Very good at lecturing and teaching. He is really nice. I recommend taking him for a teacher.
excelent teacher that cares for his students acheivments!
A very nice, caring teacher. He is a very good lecturer. The writing assignments he gave were easier than most writing assignments I recieved in high school.
Very clear! I actually learned something in this class!
Very nice, easy and helpful. I recommend him all of the time.
He's a cool guy who knows what he's talking about. Do all the work and its very hard to fail.
awesome teacher, encouraging and caring
AWESOME teacher! This guy loves his students and loves to teach. He acts really mean in the begining to scare off all slackers, but loosens up, leans back, and we just have fun! For sure, take him!
He is very stubborn and sticks to the rules
I enjoyed him in the summer of 04 really niceand give extra credit
Nice guy once you get him talking he won't stop. Do the work and you can't fail
Mr. McLawhorn is a good teacher. He finds the time to help you but he can have his days. Like he told us that no one will recieve a grade of an A unless their papers are perfect. no ones perfect to me, but other then that he's an okay guy.Take this class.
Graet teacher!!! very funny. His papers fun to do. He wants you to have perfect papers, but all in all he is kind and very helpful. His first impression my scare you, but stick with him he does loosen up.
Teaches clearly and effectively but doesn't allow much room for creativity within his writing assignments. No tests, no quizes, just 3 or 4 papers- so you'd better not stray too far from what he considers intersting. He's one of those teachers that simply doesn't believe in A's.
almost impossible to get an A in the class. he will help you no matter what the day is or how stupid the question. he really makes sense. B for me. Even though i did not do very well i learned a lot and it helped the rest of college. but he is really hard
this dude is an awesome teacher and communicates well the purpose of everything you do. it's a great class and he teaches you a lot and if you get the chance you should definately take this class but keep in mind it's hard so don't come half steppin but if you do the work you will have no problem
Mclawhorn is the man. Be sure to turn in your journals each week becasue they do add up. Also don't sweat getting a bad grade on a paper he will offer to regrade it for you. Very funny keeps class interesting.He personally looked at my process speech paper twice in the writting center.Take McLawhorn
He's not hard just getting you ready for those b.s. classes. I Thought I never even pass enc1102 but I got an A. This guy takes his time and really breaks it down so you can learn. seems mean that first week of class but his a real nice guy wants you get to know him. take him you'll pass!!
Do all the work and have all your papers checked carefully and you'll do fine. He gives 3 to 4 essays and 5 time consuming journal assignments, no tests. He's very nit picky with the essays, but he's a good teacher and tells you what you need to know.
I think he is a great teacher and keeps class very interesting.
Best Teacher on campus I think...Couldn't wait to start 1102 just to have him as my Teacher. On a personal note, he's on the of the nicest people you'll meet. Sarcastic, but not in a bad way. Smart man. Greak English Teacher and worth the early time classes.
He's a great teacher
Very blunt about what he wants. Mr McLawhorn is an awsome teacher that will tell you to your face. I think this is one of the best proffesors to take.
Very helpful and very smart. He makes it clear as to what he wants from you, both in papers and on the final. Extremely willing to help, and VERY entertaining! one of the best professors on campus!
Mr. McLawhorn is a very down-to-earth guy. I really enjoyed his class. Though the journals are alittle blah they must be done, at least he makes the grading easy on them. Be sure to always attend class and always ask questions. He is a great guy and not scary... promise...
Mr. McLawhorn is probley the best english teacher ive ever had. do the jounals and you will pass. also take his advice in using the writing centers youll mostlikely get a better grade on your essays. he very awesome, open up to him, and he will open up to you
To get an A in his class all you need to do is do the journals and go to the writing center for help on the essays and you will get a good grade. Great teacher.
Great Teacher. Really entertaining, and his lectures are as clear as glass. Only problem with this class is probably the amount of work. It isn't much, but it requires you to participate inside and outside the class. One of the best professors so far. I never find myself bored in this class.
he is a funny guy, and a nice guy. He is really easy, just always do your journals
he is a really nice teacher, willing to take time to help.
Awesome!!!!
I loved his personality. Very sarcastic. His class isn't so easy. There are about 4 essays to write and you have to spend a lot of time outside of class on them. Make sure you do your journals even though he doesn't read them which makes it an easy A. He is so real and willing to help you. NEVER have to get up in front of the class or groups.
he is a good teacher. Funny and all that.
GREAT TEACHER AND VERY STRAIGHT FORWARD. HAS A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR. IS WILLING TO HELP YOU WHENEVER YOU NEED IT. THE WORK IS CHALLENGING BUT JUST PAY ATTENTION AND ASK FOR HELP AND YOU WILL PASS THE COURSE. HE IS ONE OF THE BEST PROFESSORS THAT I HAVE HAD!!!
I hate english, but he made it fun, and interesting.Make sure you do the journals they help you out a lot, and when he gives you notes study them that night b/c more than likely he will quiz you when you have class again. Go to the writing center.He is hard on grammer. I could never get higher than a B on an easy on outside papers. But in class pap
GREAT Instructor. Makes writing papers not so horrible. He has a GREAT sense of humor and will make you laugh more often than not. He also will help you become a better writer. Listen to his suggestions and follow his advice and you will be gold!
Easy class...much better than sitting in the classroom...he was very helpful and responded to emails EXTREMELY fast....great guy.....
great! very detailed with his explanation of what was necessary to complete course and didn't force you to write about a certain topic.
Very good teacher! He allows you the opportunity to choose your own writing topic and doesn't require a lot of outside reading assignments. He makes class interesting and fun and is also willing to help you wherever and whenever needed. I would defintely recommend him.
Good teacher. Took him twice (and for ENC1102). I made a B easily, but probably would have made an A if I had gone to the writing center. He tells stories and is a nice and funny guy. Do the journals.
Nice guy...his story are the best!!! Keeps things interesting! Always helpful.
Mr. McLawhorn is an AWESOME teacher. He's very real and he has a sarcastic kind of humor that is really entertaining, and keeps the class interesting. Not boring at all!!! Has a strict attendance policy, but is definately my favorite teacher by far. Just turn everything in on time and you will do fine in his class!!!
Great teacher! He is extremely helpful on all assignments he gives. I did the work and easily got an A. Recommended 100%
He's an awesome teacher! The best I had this year!! Take him!!!!
Funny Guy.. Always helped out
Very clear on what he expects. If you do all your writings and come to class there shouldnt be any reason not to pass.
Best English teacher ever!awesome sense of humor.If you do the essays he assigns and put some effort into them you should have no problem passing.Do the journals.Best teacher at TCC.I love him!
No Comments
He is great!! Always very helpful and it was a pleasure coming to class! His stories are the best! Do the work and the journal entries and you shouldn't have a problem!!
AWESOME! great sense of humor. easy class work. alot of essays but he gives you class time. not to many notes given. just go to class do your journals and essays and the class should be a breeze
Easy class. I took online and passed with an A. Doesn't use Black Board, but respond to emails. 6 papers (2 impromptu) are your grade. TAKE HIM!
Mr McLawhorn was a great web-instructor. If you had any questions and sent him an e-mail you got a response right away. If you made any mistakes he would work with you on fixing them. Great web-instructor. I do Reccomend!
Hes a great teacher. Got along great with my class!! I was a little intimidated throughout the year bc hes kinda scary from time to time. but He will help you if you show that you've done work. He likes it if you go to his optional days at his office so you can get his help bc it shows that you care about your grade on the paper. TAKE HIM! :)
Pretty good guy, but the grades are dependent on papers pretty much alone. He's really picky about how he grades them too, so as long as you can write a mean essay, you'll do fine.
Mclawhorn is a badazz, he is a funny guy with a good personality.But attendance is mandatory and he is real picky when he grades papers. overall I recomend taking him... i liked him a lot
One of the best teachers I have ever had. If you truly want to write a good paper, and are serious about learning, then you should take him. If you are not into being challenged, then don't take him.
Overall was a very helpful and good teacher. Take his class if your serious about learning how to write a good paper.
Mr. McLawhorn was one of the best english teachers I've ever had. Though the work is a bit hard and he grades kinda tough, he really helps you pass. He seems like a tough, hard guy, but he really is a nice man. His sense of humor is extremely dry, and he likes to curse hilariously. Definitely take him!
he is very understanding he explains his papers very well its 3 major papers a few journal entries and a final. No quizzes or test besides the final. He is a wonderful teacher...HE IS AWESOME!!! I RECOMMEND HIM!!!
This guy thinks he is teaching at harvard. He expects way too much from junior college freshmen.He knocked off 80 on a 200 pt paper for 2 citational errors repeated. In other words he counts off full credit for each error. I failed his class because of that and the worst part of it is he is my advisor...awkward.
He is a Great Teacher. Teaches you alot about Writing a paper and he teaches you things you can use at the next level. Take Him.. He is Amazing.
At first I was freaked out because he sounded really hard and strict, but I learned soooooooooooo much and I really like Mr.McLawhorn a lot. He's not even my advisor and he helped me out after class when i couldn't register he even made a phone call for me to the student union i would for sure take him =]
THIS GUY IS A GOOD PROFESSOR, HE HAS A GOOD TEACHING ABILITY, THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN HE ASSIGNS ESSAYS HE IS VERY,VERY PICKY ABOUT HOW TO WRITE THEM. I RECOMMEND HIM BUT YOU WILL DEFINITELY LEARN A NEW TECHNIQUE IN WRITING.
He is an awesome teacher. He tells you exactly what he wants; there is no gray area. Always available if you have questions. Need to attend class; he will drop you per policy. Too bad I could not take him for 1102:( Really great professor!!
He is really critical and detailed when it comes to your papers but if you make mistakes he will try to help you correct them by showing you what you did wrong. I liked him and got a B in his class. Definitely want to be serious taking his class.
One of his policies for online students is that must turn in all assignments or get an F. No exeptions. I turned in all my assignment and looked at my grade at the end of the semester and had an F. Turns out he didnt recieve one of my assignment but he told me to resubmit it and he changed my grade to a B. He was very cool about it. Thanks Dude!
GREAT TEACHER AND VERY HELPFUL. I WOULD LOVE TO BE IN MORE OF HIS CLASSES IF I COULD. ALL TEACHERS NEED TO BE LIKE HIM.
seems like a kind of scary, hard teacher but he is a really cool guy. has his own certain way of writing papers which makes it easy to pop out a 3 page paper which is usually assigned. not much homework or textbook use. TAKE THIS TEACHER. i also met a sexy girl in his class which is also good
Great teacher! Kinda tries to scare you at first but after a while becomes really cool! Very picky when it comes to papers but he lays out the information he wants clearly so its easy to do good. I made a low A. Just do all your assignments (journals and extra assignments). No tests!! 3 papers are the majority of your grade.
I took his online class and i have to admit that he is a wonderful and willing to work with you in any situation. He answer all emails in a timely manner and he provides good feed back. 5 papers and the final was an essay. no tests or going to the school for anythinh. I highly reccommend this teacher
Awesome guy I took him in my first semester 1101 he was straight up... U work u pass... U don't u fail pretty simple.
This dude is useless! I emailed him for help on specific issues to improve my grade and I got back a copied and pasted answer! No help what so ever! When I questioned him it took FOREVER to get an email response!
Straight up AWESOME. Take him!
He is the best teacher I have had at TCC so far. He is such a fun teacher, he's very witty and makes funny remarks in his lectures! I enjoyed his class so much, take him and you won't be disappointed! trust me! (At first he comes off strong, but he calms down once everyone gets comfortable in his class)
Take if you know how to write and don't like being babied. A professor who wouldn't just give me a good grade because I knew how to spell, but would grade me on my actual writing so I can get better! Appreciates more elevated writing. Has standardds but wants you to to improve. Makes class interesting. Funny. Relevant. Knows what he's doing.
Do not take this teacher I foyu want to pass! You can do all the work and he will still not pass you. I emailed him many times and he never got back about my grade. horrible teacher and if your ever absent he will fail you.
DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER!!
He is a bit intimidating at first, but he is actually a very good teacher. He explains all essay assignments very clearly and pretty much tells you how to write them. He also gave the us more than enough time to write our essays. Plus he makes lecturing less boring.
Acts ignorant just to upset students.
Take his class if you want to be enlightened. It is a must that you come to class everyday though. If you follow his guidelines which are in his syllabus, it is easy to pass this class with at least a C even if your writing skills are not so well.
Love Him...His Rudeness Made Me Laugh Quite Often...This Is An Easy Class If You Come Everyday...You Just Has To Keep Up With Your Own Grades Because He Does Not Post Them On Blackboard!
AWESOME!!!! Please take for ENC 1101. Great teacher and loves what he does :)
Intimidating at first but I appreciate the fact that he doesn't give a easy A. He wants you to actually learn and improve your papers and not just give you an A because your grammar was good. He's awesome! choose him. Come to class. Follow the syllabus and ask questions then you will surely pass!
Best teacher I have ever had period! Hilarious and fun to mess around with! On the first day i thought this guys a real Mc*sshole but it gets better. He's straight forward and tells you exactly what to do to get an A. He motivates you to do good. Please take for ENC 1101 you will not regret it. Two words "Legit Stash"
Good teacher but kind of annoying when it comes to grading. It's easy to get a B or an A if you just pay attention but it's hard to get an A+. He's a little annoyed most of the time and I don't think he likes to talk to his students. The whole entire course is about writing papers but he never really talked to us about our individual papers.
Good teacher, really straight foward but overall you will pass if you listen to him closely.
If you come to class all the time and actually LISTEN to what he says you can pass this class. His guidelines are very set-in-stone and if you have any problems do not hesistate to ask him after class. He is super helpful. Seemed strict at first and doesnt like nonsense. All in all.. decent teacher. Recommended!
He is the worst teacher don't like how you have keep up with ur own grades, not really any help, complete waste of time. And he talks too much. Don't get this teacher.
Excellent teacher. He is strict and you must attend class, and be prompt. You cannot skate by in this class. He is extremely helpful if you seek help. He's definitely a no mess kind of teacher, but very good. We had 3 papers to write in the express session.
Great professor. Anyone worried about learning how to adjust to writing papers in college should definitely take him. He's really helpful. Yes, he is strict, but this is college. Come to class because he does take roll. I took him during the summer and got a B. I'm sure if I had him in the fall/spring it would have been an easy A. I recommend him.
This guy is a great teacher. He's funny and keeps you engaged. His class isn't hard, and he really helps you become a better writer. I highly recommend him to be anyone's English professor.
He is a wonderful teacher. If u can make it to class everyday on time and get assignments done, he is an absolute breeze. Can also be comical if the situation calls for it.
He is an amazing teacher, and you will learn a lot from him! :) You will pass his class if you put effort into it!
He is very easy, clear, helpful, he gives assignment to help the student to raise their grade, He does not teach in summer so I will wait till the full to take the second English class with him,if you want to take ENC1101, OR ENC1102 , TAKE IT WITH HIM , he is amazing teacher
I haven't had any proctored test, so that was a plus. He also responds promptly to all my emails. I will take him for all my classes if it was an option! Super easy long as you do the work!!
This class is based mostly around the three papers you will write which are graded heavily on citations, punctuation and other mechanical things (things other than the writing itself). McLawhorn lectures one time before each essay and the following class days are drafting/workshops. Takes off 5 pts per mechanical error. ATTEND ALL CONFRENCES.
Best English Teacher I've EVER had, HANDS DOWN. Professor McLawhorn exemplifies a genuine concern for the success of his students. He hands out tons of resources on how to write the specific essay he assigns (another bonus is essays in lieu of tests) and for those who lose papers easily (me) he posts them online. But I suggest buying a flash drive.
SO NICE AND CLASS IS EASY IF YOU KEEP UP WITH WHATS GOING ON . HE EXPLAINS EVERYTHING WELL AND WANT HIS STUDENTS TO PASS .
Professor McLawhorn has become one of my favorite professors ever, he is a great teacher and just an all around good guy. I would suggest him to anyone taking this class, and it's super easy to pass if you just keep up with the work!
Great class! Very basic writing skills taught, easier than my AP classes. Whenever drafting in class, take your paper to him and ask questions, he will tell you exactly what he wants! I got A's on all of my papers because I made sure I understood what he wanted to read. Don't be a minute late to class, because he will mark you absent. Really easy
TAKE THIS TEACHER. McLawhorn is AMAZING. This was my first college class and I was a little intimidated but he was clear, genuine, funny, and open to questions/comments/concerns. He wants you to succeed and will make sure you have the tools to. If I could take McLawhorn again I definitely would! You won't regret taking this teacher.
Great teacher! Stern, but is very clear on what he expects, just do what he says and you will pass!
he's a really good teacher, he likes the work u do for him to be done his way ,but its ok because he's very helpful and u will really learn alot. Don't miss class because you will miss something important ( need to know information)I'm lazy but he's an great teacher
Comes across as kind of stern but makes up for it by giving lot's of class time to do work on your own either in or outside of the classroom but, Turn in all assignments and attend all conferences, and it is an easy class and you will learn a lot. I would recommend this teacher.
Great Professor. You MUST come to class and MUST NOT be late. He is very helpful and wants you to succeed. Make sure you do ALL the assignments, points add up. Do ass he asks and this class will fly by!
Outstanding clarity of content
he is a really good teacher! very helpful!!
He is amazing! He is very helpful yet stern. He wants you to do the work (which is plenty) but he doesn't grade the papers hard. Be on time!
He is stern but tells you exactly what he wants in the papers. Gives plenty of class time and offers conferences to help students with his grading. Set me up for ENC 1102 which was easy to get an A in. Use the writing center it will help!
NO! would never take this professor again.
I took his class my first year at TCC, and i had used this website to pick him with on here it said he was great, so i was excited, that was until i spent my 1st week in him dungeon(class) he is completely awful!! he is so strict, cares nothing about your personal issues, grades his papers very harshly and is so rude constantly. DO NOT TAKE HIM!
I had him for not even two classes. Hes so rude and doesnt care about anything that may happen in your personal life. Thats fine bu What if something happened&i truly couldnt make it to class? The fact that he wouldnt care a bit already annoys me. Im never late anywhere or miss anything so the fact that id have no grace is a deal breaker for me
Strict teacher, not much help... Dosn't seem to care much for students. Took this class and dropped it because it was so terrible.. There are other great Enc1101 teachers at TCC I reccomend Ms. Boykins.
I took him my first semester at TCC. He seems kinda scary at first, very strict, but is actually pretty chill (still strict though). Don't be late, don't have your phone out, don't miss class. He adheres VERY closely to TCC absence policies, so be careful what day(s) you miss. Good teacher tho. Is willing to go over stuff outside of class for you.
I never knew how to write a college essay until this class. He comes off as very stern at first but he's hilarious. He's a great professor, he tells you exactly everything he wants in the paper and will go over it in class with you to make sure you understand it. He offers workshop days to come in and revise your paper. I would recommend taking him
One of if not the best and most helpful teachersprofessors I have ever had. He is strict and clear on what he wants and what he will deduct points for. he assigns about three papers a semester, with plenty of time to complete each one comfortably. I would highly recommend him, if you're a hard worker, there is no excuse for getting lower than an A
Just make sure to get there everyday and on time but he is very helpful!
He knows what he wants, and he expects you to deliver it. If you have a question, YOU must be the one to instigate it. He is a tough grader and gives feedback based on criteria he gives in the beginning. To get a good grade, turn in ALL assignments and follow ALL criteria set forth. Don't wait until the last minute. Be on top of your workload!
Very clear and helpful when in need of assistance. Comes off as tough or rude at first but only because he knows what he wants and how he wants it done. Great professor and would recommend for someone who likes writing and composition. Humorous and nice if you're on his good side. Do not skip- you will get dropped after 4 absences.
This guy is very intelligent and wants but the best out of you but sometimes takes it too far. He is a very tough grader on essays, worked my butt off for him and hardly got a B. Wouldn't recommend for people who don't go to class or aren't very good writers cause he'll drop you if you miss 4 and he won't take pity on bad writers.
McLawhorn is an outstanding professor. I like English and I am fairly good at writing, but after taking his class my writing skills have tremendously improved. He is very helpful, always willing to talk to you. He takes attendance, but you will want to show up anyway. He gives a lot of writing time in class and answers any of your questions.
He's a tough teacher but you will learn a lot. Be on your game and you won't have any issues, he doesn't take any bs.
Although I've never actually met Mr. McLawhorn his online course was amazing! He grades quickly and is always sending reminders of what's due next. If you do all your work this class in an easy A. However, he grades a little tough on the research paper which is worth 200 points! Other than that I received and A on the other 3 papers.
He's really tough grader and he doesnt really explain the homework and assignments when he assign them.
He is an amazing teacher and I am taking I'm again for ENC1102. He gives extremely clear grading criteria and you can email him any question and he'll quickly respond. He gives easy classwork that boosts your grade. You use the textbook but he has it in the library so you don't have to buy it. Solid teacher and loved the atmosphere.
Mr. McLawhorn is a truely phenominal professor! He is very knowledgable on the subject at hand and gives plenty of resources and time for essays. He comes off as a tough guy buy is overall a great man! Not much homework, no test, three essays and the final exam essay. I made an A on all of the essays, no lower than a 95. Would highly reccommend him
He's awesome and memorable enough a character to belong in a Cohen brothers movie.
Amazing teacher. Bad first impression, but he turned out to be very nice and understanding. If you miss a couple days you can still pass. Your grade will rely on the 200 point essay. Final is just an easy essay. Overall I would recommend him as a professor.
Cares about his students if you out in the work and try your best. He will help you if you ask to make sure you pass the class. Very good professor.
I took Mr. McLawhorn for ENC1101 online. Lots of writing, as could be expected: 3 big essays, 2 Impromptu essays (90 mins each), and weekly Journal entries in which articles were analyzed. Tough grader. Doesn't give feedback unless you ask. Responds to emails quickly. Not easy, but I would recommend if you're willing to work hard! Good overall!
Professor McLawhorn was just the teacher I needed. I needed someone who came off as a intimidating, but understanding. Pay close attention and turn in all of you entry journals, you will do just fine!
GREAT TEACHER!!! EXPLAINS EVERYTHING AND GIVES EXAMPLES of ever wrtiting you have to do in the class!
Professor McLawhorn is a spectacular teacher! He lays out what he expects of you very clearly each time an assignment is given, and leaves no room whatsoever for misunderstandings. However this also means if you don't do assignments the way he wants, your grade will suffer. He takes attendance VERY seriously, so do not be late to his class. Ever.
Mr. McLawhorn is a great English professor, he takes his job seriously and is a decent dude. He is a tough grader and attendance is absolutely mandatory. If you don't follow the instructions, he isn't going to go easy on you or feel sorry for you, but he does try to help his students and is available if you need extra help. I would reccomend him!
Mr. McLawhorn was one of the best professors I have ever had. The first paper was a little difficult but it got me comfortable with how he graded. I highly recommend taking him he is very understanding and if you put forth effort he recognizes it. He is very caring so do not hesitate to speak with him after class about anything.
Great teacher. I was scared at first but is actually an easy class if u come to class and pay attention. 3 main essays and he gives u time in class for the last 2 to work on. Has teacher conferences so he can look at ur paper which I HIGHLY recomend going to. tough grader. is easier than it seems. He has 5 journals that r mandatory but super easy
I have never, ever been good at english. I was never confident in my essay abilities, I never was taught the basics properly, and I never thought I would be lucky enough to say I had a easy class. He is very light on workload, very helpful with explaining, has great learning guidelines, and an easy grader. I wish he taught the second class online.
great teacher, grades you fairly and will give you feedback if requested, replies very fast and confirms that he has received your work. sends out assignment reminder too, which is extremely nice. wish all teachers would be like this!
McLawhorn was one of my favorite professors. When it comes to writing essays he's a tough grader but he really breaks down the essay and makes it easy for you to write. He is a great teacher and is big when it comes to respecting him and his rules. skipping a couple classes here and there wont drop your grade just make sure you know when hw is due.
I took his class online. He was easy to get in touch with if needed. I would recommend getting the required textbook unless you just live in the library. I made the mistake of not getting it and I would do that over if I could. He makes you use it just about every week up until the end of the semester. The course and professor overall were fair.
He is very straight forward and to the point with what he expects out of you for every assignment and essay. He gives you more than enough time to complete the course work. I wouldn't advise buying the book and he'll tell you the same. Just make sure you take time to rent it out or make copies to complete your journals. I'd suggest him to anyone!
The only real downside of McLawhorn's class is that there's a lot of writing, but that's not a surprise and he grades pretty fairly. His lectures are pretty engaging and he is a very good speaker. McLawhorn is also a pretty charismatic guy, which is always a plus. Go to class, do the work, and you'll be just fine.
Not very caring about your grades or even knowing your name for that matter...
Easy class! Just show up and do your assignments and you should be fine. You have journal entries and 4 four essays throughout the semester and a final. He's a cool dude and is willing to work with you.
Easy A if you review and work on your skills listed in his essay grading criteria.
Three major assignment essays, 2 or 3 impromptu essays, a final exam, and 5 journals. A LOT of writing but TOTALLY worth it! He gives plenty of time for students to come to his office where he sits down and corrects things and duh! Theres a learning commons! If you have common sense, youll pass his class with flying colors:)
I took him online for ENC1101, he responds very quickly to emails. He is precise on his essay expectations, and offers feedback upon request. He notices when his students show determination. I was skeptical of taking an online english class, but every Monday and Friday he sends reminder emails, so there is no miscommunication on when/what is due.
Offers conferences for each essay, very clear on directions.
Took him over the summer. A great professor at TCC. Five journals, two or three major essays. Offers conferences for each essay. Easy A just show up to his class and pay attention.
Writing isn't one of my strong subjects but his class was easy if you followed the directions. I took the class online and during the summer and it was fast paced but I felt like I had plenty of time to do my assignments. I believe he grades fairly and I would take him again.
Good teacher. Very gruff.
He's an okay teacher. There's a lot of homework and the first paper is rough but it helps you get used to his grading. He's really funny and very charismatic. He's really clear on his directions and if you follow them you'll get good grade.
Very good teacher. Clear instruction on what he want and how he wanted. Homework is easy do the homework its basically extra credit. Highly Recommend
This was my 4th (yes, fourth attempt class) time taking 1102 and I am grateful that I chose Mr. Mclawhorn. He is a old school teacher however he explains very well what he expects from his students. 4 essays, 5 journals, final exam (based on notes taken in class) , and final essay exam. Not a hard grader but he is strict to a certain extent.
Dr. McLawhorn is very thorough in his expectations for grading. He can come off somewhat rude to some people, but if you respect him, he will respect you. Don't be afraid to use his conference days for papers, he will point out certain flaws and help you correct them so you can earn a better grade.
Professor McLawhorn is a great professor. This is my second course with him. Make sure to show up to class, and go to his conference days in his office. His is always willing to help.
I took his class online and it was a breeze! Would definitely take it again. Most of his assignments have you reading a couple of pages and discussing them. Theyre are two position essays, an impromptu essay, and the final essay. Finished most assignments in no time.
This is a joke class. Every second class is cancelled: library, conference, research. He hardly ever teaches. Dont get me wrong. He gives you an easy A but dont expect to learn anything. What a scam!
His class is easy. He doesnt grade tough. Lots of assignments though. He responds to emails quick and will help you. Going to class really helps you to understand what is expected. He comes off as tough but respect him and do the work and youll be fine. Id recommend.
The professor is not a tough grader unless it is a bigger assignment. Honestly very easy class and response to emails fast. I took online and would recommend to everyone.
I took McLawhorn for ENC 1102 & he was actually very funny , helpful and informative. He does have a clear grading scale of exactly what he wants on the essays and its kinda hard to fail. He does offer writing conferences before essays which are so helpful. Its not too much work.. its definitely manageable. Overall recommend
He doesnt care if students pass or not. If youre a 2 minutes late hell mark it as an F and wont care whatsoever!
This was the first time I have ever received a B in an English class, he gives no extra credit and if you don't show up to class you're basically screwed as he lectures and barley repeats himself. He responds very fast with good feedback, I enjoyed his class but I don't recommend it if you don't like showing up to class or putting in the effort.
2 papers, 5 journals, and a few 1-page writing assignments. His rubrics aren't very clear because he expects his students to take careful notes in class, so if you don't show you'll miss important instructions. In terms of Zoom, I can tell he's a fun guy but he's struggling to be engaging with students. He's super kind and he's willing to help.
To put it simply, his criteria and assignment instructions are clear and fair, but he is somewhat of a tough grader; So you'd better be on your p's and q's with this guy.
McLawhorn is great if you like to-the-point professors who have clear expectations. He is responsive and seems to carefully provide feedback when it is requested. I asked him why I got a 97/100 on something, being a perfectionist, and he replied very thoughtfully. Would recommend, especially as an online course! Everything is due on Fridays.
i always hated english but professor mclawhorn definitely made it a better experience for me.
