a great professor! very nice and concerned about students and papers aren't that hard. recommend anyone to take him
Great english instructor... I have learned a great deal in his class.. He makes classes fun.. lots of extra credit
Love this professor. Extremely nice and willing to help and he tries to make class interesting. I would definitely take him again!
Very good teacher...take his class u wont regret it...
Come to class. Do the homework, it's very simple and participate in the discussions. Also, the extra credit is incredibliy interesting. He's a sweet guy and deserves respect from students. So be nice and he will be nice.
This is a very easy class. He is super nice and funny. I highly recommend taking this class. You will learn a lot and not be destroyed by stress or having to deal with a crappy professor.
Very nice professor!CLASS IA ABSOLUTELY RECOMENED TO TAKE!Papers are easy to write and you can rewrite if you don't like your grade.He is very concerned and love his students!!!
GREAT professor, definitely take him if you want an easy A. He's very nice and is easy going about turning in assignments late.
Best teacher I've had all year. He's very understanding about turning in late assignments and gives you to option to rewrite if you get a grade you weren't happy with.
SO disorganized! Im taking this class online and had to email him my first essay but he NEVER graded it. i sent him numerous emails but he never responded any regarding my first essay. I asked for a meeting and he hasnt responded to that email either. Hes easy but he does not put in ANY time after class and does not care about his students.
he was my favorite teacher ALLL YEAR!!!!! definately very understand and super helpful. if you needed anything he was always willing to help. i actually enjoyed going to his class for the most part. and he was very lenient on papers and attendence. he is very fair!
Easy class. 4 essays are the majority of your grade. Peer reviews count tho and some lil extra assignments he gives. Overall easy, but for some reason hard to get an A. I got an A tho :D Oh and you have like 3 weeks of no classes in the semester. AWESOME
Wow best teacher ever. Basically if you fail, you just didn't do the work, which isn't that tough
Easy class, all assignments are essays. Teacher is very helpful, makes classes of english interesting. Recommend, easy A
hes the best english teacher ive ever had!! theres 4 essays and some side assignments. if u do bad on the essays he lets u rewrite them for a better grade. TAKE HIM!!
Great teacher, funny, keeps the class light and interesting. Just four small essays and some side work. comes to class with jokes and fun facts. Easy A recommend him
funny, intelligent professor and entertains the class with jokes and fun facts. Four easy essays and some side work but.. really nice. Easy A lets you re do one esssay for a better grade.
He is one of the best english teachers everrr! Super nice and extremely helpful. Class isn't boring and goes by pretty fast. He lets you re-write one of your essays for a better grade. You chose the topic for your essays so you can write about things that you are interested in. Would strongly recommend taking his class!
Prof Elmore has got to be the best English teacher @ FIU. He makes class fun, interesting and relevant. I highly recommend him :)
This is my best friend now. wish i had 1101 with him also but still the greatest teacher fiu has to offer. wish he taught all my classes lol
He is a very easy going professor, and he really makes you feel at ease.. he is great
Do your work, participate, and get ready to learn without having to deal with the long tedious "learning process." This guy is an english teacher sent to us from the gods. He is the angel of english.
Listen to these comments, he is amazing! I literally had 4 people fighting for the last spot in my class. Very easy and very understanding. Such a cutie, wish I had him every semester.
What can I say about professor, one word AWESOME this professor is very easy going. He's fun to be around U enjoy his class participation it's really fun.
easy and flexible. lets you redo assignments.gives extra credit. lets you miss up to 13 class days.
Very good professor. He lets u redo essays if your grade is low. He is very understanding and even makes time to play basketball with his students.A must take!!
BEST English teacher someone could ask for! Re-do essay, helps SO much with your grade! So nice and sweet. Wants to know his students and make sure they pass the class, and understand what they are doing. TOP CHOICE!
Such a nice guy and so helpful! Essays were pretty easy and he gives you a chance to redo them. Very clear on what he wants, so be sure to show up to class! Allows you to miss class 5 times, so that's a plus. If you're taking ENC 1102, YOU MUST take this guy! Will not regret it!
I love professor elmore! I had him for the summer term. he's so nice and he always starts the class with funny grammar jokes. he may get off topic sometimes, but he still knows his stuff. I encourage anyone to take his class!
He is such an amazing professor. He is funny and very helpful. He knows exactly what he is talking about and the class is very fun. Elmore allows you to redo 1 paper and his essays are fun to write. I loved his class.
He is horrible. If you don't write the way he wants you to write then is wrong. The only thing good about him is that he lets you redo the papers. He makes students make the assignment because he doesn't know anything. The class is very frustrating!!!
Take it.Easy. Re-do 1 paper. No midterm or final. 3 papers. Very easy to get along with. He loves basketball.
Great professor, very helpful, cares about his students.
Wonderful professor. Take him!!!! 3 papers and a final reflection. Allows one rewrite. I took this class online so there were 25 discussion posts worth 1 point each. Making 25% of your grade. Easy class, easy professor. Take him!
Really easy class. He is very understanding and easy going! 3 papers and a reflection. Lets you re-write one. Just keep up with the homework and you'll get an A! Recommend to anyone.
Easy Class, professor is a decent guy. I Highly recommend him.
Real easy class, its like impossible to fail. He grades very easily. He doesnt give much classwork or homework other than 3 essays which is the majority of your grade. I recommend him highly, great professor.
Elmore is nice but hard grader.His comments on the first draft are not that good or helpful. His class is fun though. Take him
Overall, a very easy and chill class. He is really nice and cool. His essays are not hard and he is very leniant.
Real cool guy, if he's available GET HIM
I took him for both 1101 and 1102 ONLINE. I got an A both semesters. He is crystal clear with what he wants, gives great feed back, gives extra-credit (although you won't need it) and allows a re-write. The book he asks for is mandatory for the discussion posts and help a lot with the essays. He is awesome! :)
Great professor! he cares for students and he is always available to help. we all enjoy this english course.
Good but a tough grader.
really easy class, but he has a huge problem, he does not stay on top of things. You can do all the work correctly and he might grade you incorrectly. you have to constantly be on top of him after you turn in your work to make sure he grades it correctly. kind of annoying but the class is worth it
Follows the syllabus~ lets you turn in late work until the end of the semester. Very interesting class and discussions. All papers (4) tie together making it a whole lot easier. Uses the book for online discussions, available during office hours for help. Flexible deadlines if you ask
His assignments are very straight forward. His grading is fair. He's super laid back and tries to help you and give you as much time as possible. Most of his assignments have reasonable deadlines and are easy.
This class is very easy. If your reading this, I would highly recommend you take this class. The majority of ENC professors are easy, but Elmore is the easiest. Just do your work, don't miss more than 5 classes, do the discussions, and write solid essays. Lets you rewrite 1 essay, and the final exam is an online discussion that take 10 minutes. A++
Professor Elmore makes this class a lot easier than what it actually is. He assigns just the right sequence of chapters to read before each project. He provides really effective feedback with key tips to improve your writing and grade. Also, he gives tons of sample papers and videos to analyze and review in class. One of the best professors ever!
He is an excellent teacher, one of the best at FIU. The class is not hard, and you can learn more than you can imagine. He is very willing to help you in everything, and answer all your questions with the best will. He is a very happy and friendly teacher. However, he is very strict with the first papers, but then everything becomes lighter.
Overall he is a great professor, his syllabus is to the point and he gives you chances on improving your grades, in my experience I was 1.1 points away from an A- and I had done every possible extra credit possible and he wouldnt give it to me which sucked tremendously so thats the only reason why I didnt like him.
Very easy class. Online discussions, Letter/ Memo, Resume, 3 Group projects (in which the professor let's you use the class time to work outside of the class to work on them). He gives great feedback. The class is basically teaching you how to write professionally and how to work effectively in a group. Would take this professor again.
Amazing teacher. Yes, tons of work but worth it! Only negative is his last paper is worth 50% of the final class grade. I got A's on all of them and a B+ on the last one and my grade down went down a lot. But amazing, amazing, teacher. If you message him, he will answer and help you out!
best professor ever!!he is really helpful!!
No need for advice. Take this man. Do your work and and you'll be on your way.
This is by faaarrr the best teacher I have ever taken! He is such an amazing teacher and he is super sweet and really want to help his student succeed and make the class easy and enjoyable without bombarding you with work! Homework were just easy discussions and we had to do a blog, a powerpoint and one final essay thats it; NO TEST! JUST TAKE HIM
Professor Elmore has the ability to teach in a way that you don't even realize you are learning! He's got a great sense of humor and a nice disposition, and will give you many chances to do better and improve your grades. I'd definitely look for the classes he teaches in the future. I'm happy I took his class!
Professor Elmore is the best! There are 3 major projects and weekly discussions. He even allows you to redo an assignment if you didn't get a good grade. Very understanding and kind, you have to take him!
Amazing professor. He's a really easy grader. As long as you turn in the assignments, you'll pass. He's a very nice guy, and is really helpful during office hours. He knows what he's teaching and makes it interesting while connecting with all students. Excellent professor!
I decided to take ENC1102 with D. Elmore after taking ENC1101 with him, a class I enjoyed taking and in which I learned a lot. He's a fair grader who values class participation. He would give you another opportunity as long as you had a real problem and it shows you are trying your best. I'm looking forward to take more of his classes in the future
Every teacher should be like him
He is definitely the best teacher I've taken at FIU. If you need help, he is always available through skype or email and is willing to help you with whatever you need unlike most others... The class is not a hard class, and as long as you can keep up with the pace, you should be fine. You can easily get an A if you do all of his assignments.
Dr. Elmore is truly amazing. You have to be on top of your work but if you're absent for even a whole 2 weeks, he will extend the time if you email him. This class is TRULY amazing and his essay prompts are based on today's news. TAKE HIM YOU WONT REGRET IT!!
This course is really only about 3 types of essays which are on easy topics and not so lengthy. Elmore is cool and so nice. Gives extensions if you need it and an easy grader with good feedback. I took the hybrid class. An easy discussion or two to do every week. Attendance is extra points. I watched him play basketball for extra credit lol
He's honestly just the best teacher ever overall. He's caring, helpful and respectful. He'll make you laugh alot with his corny jokes but you also learn too. Attendance won't affect your grade that much but you have to do all of your assignments. It's honestly an easy A. The group projects are easy too, just put in effort and do your part.
Took him fall 2018 my first semester at FIU. He was super easy! honestly, if you fail that's all on you. He gives you until the end of the semester to rewrite all your assignments and get a higher grade. He's really into volunteer work so be prepared to be involved but he subs a class day for those events. Will need the book
Professor Elmore, is a great professor. He gives you a chance to resubmit the assignment if you want to improve your grade. He gives a lot of discussions but they super easy. He also is big into community service so be prepared to participate because you might need it for the final assignment.
What an amazing professor, he is unbelievably nice and understanding. If you fail a class with him then yikes because he gives you plenty of opportunities to make up grades and improve your work. He loves community service and helping others, and you can tell he loves what he does. If you get the chance, take him for a class.
Dr Elmore is fantastic. He's able to condense 6 week mini-terms in a way that gets all the material in, without feeling like a living hell. He gives tons opportunities for improvement (rewrites, extra credit), and really helps you grow your skills as a writer. He's a very kind person, understanding of any situations that may come up. 100% take him!
Professor Elmore is the best. The class was an easy "A" and he was always clear on what was expected and super chill. I took him online. TAKE HIM!
Great professor for ENC 1102. There are weekly discussions and a few essays. He is very caring and I would highly recommend this class!
Darrel is amazing- super kind-hearted and compassionate, you can tell he really cares for his students. My only complaint is that there was a bit of confusion at the beginning of the class with the pair posts but that is it. The BULK of this class is discussion posts. LOTS OF THEM. 2 to 3 a week. If you stay on top of them, you will receive an A.
Dr. E is awesome! I took him for an English class and got an A+ without breaking a sweat. His assignments are really easy to do and very fun too. He is not a harsh grader. As long as you submit a paper with everything he asked for, you will receive full credits. He is also very kind, and gives students opportunities to catch up with their late work
Absolutely amazing professor. Took him in the Spring and I have used what he taught me for every class since. He truly made me a better writer. His feedback is helpful and honest, and he is not a tough grader at all. There is quite a bit of work, but it is all actually useful and not hard at all.
If you have child, have a full time job and are planning to get another classes choose another professor. This professor ask you to complete three tasks every Wed. and 3 task every Sat. total of 6 task per week. Definitely this is overwhelming class.
Mr. Elmore is a very nice professor! He always answers your emails quickly and he loves volunteering, so there was a volunteering project for our class. Lots of super easy discussions and a 5 projects which were relatively easy. This class is a good one to take if you want to learn but not feel pressured.
The most amazing professor you will EVER meet!!! Loves volunteer work and you will be doing an assignment on it. Discussion posts are easy. The other assignments are also easy. Gives great feedback & responds to your emails quickly! He is passionate to teach you important skills you need for the work field. He's caring and overall a great person!
Great professor, 14 discussions (all easy and lead up to the assignments) graded by completion. 4 assignments, 2 of which are done in groups and NO EXAMS or quizzes! Take him, he really cares and gives great feedback!
Elmore was one of the best English professors/teachers I have ever had. The workload is very light and the feedback is very good. I strongly recommend taking his class.
I cannot stress this enough... take him. He is super chill and accepts late work. Rated it 2/5 for difficulty because you obviously have to write papers and it takes a bit of time but he's the easiest teacher you'll take. easy grader. funny. don't know what else you want
All of the good reviews about Elmore are true! He is an amazing guy and has a great attitude and hilarious comedic side. This class was super chill and easy, would definitely take him again. If you have a choice TAKE HIM! His class fills up quickly so don't think twice!
Amazing professor. I loved my class because he made everyone feel so comfortable. Take Him!!!!!!
VERY invested in community service - don't take his class if you don't want to volunteer. Taught a unit on resumes/cover letters by telling us how he never wrote a good enough resume/cover letter to get a job and only got a teaching job by getting an old friend to give him a recommendation... Pretty useless feedback but assignments weren't hard.
3 textbooks you're expected to read cover to cover. Big on community service and required to do a blog about participating in a volunteer project. Had a couple interesting assingments (short fiction story about environmental issue) and most work was pretty easy. Interesting class but could have gone without the group projects & pushing volunteering
Good class! Very understanding if you cannot make it or have to turn in late work. Lots of easy/quick research and summaries but thats it. About 3 assignments per week. There is a textbook required but for few homework assignments,
I saw other reviews saying he was big volunteer service and made a whole project about it, he told us that they had changed the course so maybe that's why I did none of it. Professor Elmore was always very caring and always tried to encourage participation and healthy discussions. He's a cool guy and hosts an easy going class, for sure recommend.
Professor Elmore is awesome! A very dynamic class with lots of feedback and fun projects to work with. Would recommend to any one! Very personable and his volunteering commitment is heartwarming! TWO very enthusiastic thumbs up!
He's a great professor really recommend him the only thing that I would absolutely care about from all the grades is the final paper but u have all semester to do it and you do assignments that are related to it to will help u. There will be a few quizzes that are super easy, the assignments r not hard some of them will just take some time to do.
I took him hybrid and I will say this guy is probably the best option for enc1101 his course honestly isn't very hard and although its a little bit of busywork he tries his best to liven up class and is really responsive to any situation you might have or just feedback in general. I'd definitely take him again if I had the chance.
Very caring professor with a lenient late work policy. I was behind on a lot of assignments and he reached out to me to check on whether I would be able to complete enough in time to pass. He also gave helpful feedback and genuinely useful advice on job applications and interviews. Great learning experience all around; I definitely recommend him.
Literally the best professor you will ever take. The most kind and genuine person you can meet. Will lay down exactly what you need to do and even tell you what parts to skip. If you put any bit of effort you will get at least a B
Professor Elmore is amazing! If you're thinking about taking English, take his class. He genuinely cares about his students, and the work is mostly done in class. Very few homework assignments, only one project at the end of the semester. No final exam. Highly recommend taking him!!
Best professor ever! He's super understanding and the class is very easy and I feel like I actually did learn a lot. The hw is pretty easy it's all revolved around writing a web article that counts as a final. His grading is good and he lets you make up work. Best teacher I've had so far!
Easiest ENC teacher, gives you a lot of space between assignments and allows you to rest. Super nice and very straightforward.
Amazing teacher! It's the easiest class ever with him as a professor. Take him, you won't regret it!
Some might be discouraged by the amount of reading in this course, but you can get away with skimming the readings. The professor is super nice and understanding. I recommend taking this course. You have to stay on top of your work and participate. It's an easy A and very interesting.
such a nice professor he really cares about his students and their success. Class was easy we spent the whole semester compiling research on a topic of our choice and turning it into a web article. attendance not mandatory but he offers extra credit for those who do go. No final or midterm.
Absolutely amazing professor, and even more amazing class. I think every person should take professional and technical writing because we learn proper cover letters and resumes. And my professional writing, whether sending emails or letters, is a million times better than it was before taking this class. Highly, highly recommend.
Professor Elmore is incredibly kind, clear, and flexible. The class is hybrid, one day in person, one day online. No busy work, just meaningful assignments building toward the final project. He respects students' time and truly cares. Attendance not mandatory but offers extra credit for those who go. No final or midterm. 100% Reccomend him.Easy A.
super easy prof and attendance isn't a huge worry it's just more like he'll give you extra points maybe but take this course easiest class ever
Amazing professor. Super chill and lenient with attendance if your sick or mental health issues. Grades fairly and countless opportunities for extra credit. Definitely take him.
Overall, he is an exceptional professor who truly cares about his students growth and success. I'm extremely grateful to have taken his class and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a professor who is both inspiring and genuinely invested in their learning.
