cool guy with an odd approach in teaching. One thing i can tell you is that the whole class ends up getting to know each other pretty well. pretty creative
interesting and different
nice teacher, you mark what days you attend, so if you miss class a lot, you can just fill it in yourself :) looks like peewee hermon. but overall a good teacher
He's the best teacher I ever had. Loved both his classes, enrolled in one for next semester.
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.
professor twiggs is very helpful and understanding with great teaching skills.
Great professor! He makes things easy to understand. He uses class involvement alot, which makes the class not boring. Grading is alright and fair. You will have to write alot though. We had 2 in-class essays and 5 (easy) papers. Great guy! Take him, you wont regret it!
Great teacher, lovely material. And the setup is brilliant, lots of interaction. If you get a chance to take this class, do it. And he's so cute! ^^
He was tough when it came to grammer. He is a nice person!
Good choice
Great teacher he is also very easy. Just let him know that you are interested
may I just say that I LOVE PROFESSOR TWIGGS. Awesome class. You would be amazed at how much Everest comes up in everyday knowledge. I learned a lot and he is so adorable. Take him!

He is very clear, easy going.He is also funny.
He is funny, sarcastic teacher. He is very easy, and the essays are clear.I had fun in this class. There is a grammar test and then a grammar final aned about 6 essays. You will love him.
Mr. Twiggs was a good teacher but when he says he gives you extra credit don't believe him bc he told my class to go to a photoshoot and I did and he never gave us the extra credit bc if he did i would have gotten an "A" instead of a "B". But overall he was an excellent teacher!! Thanks Mr.Twiggs!!!
Prof. Twiggs was awesome. Very helpful and never made anyone feel dumb.
Good teacher, very clear. Writing assignments were easy to follow.
I took this class online. He is very slow grading and returning your essays, so learning from your mistakes hard. Out of the 7 essays, 4 of mine where graded and returned after the class was over. The grammar quizzs often grade wrong or not at all. He maybe good in person but I would not take him online.
I took this teacher online and he was great. Easy online class with assignments clearly outlined. Very nice man and very helpful. Take him-he's awesome.
very easy class but hard to take serious. he is almost always late for class. no book was needed. he is very helpful with writing your papers. i would take him again.
He was a great teacher. I took him online and I am not so good at english, though he helped me out a lot. I got a B.
Awesome teacher, I would recommend him to anyone! He's very helpful when you need him.
I highly recommend this professor as a student who knew nothing about essays. Now, I do. This was an interesting course and Prof. Twiggs responded promptly to every e-mail and inquiry I had. Good job...
he is amazing. FUN! and a really nice guy. HIs clas is easy
I love this teacher. he is truly amazing. fun, easy, extremely easygoing. you will love this guy. he is really easy to talk to and has an awesome sense of humor.
If you are not good at writing essays and grammar then do not take this class.I did not learn anything in this class. I will say that he does respond quickly to emails but that is about it.
Didnt learn much of anything. He is pretty strict on essays, so if your not a good writer or want to become a better writer, dont take this class.
Really awesome teacher. Hes funny and easygoing, willing to help. Take him if you can. He also grades really fair.
Very nice, not hard at all! You really don't learn much more than you did in your high school english class. If you are looking for an easy A this is your guy. He's cute too
Do not take this class online! He was on vacation and unavailable for nearly 2 weeks during the semester. All the while we would continue to post our discsn's, IF he posted them. He is very slow to return emails. Unclear announcements say nothing is due, double check! On the plus, no textbook to buy, and an easy class overall.
Took the class on-line. Would not advise it. Professor was not very available. Did not receive any grades until the week of the final. Grades very hard on grammar.
He is very nice. Easy work, very helpful. Smooth Class, Very Clear. I would definitely recommend him, although he is not a lenient grader.
perfect class. he is very enjoyable.
He's amazing! Very laid-back and likable. He's funny and really respects the students. The class is mostly turning in assignments - you don't learn a whole lot of new stuff - but he makes it FUN. He encourages class participation so by the end of the term you meet new people. If you want to ENJOY enc1101, TAKE HIM. :)
I had him for ENC1101 and enjoyed the experience, so I took him again for ENC1102 and wasn't dissapointed! He's a very good professor who will tell you where your periods and commas belong without being ugly about it.
Very helpful. Always gets back to students in a timely manner.
Prof. twiggs is so FUN!!! we did learn alot about Mt. Everest, and yes, we wrote a few essays, but his class is soooooo easy!!!! we worked in groups on a weekly basis, and he is very prompt about getting your grades back. i took him last semester and got an A!!!! he also gives extra credit opportunities!!!
Great online class. Prof Twiggs was very prompt to return emails. Format was 2 short papers, 1 research paper and weekly discussion board questions, bi-weekly quizzes straight out of Newsweek. He was easy to work with and accepted some late work.
very easy if you are good at english. You have no texbook for the class which saves money and you have quizes once a week which are open book(newsweek). You have like 2 papers and one reseach paper.The only con is that he doesnt grade your papers untill the end of the semester so you erally dont know what you did wrong.hes not too tough on gradin
I really liked him a lot . I mean he is an awesome teacher ! We only wrote like 6 or so essays. We never used our textbooks and you should not buy one !! Take this class!!!
He's great...i mean really!!! you barely use your text book!! He's easy to understand. He knows what he wants from his students. You write like six essays total!!! He's really easy! Very laid back. Trust Me.. TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!!!! He's awesome!! do not buy a text book because you wontone
He's a really fun guy, you can just tell he loves life. He wants to help with whatever you need help with, take him if you want to learn something and enjoy class.
He is the best! I bought the text book and never opened it so I wouldn't suggest buying one. But he is so easy, and his classes are actually kind of fun. He is kinda hot too.
Super easy class. I took it online and it was my easiest online class to date. You have to write about 2 papers then a research paper at the end. There is 1 quiz every week. Make sure you participate in the discussion boards. I reccomend this teacher for this class. I hate all English classes but, I got an A.
I'm sorry..I disagree with the other posts.He is not fast replying to emails or posting work that is due.If you like your grades in a timely manner,then don't bother with this class. He is nice,but not very helpful.I am not impressed.Alot of writing and a good class,but not the best professor.
He was a very good professor. The assignments were not hard at all. You just have to keep up with the discussion boards. He did take a long time to grade the papers and was late in posting his next assignments(Tests), but overall, his class was very easy. I particularly liked that we did not need to buy a book and only used his blog. The blog
hes good, but i dont like him.
Great teacher, very accommodating,grades easily, very forgiving of mistakes, willing to do makeups. Totally thumbs up highly recommended. Great Teacher and person.
This is the teacher to take if you don't like writing papers. He makes it fun. No textbook required, so that helps. I took it online. Easy A!
Great Professor! Wonderful online class. Very helpful. Takes a little while to get grades back but it's worth it. I would highly recommend taking this class!
If you need to boost your GPA and have a full load, take Twiggs. No book, All work from his blog. No sweat, highly recommended!
Very good Prof. Works with you on assignments, wants you to learn Enc, just not take the class. Uses non-fiction writings in a non-fictions writing class. Flexable with deadlines if asked.
Fun teacher for a fun and easy class.
Great teacher. boring topics though. we "learned" about everest the entire time and had to write 4-5 papers about everest. and read 2 books on everest... too much everest for me. but it was an fun class and the final research paper was fun (pick your own topic)
I would not recommend this class to anyone. This professor takes to long to grade papers and does not teach you anything. I got a B out of his class however he expects you to know how to write like a professional. when he grades he is very hard when it comes to your writting. Make sure you know all your grammer and then sum.
I do not recommend this professor,he is tough with grading and he does not teach you anything.Take some-one else if you want an A from this class
AMAZING TEACHHER...I HAVE HAD HIM FOR 2 SEMESTERS IN A ROW AND WILL CONTINUE..EASY A LONG AS YOU DO WHAT IS ASKED AND SHOW UP TOO CLASS!!!GREAT GUY THAT WILL WORK WITH YOU IN ANY CASE AT ALL!!!DONT PASS HIS CLASS UP...."AMAZING"!!!
Do not take this guy's class. He is hard on grading and I did not learn anything from his class. He expects you to write as a professional on your own.
amazing teacher...has a real passion for teaching. will work one on one with students, goes into depth of how to write essays, just show up to his class, has great discussions..reminds me of the english teahcer keating in dead poets society
hes funny and makes imteresting slide shows and teaches you well. but a tough grader so pay attention in class!
He is ridiculously hysterical and a joy to be his student! He makes learning fun!
If you are hesitant at all about ENC1102, Professor Twiggs is a true educator. He makes one feel welcome, comfortable,and encouraged. Which in turn allows you to enjoy the class and actual learn in the process. He is an excellent instructor and his class was very enjoyable.
Do your work well, turn assignments in on time, you will get an A. Turn in your work a month late, do a half-@ssed job, get a B. His class is a GPA booster, if you are not great at English and need a good grade, this is the professor for you. If you actually want to learn something for your tuition dollars, that is another matter entirely.
good class
Real good class. Not hard just do the work and you will pass. Not a hard teacher at all. Very fun class.
There's no textbook to buy. Instead, he uses articles from his blog for discussions and paper topics, which are very interesting. I took this class with a different professor and the textbook was extremely boring. I took Twiggs' class online and earned an A. MLA guideline he gives is very useful for papers. Do the work and an A is obtainable.
When calling to ask about the policy for taking a make-up exam, he replied that "Even though everyone's responses sound valid - that doesn't make it any less of a pain in the ass." This type of language is inappropriate in a teacher-student relationship. I received only "canned" criticism for my papers, and no positive feedback.
I read many comments here and thought he would be an easy A. I have always had above average grades in English and never thought it would be an issue but I am lucky if I pass this class this semester and I know most of my classmates this semester feel the same. Watch out. Hes not the breeze that some of the comments below would suggest.
Based on what I read here, I thought this teacher would be easy. NOT!! I don't want to follow anyone on Twitter and it should not be part of the course. And having to take quizzes on his blog was a pain. What he calls interesting is his opinion, certainly not mine. The final research paper was a nightmare!
This guy is awesome! No professor has ever helped me as much as Prof Twiggs has assisted me. He is more than accommodating, if you fail, you are a complete idiot. Do you work, show up, and have a blast. Great Professor!
Twiggs has been great to me for two semesters now, and I wish he taught more classes there. Even after I'm done with his class, he still helps me with anything I need, even papers for other classes. If you want to learn to be a better writer, take Twiggs. If you're trying to skip by and plagiarize, skip over and let someone else have your spot.
Very hard. I took his ENC1101 and it was awesome. I decided to take ENC1102 but it was very hard.
Syllabus is a little hard to follow as it is done in 3 week increments, not weekly. Takes about 2 days to answer Emails for online class. Homework is easy though. Lots of writing. Make sure you are on point with your writings for the timed writing. NO GROUP PROJECT for online class! The book required is really small and should be cheap.
Don't take this professors online courses. I didn't learn anything about how to write non-fiction. This course felt like busy work. Cocky responses. Little interaction. No feedback. No rough draft review except by peers. Discussion board topics sucked.
This Prof was funny but very sarcastic and he went on vacation in the middle of the semester. He doesn't hand back papers or tell you what you did wrong on your paper. I didn't learn hardly anything in this class. DO NOT take this guy unless you don't mind teaching yourself.
THIS PROFESSOR SUCKS!!!! He doesn't help you AT all. He doesn't even teach. He has the students do presentations every week to get out of it. He doesn't give you feedback on how to improve, and he makes you feel like an idiot.
Twiggs is by far the best English teacher I've ever had! I thought he was a funny guy and his lectures were very clear on what he wants. There is a lot of writing but you pick your best two essays for him to grade, a mandatory description and process essay/presentation, and a grammar midterm and final.
Mostly this class used blogs for quizes as well as discussion board posts. There were three papers there were graded pretty tough, as well as two midterm essays that were timed.
Only take his online class if you are good at figuring out things for yourself. He does not give feedback on papers and is very sarcastic and treats you like you're an idiot if you ask a question. I learned nothing in his class. He's much too interested in blogging on Twitter and running than teaching any type of English writing skills.
I found him very helpful and interesting. It was an online class. He corresponed with us and was accessible.
Great teacher all around!
Took his online class. I have taken many online classes, this was the worst. He took days to reply to emails, weeks to grade papers and when I asked a general question in a phone conversation, he talked down to me and rushed me off the phone. He could not explain how papers are graded. Assigments sometimes posted on Wed and due Fri. Dont take!
Does not know how to teach! Maybe he's different in person, but online, he is MIA always! Takes forever to respond to emails, submits grades late. Has you take an exam even though you don't know your previous assignment grades so that you could correct your issues. Not my first OC class either, so I DO have something to compare it to.
I took him for enc1101 online. It's not an easy course... But as long as you complete the assignments and stay on time and don't get behind you will do fine. He is really good at responding to questions.
TERRIBLE CLASS! He is slow to respond to questions/inquiries or doesn't respond at all. The class is almost over and my midterm still isn't graded. He doesn't teach his objectives listed, he uses INSITE which is NOT listed under course materials. His grades aren't equal to his rubric (had minor grammatical errors, said he loved my topic, got a D)
you will write a lot of papers in 1101 with Prof Twiggs but he is really fair and keeps your attention during class. He helps you improve your papers so as long as you do the work you should get the grade you want!
Very disconnected from teaching, not involved at all. His Blackboard is completely disorganized and in a constant state of disarray. I can honestly say that my classmates nor myself will have learned anything after taking this class.
I totally agree with everyone else on here. If u want to learn something, do not take this class. class has one more week. i still have no clue wht grades are from week 3. u do not use books. u use his blogs. if he would stop running and tweeting so much he might get work done. very sarcastic when answering questions. waste of time.
You really have to keep track of what is due when. Also, he didn't like to give 100% for papers. There are a total of three in-class essays and two timed writings and also 10 discussion questions and one extra credit discussion question. Over all I did well in this class which surprised me. I would recommend this class!
The online class was great. All you need to do was stay on target with the class. The material was clear and if more clarity was needed right away, he was just a phone call away. The essays was mainly about life experiences which was easy to write. At the end of the semester he gave everyone the opportunity to make a better grade. Great Prof.!!
Tough at first, got a little easier as class progressed. 5-6 essays due and 1 timed writing and a short story as well as discussions.
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.
Took his course online, nice professor, English isn't my fav subject - I didn't love it anymore after his class but his course is certainly passable.
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
Acutely enjoyed a English class. He made it fun and relatable.
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!
He is a difficult grader. Not to mention he does talk a lot about himself, I would rather focus on the material more than you.
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
He is a very good professor he respond to emails very fast and he has a really good personality wich makes the lecture more interesting.
I took professor twiggs for comp 1 and I and taking him again this semester for text and writing. he is such a great teacher I love how he tells him students how his personal life. the writing assignments were very fun we got to choose what we wanted to write about which I love and we had a fun presentation assignment at the end!
I can't recommend Professor Twiggs enough for 1102. He is super understanding, very personable, and his lectures are few but informative. He clearly enjoys what he does and he's overall an awesome professor and great person.
He's good, easy professor, light work load. If you are looking for a creative writing class, take this.
I'm just going to cut to the chase. He's a very tough grader, won't give 100%, lazy lectures, not good if you want an A. will push grade back to end of semester at any minor inconvenience.
Was clear about what he wanted in essays. Normal grader for English professor. Video lessons made you feel like you were in person. He responds quickly to emails. would definitely recommend him for any english class.
Professor Twiggs makes the class engaging with personal anecdotes. The writing assignments are fun and flexible. Attendance is mandatory, but he allows live stream options. Using Unstuck AI and the Purdue OWL helped me succeed in this class.
Worst class i ever took. Hands down
He was incredibly judgmental. He didn't give constructive criticism until my finaI. I went to his online meetings to get constructive criticism and even then he was incredibly rude and snobbish. Nothing pleased him at all.
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.
Probably one of the worst teachers I have ever had.
