Take this guy if you get the chance I loved his class he made it fun and was even cool enough to come have drinks after our final in celebration of the end of school.

Pick this teacher if your going with english comp II, his knowledge base that he shares is almost unfair at the low price of admission. Very VERY intelligent, but at the same time VERY down to earth and in tune with students needs. The class is easy if you payattention to his insightsand instruction

what a guy. kept me interested. Well spoken, kind, very intelligent, insightful and helpful. You will learn a lot about life in this class.

I agree that he knows what he is talking about, and is very concise and clear about what he is looking for from his students. I would definately take this professor again.

It has been an absolute delight for me to go to class; I feel like I'm actually gaining some knowledge here. Oh, I know I'm not supposed to have dirty thoughts about a professor but... Yeah, good class!

coe's a savage but it's a good class. take notes, go to class, turn your papers in on time and you'll do fine. last few weeks can be a bit stressful because of c-test, b and a papers all in the last 3 weeks or so. i learned more in this class than all of high school combined.

Coe is a very intelligent man; you would think that a good thing but b/c he is smart he assumes that his students are on the same level with him in analyzing Literature. I learned at lot from him, but English is not my best subject so the class can be difficult at times. I would take him again if I had the chance.

He's amazing. His classes are always extremely interesting and well thought out. He gives help when needed and is my fav teacher so far.

He apparently assigns more papers than the other teachers. I've heard other people have already taken their c test but we're just turning in our, supposedly, last paper.

I took Dr. Coe for 1301 and 1302, and this was an exceptional professor. There are about 5 essays in 1302, plus the C test, B paper, and A paper. Very clear, and for homework we had to read a short story for every single class to discuss. If you're bad at writing he's great at getting you on track. I really recommend this professor!

He's awesome! I totally miss his class... Be ready to work your butt off... that's all.

Pretty tough grader. I thought I was a great writer up until this class, then I got even better. He is pretty good, sometimes a bit harsh, but I think if you are serious about being a good writer his class is a good one to take.

I've gained more from Coe, than any other ACC profs. His class is challenging but you really learn alot. I thought I couldn't make it but i did. He really helps you think out side the box.

Be prepared to write several papers and attend class. During the first weeks he'll give out alot of handouts and will quiz on them.Following his guidelines in your papers is a MUST. He does have a strong opinion- so don't take his class if you're easily insulted. One-on-one he seems less harsh.Beginning at the CTest,his grading criteria gets easier

Very intimidating, strong opinoned, tough on grading, if your just trying to get core corriculm out of the way, i suggest another proffesor. Class is very intersting, he makes you think about stuff youve never paid attention to, but if your major isnt english, i dont suggest him.

Prof Coe. Is an excellent Prof. After being out of school 20 years I had a difficult time in both his 1301+1302 classes.He helped me out more than an average prof would because he is not average.He taught me how to become a better writer even though I am not majoring in Eng. I will admit it was tough for me but I squeaked out C's on both classess.

Dr. Coe is great. I went to class 3/4 of the time. I took it with my friend last semester.Dr. Coe took my papers in late, and accepted my "c" test. He helped me everytime I went to his office and went through the short stories with me to help me understand them. He is very sarcastic, and funny at the same time. Advise anyone to take compII with COE

Coe is an awesome professor, I wouldn't recommend him to someone who wants an easy A. He's a great professor to take if you want to improve your writing skills.

arrogant and challenging. If you are offended easily, stupid or a cheater don't take this class. Sometimes amusing but again, very arrogant.

demands only the best. he raises the bar when it comes to writing. you want to excell.

He was great!

Very difficult professor, but he will teach you a lot. I loved this class, but he can be irritating at times. He thinks he knows everything, and if you don't agree with his take on things he gets bent out of shape. If you put in the work you can get an A. Just don't think you can get an A by showing up. Every week we had a huge reading assignm

He is amazing. Love him to death.Take him Take him . Take him.

What can I say, he is all that is man, he is all that is teacher, he is god, he is Coe.

Best professor I've ever had. He has so much to offer to those who listen.

If you're serious about literature, you won't find a better professor. He may be tough, but he knows how to teach and offers so much!

took him for comp 1. He's pretty cool you learn some stuff but hasn't helped my writing. Other classes have success but no one in my class has. Pretty tough to make an A.

Great professor with high standards of excellence, and a low threshold for immaturity. Don't take this class if you don't want to read and analyze literature...it's kind of the point. Testing is difficult and he wants LOTS of detailed recall. He expects that you can write at the college Sophomore level. Not watered down education for slackers.

He gave great lectures and gave the opportunity to be creative in the writing process which is a big plus in my book. His quizzes were extremely hard but in the end after almost everybody did poorly on the majority of the quizzes he dropped them all together. Over all I had a great time in his class, he did make English Comp fun.

He is a great teacher but he doesn't mess around. His class was very hard for as I don't handle paper writing well. If writing sucks for you find another prof. If writing is your thing, you'll love him. I learned a lot from him in the end!

Has to be the first ACC professor that ever really made me respect him. Yes, he's strict. He has very strong opinions and sometimes he comes off as a little arrogant, but he is a man that knows exactly what he's doing. If you just want to go through painlessly, don't choose him. If you want actual substance in your class, go Coe.

Coe is a good professor but he is very challenging. Do not take this class unless you are ready to work hard.

I was worried about this class based on reviews here, but I am VERY happy my schedule would not allow a change (made an A and enjoyed it). Yes, you have to read. Yes, you have to write. Yes, you have to do both effectively and at a level expected from a college student. Coe wants you to demonstrate actual thought, not turn in book reports.

Heard many complaints about Dr. Coe during my semester in his class. He is a tough teacher and he does have an attitude but he is the best prof I have had so far. Very opinionated and highly sarcastic. His lectures are full of dry humor that I found pretty entertaining. I enjoyed this class my final grade was an A.

More importantly, he knew that GPAs don't typically transfer from a Community College. So, if you get chance to take his class and you?re smart, then I hope this rating will be carried on by future ?C? and above students. I give Professor Coe a [sic] A+.

I took Professor Coe back in 2006. Honestly, he was the first good professor I had. I failed his class the first time and got a "C" the second. He is the first professor I was able to build a somewhat personal student-teacher type relationship with. He pushed me and I'm not just talking about attempting to 'master' English....

Professor Coe is willing to explain things and forces you to think. He is very arrogant, very demanding, very strict. He will not respond to emails ever or post grades on blackboard. Not very many items counts for a grade, and we have already started on the second paper, not knowing how we did or how he grades from the first.

Coe is pretty tough. He is a very intelligent person and has a lot to teach you. The class ended up being fun and rewarding toward the end. Just tough it out - you will learn a lot from his class and what you experience.

Dr. Coe is an amazing teacher. He is not easy, but last time I checked we were all in college, right? He cares about his students and is willing to help if you have the guts to approach him in his office. E-mail is useless, but then again somethings just can't be taught in 2 - 3 sentences. Go see him and learn something!

Wonderful teacher, extremely smart. Would definitely recommend him if you're up for a challenge.

Honestly, I disliked him while I was in his class. It wasn't until afterwards I realized how much I learned in his class. He's fun to listen to and always has a witty remark. Some other comments claimed he doesn't back up his grade; he will, but you have to ask him. In retrospect he, by a long shot, is the best professor I've had thus far.

Very cool teacher. You can tell he loved his job. However, he seemed to expect you to love literature as much as he does. Class discussions are awesome if you get involved.

Currently in his class. Coe expects you to know literature! He doesn't believe in multiple choice, so quizzes are going to be fill in the blank(HARD). So he reviews your 1000 word papers telling you what to fix, and then you correct it and turn it in where he then marks your paper wrong on other parts.paper grades so far: C C/D and B-

Even though this class is pretty difficult, Coe gives you the tools you need in order to do great in his class. Without a doubt the best teacher I've had.

Very good professor. Anytime you get a prof that really loves what he does, and you're ready to learn, you will soar. Dr. Coe gives you every opportunity to make an A. The rough draft corrections are invaluable. They will add a full letter grade to your paper so turn them in. I would absolutely take him again.

Dr. Coe loves his job! I enjoyed his class a great deal, bit English isn't my cup of tea so therefore the class was hard for me. After his class I feel like I've learned a lot from him and about time management with all the essays.

Coe is a good teacher. He's VERY strict! Like's everything done HIS way. But as long as you do what he says, and stay on his good side, you'll do just fine. It was hard to get an A, but the class isn't terribly difficult as long as you DO THE WORK! I learned alot from him and he's very much like a university teacher. Which is a GOOD thing!

Coe is VERY strict on his reading schedule. Make sure you read the story(ies) more than twice. Yes, it is alot of work, but it's what you need to do in order to make a good grade! He gives you pop quizzes if he feels like the class hasn't read the story. Which are short answer. So be prepared. He teaches the material very well and gives you a bible

Lectures are good.Gives you everything you need. Hard Grader. Not a very nice guy (cusses a lot in class). He have high expectations-expects students to write a well-college paper.Reading schedule is strict. Stay on his good side or he'll pick on you the rest of class.does not trust people.He don't like excuse.

Knows his stuff, very good at what he does. But not best for a beginning intro class. Very hard and a bit too critical. Best for advanced classes. Still over all knowledgeable and perfect for the advanced classes =)

Dr. Coe's English Comp.II is very hard. This is not a blow off class! He is, however, very helpful and gives you a 2 chapter manual (that he wrote) on how to analyze the short stories. His quizzes are easy if you put in the hours to study and actually read. He is a tough grader but if you try your best and give effort, he gives partial credit.

He is a difficult professor but if you are expecting to not learn in college, then you shouldn't be in school. Otherwise, he is extremely knowledgeable and can help you refine your skills in deductive and analytical reading immensely.

Prof Coe can across very harsh but once you get to know him he is just passionate about teaching. Ask him for help and you will do wonderful. Utilize his office hours, he is much more supportive when he sees a student is putting forth effort.

WONDERFUL Teacher. You will work hard, but if you ask for help he will help you. Be sure to utilize office hours.

Dr. Coe is the best English teacher I've ever had. I had him for Comp I and now again for Comp II, I will take any class he gives...he's worth all the extra hours & strict rules! But it is my strong suggestion that you don't take him if you're looking for a blow-off class!

Dr. Coe is a brilliant mind. In his class you will learn tons about analyzing short stories. His office hours are a must, but if you use them he takes that into consideration when grading. I revised each paper once before turning in and again after he grades. Made a B. Highly recomend if English is a big part of your major

Not a class for the feint of heart. He lays out what he wants, and you have to do it. Flexible paper subjects, but he will grade honestly and without coddling you. Has offered revision opportunities, but no EC. Be prepared to go in to class and office hours for help, as it will bolster your grade. Best for natural writers, not those who struggle.

Amazing prof. Any grade obtained in this class will be earned. He doesn't use e-mail, but he is great about being available during his office hours. Only downside... when canceling a class, he does so via a note on the door. And when you drive 45 minutes each way for the class, that can be kind of a pain.

I wouldn't recommended a fresh out of high school student take Dr. Coe's class, UNLESS you have extremely thick skin. He comes across as rude and demeaning. However,if you go to his office hours he can be very helpful and pleasant. I think he just likes students that go the extra mile, and has no time for anyone else.

He was an awesome professor. Yes be willing to work very hard on your assignments. With him there are not perfect papers, & be prepared to make corrections on your paper. MAKE SURE YOU ATTEND CLASS and use his office hours given. He is a nice and intelligent professor that wants to help you as long as you want to help yourself.

Awesome professor that wants to help you as long as you want to help yourself. Be prepared to work and attend class. Use the office hours to get great tips on how he wants assignments to be done.

Very passionate about literature and writing, so much so that it is almost a distraction as he goes on tangents. However, Coe was very fair, helpful and understanding. While his grading can be rather subjective, if you do exactly as he says, take his advice on everything and are not an idiot, you should have no problem getting an A.

I thought Dr. Coe was a great professor. Some people have said that it is impossible to get an A but that isn't true. Just don't expect to get an A for a paper that isn't an A paper.

I love this professor! He changed my life!!!!!

English is not my native language, but Professor Coe helped me tremendously to succeed in his class. He required a healthy balance between following structure, guidelines and freedom of ideas. My writing greatly improved under his guidance. Wonderful teacher !

Dr. Coe is so awesome. My writing skill was significantly improved when I took this class. Working hard and dropping by his office frequently will make the class easier.

He's the prof you want to take if you're transferring or if you have a genuine interest in English literature. He is always in his office helping students so go to him for help and he will really really help you get your essay score up. Such a great prof LOOK FOR SHORT STORIES ONLINE. DON'T BUY TEXTBOOK

This guy ultimately taught me how to become a better writer. If you take his class, you will write, write, and write some more. Papers are due every week, and you will be expected to read and analyze short stories or novels. He's a fantastic teacher and will go in depth with you about what he's looking for in a paper. Comes off tough, but cares.

Prof. Coe's class was one of my first taken at ACC. It was challenging, entertaining, and a class I enjoyed attending. The material was exciting so I would have liked more assignments. I loved listening to him lecture. He is hilarious. If you take him, you will have his reading and writing guidelines to look forward to. Inspirational.

I took English 2322 online and it was overall a good course. If you do the work and put some time into it you will pass. Minimal effort got me a C. He is a tough grader on the long paper, but again, if you try you can pass. He answers emails in a timely manner and explains things very well when you ask questions. Straight-forward course.

If you're looking for a cop-out class, this isn't it. While Professor Coe is tough as nails, he opens up a whole new way to look at literature. He really makes you think and he is very insightful. His teaching style is not for everyone. When I took his tests, they were not multiple choice or matching like many of us grew up with.

Dr. Coe is incredible. I had an unexpected emergency in the middle of the semester, and he worked with me to make sure I got everything in. He provides great feedback and insight in to your essays so you can improve them for revisions. Seems tough at first, but he's a really great prof.

It's a lot of work but you actually learn in this class instead of just getting a grade. Not recommended for the lazy or people just looking for an easy A/B.

He is a tough grader, but that's only because he practically gives writes the essay for you when he lectures, so take notes. He also allows you to rewrite for up to ten more points. All but one of the short stories were public domain, so you might not need the book, but selection may change and some of the online versions have errors/missing text.

Hardest English class I've ever taken. Lots of reading and analyzing. Very harsh grader but Dr. Coe is helpful during office hours.

Very tough if you try to do it on your own. Visit his office and put in the necessary 4-5 hours a week studying, writing, drafting, and rewriting and you'll walk away with an A, no problem. He really does care and wants to help students succeed, but he can't do much for the students who are just looking for an easy English credit.

Took this in a half semester in the summer. I'd say about half the class ended up dropping the class. I found it pretty difficult, but if you go to office hours, Prof Coe will help you out a ton. Quizzes over every short story read for homework could be nitpicky at times. Overall, if you are willing to put in the work he is willing to help.

ENGLISH MAJORS ONLY He grades tough, but that's because he tells you everything you need to know during the lecture, including the essays. TAKE NOTES (or record). Also covers the history around the literature, which is fascinating. Read the assignments or you will fail. Don't take if you struggle with writing, you have to be skilled to pass.

Dr. Coe's ENG1 class was my first (summer) college class I've taken and I absolutely loved it. He is an amazing professor and he is really approachable when you need to get help with a paper. He makes sure that he helps all students and really does care about each one of us succeeding in his class. If you work hard on your and listen, you pass!

He is a tough professor, however, it's due to his love of literature! Yes he is picky and will make you work for the grade you want but if you go see him to discuss every paper while you are writing he will push you to do your best. He made me feel much more confident in writing (which i always hated.) He is a super kind guy and very funny.

He expects VERY high level writing and comprehension skills, but if you ask him for help and feedback on papers BEFORE you turn them in, it helps an unbelievable amount. I thought I was going to fail but I ended up receiving a B in the class which is fine with me. He is a really cool dude that wants to see you be passionate about literature.

My favorite professor I've ever had. Took his class twice (diff areas of study)! Coe wants you to think deeply about what you read and form original opinions. If you actually TRY it will be a very fulfilling class. Don't take this class if you are a crap student because he will be a crap professor back. Apply yourself and do the readings!!

Dr. Coe is an awesome teacher. He's a tough grader but only because he wants to see you improve. He gives really good feedback and is very clear on what he expects. As long as you pay attention and make an effort, you'll succeed!! Would definitely take this professor again!!!!

Professor Coe is an awesome teacher and a super tough grader. He is a bit a witty at times and comical in his lectures. He truly wants to create better writers. A++

the best

College is not a place to go if you just want to get by in life. There are many professors that let you slip through the cracks, and make college a smooth ride. If you plan on moving up in this world, you have to take this class. Dr. Coe will be a professor to remember. Plus, you get your moneys worth. He made me laugh, and cry. GREAT CLASS.

He's not bad. Go to class. Read the material. Do some research and ask questions if he's available. This is not an easy class if you do not read the assigned readings. I took him in the Fall and he challenges you to think outside the box. I struggled with his papers until my final one! While he can be a pain, it's actually for our own benefit!

Prof. Coe was one of the best professors I've ever had. I took him for not only Comp 2, but Brit Lit as well the very next semester. He doesn't give out an easy A, he really makes you work for it, but you will become a better writer by the time you leave his class. If you're willing to put in the work for his class, I definitely recommend him.

He is an amazing professor. He will help you become a better writer and that will help anyone out in their future courses. His lectures are awesome! I wish I recorded them. If you want to improve your writing he is the one to take!

I took a total of 3 classes from Dr. Coe. I took them a few years ago, but I have to say that he gave the best college experience I have ever had. This man taught me how to analyze and write a proper literary critique. I highly suggest him if you are looking to major in English. He is a tough grader, but he is more than willing to help you.

Dr. Coe will prepare you for the rest of your college career if you pay attention to what he is teaching. He'll make you a good writer. He's tough but he's funny. He's also caring and willing to help you if you're struggling. I wish I could take all his classes.

Professor Coe is an amazing teacher with tons of experience in life. Hes by no means an easy grade and wants to raise the bar and show his students what they are really capable of. If you pay attention and consider his feedback you will not have a problem in his class. Hes a great guy and is very helpful and understanding.

Professor Coe is a very tough grader, but he is willing to help you as long as you try. He will spend time with you outside of class to help with any problem you're having and will help you improve. You just gotta try. also, i am pretty sure cussing is encouraged in his classes.

Dr. Coe's class was an essay heavy class, and for the average student he is a tough grader. But if you meet with him, he gives you excellent feedback & wants you to succeed. Everything he tells you is for a reason & he gives you plenty of time to keep up with workload. Lectures were never boring, and it was obvious that he's passionate about them.

Although this class was the hardest class I have ever taken, I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you expect to get by doing the bare minimum... you are WRONG. I always wrote papers last minute in 1301 and got As easily with other profs. Coe is totally different and destroyed my papers in the beginning. But I learned SO much and I'm grateful for that.

This is the most amazing professor I have ever had. He has an absolute passion for Teaching And draws you in.

Engaging professor with a passion for the subject. The lectures are worth attending to grasp the material. Utilize unstuck AI and the assigned textbook for effective study prep.
