Mr. Cremins is a GREAT teacher. He's very understanding and extremely clear as well as flexible regarding his assignments. If you cannot turn in apaper, he will most likely give you an extension. All you have to do is show up, read, and do the assignments and a 99% in his class can be earned just like that. He's INCREDIBLY nice and not judgemental.

He is definitely a character!! If you love comic books and KISS he is the teacher who talks about his crazy 80's rock n roll Nerd bomber stories. He is a fair grader if u have good grammar then you basically can write about anything you want. His 101 class is so simple and fun take it!!!

The most helpfull teacher I ever met. His assignments are writting papers like 4-5 in a semester but that is what you are supposed to do in Eng 102. He will make sure you understand what to do. Loves students asking him for extra help if needed. He even helped edit my Sociology paper. The nicest guy on campus.

Cremins is by far the best professor I've ever taken at Harper. Especially outside of class, Cremins was understanding, and an absolute stand up guy. His readings were newer and supporting of local writers which was really awesome. Essays too, open ended, yet personal. If there's ever an opening, take Cremins. He's genuine, and the best prof. ever!
