Great Teacher
Extremely helpful, smart, and funny!
In heaven, this is what teachers are like.
This teacher is one of the best teachers ive taken a class with. Very funny and helpful. Laughs and makes jokes the whole time. If you do all your assignments and talk to him about your grades, you can get an easy A. Heres some advice: Don't wait till the last day to do your assignment. Go to tutors
Here, you have to work, but you really learn the material. Great class!
Sometimes you take a class and wonder if you will ever use what you learn in it. This has been the most helpful class I have taken.
great professor, fun class, at least he made it fun. and he has a great sense of humor. and he really is a hottie!
At first when I took his class, it was very cool and fun. He made alot of jokes and it made everyone laugh. But I got a C at the end even though he gave me high A's and B's on most of my assignments. It turns out he gives C's for no apparent reason to most people and says something like: "your grade affects the quality of your work". ****!
He is wanderfull prof!!! You'll luff in his classes but also you'll learn a lot of good stuff! Strongly reccomend him!!!
I usually don't like English, but this class was great!
He is a laugh a minute! And you can learn a whole lot about a wide variety of subjects.
It's never a dull moment, I laugh so hard I almost peed. Keep your eye out for Brian Peppers!!! AHHHHH!!! "Too Sweet, Too Sexy!"
I haven't learned anything in this professor's class. He maked a lot of jokes, he made us playe with balls in the class. He tried to be funny that was his all goal. I don't suggest anyone to take his class because you are not going to learn anything.
Excellent professor! Take any class that he teaches. Makes class interesting.
Prof. Davis is really helpful, especially during the final exam week. His facial massage really helped on easing my tension. We planned to watch the Brokeback mountian together. He also shows his creative side by designing hairdos for his students.

This teacher made class fun!! He was always available to help you after or before class. I would definitely recommend this teacher!
Worst English teacher out of 3 classes I took. Doesn't help, useless comments on papers, and I still don't know how he grades. I have taken online classes before, including English, but he is the worst.Still got a B.
good teavher and easy to get along with

EXCELLENT PROFESSOR! CLASS IS FULL OF FUN , nonstop jokes & LEARNING. HE IS VERY UNDERSTANDING PROFESSOR, ATTENDANCE IS VERY IMPORTANT AND DEADLINES FOR ASSIGNMENT ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. He spends extra time with his students, and he makes all the assignments so easy that you have to be really dumb to fail his class! I got a B+.
He likes to joke around alot, and can be really funny. STRAIGHT UP SERIOUS- if your a PRETTY GIRL with good looks you'll pass, especailly if your ASIAN, HISPANIC, or RUSSIAN!!!! ANd for your information,IF HE PICKS ON YOU, THAT MEANS YOUR IN AND HE LIKES YOU. Jus do your work and you'll be fine. Man i wish i was a girl when i was in his class!
Learned a lot!
hez hilarious.. i recommend everyone to take his class..one can really learn a lot..
Overall nice Guy, some times alittle odd but Really Funny
I do not enjoy english, but davis is a very good professor. Makes the class very interesting, brings props to class! He does make you work for your grade so be prepared when you get a lower grade on your first assignment than what you may have expected.
He is very funny in class.But you will get good grade if you are a pretty girl.
If you want to get a C then go ahead and take him that is all I can say. Very hard grader.
Took this class online. Prof. Davis makes technical writing interesting ... which is tough to do. Enjoyed the class. It's obvious he cares - he spends a lot of time editing your work. Tough grader, I worked my tail off and barely earned an A. Make sure you correct items he marks in future work ... this matters to him. Great teacher ...
Great class and teacher! Learned a lot, got an A.
Best class I've had in college.
Awesome professor! Guides you through all three projects with ease. Uses textbook only for project examples and does not assign bookwork. Very funny and personable. Mentions jails a lot. Does a great job in simplifying topics with analogies. Overall awesomeness!!!!
Well versed in Technical Writing. He grades fairly. He answers questions with quick response and good judgment. I would recommend this professor.
Great teacher and very Funny. I recommend this class.
When you first start his class everything seems fun and he is a great teacher. Professor Davis is a fun teacher BUT a VERY VERY hard grader. The first paper you get back half way through the semester and no one in my class got higher than a 75. Do exactly what he says, no exceptions and meet with him in his office.
HE is fun
He's hillarious and his lesson plans are inventive and interesting. He makes Technical writing fun.
Professor Davis is so much of fun. I'm currently taking his class and with A grade. He makes everything easy for his student but you have to do your part. he gives a lot of work as in A LOT and he really reads your work sentence by sentence and correct your work if u made a mistake. Well i can't complain it's online class so i expected to have a lo
lot of work. Just follow to his handouts and you'll be fine. Goodluck to everyone and i Recommend this Professor +++
Continuation....lot of work. Just follow to his handouts and you'll be fine. Goodluck to everyone and i Recommend this Professor +++
Prof. Davis helped me at writing center many times this semester (Fall'09). I will take his EN 109 next semester, he works with his students. If you need help asked for it and he will give it to you. but you actually have to do the work. Very nice with kids too.
awesome
This professor is hard. He assigns lots of work and when you ask him to explain something, he doesn't fully explain, so you are left asking the question again. His grading is hard and unclear. Do not take his class if you value your GPA!
Brother Davis is the BEST!!!
He is a great person and extremely helpul. If you want a class in which you want to have fun and learn at the same time then take his class.
He is nice and very funny,I took online EN109. It is a difficult class, but he really is a good teacher and he is there for his students
Loved his class!!! Keeps always the class interesting!!!!! One of the best I've had!!!!
Very funny and makes class enjoyable. Before taking him, I read good reviews for this class. I do not know about the online version of this class. He was very helpful and the assignments wasn't very difficult. I recommended him if you need to take EN 109.
I have never seen such an enthusiastic ENGLISH teacher. I'm using what I learned from this class in my daily life. MC should be proud of this Prof. Communication is very important. Do your home work on time if not be prepared to explain. Follow instruction and apply it. I would definitely recommend you to take this Prof. Best Prof.
FUN!!! If you want to laugh and be entertained while actually learning something useful, this is the class. There is never a dull moment with Prof Davis. (This is NOT the class where you check out your FB while someone lectures blah blah blah at you.) Really nice guy, very helpful. BEST COLLEGE CLASS I'VE EVER TAKEN!
I took the ONLINE Proofreading and Editing class this fall. This professor's handouts were really FUNNY to read. We had assignments due every week, mostly based on chapters from the textbook. The work load was fair. He was very clear on what we were expected to do. He always responded within a day or two. He seemed to be a really nice guy.
Best English professor!!! totaly recommend
Great teacher and great sense of humor. He was very helpful and responded to emails quickly. Fair grader. Wish I had taken his class at the college instead of online. Gave a lot of helpful tips on how to write a resume.
Awesome guy who made every single class different fun and engaging.
I think he is still taking classes for English. He is a very poor grader. Don't take him. I knew more before I the class.
I loved English prior to taking this class. He is not a good professor such a waste of time and money. He does not explain things fully. In fact he makes things even more confusing. Best advice seek another professor for this class.
I personally like to write but struggled with this class. The resume help at the end of the semester was the best thing I left the class with. (Resumes are the most important document you will ever write)
Professor Davis is hilarious, and a really nice professor, but his class is very hard. He kind of babies the class through the paper, only to find out that everything we did is wrong and we barely passed the assignment. His instructions are kind of unclear at times. He can make the subject interesting, now he just needs to actually teach it.
Prof. Davis is awesome! He's so nice and respectful. He is very fair and helps you out a lot in writing your papers. However, he is a tough grader so you do have to work hard. Don't just slack off thinking that because he's nice, he'll pass you. Best english teacher I've ever had though!!
Prof. Davis is a good guy, who teaches his class well. His lectures are actually fun and you end up taking more out of them than you'd expect. However, when it comes to Assigned papers it's a different story. His grading is horrendous, and he does not make it clear what you did wrong.
Extremely hard grader for essays. Never have I had a teacher that grades to the minute detail.
Professor Davis was the best professor I have ever had. He is there for you in any way you need him to be. He is the funniest person too! Most of the time he is laughing at his own jokes. One of the best qualities about Professor Davis is that he is determined to make you succeed. I have learned about so much more than just English in his class.
Has his TA's grade his papers for him. Ridiculous.
I recommend taking Professor Davis' ENG103 online class! He provides entertaining weekly notes and helpful handouts to complete assignments. He wants papers to be clear and simple. Definitely learned a lot from his class and will use his guidelines as reference for future papers.
DO NOT recommend (at least online). Hands out instructions for papers piece by piece making it REALLY difficult for thinking process. Not very clear on guidelines, very few specifics! Wants papers written his way and will receive bad grade if you do not.
He is a really fun guy, he likes to make jokes a lot. His lectures are more fun and play but you get something out of it. The criteria isn't always crystal clear, and hard to understand what he wants. He is a tough grader but gives you extra credit if you correct your mistakes. You need to work for your grade.
The class is not tough, but he makes it difficult for no reason and he expect students to write like him. He is very critical even when you follow his instructions. Do not take this class if you want to a decent grade. You will be frustrated throughout the semester. I took this class again with a different professor, went from a C to an A.
Hes a very funny professor keeps the class engaged. But a really tough grader. He gives you an outline on how to write a paper and i did write it the same format but still he is very picky and i was confused on what exactly he wants. Do not take him!!
I dont know why the other comments are so bad. Davis has to be one of the most straight-forward teachers. He gives students a clear blueprint of exactly what to write in the papers he assigns, and as long as you follow it, youll get an A. His lectures were so fun, and time passed so quick! Yes hes picky, but if you follow his advice youll pass!
I am taking him right now for engl 103 online. He is okay. I got A's in 101 and 102, so 103 is not difficult at all. If anything, I would say it is easier. But, he is very picky. I email him at least once a week making sure my paper looks okay and he nitpicks like two things and does not give that great of feedback. He's okay but just be careful.
Rude, snarky arrogance. Online discussions graded as papers, (even 3 sentence chats) syllabus lazily typed in a list form, stating in advance it may take a while to grade papers because he has so many to grade, saying when he will be back on the site. He got a one because zero wasn't an option. Tough grader? no, just vague and rude.
He's quite disorganized and he gives you assignments piece by piece each day. It was basically one paper per week. Monday, he would write a hilarious post with interesting anecdotes and a couple docs. The next day a checklist for your paper. Next day, a couple more docs about the paper. One discussion post per week. His grading criteria isn't clear
Professor Davis sets you up for success! He tried hard to make class fun and I was never once bored. Easily the best professor I have had at MC. He always sets you up for writing your papers so you never end up doing all of it at once. He assigns a section/paragraph a class with a very clear and straight forward outline. I would 100% recommend.
Professor Davis was a great Professor. This class was online/accelerated, so you read the announcements and documents and then write discussion posts and essays each week. It takes work, but it is doable. (If you're reading this Professor, sorry for using dead wood;) I recommend taking this class.
English 103 was the first course I took at MC. This teacher, as cliché as it sounds, inspired me to want to go to school full time again! Prof. Davis was easily the best professor I've had at Montgomery College! I 10/10 recommend taking this course. Bonus - you learn how to write a great resume. My resume helped me gain three scholarships!
One of the best teachers I have ever had
Absolutely amazing guy to be around, his energy while teaching is great. However he isnt the clearest about his grading criteria and can be very nit picky about details. I would make sure to pay attention to the exact sentence structure, grammar, etc, he likes so you can get a good grade
Professor Davis is the best English professor I have ever had and would 100% take a class from him again! He is very clear on how he wants us to write our papers and even lets us use his own writing examples in our papers. This is probably the only useful English class I have ever taken.
He is very disorganized and he gives you assignments piece by piece each day. It was basically one paper per week. Monday, he would write a post with a couple docs. Then additional instruction after that checklist then a couple more docs about the paper. One discussion post per week and no feedback. So discouraging and I regret taking this class.
I took ENG 103 Distance Learning with Professor Davis. Despite being a distance learning course, you DON'T move at your own pace as Prof. Davis only posts pieces of each assignment daily, making it very difficult to complete the assignments at your own speed. ENG 103 isn't a hard course, but Prof. Davis makes it much harder than it has to be.
Prof. Davis is an awesome guy and a great professor. The outlines he provided could easily be followed, and the class was fun. I took English 103, and being my first English class in college, I thoroughly enjoyed his class.
His lectures are great. And he will walk you through step-by-step how to complete any assignment. The course was very easy.
He played BEYONCE to teach us essential information on resumes should go to the left, to the left Do you need any more reasons to take this class? He previewed papers if you went to office hours and taught us how to juggle. His course was AMAZING; he's so funny!!
If you reach out to him for help or clarity, he will be flexible, understanding, and will collaborate with you to resolve your issues.
Professor Davis is extremely kind. He will help you through your papers, the papers are what gets you an A. He helped me on most of my papers, he is very kind and patient, and also easy to talk to ! The class is hard but with his help you'll do find. He's an amazing teacher, I took his class distance learning, accelerated and got an A, You can too!
Had to do weekly discussion posts and a weekly essay, all which culminate into one big essay at the end of the semester. Very nice guy, he grades quickly and provides very good feedback. As long as you actually changed your weekly essay according to his feedback you can get an A. He emails back quickly too. You should have some writing experience
I took Prof. Davis' 10 week asynchronous summer class. The workload was relatively heavy, but Professor Davis was a quick grader and gave great feedback. You have to put in work, but as long as you follow essay guidelines and feedback, you will be fine.
He is a really great guy and a good proffesor. He gives really great feedback on assignments and is super flexible and understanding if you miss class or an assignment. His class is not hard at all. It sometimes is a little difficult to get his point across but he will re explain it to you as many times as you need to understand. Very patient.
Not good at teaching, uses bad anecdotes. Goes over extremely elementary topics, class feels like a waste of time (things like nouns, verbs, etc). Gives out so many unnecessary papers. Very disorganized with the online coursework - just shoves everything for all assignments out in a single module. Was required to take this class.
