He was a down to earth professor.

Awesome instuctor! Really enjoyed his class! And HOT!

He was the best teacher I have had yet. He didn't allow slacking however he didn't make it so difficult it made you want to give up. He also wasn't boring!

Great teacher! Lets you choose your topics, thrives on controversy. Draws you in and makes you work, great personality for a teacher!

Great teacher! The essays assigned were fun to write, despite their complexity. If you do what he asks you to do and put work into your paper, there's not reason not to get a good grade! Makes the class fun and enjoyable too!

best teacher ever!!! if you need to take an english class his the guy your looking for!!!

Not sure what all the fuss is about. Guy's a terrific teacher. He knows his stuff. His class is probably a little more complex than most comp classes, so you need to attend regularly and pay attention. he doesn't like slackers. As long as you stay on top of assignments and follow instructions, the class is a breeze and a lot of fun.

I took him for both 101 and 102 and enjoyed both classes very much. He is very kick back and creates a relaxing atmosphere. His classes are about critical thinking as much as writing, so keep that in mind.

I took ENG 101 & 102 with him! By far best college professor I've had! His class was fun, which is why I also took 102 with him along with half of the other people from my 101 class. Make sure to follow the directions though because he definitely grades based on them!

I loved taking his class. Since I am already a good writer I doubted that I would learn much. However, I really learned through the different papers he assigned. Not much busy work and great feedback on my essays.

Hes funny and gives a new perspective to writing essay papers. Into technology and working with you if you just interact in class.

Dr. Pegram is a down to earth professor who requests that you do the work for the grade, but he makes it enjoyable while doing it. Work smart not hard and you will get an "A" easily. I appreciated his sense of humour and the relaxed environment made it easy to learn. This class felt like family. Cheers Dr. Pegram!

He was a great teacher really made a basic college class worth it. showed different ways to view movies and applied them to essays. Worth it.

Super nice teacher. Very down to earth and is ver knowledgable. I learned so much from his class. I actually enjoyed going!

Dr. P is an all-around cool dude. Every class was entertaining and made us laugh all the time. The three assigned papers were fairly easy. That's pretty much the only difficult homework you get. I strongly recommend this class if english isn't your forte; he'll help you through it no problem.(See? I told you I'd pull through, Dr. P. )

I didn't like this guy at first, but then things started to click and make sense. Now I have to admit I have learned a lot in this class. The guy's a terrific teacher. Take him if you get a chance.

I loved his class!

Dr P was a great English teacher. he was really laid back and the projects he gives are more research oriented.To me, this was better than just writting a bunch of boring papers, so I througholy enjoyed his English 102 class. He also has alot of classmate interacting projects which were pretty fun.

He's a really nice guy, and gave us papers to write about that were actually interesting enough to make you actually enjoy writing them. He also has a good sense of humor and made me laugh almost every day. An A was very doable in this class and by the time it was over, I was sad. I definitely recommend Pegram. He's great.

I can't believe somebody actually didn't like this teacher. He's the best. I learned a lot in his class. His papers are very different but they make sense. He relates it to the real world.

I loved this class! Dr. P is the man! Super nice, fun, & chill as he||! Always willing to explain things & best of all, there's a one-on-one conference session with him for every project -- it's like an extra peer review only better! Most of class time is spent getting you ready for the writing projects; not much book use.

Phenomenal instructor, highly recommend taking his course. Just don't take advantage of his niceness, when he offers help take it...

He was awesome! Easy to understand and learn from. If you have a question feel free to ask he will answer to the best of his ability. Gives one on one peer reviews for every paper. Actually made me like English class.

I took Dr. P for both 101 and 102. Loved him.

Cool guy easy class works with students

Excellent instructor! If you have any questions, just ask him. He is always willing to help. I highly recommend his class.

I took Dr. P's class a few years ago. Not until now did I realize how well he prepared me for future writing. Take his class! And it doesn't hurt that he's cute.

Dr. Pegram is very kind and helpful. He responds quickly to questions even on evenings and weekends. He is easy-going and makes the class feel comfortable too. Plus he's cute.

I really enjoyed this class! The writing assignments he assigns allows students to be engaged as opposed to just researching information. Also he allows peer reviews for papers and individual meetings with students to discuss papers and fix things after they are turned in. Would definitely recommend this class!

Really nice guy, keeps you interested and involved. Moderate grader but you don't have to show up every single class or anything. Really enjoyed this class so far. Highly recommend.

He's really laid back and gives you topics that are actually interesting to write about. He also gives really good feedback on assignments and papers.

Great Class, very clear and helpful. Show up and do the work and you will get a good grade.

David is one of the best teachers I've ever had. He is very helpful, his class is fun, and projects are interesting. He gives great feedback and is always there for you if you have any questions or need help. I've never went to the optional workshops and still passed with an A. Definitely would take him again!

Great teacher

Awesome professor

Great Class, Great Teacher. Highly Recommend!

Took this professor for online English 101. The class was very enjoyable. It was the most organized online class I have ever taken. He was also available all the time, because I would email him on Saturdays and he'd still get back to me pretty quick. Plus, there was no textbook required. I definitely recommend his class.

Mr. Pegram was a very fun professor, especially for a 730am class! He gets the class engaged, is very funny, and ensures we can relate with what he is teaching. He does assign a few long papers, but he spreads them out between smaller projects. The smaller projects are actually fun, and makes the papers easy to roll into.

Dr. Pegram is intelligent, personable and very easy to get along with. Lectures are informal, but educational. Often get side tracked by fun videos or discussions of outside class matters. Only assigns a couple large projects that are completed after a few small assignments to help build knowledge of the project. Would definitely take again.

Best English teacher I have ever had. His class is not the same old stuff, but you actually learn how to gather information from your own research and apply it. The class has no textbook, a major bonus. I highly recommend his class.

By far my favorite professor

Best English teacher I've had. Teaches you how to write the proper way - trial and error, specific to the individual. We learned how to analyze texts, events, films, and people and how to present them in a proper English paper/report. Very easy if you stick to the timeline he clearly outlines in his syllabus.

Pretty awesome professor & has a great humor. Just pay attention and do the group work and you'll pass.

One of the chillest professors ive ever had. No tests/exams just papers and projects. Easy A if you just pay attention, and if you're struggling, he was super helpful and flexible. Totally would recommend him, plus he's super nice to look at :)

Dr David Pegram, is one of the best professors I ever had, been a lawyer graduated in a foreign country give me that criteria to evaluate a great professor , Dr Pegram is always ready to interact with his students and give them the best feedback he can come out with, he is the type of professor I want to have . I would love to have him again.

Had a great time in Pegram's class, he tries to make the classes/lectures fun and interesting.

By far the best teacher I've had at PVCC. He's very easy going, willing to work with you. His writing assignments are challenging but that is a good thing. He teaches a fun class.

I found his class to be very easy, had him for 101 and 102 and it was what I expected. Hes a nice guy though and can joke around with students when appropriate.

Really enjoyed taking his class, He made the class fun and doesn't teach straight from a book (no textbook needed). Also, I didn't find myself under a lot of stress while taking this class.

At times, this professor can be a little scattered and sometimes the class can be a bit confusing, because he tends to either over explain or under explain assignments. However, he grades fairly and offers tons of extra credit. When it comes time to submit a paper, search for the full rubric. If followed, you will get an A. Also, super entertaining

Seriously terrific. Very laid back, willing to help. He's good at responding to email too.

This class is not what I expected but thats a good thing. The emphasis is on research and reflection. His teaching style is very laid back and easy going. It's my favorite class by far.

He assigns three papers that are linked together. They each get more challenging but you get to watch and write about movies. The teaching style makes class fun. There is a lot of discussion and group work.

If I had to describe the word "Chill" with a person, it would be this guy. He made the class easy flowing and enjoyable. Things were always interesting in his class and the assignments made sense and weren't that hard to complete. He gives good feedback on the papers you complete in class and is very easy to get around.

His class is definitely not run of the mill. He really emphasizes conducting your own research, like interviewing. He's laid back and easy to approach for help. There is no textbook! Good teacher.

Took both English 101 and 102 with this professor. Best English professor.

Dr. Pegram was a fantastic professor and fair with his assignments and grading. If you need to take a 101 and a 102 English course, you'll be in good hands with this professor.

Professor Pegram was a teacher I genuinely enjoyed. However, attendance counts as a HUGE part of your grade so do not neglect to show up!! He made class super fun and enjoyable, the papers we had to write were a perfect easy introduction to English and he has conferences often, to give you one-on-one feedback. Can't see how anyone could complain!

I am taking his online course. I really like how available and helpful he is. Emails are usually returned in 24 hrs. Workload is manageable and the material is really not at all like I was expecting. It is more a research methods class than an essay writing class and I like that.

Terrific teacher, really understanding and helpful. Highly recomend.

If it means a lot to you that your teacher cares for both your personal and academic success- take Dr. Pegrams class. I had him for English 101 and took him again for Honors English 102. If you seek help with his assignments, you will receive it. He gives solid constructive criticism and is flexible with due dates. He will bless your schedule.

I love this dude hes so fun and chill. Its so easy too feel calm and comfortable in his class he always has things prepared and makes it enjoyable I never missed a class and it was so easy to pass!

With the virus closing things down, our class had to move online and I hate online. But he was so good at offering videos, extra plans, and materials. The last part of the semester was stressful, but he kept things loose. He set up a Google chat for me to explain the final paper in more detail. Just overall a good teacher willing to help.

Took ENG 101 and 102 with Dr. Pegram. He's the best, really funny, super clear on what he wants with grading criteria and things, always accessible and helpful if you have questions. There is a big project due at the end of the semester, it's better if you work on it throughout instead of at the last minute. So worth taking English with him!

I am taking his live online 101. It is a good class with a relaxed atmosphere. I am not a good writer but his assignments make me feel that I am. The class Is about research and not just writing. The assignments are fun too. Big bonus is no textbook.

He is such an amazing prof and I took his ENG101 and 102 Honors classes.

I had all online classes last year and his were the only ones I enjoyed. The assignments were challenging but he made it worth it by explaining why I was doing them. That is the part so many teachers miss. He was always willing to meet and help me in Zoom calls, even at night. He's probably the most genuine teacher I have had. Highly recommend.

I took ENG 101 online with Dr. P. Great class and I didn't realize just how good his class was until taking 102 this semester with a different prof. He communicates a lot with announcements and videos and leaves audio feedback on papers. I have never had audio feedback before. It was more helpful than anything I've had in an English class.

Favorite teacher of the semester

This professor was amazing! I loved this course and really wished I took his English 102 class. I was a little caught off guard when I learned the class would be about identity and sports. It made me think outside the box and I loved the class for that.

One of the best professors I've ever had. Very accessible and reasonable.

Few projects, so if you mess one up your grade takes a hit but it did not take a lot of effort to get an A. Easy grader, but the assignments can be time consuming if you are not a good writer. Great feedback on all assignments from teach and students since peer reviews are big part of class. Be ready to write and get deep.

I would 100% recommend Dr. Pegram as a professor. I wrote four essays in the span of one semester and each one got very helpful feedback. All the feedback came in an audio file, and was very clear and descriptive. He even allowed me to adjust one of my essays for a better grade. Don't procrastinate the essay. 10/10 great class!

Dr. Pegram's course is quite interesting! It's a lot about sports, which I personally liked. You are not graded on a right or wrong answer, as long as you put in effort on your responses to questions about readings and videos and put in the time, you should be good! I enjoyed his class and I got to write about my sports journey. Great teacher! :)

I was confused in the first weeks and wasn't sure about Dr. P and then it started to all make sense by middle of semester. Things came together and was really happy about the final project I found myself writing. Really amazing. I recommend his class, just have to stick with it.

He is brilliant. First writing teacher to ever take me through stages of my own research and then let me use the AI to help with the final project. Really down to earth and helpful.

Best prof I have had at PVCC. Took his 101 class and regret not taking him for 102. He spends a lot of time on how to gather information and organizing it and not so much on making us write a whole bunch of meaningless papers. I even got to use AI on my final draft. It's a good class.

His assignments were interesting and easy (sometimes tough) However, there were a few assignments that weren't provided with enough clarity and instructions resulting in me receiving a bad grade. Something else that I appreciated about the Professor was that he allowed us to use AI on our final project which helped me significantly.

Great prof, really helpful and engaging. Assignments involve sports-focused writing, but he provides excellent feedback. unstuckstudy was a game-changer for understanding assignments. Manageable workload, would take again.

I liked this class a lot. I was confused at first but once things made sense I enjoyed it. Most of the grading is participation credit and based on your own research. Don't take this class if you want an extension of high school.

I was not so sure about him the first 3-4 weeks. But that started to change and he's now my favorite prof by far. I loved the feedback on my papers. He was very helpful and doesn't grade down for errors. Later in the semster we get into how to apply AI in realworld ways. I would recommend Dr P to anyone.

Chill professor. I like that he's more into being helpful than being super critical. He also seems to be adopting AI as a tool for students. There are five projects but only one is graded heavily and that's the one you'll work on the most. There's also a group presentation at the end of the semester that's a lot of fun.

I took this class at other campuses and teachers and could never get through it. Finally did with Dr P because the stuff we did was so different and fun. I appreciated that he never expected our work to be perfect. Great teacher all around.
