Brent was a great teacher and always willing to help.

Brent was a great professor who was very helpful. I enjoyed the class because he lets us put our creativity to use. It wasn;t an easy class but he made me want to do the work.

Really awesome professor. There was a lot of work in the class, but he made the assignments fun and I was always excited to read his comments on my papers.

He is a very good professor. I learned alot from him. I believe he said he use to be a Lawyer, which is what I plan on becoming eventually. He gives tests every week, but if you study your book and do the exercises you should do well on the tests. I highly recommend him for Eng 101.

Brent is a very good teacher, his points about a specific subject are easy enough for a child to understand, yet he is somewhat chalanging at times. Passing 092 with a B gave me the confidince I need to go through the BCC Running Start program.

He was pretty tyte. Before every test he'd go over what would be on it and it would be open book. He does have a loose teaching style but you can still learn a lot.

Great teacher and really nice guy. He expects you to be prepared and as long as you try you should do well. He can be a little tuff on the grading but overall his tests are easy. He seems to have the conception that the class is ment to improve your writing not make you foolish for trying.

Very easy, he takes time to get to know you and is very helpful. Took an online class with him.

Pretty easy class, not much is expected of you except grammar concepts but they actually really help! Lots of group stuff!

His class was very easy, I'm not sure why people said it was hard to get an A. Only take it if you already know how to write and only need English 101 as a prerequisite, however. Don't expect to actually learn how to write in his class. He's a nice guy and he doesn't give too much work. I'd recommend his class to those already good at English.

Brent is a very nice man, but his class was on the edge of being ridiculously stupid. I felt like I was in 6th grade again. The work was way too easy, so you don't have any reason to fail! Nice man though.

I love this professor. He was easy to talk to, and made the class fun. Tests were easy, as well as the weekly assignments. Two group projects that were a blast. I highly recommend him

Nice man, but the class was WAY to easy! I felt like I was in elementary school again...embarrassing really! There is essentially nothing to do in that class; take it if you don't know the English language well.

I loved him. The class discussions got really deep sometimes, it was more than just learning English, it dove into philosophy as well. I thought he had a really good grasp on what he was teaching.

Todd is a good teacher. i actually learned something in his class. after attending his class i can actually write in a coherent fashion. i would recommend his class to anyone who has trouble with writing.

Todd is a great teacher. he is a bit difficult but you will actually lean something so suck it up cause you will likely get a good grade if you do all the work.

I really enjoyed this class. If you do the handouts, which he gives you all the answers to, you will ACE all the grammar tests. You occasionaly write a short essay and they are about EXTREMLY general topics. I would reccommmend him to anyone who has the work ethic of a worm and is only slightly smart. ITS EASY!!!!!!

This class was a mistake to take in the morning. I was always struggling to stay awake because we spent a large amount of class time going over grammar. I'd say most of what we went over was TEDIOUS review. Most of the papers were short and sweet. His SEP tests were the closest thing to the experience I wanted, but we hardly talked about them.

The only real problem about the class was waking up early in the morning since it was at 6:30. I learned alot and really enjoyed the class. I thought the grammer was very useful. One of the first English classes i actually enjoyed. I recommend this class to anyone that can show up every day and put in some effort to learn.

Challenging class but learned a lot

If you expect to learn a lot on how to write a good paper, you may be a bit disappointed. Brent expects you to study hard by your own and come to class to show your knowledge. His syllabus & calendar are well organized. You know beforehand what you will learn from each class. He's very nice guy & willing to talk to you after class. Lots of readings

i loved mr. todd!

Nice guy, grammar tests were easy. Short essays weren't hard. Remember to bring the required materials to class.

This is the hiker/climber teacher. He is nice but he is a hard grader. If you want an A, you better go to class (you get three absences not counted against you, but if you get more than 3 it takes away a tenth of your participation grade)! There's a lot of stories and essays you have to read, make sure you do because he will dismiss you if not.

You don't have to buy a textbook. He posts everything you need on the course website. 6 Grammar tests are esay. Essays are harder. He doesn't care about how many words you write, but he foucs on your ideas in your essays. He care about your attendance. If you are late more than three times, he will talk to you after class. Overall,he is a nice guy.

Quite an interesting teacher. I thought we'd actually need the textbooks, but he posts all the readings and assignment handouts on his website (you'll use a LOT of paper printing all these out, though, so use the computer lab for this). Grammar tests were easy, and essays were moderately easy. You also get 2-3 group projects, but no final exam. :)

Forgot on my last review... Make SURE you do the reading. He really expects his students to do it, and the SEP (Stories/Essays/Poems) tests actually require you to have read the material to give a good answer. He has a long list of readings, making it hard to predict which of them he's going to test you on.

He is crystal clear about expectations, provides a lot of feedback, and genuinely cares for his students' success. He initially appears easy-going, but he expects initiative.

He gives out test every week and the first week in February you have 1 test on Monday, essay due on Tuesday, start an essay on Tuesday, Friday you have a mid-term over everything covered along with a essay due. His short answer essay questions are analyzing poems and if you don't think as him or draw the same conclusion you will not get a A.

Very good!!!!!!

Interesting teacher, fun to listen to his stories. I found alot of insight and knowledge to be gained through his class but be prepared to study. His tests are no joke and I think he grades a little tough on the essays. Also a little too quiet to pay attention to at 0630.

Todd's a good prof. He's tough as hell, be prepared to read more than you ever have. But, he'll teach you a lot of cool stuff, not just about English. His stories are funny, humor is dry but ultimately if you're there with a good attitude and try, he'll make sure you get a good grade.

He's really funny and so interesting. However, he can be a bit mean sometimes and can be a little harsh. don't expect him to give you much help, but listen to what he has to say and take notes.

The class is really good, but requires a lot of work. There is too much class work and SEP readings which you need to make sure to keep up with. At some times class can get boring, but he makes sure to add a little fun here and there. You'll get a lot out of this class though.

This class is not easy if you can not stay organized and have trouble doing homework before coming to class. He likes to call students out for not having read or not knowing answers. He can also be very moody and sometimes comes off rude to the class. Only take if you are decent and willing to work at english.

He is one of the beast teacher I had. He is a responsible teacher who can help student very well. I loved to be in his class and learn more from his strong teaching experience and skills. I highly recommend you to take his class. I am sure if you do so, you would not be sorry. He is # one.

He's a good guy, and his teaching is not difficult to understand. But a lot of reading and not a whole lot of usage of it. Grading wise, he's pretty loose. Teaching, he's alright. Doing the homework is sporadic, and if you hate grammar, do not take him. Textbooks are not necessary, but the grammar book comes helpful on quizzes. Most are open note.

He is a really funny and nice guy. He teaches a lot of bare bones grammar which is pretty easy. test every week but their almost all open note. there is a lot of reading but its all short and some of the time you can get away without reading it if you're really lazy. my only complaint is that he doesn't give enough feedback on essays.

Despite all that is said on the first day, it is possible to get away without having the books or printing everything. Then again, I took AP Lang/Comp last year. I would say most in my class did not struggle but they applied themselves. There is a lot of reading but to write well you must read well and read all that you can.

Good teacher. Very orginized. Everything is online from the start of class. The LWP text book along with the Grammer one is not really needed. Tests were the only thing I struggled with. TAKE GOOD NOTES and you'll do fine.

Very clear on deadlines. Curriculum isn't very difficult if you paid any attention in sophomore English. Doesn't play "favorites" but he definitely likes students who at least look like they're paying attention. Take notes!! He'll think you're great :D Ask him questions, too, he likes curious students.

He is a very precise, clear teacher. Attendance is a must since he puts it into your grade. He is funny, but strict. Class is not too hard.

Take notes and pay attention in class. If you hates grammar, don't take his class. But if you're good at grammar, just take his class. Attendance is mandatory so don't skip class.

I had to take Ewan Magie class to get that B.T. was the best teacher. He organized, so you will know the whole schedule and hw right in the beginning. Interesting readings, grammar quizzes, some writing and class participation that's all what you'll have. He hates when smd is late or didn't read the material. it's not obvious, but he's really kind.

About the most straight forward teacher possible. Makes you work hard, but if you work, it will pay off. Thinks a lot of himself, but definitely wants students to succeed. If you're willing to put in a lot of work and learn a lot, take him.

As long as you do your homework and take lots of notes, you shouldn't have a hard time. Make sure to work really hard on assignments and read all handouts carefully

Admittedly, Eng101 isn't the most exciting subject, but thanks to Brent I really enjoyed it. He has clear, fair and thoughtful expectations of his students, which have clearly been mistaken here by those who failed to put in the effort. If you are a committed student and would like to become a truly effective and confident writer, TAKE THIS CLASS.

Mr. Todd is fair-minded and clear. It is easy to pass his class, but it is very hard to get an A. It is possible to get A if your do your beeessstt and invest a lot of time.

Mr Todd is a great professor. He gives lots of assignments and homeworks,however, do not give up.make sure you come to class and take notes (very important)!!I liked his class because he gave us a variety of grammar, poertry, essay and short stories! its a lot of work but it is not hard at all!!

Class is very organized. Everything is layed out at the begining of the quarter. I am not good at English but got a good grade. Does take a lot of time. A lot of readings and tests but they are usually open book and easy. Hard grader on essays. Gives extra credit. It is hard to stay awake, but thats also bevause it is at 7:30 am.
