Best english Professor I have ever had. Very laid back I actually feel like a better writer after taking this class.
Dr. Corbin is really cool! He understands that students are people & is really lenient with essay submission deadlines. He also gives you the chance to rewrite 1 essay for a chance at a better grade for extra credit.
Very nice
Very funny and takes time to help his students. Lenient
Professor Corbin is very nice and he actually cares about his students. He doesn't give overwhelming amounts of work. However, if you're absent a lot, you probably won't pass.
He is very nice and cool. I recommend taking him, easy A.
He real one he from the bay like me and he real cool I recommend him
He is just an amazing character.
Very nice proffesor. Very experienced and effective. Takes your feedback into account.
He's alright.
Dr. Corbin is one of the best instructors I've had. He honestly cares for his students and doesn't fail students if they don't deserve it. He doesn't just instruct lessons, he teaches them and makes sure you learn and understand them. He tries to make lessons fair for everyone to learn, complete, and turn in.
It's a great class. As long as you do the work required, it's hard not to pass. Criteria needed are usually laid out by him, so you should know what to do. The feedback he gives are super helpful since I am a weak writer myself. He also does these cool article of the day. Glad I took the class. :)
Professor Bryan Corbin is the best English instructor I've ever taken. If you need to take an English class take form this professor and you will get an awesome grade while having a good time. He is very respectful and will always give you feedback or help you with anything you need.
Good natured guy who's always willing to make class fun. Doesn't listen to rap. Or read fiction. But other than that really nice and cool & the class is pretty easy!
I would take his class again!
I would recommend this professor to anyone taking an English course at San Jac. He always works with students as much as he can. He is always willing to help and look over essays in order to fix errors. I took both his fall term and spring term for English I and II. I would take his class again!
I took Professor Corbin for a three week winter mini. Hes very caring, and makes sure that students are involved during class activities. Theres four papers due, and he gives feedback after each rough draft, and again after its been graded. If you put in the effort and consider his feedback, its an easy A!
Best English professor! I highly recommend! Explains assignments throughly to make sure you understand.
I took his 8-week online during the Spring. There was 5 essays, 1-2 discussion boards a week to review one of your peers essay. One of the Essays was actually a literacy project where you get to make 3 worksheets for an ESL learner in place of an essay. Professor Corbin made the class easy and enjoyable, I highly recommend him!
This was my first professor and my first online course. I could not have been more pleased. He was polite, professional and understandable. Directions are clear, but in the event of confusion, he is very quick to respond to emails or meetings. He met me during his lunch break, well outside conference times. TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!
Easy pass, great professor, gives you a chance to pass but you have to put in the work within the process. Would take again
Great teacher and is lenient on turn in dates.
He cares very much about whether you pass or fail and is a very sweet guy overall.
This is my second year having him as a professor. Hands down the best! I've learned to write in this class more than I have before. If you're worried about your writing skills, don't. He'll help you fine tune your essays and be available when you need it. Had 4 essays as major grades and occasional classwork.
Dr Corbin was an amazing professor. Both semesters I had his class and it went by easily. His grading is clear and if you give a rough draft for any essay he will tell you exactly what you need to correct. Class work it very easy to complete. Overall Dr Corbin was energetic and got straight to the point of every assignment. I highly recommend.
Great professor.
He's a good professor. If you do all the essays assigned and come to class you will not have any trouble in passing his class. He gives you good feedback on your essays and he is willing to stay after class in order to help you out.
Very cool professor! Had him for 2 semesters!! Very lenient with work. His essays are easy. He can help you with anything you need. I've learned to become a better writer because of him. Thank you, professor Corbin!!
Professor Corbin is good at what he does. He has a good understanding of what he teaches and is fair when grading. The workload inst overwhelming, its manageable and there is enough time given to complete each assignment. I enjoyed the class and would take it again.
We had 4 major essays to do throughout the semester. They tended to be about 4-5 pages long. He would let the class edit each other's essays so we could have good feedback. In the end, he would also review our rough drafts and provide feedback. We were able to turn in late essays and have no points deducted! We also had a chance to get extra credit
Professor Corbin was an amazing English Instructor. He made writing papers fun. I loved his style on teaching. He is very funny. I would recommend you to take him hes a great teacher. Would definitely take him again.
He loves what teaches. You have four major essays to write. He is a good grader. He also gives great feedback on essays before you turn them in if you bring a hard copy. He lets students also give feedback which helps out. He is so funny you will not have a boring class. Go to class he gives a many in class assignments that. i would take him again.
This has been my first semester of college, and taking this class definitely helped ease my mind. He is always quick to respond to emails and quick with a joke as well. His humor makes the class feel alive and welcoming. As long as you do your best and pay attention to instruction, you do very well in class.
Professor Corbin is a great instructor! I left this English 1302 class to the very end because I thought it was going to be hard, but Corbin made it easy to understand and actually complete the work. He is highly recommended by me. You will enjoy being in his class either on campus or online.
I took this class online and it was fairly simple. The discussions boards are mandatory and weekly. As long as you do your best then you should pass. At the end of the semester there was a computer error where my final essay did not go through, however, he graciously helped me to fix the problem! :)
Hes awesome!!!!!!!!
Professor Corbin is truly a great professor! He constantly reminds his students that he is here to help, and not to make your life harder! He posts all of the important dates for the semester and uploads helpful videos to Blackboard. Definitely my favorite professor!
If you want a professor that is really clear about his lectures than i really recommend this teacher. when it comes to your essays he gives you really good feedback and he even gives you help by watching a you tube video if you did something incorrectly. He is a really fun teacher would gladly take him again.
I took his summer class, which was not too bad. He's good at making the class interesting and still teaches you what you need to know. Definitely would take again.
Bryan is a great online teacher. As usual, everything was scheduled out ahead of time. You have to be really responsible and self disciplined when taking online classes. Everything is there for you, so get on black board every day and do a discussion board once a day. Do not wait till the last minute. He's very helpful!!
Professor Corbin was a delightful instructor. He is nice, caring, and a quick responder to emails. The assignments were meaningful and interesting which made writing the essays easier. Make sure to do what is asked and you will easily get through this course.
Dr. Corbin is the best. His class is very easy. I took his class during the summer. He gives you time to write your essays in class. He is a very hands on teacher. He responds to emails at any time of the day. I really recommend this class. If you can take comp 1 with him!!!!!!
Doc. Corbin was one of the best English professors. I've never enjoyed an English class so much. He seriously is willing to help you. Just go to class and he will help you and your needs. TAKE HIM!
He loves his work
I really enjoyed my online class with Dr. Corbin. Dr. Corbin is very passionate about teaching. And he cares about his students. He made English 1301 very easy. He explains every assignment well enough so you can understand it. To make a passing grade. I definitely recommend taking him. You will not regret.
Dr. Corbin is by far the best English professor ever. I took his course online this summer. His class was the first online class I have taken so I was a bit nervous about it from the beginning. If you have any questions he is very accessible through email as well. Follow the syllabus, show up to class, work hard & I promise you will do just fine.
Best professor Ive ever had if I could take his class again, I would. I dont know how he doesnt have a 5.0
Took him in the summer and it was great! Cant wait to take ENGL1302 with him!
easy class. he is cool
His made English class fun and easy to learn. I enjoyed his class. He usually starts with a short presentation and lets you work on short term and long term assignments in class. I never had homework except when I edit essays. He gives really good feedback and makes you a better writer.
He did a great job of teaching and helping me out when I needed it, a great guy!
He was a great professor and always responded to my emails. I took him for online and I am so happy I did!!
If you are even thinking about taking this professor for Online class please do not even try. Even if you follow his instructions and fix whatever he said is wrong in your essay he still give a bad grade. He gave us 4 essays and one reflection. in those four essays I literally got nothing but C's and one B. Just a very critical grader.
Just finished his winter mini:) Truly wants each student to pass his class. He will let you show him your essay before turn in date and he gives you good feedback on your mistakes. Follow his directions EXACTLY for each essay and you will get an A:) Awesome English teacher!
If u come daily and complete in class activities, complete all 4 essays with correct formatting and grammar before deadline, that's an easy A for u. He also provide opportunity to rewrite one of the essay for extra credit which is absolutely helpful for overall grade.
Took his Technical Business writing class he is so undetailed in his 4 projects that we did in class. The instructions were on the syllabus but they were very broad and don't tell you what he is looking for. I have gotten a C in a project even for following the syllabus instructions step by step.
Dr. Corbin is a very caring professor, he is more than willing to help anybody who asks. When you ask for feedback he is very detailed and explains how to go about fixing any errors. It is an easy A if you put the work into the essay topics given. Show up to class daily to participate in the discussion boards for easy points.
Dr. Corbin is awesome! He truly cares about his students' success and is always available. He responds to emails very quickly. He is a wonderful professor, but you will have to put in the effort. Take him!! I wish I could take him for Comp II.
Corbin is great! He doesn't give a lot of work, and his class doesn't drag along. He cares about his students and is also kind and organized. If you are looking for a stress-free, easier class for Comp 1 while also learning grammar and format rules for the future, Corbin is the best professor to go to.
I took his course for a summer session, and he was one of the least stressful professors I've had. Follow his directions, meet deadlines, and correct your mistakes he notes on rough drafts. Class was painless to get through, and time passed by fast. You will also interact with your peers, making it a comfortable environment to come to everyday.
This professor is terrible, giving the most vague of directions if even, grades exceptionally hard on every essay but preaches not to worry because hes dropping the lowest essay related grade, has No concern for student success in his class. His assignments start Sunday nights and end sometime during the week Wednesday or Thursday. Heed my warning
Dr. Corbin was a fantastic professor, and I am glad I took his class. He genuinely cared about each students success, and the expectations for the class were clear. Additionally, he did not hesitate to write letters of recommendation or respond to late night emails. I encourage everyone to take this professor, for my experience was phenomenal.
I took Dr. Corbin for an online class. He is an exceptional professor. He is very detailed, and wants nothing but success for his students. He works with you any way he can. As long as you don't slack you'll pass exceptionally. If you struggle in English I suggest you take him because you'll improve greatly.
Dr. B is an outstanding professor! I just finished his winter mini and it was worth the compacted time! As long as you do your part and on time there is no reason to not pass with an A. Dr. B works with you as long as you work with him. If you aren't the best in English I recommend taking him!
Excellent Professor will definitely take him again but maybe not online. Was super easy class. Especially for someone who procrastinates and does not like writing. Gives good feedback on papers and even let you send draft to help you out prior to essay being due. 3 essay 1 group essay
Dr. Corbin is AMAZING! I took the online summer mini-course and he was always available to help by email. I never felt like I was bothering him. There are 4 modules each one has an essay and some practice writing assignments. He gives GREAT feedback on essays. I am a very amateur writer and I have made B's and A's on all essays. TAKE HIS COURSES!
Dr. Corbin was a real gem. He created an organized syllabus and calendar that he updated regularly, gave precise instructions to improve essays, and he answers emails in minutes. The work amount was just right and he gave us plenty of time to complete our assignments. He even found time to grade assignments barely a week after turn-in.
Took Dr. Corbin for an online 3-Week Winter Mini. 4 Essays plus a Reflection essay. Lots of work, but this is this is a 16 week course packed into 3 weeks. Dr. Corbin is accessible, and quickly responds to email.
Favorite ENGL teacher I've had in college! Dr. Corbin was very clear with directions, his class was very well structured & organized, & I genuinely learned a lot from this class. We had 4 essays, & lots of essay related assignments. He structured it to where u were writing your essays weeks before they were due which made writing them much easier.
He is someone that really cares about what he teaches and you can tell he loves his job. I truly enjoyed and learned a lot from the professor.
Dr. Corbin is a great professor. He gives clear instructions but will always answer emails quickly if you have any questions. He gives just the right amount of work so that you have plenty of time to finish assignments and work on up coming essays.
I really like this professor but he was unfair with grading essays. Mind you, this is English 1 not 2. He was clear about assignments, had a few discussion boards, reading assignments and 4 essays. Responds fast to emails, just a tough grader on essays.
Dr. Corbin is a great professor! He is very helpful in giving feedback on all work. Very detailed and straight forward with what needs to be done on each essay. He is always ready to help, so you can improve on your writing.
I took Professor Corbin's Composition 1 class, and I can attest that he has been the best English professor I have ever had. He is easy to understand, grades very fairly, and is very easy to work with as a student. As long as you do your work on time, the course will be easy. Very good professor. I wish I could take him for every English class.
Great professor! If you gave effort he gave 100s. He pretty much gave me 100 on all assignments except papers which he still gave 90s on. He assigns a lot of work but it's not difficult and he provides a lot of help with essays. Loved him!
He is a great professor! Honestly glad I took this class since there isnt much to do other some essays and discussion boards. Textbook is required, you can rent one out at the San Jac bookstore.
It is my late review. I took ENGL130 in Spring 2022. Yes, you will write essays, but he will help you a lot during the process. Yes, you will have assignments, but they are easy to go. My class was amazing. Mister Corbin will help you as much as he could. He cares about all of his students. Take his classes, you will not regret it!
Dr. Corbin in general seems like an amazing man. He cared about the well-being of his students and worked hard to ensure we were prepared for each week. Love his thoughtful and engaging feedback. TAKE HIM FOR ENG1301
Great teacher very flexible and wants you to succeed!
Dr. B was a great professor. He was very clear about every single assignment and always emailed back quick. He cares about his students and makes sure they are prepared for success. I am taking him again for comp.
Professor Corbin was very caring. He helped me even though my attendance wasn't the best. 100%, would take again.
Learning is certainly interesting with this professor. Always showed up to class with a smile and genuinely cared about the students. Easy to communicate with and incredibly diligent on feedback and help outside of class. Great Professor!
He teaches APA style and gives constructive feedback. He really cares about his students and wants them to learn and improve. He is very responsive outside of class. He provides multiple books to read which students pick from. His lectures are interesting and unexpected. He is very kind and has a smile that shines through his tone alone.
Professor Bryan Corbin is an excellent teacher. He kept classes interesting & rarely did he ever lecture (if he did, it was not monotone/heavy). He is an inspiration and fun teacher; truly made me enjoy writing in his classes. I took a summer course + a spring semester from him. Majority of students came back to take him again.
He gives great feedback on essays. He has the students make greeting cards for seniors. Has short lessons on grammar, punctuation, etc. The essays were challenging but doable.
This professor really cares about his students. All the papers are in APA format but he makes sure to give you a lot of resources to help with that. Classes are fun and not lecture heavy.
Great class and very informative! As long as you read all materials and do your assignments you will pass. Group projects required and must participate/interact with classmates.
Great teacher, would definetly recommend! English is not my best but I managed to get a B. Assignments were very intersting and motivational. He is very helpful as well as responsive.
He was a good professor, but I felt like he gave us a lot of busy work that wasn't helpful/beneficial to the actual course. He took a bit long to grade work as well.
What an amazing professor! I would have liked to have him for 1301. Dr. Corbin's class is very condensed and he gives excellent feedback. The only bad thing I can say is that essays are heavily graded but other than that he is just awesome. He is easy to reach and will never be rude. He always uses "please" and "thanks". Please, take him if you can
Take him for Composition I and II. He is extremely polite, easy to reach, and his class is very condensed and easy. Essays are heavily graded, but he gives you a chance to submit optional rough drafts for the first two essays so he can provide feedback before you submit them. He does not use Turnitin but SafeAssign, which is less rigorous.
Amazing professor. As advice, if you take him for Composition II, be careful with the evaluation essay as it almost knocked my A grade down to a B. You can ask him to resubmit any of the first 3 essays for a better score; I just did not do it because it was the last week of the semester and even with the score I got, I still managed an A. Take him!
He is the best English professor that San Jac has! I wish I had taken him for Composition I. He drops 4 of your lowest non-essay grades. The downside is that he takes too long to grade stuff. Essays are graded heavily, but I have had tougher graders. He is extremely polite, and I felt very good in his class. Take him for all your English classes!
This course was online and consisted of reading one book, four essays, some discussion papers, and there was supposed to be one group work but was canceled due to technical issues. The professor was very kind, responded to emails really fast, and gave good feedback on the essays. The course is easy if you can explain your thoughts on the reading.
he was supper chill and cool
Inspiring teacher. All work is about kindness and beyond writing, Dr. B is invested in making you a better person. Essay instructions are clear, books are easy and short, and most assignments help you read less outside of class. He does a lot to make this class be as pain free as possible. I wish all teachers were like him!
Overall a very great professor! He is straightforward with his grading expectations and gives you feedback on where you could've done better. Compared to other professors I've had he grades his papers a little harder, but not impossibly either. Good pick if you're wanting an online course because he communicates and has reasonable deadlines.
This professor loves his job and loves helping students. From the first day, he always reminded us that he was here to help us. Even though I barely asked questions, I felt comfortable knowing I would not be judged if I was confused about the topic. On the assignments that we would do, he would take time out of his day to give us feedback.
This professor is amazing and is probably my favorite teacher I have ever had. I am 50 yrs old and have over 100 credit hours, so I say this with experience. He is intelligent, caring and wants to see you succeed and will help you do so. Dr. Corbin is the epitome of what a teacher should be. He sets clear expectations and helps you if you need it.
I'm not going to lie, this was my worst class of this semester. Professor Corbin is nice and all, but he will probably never give you an 100% on anything major. All of my essays were given B's and C's no matter how hard I tried on them, even when I took his criticisms and changed every thing he told me to.
Professor Corbin is a great person. I got a barely passing grade due to my own faults. He tried his hardest to help us all pass and replied quickly to all questions via email. Tough grader on essays, one group project. I enjoyed reading all the material he gave out and would take his class again for sure.
Professor Corbin was the best professor I have had. He is very caring and explains what he wants out of every paper and assignment.
Super, super sweet and understanding. So many extra credit options and so lenient with late and missed grades. I would 100% take him again
Dr. B is a caring lecturer and an easy grader if you meet his standards. He gladly reviews work before the submission date. Lectures are engaging with group projects, and homework is mandatory. Extensions or reconsiderations are possible for missed work or AI-flagged assignments.
Highly recommend. Unlike many proffesors, proffesor Corbin is understanding and always willing to help you succeed. His work load is not too much. If you follow the rubric you'll do well. Loved writing greeting cards for senior citizens in his class. He cares about his students and his class is fun. Best proffesor I've had.
LOVEEEEE! best professor I've ever had, he is so passionate about what he teaches and his work is amazingly easy. He will change your perspective on so many levels.
Dr Bryan Corbin has been my favorite professor by far! He makes sure you understand everything well and is always open to answering any questions you might have. On top of that, I really liked the way he gave us inspirational essays that really changed my point of view in life. He is really nice, and gives light homework.
Dr. Corbin really cares about his students work. In my class there were 4 essays. APA citation is important. We had to read 2 short books for 2 different essays but they're very inspirational. He gives more than enough time to finish essays. There are in class assignments and you can't makeup it up if you miss class.
In his class we had 5 major essays (the last one was a reflection essay), weekly reeding responses and one group project. Always read the syllabus because the instructions to the essays were only there. In general, everything was smooth and he had nice lecture materials. Not a lot of homework in this class but get ready to read books
I loved Dr. Corbin as a professor. I took his class as a dual-credit class when I was in high school. He was sweet and always kept his students updated when he wasn't available to answer emails. You can turn in work late and still get up to a 70. He truly loves what he does, and is an overall amazing professor.
Stop thinking about it, sign up for Dr. Corbin. He is a fantastic prof who cares a lot about his students. He responded to emails usually within minutes and was always helpful and respectful. Grading criteria is very clear and he is a fairly light grader. The essay topics are relatable and actually fun to write about. I enjoyed this class! 10/10!
Dr.Corbin's ability to teach is by far the best I have ever experiences. He is extremely helpful when it comes to feedback, and makes sure to help you with any questions you have. Although composition and writting can be boring to some, Professor Corbin never fails to make the classes and lectures entertaining and interactive. 100/10!!!
I took this for an easy summer composition credit and he was definitely an amazing professor. We read three books about self help with happiness, kindness, and procrastination, writing essays about what we learned and connections. We also wrote a personal essay lastly about a struggle we overcame.
He is such an amazing professor, and he really cares about his students. I took his ENGL 1301 class as a dual credit class, and he was awesome. He always answers his emails. If he's not able to, he sends out an announcement to let his student know. l i think I wrote about 4 essays with a final 1-pager about what I thought about his class as a final
Great professor who genuinely cares, but he IS very by-the-book. Attendance is strict (5 absences max) and I almost got an FX, but he worked with me when I communicated why I was out. He also reported AI plagiarism, and many students got caught. He's kind and understanding, just be present and don't slack, as my issues could have been avoided.
Dr. B was an amazing professor. He made it clear what he wanted to be done and would reiterate many times if someone didn't get it. Without a doubt, you should definitely take him for your COMP classes. You will have to read maybe 3 books, but they are easy. I am taking 1302 with him and looking forward to it! 100% 10/10 would definitely recommend!
Professor gave good insight on writing. Grades strict but doesn't take off points for no reason. Always gives feedback on why you got your grade. Answers emails fast, and is kind with turning in things as long as you communicate.
I'll be honest he's tough grader that doesn't have specific instructions on how his projects should done nor does he a show an example. He's demanding in getting readings and journal entries done, but his lectures are great. I appreciate how he connects the material to real world application, and his feedback is pretty on point.
