He is a GREAT! 4 papers, short journal assignments and a few 5 question quizes are the only things u have grades for. The lectures are more like a conversation he has with our small class. No in-class assignments unless doing a workshop on a paper. Always willing to answer questions over email or in class! Take him! You won't be disappointed! :)
Take him... so easy! only 4 papers and some journals. his quiz are only worth 1 pt each. The class itself is like talking not teaching. Loved this class easy grade for a non english person.
He was a good teacher. The only thing is that you dont have many points in the class so if you mess up you are screwed. Another thing is it always seemed as though my essays werent good enough.
He is very helpful, knowledgeable, and cares about his students. He's fun and easy to listen to. He allows freedom in the papers and in the class. It's a lot of work but it's easy and you actually care about your work. He takes the time to comment on papers. He's the best teacher I've have so far in my college life. I've taken him for 2 classes!
He's awesome! It's mostly a writing class and he helps you a lot to know what he's looking for. He explains things really well and he's hilarious! He's my favorite professor I've ever had at Southeastern - TAKE HIM!
Loved his class. He is a really good teacher. His lecture sessions are more like group conversations. There are not many points that can be earned but there isn't much work either. (4 papers, 5 short quizzes, 15 journals) He cares about his student's success in the class and responds to any questions. I'm taking him again for my next English class.
Dave is hilarious. Helps as much as possible and always responds to emails. He makes it so that if you mess up, its your fault, not his. super smart and easy. TAKE HIM.
He is a great person, very lively but it's hard to get an A, you must be consistent with all papers and journals and attendance, and even than you might get a C like me.
He gives too much homewok and his class is hard.You have to write alot in a short amount of time. Hes very demanding and if you dont meet the minimun page requirements(lets say your one paragraph short)he will deduct a letter grade.His jokes arent funny I find it pointless to attend class and its impossible to get an A on his essays.DONT RECOMMEND
Dave is really awesome. he genuinely cares about his students and he's just a really nice guy. If you don't get at the very least a C then you just never tried. He's always availible for questions and always willing to help. He can sometimes be picky with his essays but if you show him youre trying you'll do well in the class. Really cool guy!
dave is really awesome. He gives you plenty of time to write each essay and makes sure you clearly understand the objective and he constantly asks us if we have any questions. A big chunk of your grade is participation so go to class! 102 will never be easy but if you go to class and try you will surely pass. He always give writing tips too!
Dave is a really nice guy, who really cares whether his students succeed or fail.Extensive workload, 5 essays & a journal due practically every class period.So if ur lookin 4 an easy A w/ minimal workload, this is not the class 4 u.But if u dont care about writing assignments, then I highly recommend him.Alwayz willin 2 help as much as possible..
He's pretty awesome, clear ,helpful ,pretty entertaining, kind of difficult, but he's a good teacher so if you love english take him. If you want an easy A you may not want to.
This guy is amazing. He makes class interesting, and he is totally funny. His grading is easy and he makes sure you do well on your papers. TAKE HIM!!!
He is helpful and provides lots of guide. I felt like this class should be for only eng major students. He grades a bit harder and points out every mistakes. And you have to submit your essay on time, else, your marks will be deducted. Surprise quizz and extensive use of text book. Choose good short stories & u hav 2 write thought on Blackboard.
It was his first time teaching 232 and I think he did a wonderful job! he is very funny and nice! you have a journal due everyday before class. you read several things from the book and write a little about them. tests are easy as long as you read the sections and study a little. a few in class quizes, easy! i would take him again!
As soon as I walked into Dave's class on the first day, I knew I would love Dave. He is such an awesome teacher and you can tell that he loves and lives to teach. He made English fun. He did make us work hard, but that only strived us as students to work harder. I do not regret signing up for his class, and you won't regret it either.
He has a fun personality. He's a great teacher, take him! I loved his English 102 class, and I'm taking his American Lit class next semester!
Dave was a great teacher all semester long!! I've hated english all my life until Dave's class!!Definately take him if you can!! You won't regret it!!
hes great! funny and interesting. VERY helpful, one of those teachers willing to go the extra mile. I'd take him for all my English classes if i could!
Dave is awesome! He is willing to help you with any problem you may have. He is very good about answering emails right away. He makes English class fun. He is funny too! I am currently in his ENGL 232 class and love it! Take Dave's class if you can!
Dave was totally awesome! He cares about his students and when seeing them around campus will call you by name and say hi. He's funny and gives a new life to a subject that is so often loathed. He is willing to go out of his way to help you. If you don't like sarcasm, I don't recommend that you take him, though.
Great Teacher! Very helpful and it's not impossible to get an A. I do not like Literature anymore than I did when I started, but I have learned a lot about American writers.
TAKE HIM! Dave has such a likable personality. he is so laid back and easy going- really makes you feel comfortable in class! I learned a lot in his class. He was extremely helpful all throughout the semester. emails back very quickly with lengthy emails to help you write your papers. i taking him next semester too!
The best English teacher I have ever had. He provides SO MUCH constructive criticism and completely prepared us for the Proficiency Exam. He made class interesting and is not into all the petty grading that other English teachers do. He gives numerous bonus opportunities. Overall just a great professor. TAKE HIM.
Dave is one of those professors that truly enjoys teaching,and goes completely out of his way to help his students succeed. I am taking him again for ENG 102. Do not expect an easy A in his class, he does not give grades freely, although He is very lenient and willing to work with you if you are having issues. Also give lots of bonus opportunities!
Do yourself a favor and take this professor. I had him for English 102 (strictly writing), and took him again for English 232, American Lit. He's a great teacher and he's always willing to help if you're struggling. Funny, like-able personality--you'll never be bored in his class.
Really really funny. Will make you think. Really consider what you're reading because he's not going to give you the answer.
THIS IS ONE A TEACHER OF A DYING BREED!!! he cares so much about his students and their overall success. I honestly believe he should move to a larger college that allows larger sections. He is one of the most amazing professors Ive ever had the pleasure of taking. So constructive and helpful. He is also HILARIOUS... TAKE HIM! TAKE HIM! TAKE HIM!!
Dave is literally the reason behind why people should be interested in getting a higher education. I have never had a teacher so invested in my improvement and helpful in my life. If you can, TAKE HIM. There is nothing about his class that you will regret. Dave is a professor way too good for SELU. Will be taking him for AmLit next semester fa sho!
By far the best professor on this entire campus. He is SO funny and really cares about you as a person and your grade. He is not easy but is more than willing to help you pick your grade up. He is amazing and if you get the chance to take him you will in no way regret it.
This Class Provides Examples of: Badass Bookworm, Deadpan Snarker, Halloween Episode, Hot Teacher
THIS MAN IS HILARIOUS!! it is a class that you can absolutely pass if you put forth any effort. You write a few papers and take quizzes on the things he has 600 times.. TAKE HIM!!
He is super tough. Expects you to write at a great standard. Grades tough!! Helpful, though.
This is my second time taking Dave and I wouldn't have wanted anyone else as my teacher. His American Lit class is super easy. Basically, if you come to class, listen to the things he repeats and puts on the board, you will get an A on every quiz. He is so helpful with your grade and really tries to make the class interesting. A MUST TAKE!
Dave is so nice, love his class. He is always willing to help everyone. I also think he is funny as he is always making these jokes lol! I highly recommend taking his class!! Grades a little tough but you always exactly why you got the grade you received
Would absolutely recommend for any class. Works with you through every step of writing each paper, and grades them very leniently. In-class tests are super easy, and common sense. You would have to try to get a bad grade in his class.
Dave was absolutely amazing! Best English teacher that I have ever had. He is very helpful with writing the papers and you can tell that he actually cares. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone interested!
Grading scale is out of 100, cant miss a class or you will miss the points. Has great lecture,is histerical
I absolutely hated this class. Before coming into this class I felt like I was a pretty good writer, until I took Dave's class. His grading scale is really tough and he takes off for every little thing. I missed 2 classes and he gave me an 80 in participation. Luckily I ended up with a B in the class. DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!
Dave is the best english teacher. I would take him every chance i get. Hes very helpful and smart. He makes the class very fun and he helps you out alot to make sure you understand. Hes a fair grader and will do anything to help you pass his class. Especially the proficiency. when i took it, the test was a piece of cake thanks to dave! i love dave!
Dave is pretty cool and I'd suggest him if you are great at writing papers and do not need much help. He helps more outside of the classroom than in it. Gives some extra credit opportunities. If not a good writer I'd suggest trying the opportunities. He gives small but easy quizzes. His grading is pretty fair. And he cracks a lot of jokes.
The best teacher I have ever had. So funny and just loves what he does. Do not hesitate to ask for help. If you are not that great in English and in writing papers, he is the guy. He teaches you everything you need to know about writing papers. I got an A. he curves grades and works with you. Awesome professor. Take him. You won't regret
TAKE HIM! Seriously, what more is there to say? Dave is one of the coolest teachers at SELU. He's passionate about teaching and makes things fun every class. Read the poems, show up, do your journals and you'll be fine. He's very helpful and cares about his students. His class has been nothing short of a positive experience! I'd take him again!
I absolutely love him. Took him for 102 and 232 and I have "no ragrets"
I took him for 102 and 232 and I made an "A" in 102 and right now I have a 103 in 232. SO you could say he is pretty easy. For 232 we have a midterm and a final and 4 quizzes. He does make you do online journals each day but they really just prep you for class so they aren't any trouble. Takes maybe 5 min to write the journal for each class.
such a caring professor. will do anything to help you out. he wants all students to not only pass BUT LEARN. i enjoyed taking him, and will take him again for Eng 232. gives multiple opportunities to make a good grade on papers, helps students revise papers until it is perfected, gives very clear and helpful feedback.
Dave was HILARIOUS! Although we joked around in class, you will learn a lot. He's a little bit of a tough grader but he will help you at anytime if needed.
Very funny guy! He keeps the class interesting while still staying on topic. He gives great feedback on papers and is willing to help you if he can.
All I can say is TAKE THIS MAN!!!! I hate English and im a bad writer! I made a B in his class.
You know someone's a good professor when you get angry because you can't take anymore classes from him because of your major. He was super helpful, hilarious, and extremely respectful and well spoken. I would recommend him in a heart beat, and I wish I could take another class by him just to listen to his dry humor.
Dave is so helpful. HE gives great feedback and answers any questions you may have. He wants you to pass just like you want to pass. He goes out of his way to meet you outside of class if you need help and puts time aside for you to thouroughly review your papers before its time to turn them in. Very funny and keeps class interesting and fun!!!!
I love Professor Rodriquez. Anytime I was confused, he was QUICK to respond to my email. And would make his response, crystal clear, and even go over related topics concerning my confusion. And even though the class was online, he was quick to offer an in person appointment to help me.
Took english 102 online and although I was hesitant at first it turned out to be the best decision I ever made. I received just as much feedback if not more than a regular face to face class would have given me. Great teacher and you can really tell he loves his job. Take him and you won't regret it!
Wasn't expecting my favorite professor to come from an online course so that's saying something. His expectations are clear and he is SO helpful. If you don't do well in this class, it's because you didn't try.
greatest English professor!!!
Rodriquez is the most awkwardly hilarious guy I have ever met. Class was awesome and he can make a weird, dry humor joke out of anything. The class in general sucks but he tries to make it bare-able. PAY ATTENTION TO THE ASSIGNMENT SHEET. he gives a few short quizzes but doesn't say anything the class before because they are on the assignment sheet
Dave is an awesome professor! He explains things very clearly his personality keeps the class entertaining. He makes it very clear what he wants from you. KEEP UP WITH THE ASSIGNMENT SHEET. It's a very basic thing. It tells you what you'll need to have done before class and when quizzes are. He's quite understanding. I'm taking him again for 232.
He is very energetic and enthusiastic when it comes to his Lectures. I took him for both 102 and 232 and enjoyed every class. His personality makes me want to come to class and he keeps it entertaining. He can get off topic if you ask questions and then cracks jokes about how the class is going no where.
David Rodriguez is the best teacher I have ever had! He is HILARIOUS and passionate about what he teaches. He makes his class fun and interesting . Gives a lot of feedback on essays, responds to emails quickly, and is always putting out opportunities to help students. Wish I could take him for 232, but his class filled up quick!! TAKE HIM!
He is really good at what he is does. The classes are hilarious, but still within respectful bounds. He organizes the class is such a detail, I wish every other professor would do so. Class wasn't that difficult, but wasn't just an easy one too. Feedback on papers were very helpful, and improved my writing a lot.
He was very straight forward in his expectations for the class. He offers plenty of opportunity for points in the class and almost always offers bonus points on the quizzes. If you do the journals, study for quizzes, and complete the two papers that go along with the multiple choice and short answer midterm and final you should get an A.
Online class. Quiz every week, journal every week--SUPER easy. 250 min on journals. Midterm essay and final essaysuper easy. This professor is really nice and assigns SHORT READINGS. Read the lectures (3 pages a week) and the material, and you'll do fine on the quizzes.
He is difficult. Very nonchalant. He shouldn't be your first pick for 102. Trust me!
Dave was definitely my favorite professor of freshman year! his class was hilarious, and he truly cares for his students. if you do your essays and listen to his lectures you will make an A. he gives lots of bonus and his quizzes are simple questions about things he talks about in class.
Dave is so amazing. He is easy on the eyes and he is very passionate. He was very easy and easy to listen to his lectures are easy and well rounded as he keeps you entertained throughout his lecture. Their is no dull moment in his class with all his side jokes. He gives you the key term for quizzes with added simple bonuses. He's a must for English
Professor Dave as awesome! Very helpful and responds to emails quickly. Only wrote three papers and made high grades them. Do a few textbook readings but no tests are given on them. Would definitely take again.
I love professor Rodriguez! He is so funny and intelligent. His class is interesting and he is a very helpful professor. I wish all my professors were like Dave honestly. Plus, I wish he taught more high level English classes.
Dave is the best professor I have encountered at Southeastern so far. Even for an online course, he organized the material so well as to avoid confusion. If you follow his directions in his lectures, you will make A's on your papers. He only requires three papers, so you will have to turn in your best work. He will prepare you for the proficiency.
Horrible for 102. Will give you a high grade the whole year and good grade on papers but then fail your final.
Dave is one of THE BEST professor I've had!! He definitely isn't your average professor and he genuinely cares about his teaching and his students!
Professor Rodriguez is an awesome teacher. He's very helpful and cares about his students and how they are doing. I took his online class and it was super easy to keep on track with assignments. HW and quizzes are reasonable and helpful.
David is that awkward, but funny guy. He's there for his students and dedicates class days for conferences with him in regards to your papers. There are 4 papers all semester and he won't make it due until after giving the previous paper back. Highly recommend taking David.
Fairly easy class, really good teacher
Dave is super funny and nice. There are a few quizzes literally, no tests. All you do is write a few papers. He responds to emails quickly. Gives you feedback, answers any questions you have and provides assistance on papers. Class isnt mandatory, but its better to go. Can be a little boring but worth it. He is the best English professor. Get him
Dave is amazing. If you took him for 101 then its the same as 102. Super easy. A few short quizzes & 3 papers. Hes also very helpful. Class isnt mandatory but advised for proficiency exam. Dont miss too much class. Email him your paper and he will give you feedback to get a better grade. Papers affect your grade the most so take advantage of it
I had David in 2014. I wish I could've focused more of my energy on his class. The material is SO interesting. Furthermore, he is hilarious. I'm so glad he's still at SELU! His interpretation of Frost's, 'The Road Not Taken' is incredible!
easy A class. taken online with a 200 word journal almost every week with a quiz every two or three weeks. 2 papers, one for the midterm, one for the final. if you need the course but want an easy A . TAKE HIM ONLINE !!!!
By far the best English teacher I have ever had. He is basically throwing A's at you. His journals are easy, he gives you exactly what he wants from you for each of them. His quizzes are easy and short, studying isn't hard since he also gives you information on that. He is easy and breaks down everything for you and emails back you quickly.
theres total of 10 (200 word) journals, 5 quizzes and 2 essays (midterm and final). He is very easy to get in touch with and always gives great feedback. Received full credit for all journals which did not require too much of my time. He has weekly lectures and all quiz questions come exactly from it. BEST ONLINE OPTION FOR ENG232!!! he's the best
Dave was an amazing English teacher. He gives good feedback on your papers so you know what to work on. He wants you to succeed and will help you with whatever to make sure you pass the proficiency
Professor Rodriguez literally gives you everything you need the first week of school, so nothing comes as a surprise. There is a journal do every week and a quiz every two weeks, along with a midterm and final paper. He gives instructions on how to do everything, but if you need any extra help he is easily accessible.
I took him online the first go round for 102 and had an amazing experience, so I was a little bummed out I couldn't do that again. However, I am so glad to have taken this class in person! His lectures are amazing, there is a bit of reading and writing but that is just apart of any American Lit class. A bonus is he is hilarious!! Take him!
I took this class online and it is a super easy A, but it is a lot of work. Every week you have a 200 word journal, a quiz every other week, and a midterm and final paper. I would definitely take him again for english.
I really did enjoy having David as a prof. He learns everyone's names by like the second week of school. He did a really great job of preparing you for the Literacy Exam. I was so nervous but he is such a great teacher that I passed both the class and the exam. I highly recommend him!! he is super sweet and really cares about all his students.
