opinions.Lots of essays to write though, sometimes it's a bit much. He's the kind of guy you wanna chill w/outside of class b/c he's so fun and interesting

I think he is HOT!! haha He's a good and interesting teacher. He DOES NOT have an accent and is NOT monotone. You do write a lot of short essays rather then a couple of long ones.

He's a great teacher, really down to earth and easy to relate to. His lectures are interesting and funny, and he likes to joke around. I recommend him!

awesome. i liked him so much im taking other classes he's teaching.

I had him for 2 english classes. English1A was one of them, and I was glad I had him for it. He made it fun, but you still learned a lot. Not to say he's not bad lookin either.

very funny. fun class!

Type of guy I can relate to

Apart from being so hot he knows his stuff, and is diffucult but prepares you for life in english

He is hilarious! although he scares you on the first day in class by the second day he is a teacher you would love to be around. We have eazy quizzes and harder quizzes. Most of the time the harder ones are with a group. Overall I enjoy his class. He will really keep you laughing always. Just dont let him scare you the first day! Highly Recommended

Well he is the hottest teacher on campus that I've seen. He is funny and will always have something funny to say. His class is one of the best classes I've ever had.

Take him if you're transferring to a 4yr college. You'll be well prepared. Otherwise, he'll help you find an easier teacher. Minus the intimidation from the first day, he's very clear, helpful, humorous. Read all material, participate, buy a ****load of scantrons, and you'll be absolutely fine.

be sure to be active in his class, he appreciate your comments (sometimes make jokes of 'em), but he's nice and casual. makes me appreciate english literature deeper and better. I must admite, I'm now interested in english because of his class. He makes jokes, that depends on each individual to decide its funny or not. overall his O.K

The people that rated Isaacs bad are just dumb! he is such a great and entertaining teacher. he makes you write an essay every week...but they are easy. He talks about eng. is such a differnt way, it makes you want to learn.he is a very good teacher. He is fair, HONEST, (be prepared to hear about a lot of things), and he's not hard to look at a

Best teacher I have ever had at any level. The guy makes the class actually INTERESTING. I love the fact that he trails off during lectures, and he finds a way to relate pop-culture to what he is teaching. He's absolutely hilarious and I can only hope he teaches a class that I need in the future.

Excellent teacher, I was going to wait until I transferred before I took any serious literature classes but with professor Isaacs I trusted the quality of his teaching enough to enroll in two more of his literature classes. The classes are awesome, and you will constantly learn new things as well as be entertained.

Class is not easy.

This class was very very interesting. I liked it.

i never enjoyed english or understood the proper format to write a paper untill his class. he makes learning simple and enjoyable

Great teacher - a stickler on puncuation, but teaches you to do it. Funny, good story teller, knows his stuff. Remcomend his classes!

A fun class. You have to write a lot of essays and take a lot of tests which are based on mostly obscure and pointless aspects of the stories, but he makes class fun and he can analyze the heck out of a story, thats for sure. Class is hard though for sure if you suck at writing. Went from about 35-40 students originally and ended up with about 12.

I adore this teacher. Dark witty humor, teases the class, is easy to pick up, extremely clear on what he expects of his students. Easy to learn from, interact with. Be patient, he grades exceptionally hard the first two papers to weed out slackers. Worth sticking it out.

I took a couple of his classes back in '05 before transferring and I must say they were extremely easy. Don't worry about the quizzes, use sparknotes for readings, and talk a lot in class and write well. It also helps to be female, I'm guessing. He's very frat-boyish in his mentality but I respect him as a very knowledgeable and intelligent prof.

in class, he discusses stories in depth. amazing teacher! cracks a lot of jokes! i agree that you can use sparknotes on the essay but its definitely worth it if you pay attention. overall, easy class if you choose to work hard and do the work!!

He kept interest in the stories by use of his dark sense of humor, and grades essays fairly. He grades fairly. There's a lot of moderate amount of reading and somewhere around 6-8 essays, along with an in-class final and 6 page final paper. Even if you're not too into English, he's a good teacher to take.

He has a great personality, at times he can be sarcastic, but funny. He doesnt like excuses, procrastinators, and people who are late. Read the text and study, its college! over all i had a lot of fun in his class & learned a lot.

Best teacher at El Camino! Hilarious and knows his stuff. His lectures keep you interested and entertained. He is fair with the workload and what is expected. Show up for class and put forth a decent amount of effort and you will get an A.

He is a nice teacher, I tought he was gay. He is amazing, and Hot too

If you are a slacker, do not take this class. There are about 7 quizzes, 7 short essays, 1 in-class essay and a final paper to do for this class. The teacher is cool, he kept us entertained the whole time. He's easy to approach and easy to talk to, unlike some teachers.

Intelligent & helpful teacher esp for those who WANT 2 learn. Makes you appreciate the stories & authors a lot more. Total lecture class but makes it very interesting and funny. He is very good looking which helps in paying even more attention in class.

LOVED him. Mini essays every week and scantron quizzes to make sure you read. I learned a lot and he has you read fun stuff. He really knows his stuff and he lectures the whole period. He tries to make it entertaining too. IMO, one of the better English professors at El Camino, next to Reichle.

Great teacher. Seems hard at first, but it gets really easy towards the end because he GRADES ON A CURVE! Just make sure to read the stories and put some effort into the essays. I learned a lot that I can take with me in life. Nice guy, but very blunt. Plus, he was great eye candy. ;)DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!! TY Isaacs!

Best Prof. at El Camino i have encountered so far. Makes class very interesting, you will learn how to appreciate literature. Stories are not boring at all. Took his Eng 1B during the summer it was fast paced. 7 essays, 1 in class essay and a 6 pg final. Plus 7 quizzes. Grades by the curb!

Fantastic teacher! I loved this class. Every class was very, very interesting. He really knows the material and love is so much that you can't help loving it, too. I'm definitely going to take more of his classes, and especially for English majors, I highly recommend his World Lit classes.

assignments

He's actually one of my favorite teacher. At first he seems a bit crazy with his big eyes but really funny. He tries to scare you so his can have a small class but not as hard as I expected.

Somewhat easy. Seems difficult at first. He just talks the whole class and assigns an essay about every 2 weeks. He's pretty funny and everything seems to turn out sexual when he talks about it. There are like 5 girls to 1 guy!

He pretends to be really hard at the beginning to try to get people to drop, but he's actually really helpful on the essays and such. About an essay every two weeks, and a big paper and in-class final due on the last day. The in-class final is the only time you'll use any of the info from his lectures, but they're usually fun, regardless.

Hard class because I ain't good with essays. Talks most of the time after a quiz or due essay. I spent a lot of time sleeping in his class but make sure you do your work.

I took this professor's Eng 1B, as well as his 35 and 36 just because of his unrealistic caliber as an educator. His love for literature is matched by his humor. I highly recommend his classes to anyone who wants a teacher you can easily share a drink with.

You pretty much read 5 stories at a time, write a 2 page paper on one, then spend 4-5 weeks talking about them before reading 5 more. The lectures are fun because he likes to joke around, but he does try to help you understand the stories better. He's super easy on the essays as long as you can make a decent thesis and defend your points.

mean when he has to be. awesome teacher. jokes around, does his job. easy class, if u dont get it make sure to ask him. he is willing to help u out as much as he can.

Likes to talk a lot. Tries to scare students at the start of semester to thin out the herd. Preferential towards females. Very interesting in lecture. DO THE READING! Detailed quiz questions. 1 essay per week. Really difficult final exam. Got A's on all essays and still finished with a B because of the final. I would take his class again.

This super suave guy is passionate about the literature he teaches. He'll try to scare you off at first because he's lazy and doesn't want to grade alot of papers but stick with it, worth it. True, he assigns a paper a week with readings but the paper is easy, he loves interesting and original ideas, and he cuts down reading as the semester goes on

Great teaching methodology and clarity! He (along with other English professors from ElCo) is one of my top ones. Taking his Eng. 35 class and can't wait. He helps a lot; he is generous when curving all quizzes, and as long as you do the reading and the writing, this class should be easy. BE original in your ideas!

Just take him. Amazing man. Very intelligent. Essays are short and too the point. Spend most of your time on your thesis. He'll go over that more. Try to do most of the reading for the quizzes (there's a curve on them), and take notes for a decent # of them for the final in-class essay. I'm taking him again. :)

If you're looking for an easy A, well, you're not gonna get it in this class. Yes, he is very critical of your writing abilities. But let's face facts, if he told you your paper was great and it sucked, he wouldn't be doing you any favors. Always willing to pre-read essays and papers during office hours. A must take for English majors!!!

The class is pretty fun. Issacs is always cracking jokes (some are not as funny as he makes them seem). He's a MLA junkie so if you take is class, come prepared. There's a quiz and an essay due every week. He grades the essays real hard. And the discussions almost never have to do with what we read for the week.

Isaacs was one of the coolest professors I've taken at El camino!He's super hilarious and straight up about everything.There's a 2-page essay due every wk and a small quiz as well. Yes, it's a tough course, but it's definitely worth taking!He focuses mostly on the thesis.The class is pretty long, but Isaacs makes it enjoyable.Oh ya, he's hot!!

Well let me start off by saying if you are easily offended he will offend you, he might offend you even if you aren't easy to offend. Luckily, I am impossible to offend and found him hillarious. Aside from his joking and rambling it is really a tough class, I pulled a B even though it easily could have been an A if I had done more of the reading.

Professor Issacs makes learning fun. He is very helpful and is always energetic. His interaction with students is incredible and I always looked forward to the next class period. Take his class if you want to get an education!

he is AMAZING! i thought english class would be boring, but i was wrong. the class spend with professor isaacs passes so fast. He is just so nice!

AWESOME! He was funny and his techniques are helpful. I learned way more than I ever thought I would.

Hard class but amazing professor! Much reading and weekly essays but you learn A LOT. If you enjoy mind-blowing lectures about history and world literature, then this is the class for you! Warning: Many get turned off by his crude Colbert-like humor but as he says on the first day, "We'll be dealing with very mature subjects in an immature way."

Prof. Isaacs is, hands down, the finest English teacher I've ever taken. He's brilliant and his lectures may be long, but he will teach you why we study literature. Little tolerance for boring, standard freshman comp writing. Be creative. Read closely. By rights, he should be at a prestigious 4-yr University, so count yourself lucky and show up.

Prof Isaacs is a great example of what a teacher should be. He make if fun and he's hilarious with a touch of insanity. I loved him. I took a Academic Strategies class but it was immensely helpful for my English class. Awesome teacher!!!

He is a great professor! He is really funny and he helps you grow a lot as a writer. However, there is an essay and a quiz every weeK. I know many people in that class that had difficulty passing (the quizzes are curved but he is a harsh essay grader). His lectures are long and there is no discussion. Make sure you don't skip any essays!!!

He is an amazing teacher! He really cares about his students and he really does try to make you a better reader. He does give a vocabulary quiz every Monday and reading quiz every Wednesday, but honestly they help you out in the long run. Also, best part is if you finish your quiz early, you may leave the class. :)

While vulgar and funny, Isaacs may be the most knowledgeable professor I've had. He's read and contemplated over boatloads of literature. You'll improve your critical thinking, English, and history knowledge in his World Literature classes. Each week, you'll spend several hours reading and writing a short, persuasive essay on what you've read.

Professor Isaacs has been one of the best professors at El Camino College I have taken. His vocabulary tests are the best because I get to learn words I do not use in my every day vocabulary! It is an easy class if you study and do the homework! Also, his humor is the best!

Professor Isaac is an amazing teacher. He makes sure you understand the subject, and his class is NEVER boring. ( He's hilarious!) If you show up, pay attention, and do your assignments you will pass his class. The students that complained were the one's who missed class frequently, and didn't turn in their work.-- AWESOME TEACHER!

Do yourself a favor and take his class. Not only is he completely knowledgeable about the material, the guy is hilarious. Amazing lecturer that will make sure you're never bored in class. Weekly readings, quizzes, and essays but the stories were very enjoyable and well worth it. I would come back to Elco to take his class again.

He's great! As long as you do the work you will pass his class with no problem!

Man this guy is one of the best English professors I have had. He really knows his stuff and can teach remarkably. Not only that but he has a great sense of humor. Not never a boring class and he knows how to keep his students engaged and really cares about them. Would for sure take again!

i took his enlish 1B course, and enjoyed his style of teaching so much i took his Wolrd Lit courses AND changed my major to english. The man relit my love for literature and critical thinking. I still praise his teaching methods and tough grading policy after 3 years that i graduated from EL Co. I reccomend his course to all future students

Prof. Isaacs is rad. Super smart, well read, funny, & so far from boring - you'll look forward to class. As an Engl. major, some lit. classes are dry b/c required reading list blows. Not Isaacs'. He finds ways to relate the lit. to real world events (old/new) that make it interesting. I learned a lot + he's a good looking mf. So hot. Thx Isaacs!

I love his class.... I would so take it again...

If you are into literature, you will love this class. 3 hour nonstop lecture. If you are not into literature, you will be bored to tears. See above. But he doesn't care if you don't listen and goof off on phone or computer. No need to take notes. Homework is easy. As far as hotness, overstuffed Tony stark with a touch of the gay gene. He's cool.

Professor Isaacs is fantastic and funny! I learned so much from this class, and he provides material on canvas to help you structure an essay. We had reading and grammar quizzes every class. You cannot get an A in this class unless you do well on the quizzes. Good luck!

I liked listening to his lectures they're interesting and it helps to listen when it comes to writing essays. He gives out a lot of info during his lectures so when it comes to writing you can get ideas from his lecures. The quizzes every week were difficult especially the reading comprehension. If you do well on the essays you can get a good grade

He seems interested in your success/engagement. Never gave lectures on time, so there was not timely instruction being given to relate to the weekly essaysfrustrating. He seemed well-intended, but unprepared. I imagine it is hard to be a teacher transitioning to online, though. If you like reading/interpreting lit./writing, you'll likely do well.

If you like to read and interpret, this is your class. There are extensive weekly readings, and weekly essays. If he'd lectured more, it'd have been a more complete class, but his willingness to engage was evident. He knows what he's talking about, and will teach you a lot, so long as you're willing to learn. You'll become a better writer too!

Professor Isaacs is hilarious. He's more of a stickler for grammar than I would have expected, even from an English teacher. The only aspect of his class I found difficult was the amount of reading he assigned. That said, I have poor time management skills, so I was the only person holding myself back.

I loved English 1A with Professor Isaacs so much! This was my third time taking the class and I passed with a B! Although the quizzes are hard, his grading criteria for the essays is clear. I noticed the only people that did not pass the class were the people that did not pay attention to what he looked for in grammar and structure.

Professor Isaacs provided essay feedback early on but ran out of time later. No discussions. Syllabus commentary says that weekly essays are 500 words maximum, but you can actually go over without penalty. Improved my writing! Quiz questions can be specific, so read carefully. Final "exam" is a 500-800 word essay, submitted like all other essays.

Really enjoyed taking his class.

Overall enjoyable class. His quizzes are super-specific and you can pretty much do all of the reading and still miss a question. If you are good at time management and don't care about a lot of feedback then you should be fine. A quiz and short essay every week, and new readings every week, but super easy final, he's funny and enjoys the subject.

Challenging but rewarding class. Lectures may not align with tests, but prof's grading criteria are clear. Use resources like Unstuck AI to prep effectively. Attendance is mandatory but worth it for the valuable lessons.
