The effort that you put in can definitely be reflected by your grade in this class We had readings & discussions assigned to us. Class consisted of us having those discussions. We had 3 essays to write and was able to rewrite 1. Tough grader when it comes to essays, but emailing him your paragraphs beforehand will help with that. Hes rlly nice.

Took honors but I heard his regular classes are no different. Extremely hard graded. He isn't clear about anything he wants done. He's not an easy teacher. He's a cool guy but he expects to much out of you in your writing. Expects you to be a genius in literature and writing. He doesn't give good feedback of any sort. toughest grader

Dau is truly an amazing professor. Coming in right from high school AP classes, he takes getting used to based on his (what I would call) preferences in writing. He is often readily available after class and during his office hours, as well as via email for questions and feedback. He cares greatly about his students, and pushes his students.

Dau is an absolute riot. He's one of the funniest and most enthusiastic professors I've had in ages. He assigns quite a bit of work and does grade INCREDIBLY harshly, but he offers a lot of wiggle room and a re-write to make up for it. He makes you think deeply about the material discussed, and you will learn a lot from him. Hard but fun class.

he is all over the place . very excessive work for a 101 class. He is not clear on what he wants. he does not respond back to when you want more through information on your work . my advice, do not take him for 101.

Lots of homework

He is a harsh grader. Those 5 point assignment are so much work and make your grade drop so quickly. Rarely do you get a 5/5.

Really cool guy with a great sense of humor, who definitely is passionate about the subject. If you're looking for a chill or easygoing class then you should probably look elsewhere, though. As an English major I was able to get by but you have to be very disciplined and constantly revise things over and over. He is a very very tough grader.

Ignore the bad reviews. This is by far the best English professor I have ever encountered. He will teach you how to write from different perspectives and isolate arguments to make precise arguments. You will learn how to dissect any conversation and back it up with evidence through discussion and in writing. I would retake him if I had the chance!

Dau's class is challenging but worth it. Stay on top of the readings, engage actively, and utilize resources like Unstuckstudy for study prep. You'll develop valuable writing skills, even if the grading is tough.
