wow he wasnt all that bad...and the attendance policy wasnt all that bad...just dont miss a ton of class..i thought it was super easy

I took his reading course, and despite what some people here say, I believed him to be one of the absolute best teachers I have had. I will respect him forever. Amazing person, great teacher.

I thought he was a great teacher. He's really into the details in stories, so make sure you pay attention to things you might not find important i.e. the color of a character's shirt or something.

I took his class a while ago, but I have to say, he was a great teacher. He got me interested in authors and societies from the past.

Selected interesting topics and made himself readily available for any questions. I took this class online, but he seemed to be very straight forward with what he expected from our class. No hidden surprises.

I took his class online and loved it. It was extremely easy and found that all that I had to do was what he asked. He doesn't make things difficult, he just expects you to listen and try.

I loved him and eventually took another class with him. There is a quiz every week that add up quickly in the gradebook, but they come right from the summary in the chapters and class discussion. He was great and entertaining. This class was the high point of my day, it was downhill from there. Sometimes he doesn't come in when the weather is bad.

The only reason I took this was because I liked the teacher. I did not think I would enjoy the class as much as I did. It is a composition of short stories that are very interesting. Weekly quizes used random questions, but he explains why they are important. Loved this class!

i can understand the comments about his ego, but a real great guy once you get to know him. he is different, but overall real cool. he and i got started off on a bad note, then ended up enjoying his class really well. easy information, easy tests, and if he likes you he will give you a better score then if he doesnt...SERIOUSLY. i shouldve had a B.

Mr. Sharp is fun,down to earth, knowledgeable in his area of study and conducts a stimulating enjoyable class.

Professor Dave Sharp Rocks.He makes the class not only interesting but fun.I would and have recommended him to everyone I've talked to.

I would highly recommend any of Prof. Sharp's classes. He has a real sense of give/take with his students and gives a lot of guidance.

Mr. Sharp is an awesome teacher. If you make discussions in class then he will like you better. You also have a 5 question quiz, with a bunch of bonus questions every morning so if you don't read your but then you are screwed! Quizzes are extremely easy. Test are decent, but don't expect to breeze through it all. I did very well, but a lot failed

A lot of people in my online class seemed lost, but all the information was in the assignments sheets. I guess you shouldn't take his online course if you're bad with instructions. He's very strict about deadlines and accepts absolutely no late work for any reason. Do what's expected and you'll be fine.

Mr. Sharp was so cool. His voice sounds like Tom Hanks, which is super awesome. He brings the class together with the discussions and does a good job at helping out whenever it is needing. His assignments aren't difficult if you try.

Professor Sharp is one of the best professors that I have had. I will say that, if you don't do the req. work, you will not do well in his class. He is a tough professor, but overall, he is extremely fair. To anyone who complains about Professor Sharp, you are in college now, and maybe you should take the time to learn the concept of accountability

I've taken one of his classes online, and on campus. He's awesome. You do have to do the work, and show up. If you try, you'll make a good grade. He is also super hilarious!

AWESOME TEACHER!! You can tell he loves his subject and wants his students to share his passion. Fun group discussions. Gets involved with students. Tests are clear. Need to do the work to get the grade however homework is very reasonable. Funny and charming all aroung great teacher!!

He's a really good teacher, makes class enjoyable to go to everyday. Get's to know the students and has a fun attitude. As long as you take notes, go to class, and study you should get an A. This wasn't my favorite subject but definitely my favorite class to go to.

GREAT Teacher! He breaks everything down for you to understand and will answer questions and emails. He keeps the class friendly and easy going. Always something to laugh at in his class. Everyday there is a quiz over the reading but it is no more then 5 questions over no more than 8 or less pages. Great class wish I could have him again.

Mr. Sharp is a great teacher. You definitely need to buy both books; he's kicked out a few people for not having them. There's around six papers due the entire semester, plus a few online quizzes here and there. If you are a good writer and taking 101 you'll fly by without doing much work. Two absences allowed, third absence = lose a letter grade.

I took two classes from Mr. Sharp because I absolutely loved his class! He's a great teacher and really helps the student get involved in what they're doing. I only took his classes in person, not online... so I can't speak for any online class.

Loved Sharp. He's hilarious in class. He doesn't grade too harshly. No surprise quizes. As long as you show up to class and do the readings and the papers, you shouldn't fail. Also, take what he teaches into consideration when writing papers. He likes to help as much as can. Definitely recommend him.

I loved this class. I was not looking forward to taking English 101, but it turned out to be a very entertaining and educational class. If you are in college don't act like you are still 15. He clearly states his expectations and you conform or fail. Be a grown up,do your work, participate, and you will do fine.

Fantastic example of a teacher, I recommend his class to everyone I talk to. He makes the classroom so much fun to be in all while giving great insight over stories and questions we have in class. Cannot speak highly enough of this man!

All discussion postings were political, media is so much more, but felt I was being propaganded in politics then talking media. No diversity in this just POLITICS discussions. Unforgiven with computer glitches, quizzes were hard because the questions seems opened ended and confusing. Im an A-B student, I'm lucky to get a c in this class.

Great teacher!

Prof. Sharp was a great teacher. I always looked forward to class. All I had to do to do well was read the reading assignments (which were interesting and relatively short), and study a little for the tests. I learned a lot in this class.

He was your average English teacher. He assigns papers that are about 3-4 pages which is nice. He has you turn in a rough draft then he corrects it, and if you make all the corrections you should do well in the class. Has online quizzes and some in class, make sure you read the short stories though because those were kind of hard.

Sharp is an amazing professor. I hadn't taken a history or literature class since high school and had a tough time jumping into this one. I wouldn't understand the readings. He explains them so well that it made the test that much easier. Im not saying its a walk in the park, you have to study for his tests. But he is willing to help. TAKE HIM.

David's american literature class is a wonderful experience. His classes are engaging and entertaining. You will come to class expecting to learn just the material, but will leave with more. The best way to pass David's class is to show up every class, do the readings, and participate. The class is easy as long as you do what is asked.

Professor Sharp is such a great teacher. Even though there were quizzes everyday in his class, the class was worth taking. Professor Sharp is by far my favorite professor because he makes teaching fun and interesting. For the most part Professor Sharp chooses fairly interesting stories for his students to read. I would definitely recommend him!

Such a great class!!

This class is what you make it, daily short quizzes over what you read at home. If you read and show up to class you should get an A. Format of his tests are something to ask about once review time comes around. Other than that be straight forward with him, he is willing to help if you ask! Would highly recommend and would take this class again!

He explains things in such a clear cut way, that you really learn the material. He makes class interesting and fun to be in, even if you're not into the topic. The feedback he provides on essays really helps build up writing skills, and if you listen to his corrections, the class becomes pretty easy. I enjoyed this professor and his classes.

Honestly, this class sucks, but he makes the best out of it. The readings aren't very interesting, but you have to read them. You have a small quiz every class and three tests. Ten percent of your grade is based on facilitation, so be prepared to participate it makes a letter grade difference. I would definitely take one of his classes again.

David Sharp tries to be extremely tough and intimidating the first couple of weeks. So many people eventually drop out. But if you take the time to talk to him, he is actually very nice and helpful. He is more understanding than people think. Just make sure you take his work serious, because if you do he will help you become a great writer.

His class seemed tough at first, but once you get into it, it's actually very fun. The readings are not hard, you always know what's due, and he gives excellent feedback on how to improve for next time. He has a very funny humor and I would absolutely take any class of his again.

The first few weeks he was intimidating. Overall great person & teacher. He made a hard class fun! The readings were nice usually took quizzes over them as well as quizzes over psm every reading. Sharp was a tough grader, but taught me so much. For the final we watched 911 and answered questions. Very smart man he prepared me well ready for 102

I looked forward to every class with Professor Sharp. He was very clear in his expectations and grading style. If you read what you're assigned, pay attention in class, and learn from his annotations, then you will do well. Mr. Sharp is hilarious and knowledgable, and likes facilitation, so participate! Again, loved this class.

exciting lectures, goes off topic often - in a good way

This was one of the first classes i took when i entered college and the professor was a little hard and makes you really work for your grade but that was expected of a college professor. He was very specific in how he wanted things done but i really enjoyed his class.

Really good teacher, definitely can tell he has been doing his job for years. Show up every day and don't miss any quizzes. Follow the midterm and final instructions exactly. Missing one day takes 5 points (total 300ish) off your grade because you can't retake quizzes.

Sharp is very knowledgeable in his field. You can tell he's been doing this for a while. I totally loved his class. You have to be there everyday, and there was always a 5 point quiz that usually has 6/7 questions per quiz. the daily quizzes are held over the readings he assigns each class. pay attention to the readings and this class is an easy A

Professor Sharp did not have boring lectures. Each and every class was filled with fun banter along with the usual material.

Really nice guy, very helpful, great sense of humor. I've never been a fan of English but he honestly made the class fun. You will have to put in work and provide good effort and quality work on your assignments, but he will still give you plenty of help. Definitely the best English professor I've had at Maple Woods.

Very wash, rinse, and repeat style of teaching. Read the assigned piece as homework, take a quiz over it next class and discuss it after. Very funny and good at holding the attention of the class. If you do the assignments right and do the extra credit answers on the quizzes, you should get a very high overall grade like I did.

Prof Sharp is super fun! The class is very simple: read a story, take a comprehension quiz over it, and discuss the story. Beware of filling out the sheets completely! Those questions are on the midterm and final. Read every story, even if you're absent. Super amazing and hilarious class but doing the work is critical.

Professor Sharp's class was a great experience, he is specific about what he's looking for in papers and provides feedback on how to improve certain aspects for future projects. This class relied on five essays, there are more assignments but the essays should be your main priority since you MUST turn in all five of them to pass. Amazing educator!

My Goat. My favorite professor OAT. Take this class please, you will get a good grade if you just read the stories. The most personable professor i've ever taken.

AMAZING TEACHER! I always got excited to go to his class, because it was that fun. Even though he wasn't there for a decent portion of the semester, I always felt like I got my money's worth when I was there. TAKE THIS TEACHER! HES ONE OF A KIND! IT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN HOW AMAZING HE IS AT TEACHING!
