I had the opportunity to take two classes with Dr. Magee a few years ago. He has truly been the greatest instructor and mentor during my academic journey. He genuinely cares for his students, and wants you to succeed. He is always clear about assignments, and is willing to help if you need it. Take him if you can. You'll grow so much!

D.B. is an amazing professor! He is funny, honest, and has amazing stories. He made going into class for 3 hours every other day a piece of cake. I highly recommend taking his class. He makes you work for his grade but wow, I loved this class.

D. B. Magee is a fantastic teacher that has had a lasting impression on me. I took his class knowing that he was tough but understanding that he was possibly the best teacher at the school to improve my writing in every way. The papers take a lot of time and effort but in the end, I improved tremendously. Take him, he's tough but it's worth it.

If you are able to choose his class, take him! He is an incredible person and will improve your writing centerfold. He goes back to the basics sometimes which is helpful. He has clear grading criteria which is great for people just starting college. Best professor ever; I will never forget him.

Dr. Magee is a wonderful teacher. He is more than happy to help you with your papers. Do not be afraid to ask for help. Get your work done on time. I took this class while taking two other classes. It is doable ! He likes to tell stories and joke with students. If you can't take a laugh, maybe look for someone else. Very caring and very educated!

Mr. Magee is a great, funny, and caring man. He is very compassionate about his field of work and always encourages his students to strive for the best. DO NOT BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP!!! He is available outside for help and gives opportunities for revisions. Take this class with him and you won't regret it.

Professor Magee is one of those professors that makes you want to do well. He wants you to learn and succeed. He gives the opportunity to revise papers which is the majority of your grade. He also gives many opportunities for extra credit. He is very open and likes to kid around, so if you're sensitive or easily offended, you've been warned!

DB Magee is probably the best English teacher I have ever had. He knows what he's talking about. The class periods flow very nicely & that's all thanks to his outstanding charisma. He does grade you hard, but it's completely necessary for students success in the long run. To this day I still use the advice he'd give me on my papers back. He cares!

He grades a bit tough but he takes his time throughout essays and goes over each essay in great detail of what he is looking for. so just pay attention and follow the work and the essays will write themselves. I personally hate writing essays but in his class I always knew exactly what to write and did not take hours to start an essay.

He is an amazing professor! Such a tough grader but I learned so much! He will show you how to put together an essay from start to finish and go through EVERYTHING. Participation and attendance are required in order to succeed. You will leave a great writer without a doubt. If I had more English classes to take I would choose his.

I have never respected a professor as much as Professor Magee, he is an inspiration and an amazing teacher. I have struggled with writing my whole life but it changed once I took his course. Professor Magee is a tough grader and you do need to attend his class in order to pass BUT he will break down an essay from its root in order for you to learn.
