He is the best teacher I've had yet. He does a lot of "hands on" work with us which, i believe, gets us more into it. He also lets us interact with one another instead of him just lecturing us. Very creative, good way of teacher.

His gradeing can be very hard if you don't write well. Had to do alot of in class essays on not very fun topics. Each essay has to be at least 500 words in class. Will have you doing a Process Essay in which you feed him and the class. Can be difficult. Don't take if not with grammer and writing.

I can only speak for myself. Professor Twiggs was awesome. I knew nothing about essay's and practice make prefect. I know how to right an essay thanks to all the writing in his English class. Any time I email Professor Twiggs I received an answer back immediately. I will recommend this online class. You must apply yourself. I enjoyed his class.

Rarely responded to emails, was not helpful with any issues. Would not correct mistakes he made in grading, and was very unprofessional in what responses he did have.

His class is relatively easy if you do your work. He does not respond readily to emails or messages on the discussion board , so don't expect fast response to that. There were times that I had questions that got answered by other students instead of the prof. Papers were not really graded quickly so I had to guess as to how well I did. Fair grades.

A seriously nice guy, and a pretty good professor. He's super helpful and tries to make sure you get the best grade possible. He's a bit slower grading papers, but he always responded to my emails within 24 hours. Really, his class was an Easy A as long as you turn in decent work. He's not harsh with grading.

Very good instructor. He always responds to emails in 24 hrs n he is very helpful. What he wants u 2 do is 1. do the work & 2.participate in the discussions by using outside sources. He also wants 2 hear YOUR opinion on the selected readings! He prefers passion to rote memorization. Dont miss ur apt 4 1st essay or u'll have 2 go way out 2 Deerwood!

I am not strong in English, therefore this was not a class I looked forward to especially ONLNE. But, this Prof is awesome and made the class enjoyable. I think it's the first time I actually learned something in an English class. I strongly suggest him, may be slow to respond, but still awesome!

I had Professor Twiggs this fall and he has been the best teacher I've had so far at FSCJ. I am a junior in high school, taking duel enrollment, and at first I felt kinda scared and out-of-place at college. But Mr. Twiggs made me fit kin and feel welcomed. Defiantly recommend taking him !

This Professor has a head-trip. very arrogant, is nice up until you can't drop his class then turns into a lackadaisical Snot. You will get a good grade as long as you think the same way he does and regurgitate his words back to him. He tells you one things to do then grades you a totally different way. Started with 24 ended with only 8 students

I absolutely LOVE Mr. Twiggs! I took his ENC1101 in Fall or 2019, and let me tell you I could not have gotten any luckier with him. As a freshman he made me feel respected, and that my work was what I made it. I reccomend him heavily! I will also be taking his ENC1102 here in Spring term 2020.

Professor Twigg's class is a great choice! There is no text-book required! This class taught me how to write better essays, he may seem harsh on grading, but it helps you improve your writing. There will be meetings you have to attend depending on your schedule; if you miss out on a few it will reflect on your grade; as well as a project.

Professor Twiggs was absolutely great. The only assignments were essays and attendance. The prompts for the essays were very interesting and open-ended, so you could really be creative! He was very easy going and passionate. Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone!

Gave extra credit for above-and-beyond discussion board posts. Only got A's on essays I spent multiple days writing. Quizzes are tough and based on what you get wrong in the module. Use Purdue OWL and YouTube for sample essays, not the samples he provides. Don't take if you have another work-heavy course in the same semester. Stringent on MLA.

Mr. Twiggs was great!! English is my second language. Im not great with it at all. He was either a harsh grader on my first paper, or it just really sucked. After my first paper and the feed back he gave me I didnt get anything lower than a B. He is also very patient with students!! I would definitely take again.

By far a fun and easy class. If you cannot make it to class, he has live streams where attendance will count off of that. There is a few essays but I gotten an A on all of them! Usually an assignment and mini quiz every week ( he will allow more than two attempts so you are able to get an A.) He is very caring and understandable.

Professor Twiggs is a really good guy, he shares things from his personal life, he engages with you about the papers you have to write (the entire ENC 1101 was writing essays), he answers questions clearly, he knew the names of everyone in class, highly recommend taking him

I took his 7-week online course. Expect one essay of a minimum of 500-1000 words weekly. Topics are fun and personable, but he is a harsh grader. Out of all of my essays, I only received a 100 percent on one of them. He was very nice to me, but I did notice that he can be snobby to others. Waiting times for grades are longer than expected.

Mad at myself for not reading reviews before I signed up for this class. No consistency from syllabus to his "due dates", doesn't put the assignments in the place every other online professor does. Confusing, not very friendly, and there's like 6 assignments total.
