Well if you understand what he say there is a plus.

i'm foreign. i have a foreign accent. he still sucks.

GOD AWFUL! Turns each class into a PC tyraid. Trashes all white male charachters in book. Unclear expectations and grading. Unresponsive to students. Will not clarify unfair grades. Gives better grades to black and Nigerian girls. Should be deported!

You cant understand a word he says, how can we know when to hand stuff in? Just because hes black, doesnt mean we HAVE to read all black authors!!! I could fit my whole right arm between the gap in his teeth!!!

very unclear of his expectations. if he disagreed with your position it reflected in the grade! The most boring experience of my life!!!!!

Highly disorganized, close-minded teacher. There seems to be a mutual dislike between him and the class. He doesn't want to be teaching at West Chester and it's obvious.

One of the worst professors I have ever encountered. They say as a professor you are either a facilitator or a roadblock. This guy is a mountain smack dab in the middle of the educational highway. He is very vague, unclear, and close minded. All the students in the class i was in were thoroughly confused and turned off by him. AVOID!!!!!

avoid him at all costs!

Can't understand what he is saying. Nice guy but not the best teacher. Shoots down personal analysis of books unless you agree with his. Doesn't give notes. Lectures are boring as well as the books but all the sections read the same books. He is unorganized and forgets to tell us due dates. The class never read any of the books on time.

He's awful. Unorganized. He assigned me a project and then someone else had a similar one and when I presented he embarrassed me in front of the class saying I did the wrong thing, but it was what he told me to do! Tried my best, he didn't agreee with anything, too critical and closed minded. Don't take him.

Avoid him. Seriously. I'm a very good student with a high gpa and a good work ethic, and I'm telling you this class was ridiculous. His expectations are through the roof...almost impossible. He also has a bit of an attitude problem. And lastly, if you are forced to take him, do NOT get caught on your cellphone! He will humiliate you.

absolutely ridiculous and unrealistic deadlines. no one could get the reading and writing done...no one.

He treats this 100 level gen ed class like it is a 300 or 400 level major requirement.This class is only open to non-english majors but he treats everyone like they are an english major. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. He is close minded when it comes to personal opinions. If you do not agree with his view of the works you will get a poor grade in the class

He started to cry in class the other day and said we treat him inhumanly...he did not like the fact that when he repeatedly made things unclear we got frustrated and began to ask each other what we thought he wanted. He gives assignments that are almost impossible....I WONT EVER TAKE A CLASS WITH HIM AGAIN!

I would NEVER recommend taking Dr. Awuyah to anyone that has the option. It's his way or the highway, no exceptions. He treats this class as if it is a 300 or 400 level class. No rubrics, never gave due dates until the class before the assignment was due, unclear grading system, extremely narrow-minded, and blatantly rude to students

He gave an incredibly offensive lecture, talking about how "the Holy Ghost raped Mary." He is incredibly difficult in grading papers and will not tell you what you can do to improve when you get points off. He lectures on plot events, but gives timed essay exams based on theme.

Worst Professor I have ever had. Had him for two classes, took the second one thinking he would be better, not a chance. He is the reason teachers should be reviewed after getting tenure. Lectures were long and barely comprehensible, he never specifies what he wants from you on papers, and he's an unreasonably tough grader. Avoid at all cost.

I got an A- in this class, but I had to work like a dog for it. He was one of the most unfair graders I have ever seen. When asked why papers didn't get As, he wouldn't know. He only marked conventions wrong on papers, but took off for style and "diction." He said "even publishable grad school papers don't get As."

I'm sure Awuyah is a decent guy outside of the classroom, and an excellent scholar, but he has no business teaching whatsoever. His criteria for grading is all over the place, every comment about paper grading below is spot on. Gets angry when questions are asked - A students struggle in his class. Whoever says he's good is full of crap.

Sometimes his class in enjoyable, others it's grueling and drags on and on. He is a very unfair grader, and his rubrics make no sense. He also hands them out a day before they're going to happen, so if you're sick the following class day, you're screwed. I agree with the "lectures on topics, gives timed essays on themes" statement 100%.

Impossible grader. Couldnt get higher than a C. It doesnt matter if you follow his comments on your essays. His writing prompts are vague. If you dont answer the way he wants you to, you will definitely hear it. Timed open ended quizes. Will never take again.

Worst teacher at West Chester. As a person he is great, but as a teacher he is completely useless. I have no idea why West Chester does not get rid of him. CLS165 is probably the hardest class I ever taken in 4 years. He is useless at explaining things and the syllabus mine as well be tossed in the trash.

He is not only a bad professor, but close-minded. He calls on students randomly asking unclear questions, and when a student answers he rejects their answer if it is not the specific one he is looking for. There were times he was very rude to students and talked down to them, resulting in even less class participation.

Never in my life have I ever had a class as unorganized as this one. We had a project, and when we asked when it was due, he said he didn't know. Most essays done were IN CLASS, 20 mins before class was over. I never knew how much I had to read or when because he never specified. He also cut our exam short, which I don't think is allowed...? AVOID.

He's really bad at teaching. Grading is stupidly hard on you and he's hard to understand. You can have an interpretation of a text but that doesn't matter, only his does, which you must jot down in your notes for every tiny subtle hint he gives or you will fail.

Do not take him!! He is one of the worst professors I've ever had. He is completely unorganized, forgets what he assigns to read for class, and he grades ridiculously hard. He asks students questions that make no sense and gets annoyed when no one knows the answer. Stay away!!

Hands down the worst professor Ive ever had. Unorganized and sloppy yet has the nerve to grade students harshly on assignments, he lectures for most of the class and he is so boring. He DOES NOT follow his syllabus at all, and will quiz you on material WEEKS after he lectures about it. Biggest mistake I made was taking his class. DO NOT TAKE!!!

This guy.. is something else. Super super unorganized, and when it comes to giving notes, its him just scribbling random words across the board. Does not give enough time for exams, and with the stupid amount of harsh grading, its hard to claw an A out of this guy. The first exam I took, almost everyone got a C+. Do not take this guy, its bad.

Youll drop a letter grade if you miss more than 4 classes, this guy will not give an A out. No one in my class got an A. Its all Bs and mostly Cs. Grades SO harshly, its the most nonsense crap Ive ever seen.

Just dont

He's a good teacher but his grading style is awful like it doesn't make sense. and he grade the paper worst then an english teach and makes you read books that he wrote and don't buy the book waste of money every book is only. good teacher worst grader.

The worst. Uncomfortable atmosphere, difficult to understand (has a thick accent), few things are graded. The textbook is his own so its a mini-monopoly. Participation and attendance matter v much. His tests and quizzes are ridiculous, his grading is unclear and tough. Writing emphasis class, not taught writing, then graded on writing. Hes awful

Grading is ridiculously nitpicky. Does not tolerate opinions that differ from his own. Avoid at all costs.

This is by far the most bizarre class I've ever had. The material isn't confusing, and he's an alright lecturer, but the way the class, assignments, and due dates are organized is incredibly difficult to understand. The vast majority of the questions students end up asking are about WHAT we're supposed to do, not actually HOW we should do it.

He asks for a huge deal of content in a very claustrophobic page limit (our longest paper was four pages, and the rubric detailing what to include was nearly as long). His feedback on papers is always extremely vague, so it's really hard to genuinely improve, or even gauge what his expectations are. Changes due dates often and without warning.

One of the most difficult professors. Grades with no clear rubrics, d/n follow student objectives, takes points off for ridiculous things, & has nonexistent communication. Spent considerable amount of money on the books & only covered half. Very unorganized, & has 2 different & insane attendance policies listed on syllabus. Save yourself the stress

I would give him a zero if I could. Be aware that he will say he does not give As. If you work extremely hard you might pull off a B. Unclear instructions on assignments and poor feedback. Comes across as condescending sometimes. Avoid him if at all possible. He treats this 100 -level course as a Graduate level course!

This class is the most useless thing I have ever done in my whole life. The professor has no care for his students and does not grade anything in a timely manner. My essay that I wrote a month ago still hasn't been graded.

Poor communication-Doesn't use d2l, so write assignments down On week 10 or so slams you with deadlines ie reading 24 pages, peer report, draft assigned on monday, expected completion on wednesday Reading intensive, often expected to read 20-40 pages between classes if you're stuck with him, good luck, you're gonna need it

Chris is by far the most disorganized professor I have taken. He nitpicks every single thing you write too. As a person, he is really caring and wants what's best for his students, but he does it in such a brutal way. For a freshman-level class, he's way too tricky and harsh towards the class in general. If you can take someone else, please do.

Dr. Awuyah is my least favorite professor I have ever taken. He was extremely misogynistic in both the interpretation of our readings and in his classroom interactions with women as well. Unfortunately his African Studies class was required by my major and I urge anyone who has to take this man to do so with caution.

Do not take this professor. Full stop He grades EXTREMELY DIFFICULTY. If you consistently get As in other writing classes, expect a B or C+. Lectures are basically worthless, but he grades attendance very harshly. DON'T BUY THE TEXTBOOK. All readings are public domain. Just look them up. For your own sake- DO NOT TAKE HIM.

I received As in all my other English classes but I will be lucky to get a C- in his. He nitpicks everything that you do and believes his class is the only thing you have on your plate. He forces you to buy the textbook HE wrote for over 100$. I strongly recommend avoiding him at all costs your GPA and wallet will thank you.

He was an awful teacher. He repeated spewed his democratic views. If you spoke and answer that disagreed with him he would fail you. He would force us to call him master

the most work-intensive class I have ever taken, worse than the 400-level seminars I've had. is SO unclear with directions, gives the BARE MINIMUM with guidance, and his syllabus can barely be considered a syllabus because of how unorganized it is. do not take unless ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY! literally only taking this to fulfill eng requirements. 0/10

I had a 1600 word review written for this professor but realized i could only write 350. Trust me when i say you do not want to take this class unless you ABSOLUTELY have to. The other reviews are not dramatic he is passive aggressive, rude, hard to understand, and a harsh grader who is unwilling to compromise. Proceed with caution.

Bad teacher his problems include but are not limited to a lack of communication skills, ineffective teaching methods, inconsistency in grading, or a lack of engagement with students. It's essential to address any concerns you have through proper channels

No matter what you do it is impossible to get an A.
