Hilarious, enthusiastic and willing to help... makes you want to write!!!
Mr Magee is so awesome! He is funny, nice and very helpful!
one of the best teachers in fullerton!!!!
I've never had anyone help me so much. He expects a lot, but it's not unreasonable. He gives plenty of chances to revise papers and is great in class!
Great teacher! Fun in class, very helpful, allows rewrites. . .cares about his students.
he is my favorite teacher of all time, he has helped me in so many ways. He is understanding,empathtic to his students and always willing to help you in all his ways.
If you want to learn about writing, this is the teacher you must take. Not only does he make the learning process very fun, but you will learn all the skills you need for writing. I have never seen a teacher with so much passion to teach.
He is the only teacher that I've had at FC that took the time to get to know me, not just me but everybody, makes a difference. I'll miss him!
What a wonderful teacher! My semester would have been miserable without that class. He made it so fun and enjoyable, I didn't even know I was learning something. The work load he gave us was not demanding, just enough. I give his class an A++
I've had four English classes at FJC and by far he is the best teacher. He actually teaches things we should know like grammar and works cited and MLA. Plus, he makes it fun and low pressure as he can. Very fair and flexible and really cares bout his students.
He is AWSOME!! hands down AWSOME!! really da best teacher I have had at fullerton. He really teaches usful material and is cool on late work. Make room in your schedule for Dr. MAGEE!!!!!
he's hilarious. really lightens up english, but he's really knows the material and you get a lot done without it being boring or tedious. he'll tell you great stories and make you laugh. really cares about you as an individual and a fair grader (more on the easy side)
If you cant pass this class go back to high school. I SUCK at english. I got a 78%. You have a medium amount of home work that is very easy (you grade your self honor system). Is a pain in the ass about grammar, but all english teachers are. Your learn a lot and its easy. Funny guy too.
A very entertaining prof but far from fair. I wrote a detailed, well researched paper on gender roles and "Rebel w/out a Cause" (shown in class). I recieved a c- on the paper. The only thing written many times on my paper was, "I do not agree." Without making unfair assumptions, i didn't understand. My UCLA profs love my papers now, go figure.
he makes funnier jokes then most teachers
that guys ****in cool
Hes chill take him if you can.
He is really kick back adn he wants his students to succeed and he makes sure of it. He is fun to have as a teacher and if u are kewl with him then he will be kewl with u.
Great teacher. Offers lots of help to you if you need it.
Dr. Magee is the best English teacher I ever had for the 20 years that I have live in America. He care and want his to students to learn. He very a funny teacher as hell; I mean he hilarious, LOL:). If you show him that you want to learn he will definetly help you. Trust me, he the best of the best; what more can I says? James Bond
HE IS A GOOD TEACHER AND HE REALLY HELPS OUT THE STUDENTS!! HE REALLY CARES ABOUT HIS STUDENTS!! I DON'T KNOW MANY PROFESSORS THAT MAKE ENGLISH REALLY ESAY LIKE HIM!! HE IS SO EASY AND VERY FUNNY LIKE (LOL)!! HE GIVES YOU MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO DO EXTRA CREDIT!!!!!!!! HIS ESSAY ARE NOT THAT HARD AND THAT IS WHAT MAKES IT EASY!!
He is a very good teacher. He really likes his job and takes it seriously. He sets you up for success, and grades fairly. Plus, he really tries to make it interesting; he's really funny:)
please take this class. if you are looking for an english teacher that is easy take him. he is laid back about most of the stuff just dont get him complaining. there are essays but he gives you easy assignments to make points.
MR.MAGEE IS THE BEST TEACHER EVER! HE IS EXTREMLEY HILARIOUS...YOU'LL LAUGH YOUR ASS OFF IN THIS CLASS!
He is the best teacher you can take for english
He is the best. Class is definitely entertaining. Wasn't too satisfied with my essay grades, but that was my own fault. He offered me the tools to improve, it was up to me after that. Take him if you can...he will work with you.
I highly suggest you to take this teacher if you can. He is a wonderful person who goes out of his way to make sure you get what he is teaching and always there when you need his help. He is also very funny, outgoing, and really does make class as fun as possible. I will be taking him again for English 100, thats how much I enjoyed his class.
He is funny so you will not be bored and a good teacher . I actually learned something.
Wow!! awsome teacher!! I took this teacher because of his ratings and it did him justice. Extremely helpfull, very clear on assignments. Shows how to make all essays great. Lets you redo all essays for a higher grade. Very funny. Trust me, you are gonna love this guy! You'll never fall asleep in this class. He'll show easy ways to essay writing.
FUNNY TEACHER!! CLASS IS NEVER BORING! ALWAYS HAS THE CLASS LAUGHING WITH HIS CRAZY STORIES. GIVES 8 ESSAYS DURING THE SEMESTER, GIVES YOU ABOUT 2 WEEKS TO WRITE THEM AND LETS YOU REWRITE THEM TO MAKE YOUR GRADE A WHOLE LOT BETTER!! TOTALLY RECOMEND ANYONE TO TAKE HIM. VERY HELPFUL, CAN ALWAYS MEET WITH HIM OR E-MAIL. TAKE THIS GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!
I took him in spring 06. He was a great instructor. There are only five essays and he lets you revise each one after the final copy is do. He is easy going, gives everyone a chance and he is funny. If it wasnÂ’t for him rounding my grade, I wouldnÂ’t have passed. He is the only instructor I know that will give you a few extra points to pass.
He's the best teacher i've taken so far he is funny and he knows what he teaches. I really recomend this teacher you won't regret taking him
Mr Magee is helpful. he is not easy though, anyway the class is fun. rarely use textbook (he'll show you the way to save money for textbook!!!). I took him in Spring, but there were so many essays that it seemed not enough time to write. work hard, but not easy to get an A. he is a fair grader ( grade on your essays, not you work). Recommend him!!!
Mr. Magee's Class is the far Best class I have ever taken. He is really funny and really helpful. There is a lot of work but its worth doing. Trust me this is one class you WANT TO TAKE!!!
He is so freaking fun and loud! (Love that Southern accent) He makes every assignment plain and simple and gives you X-tra time to make up any assignments. Just don't mention the words "gym and Cambodia" lol
BEST teacher EVER! Take him. He makes the subject fun and interesting. Be prepared to write but he makes it as easy as possible. Theres a personal, informational, Rebel Without a Cause, argument, and evaluation paper. All pretty fun to write. Some light reading and grammar practice. He's laid back and really really funny. Best teacher i've had here
Magee is really an awesome professor. I really hate writing period but he lets you choose yer own topic for majority of papers. 5 papers plus the final but they arent that long about 3-6 pages max. Makes it very easy and simple. Very easy to talk to an ask questions. Only paper that sucks is the Rebel analysis paper. Otherwise a GREAT professor A+
Awesome sense of humor, hard working &cares about his students.Allows u to revise 4/5 essays he assigns, & goes above & beyond in helping u. He expects quite a bit, but he is very clear, organised &keeps the class entertained. He gets annoyed w/ excessive tardies & absences, nice guy but don't annoy him.... keep in touch if u're going 2miss class
Dr. Magee is one of the best English instructors I've ever had. He is very helpful and clear about his expectations of the class. I'm currently attending the summer session as his student, and I am learning so much. He's a very intelligent, but yet so hilarious!! You will enjoy this class. Highly recommend this instructor.
mr. magee is one of my favorite teachers ever!!! he really knows alot about english! i learned alot of proper grammar from him :) the essays are a bit hard but he lets you revise em. he is sooooooo funny! but very nice also. i will always think of him whenever i hear "crackpipe" lol take him you will really imrove your writing!!
Magee is hand down the BEST FJC teacher ever! He does have a lot of work, but if you keep up with him, it isnt that bad. He is very funny, so it makes the time pass by TOO quickly. Im disappointed that i am done with my english courses, i would LOVE to take his classes again. Everyone should have the pleasure to be taught by him.
not good
Mr. Magee was the best teacher i have ever had. you do have to write essays and work hard but its worth it. he is hillarious and makes everyone laugh. this class was so much fun! i really enjoyed him as a teacher and would definitally take him again!!
i â?¥ his class sooooo much!! Mr. Magee is super chill and fun!! he makes everyone laugh and have a good time!! his accent is awesome 2! he is the best professor i have ever had!!
He is a great great prof. the class is tough, but he is extremely helpful. If you want to improve your writing, he is the best choice. He gives you tons of comments on your papers so you just follow and revise them for better grades. he's hilarious so you will look forward to his class.
Great teacher! He is really helpful. I honestly dont think you will find a better teacher than him! If you cant get a B or better than you either didnt go to class at all!! He is very understanding. I also took him for Engl 59 and Engl 100. BEST TEACHER EVER!!
he is so helpful when u need his help. always willing to do a one-on-one when needed. you can always count on him for assistant. i recommend him for this class. he makes it excited at all times. u will never fall asleep in his class.
He's a great professor. He's a real funny guy and loves to joke around. He gives a solid amount of essays, but can and will walk you through the entire way to help better the end grade. I just entered college for my first semester, and am happy to say that i enrolled in his class.
It was my first year here and i highly recommend him. He is funny and is very helpful in anything you need. He makes you laugh and you can coun on him when you need help in anything you do not understand. its an easy class if you pay attention. not difficult at all. essays are quite interesting.
I love this guy! Great instructor; however, he will assign plenty of work (2 in class and 4 out of class essays). He will have you read a book and answer questions. Show up and have a good attitude and you will do fine. He will bend-over backwards to help his students out. He is funny. If you truly want to learn he is the guy for you.
Dr. Magee, is great! he helped me with all my essays,He will respond to your e-mail quick, and will also be respectful when you just don't get it.His class is enjoying while learning. i recommend it to anyone in a heart beat.Thanks, Dr. Magee for helping out! Lagunas
I loved Magee's class. I wish I could take another class with him. He is very nice and helpful. He enjoys teaching. You'll laugh a lot. Take him if you are an ESL student.
Dr. Magee is awesome! maybe it was just me but I seriously thought he was hilarious! He always has funny things to say. Its not all fun and games though cause he does assign a good amount of work. He's always very helpful and you should do just fine if you try! Definitely recommend this guy :)
Best professor in Fullerton hands down !
AMAZING teacher. always willing to help and he goes off track a lot to tell random stories that keep you awake! take him!!! :)
Great teacher! Super funny and helpful. Lots of reading and the papers take time and work but he will help you and guide you if you ask for it. Don't be a baby if he jokes around with you. Participate in the discussion and have fun!
Dr. Magee is a really awesome professor! He is super helpful if you need/ask for the help. He is also really funny! He wants his students to succeed and gives them a lot of suggestions and opportunities. I also took his English 100 last spring and he was just as helpful!
Great teacher, he is extremely helpful and gives you many opportunity's to raise your grade. He has sense of humor and keeps you entertained most of the time. I had him for English 100 and i learned a lot from his teaching and grading.
Dr. Magee is awesome! If you show up to class and actually make an effort on your papers there is no reason why you shouldn't pass with flying colors. He always makes himself available to help and goes everyone multiple opportunities to improve their grades by revising their essays for better grades. Class is enjoyable and his humor and stories make the semester bearable.
On the first day I didn't realize I was late, but he still let me in anyway. He's a really nice guy and a pretty funny guy too. We only had about 3 major essays and read a book as a class. He's really understanding too. There was a minor book everyone needed and he let us use it and pay him back when ever(By the end of the semester) Take him!!!! :D
I took Eng100&221 with Magee and I have to say I wish there was another class he taught that I could take. He is an amazing teacher and SOOOOO hilarious. Can't even emphasize it enough. Eng221 was a bit harder but he makes the material memorable by..his magic teaching skills lol but seriously TAKE HIM! For ANY english class. Ily Magee!
First off, he is HILARIOUS! Second, he is such a great teacher! I remember thinking in class, "we need teachers like this back in my old high school." He explains how to write college level essays very well! You will not regret taking him!
FUNNIEST TEACHER EVER!! NEVER REALLY ENJOYED WRITING UNTIL I HAD HIS CLASS. HE MAKES ENGLISH FUN! TAKE HIM YOU WON'T REGRET IT!
Magee is a very helpful teacher and really funny. He cares about his students and is willing to help any of his students who show up and put effort.
he is a really good teacher. he cares about the student and wants you to pass. if u ask for help he will help u as much as possible. he is very funny and class is interesting. u should TAKE HIM,
GREAT professor. Very informative and passionate, but very good discussions and explanations. My only problem was his "packet" of just busy work that was VERY hard to keep track of and pointless. Made every single class so enjoyable I didn't want to miss a single day. I recommend him to EVERYONE--if you take an English class, take Magee!
Mr. Magee was a very good professor. His classes were interesting and funny, but his jokes got old sometimes. He actually takes the time to grade your work, which makes him a great teacher. We did do about 15 rough drafts and essays, but it's worth it for a good education. Also, he is strict with tardies and absences, so go to class on time!
Doctor Magee is the best english teacher I have ever had. He is approachable, he answers your questions clearly, he is hilarious in class, and he includes the entire class in his lectures. There are many group activities and many essay proof reads that really help to expand your ability to see errors and learn how to fix them. Prepares for Eng 103
GREAT teacher! knows what hes doing and takes time to help you out. very funny and the best teacher I took this semester! TAKE HIM ! i will take him again in eng100 if I can ! As long as you do the work (not much) you fine. Only about 4 in class essays and he help you a lot with the drafts
HE IS SO FUNNY!!! BEST TEACHER EVER
Dr.Magee is an excellent professor!I walked into his class not knowing how to write an essay-now I'm a graduate student, thanks to Dr.Magee! Take him if you are serious about learning how write!
Awesome teacher!!!! So funny and helpful! Best English professor I taken my whole life!
Professor Magee is THE BEST teacher I have had at FCC. He walks you step by step on how to write papers. Before this class I had little understanding on how to write college level essays, but with his help I excelled and received an A.
Dr. Magee without a doubt is the best professor i have encountered at Fullerton College. He has a great attitude towards helping his students not only pass the course but progress within their writing. With all honesty, if you really want to improve and learn, you should take a class with Dr. Magee. Lastly, Dr. Magee's class is fun and interesting.
Dr. Magee honestly cares about you. He's very funny, best English teacher I have ever had. He gives great feedbacks on your essays and you can redo them for a higher grade! This class does require you to participate. Overall, he's an excellent teacher!!!
Dr. Magee was an amazing teacher to have for English 100! He is hilarious, and the material is very understand with him! We had three major papers that made up most of our grade, but with his help, they weren't stressful at all! He is very helpful, and very willing to work with you! He does drop if you miss class, our class got pretty small!
He is the best english teacher on campus. His willing to help you if you need it. And if your struggling his willing to help you make your grade go up. He has taught me a lot in english. I took him for english 59 and 100 and if i could I would take him again. He is really funny, he makes all his lessons fun so you want to be there and actual learn.
If you are a DSS student, I highly recommend taking him during a regular semester. I took him this past Summer 2015 term, and I felt that I could've learned more during a regular semester with ease. Take him if you don't have many plans during the summer. Overall, he's a great professor and funny!
This is a good class to learn new things. It is definitely not an easy class but if you have questions he is always there to help. Magee is definitely passionate about English and he has great stories. There are 3 major and they're kind of tough. You will definitely read a great deal ( it's a literature class) and analyze EVERYTHING. Recommend!
This review is a bit overdue since I took him back in Fall 2014. But HANDS DOWN, STILL MY FAVORITE PROFESSOR OF ALL TIME. He was not only hilarious, he made my love for writing grow even fonder. He's not an easy A, but by the end of the semester nobody will ever regret taking him. TAKE HIM. YOU WILL THANK ME LATER. SUCH AN OUTSTANDING PROFESSOR.
Dr. Magee is one of the best English teacher ever. he really funny and give good feedback on you essay and top of that he really nice and funny. He always there for you when you need help on your essay. I would take him again!
I HATE English, but I love Dr. Magee! He gives awesome feed back and lets you revise all your essays! Expect a lot of HW, but overall an awesome class and amazing instructor!
He is a very funny teacher, his stories are very entertaining and he gives helpful feedback on all his papers. He rarely gives any homework, and you must buy his class work book which he sells very cheap. He will work with you to make sure you pass, he will memorize your name and sometimes make you participate in class. I highly recommend him.
best teacher !! helped me a lot ! gives excellent feedback and the lectures are interesting .. took him in summer. was too much of hardwork but worth it !! take him for sure
I took this class before last semester but I dropped it because the professor was not a that good. I Just felt wasting time and was not helpful. However D.R magge help me a lot and he went step by stepwith me. Great teacher ,Funny, GUYS TAKE HIM In This coures.. #thebest
He's a nice chill teacher. Although there were papers and test to do done, he made English fun and entertaining. I would take him again.
BEST PROFESSOR I have taken at Fullerton College. Take him if you have the chance you won't regret it. He is very funny and makes you enjoy his class. Is always willing to help if you're struggling. Also, gives excellent feedback! Do not think about this twice and take him!!!!
A friend of mine recommended Dr. Magee to me and I am so glad that I did take him. One of the best professors I have had so far. He's very prompt with answering emails and he wants to help you
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.
This is literally the best teacher ever super funny you wont regret taking him. grades tough but gives good feedback and many attempts to revise essays so you wont have any trouble if you actually put like 1/4th of all your effort in.
Incredible old school teacher! Dr Magee is hilarious and very passionate about his work. he grades very very hard but he is willing to help revise and he does workshops throughout the semester. you have to put 110% effort in his class and you'll pass. tough teacher but you won't regret taking him!
when I was struggling he helped at office hours. Magee let us revise on our essay. he is a funny instructor but what I don't like about this class is that he does not use canvas.
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.
