Great, great, great! I really liked Professor Randall. We read good literature, and he got me writing better essays. He's an interesting guy, and he teaches well.

If I were an old man I would probably be just like him. He's not cynical but he is sarcastic and has his opinions about things. Lit & Comp - we read short stories, poems, and some plays. We write essays and do peer review and then he gives us feedback.

Great Class. He grades like all teachers should. A's=reserved for seriously great pieces of work, B's=good with lets effort behind them, and C's=averages work. He grades on improvement and effort, but def be willing to except a B (as A's are reserved for those who extremely above the rest) His class is extremely fun, laid back. U will learn alot.

I love his class! If you are conservative and hate politics dont take the class. He is very energetic and funny. He is sarcastic and down to earth. I would recommend him to everyone.

He is very interesting, and is always willing to give his opinion. He says he grades off of improvement, but with two weeks left only two people have any kind of grade, and only c's at that. He will work you as hard as he can. Still, you definitely learn what makes a good play, even if you can't write one.

The course objective emphasizes character development, not just poorly constructed scenes burdened with too much plot and exposition. Conflict and character motivation is key. Read the textbook. The "best" writing was always about someone the writer personally knew. Experimental writers will struggle if unaware of who their characters are.

He is definitely a tough grader and pushes you for improvement, gives honest feedback. He spends much of the class discussing the readings and current events. Some seem to think that has no place in an education. Most of the complaints that I heard were from slacker students looking for a blowoff class. Show up, participate, and do your best.

This guy is a great professor. He lets you go normally about a hour an hour early and always keeps class interesting. He talks a lot, but I like hearing things from different perspective. The class is difficult but don't be a b, just sack up and work hard, you'll do well.

I adore Professor Randall, but he is a really harsh grader. He expects literary scholar level works out of freshman students. He goes on tangents a lot but it is because it makes the two and a half hour class more bearable. He is hilarious and great to get to know. You read very interesting things in class as well. Make sure your work is perfect!

Honestly one of the best English professors I've ever had. He is really funny and he knows how to keep things interesting. He does go off topic a lot, but about current events and the news. He is a harsh grader, but then again what English professor isn't... Overall if you work hard on your essays you will do fine.

Randall was one of my favorite professors of the quarter. He encouraged us to choose the topic of our essays & offered suggestions if someone wasn't sure about what direction to take. He wants college-level writing. Not a course that you can just slide through, but if you're responsible & ask questions then you'll be fine. Read the textbook!

Professor Randall is my favorite professor at SCAD. Yes, he does start the first 30 mins of class talking about politics & current events - because it's important to know what's happening in the world! He expects college-level work. Do not take if you just want an easy A. He does not give As. I was his favorite and still received a B in the class.

Though, but outstanding professor. Wan't to earn your grade? Take him.

His class was hard for me, not being a writing major; but it was also fun. His class discussions are humorous, the play's you read are interesting, and if you really try, you do see improvement in your work. Before taking, I recommend coming up with your idea for your play and screenplay . It will make class sooo much easier for you if you do.

He is very funny. I love him as a person. As a professor, if you want a good grade you will have to work for it. I finished with a B. He's willing to help once you're interested. A lot of quizzes, but they're only worth about 10% of your grade.

If you're taking this class be ready to read A LOT. It's best to go ahead and rent all of the books as soon as you get your syllabus. Quiz every class over the reading you were supposed to do. 2 hellish essays and 1 BRUTAL research paper. Go ahead and start working on it the first day. He's a funny guy and is very helpful. Just work hard & read!

This isn't an easy class. You have to read & write a LOT & you get a vocab/reading quiz every week. Although he might give u R's at the beginning, if u follow his feedback in every extra help session u can get through it. He's a tough guy but he's actually nice deep down. He's also hilarious & ends class early. I'd recommend him if ur a hardworker!

His class is hard and a lot of work but I actually feel like i'm learning something from him. His lectures are inspirational and a great look on the world. Lots of reading and small quizzes. 4 major essays which he will grade harshly.

Prof. Randall is a funny, candid guy who thinks and cares deeply about literature and expects the very best from his students. He's a tough grader when it comes to essays, so make sure to check comma usage and have a solid rhetorical structure supported with textual evidence or he'll tear you to shreds. He makes you work for an A, but it's worth it

I never had to analyze Literature let alone write essays on it, so it was an extremely challenging class. In spite of that, I got 100 on each of the almost daily quizzes and strongly participated in class. He noticed my effort and was lenient giving me Bs on my not-B-worthy (according to his standards) essays. So unless you're talented, work hard.

Though I suck at writing papers, I enjoyed this professor. He acts tough but he's a great guy and always makes sure to make himself available outside of class time to help out.

He's very funny and keeps class engaging. Besides that, you only get four essays and if you're not that good of a writer, you're basically doomed.

Read all the material given. Quizzes are somewhat spontaneous as the Professor doesn't follow the syllabus very much, so be prepared. Exams are easy as long as you understand the material (they're open book too). Class is lecture-heavy, but breezes by. Professor is accessible outside of class which helps a lot as long as you show him you work hard

You would want to make a lot of analysis and break down what he say. You don't have to agree with his statement, but it makes you think. Overall tough, but it's pretty entertaining. Lots of readings assigned every class. Sometimes you have to finish 70-paged hard-to-digest book in a night. Gives good feedback if your final project is a play/novel.

One of the kindest and interesting professors Ive had at SCAD. Hes hilarious and has a great way of explaining things. We do read a lot and there are quizzes pretty often, but its manageable. Just put in the work and youll be fine. Ive always looked forward to going to his class.

Professor Randall is a true collage professor. He will not hold your hand and baby you. He treats and talks to everyone like adults which we all are, but for some children at scad he's too much. So if your a weeny who won't put in solid effort into the readings and essays for his class, you won't do well. Go to his extra help for essays, just do it

Professor Randall is maybe one of my favorite professors so far at SCAD. He is hilarious and the class is really relaxed and engaging. There is a lot of reading so prepare to read daily for his class but the books and plays are interesting and he explains them every day. I thoroughly enjoy and look forward to his class every time.

I was scared to take his class because of the negative reviews he received, but I ended up loving it a lot. I think people just didn't do the readings and blamed him for their consequently bad grades. Randall's straightforward and engaging, and I loved everything we read. Do the reading and take good notes, and you'll pass the class no problem.

I understand why a lot of people don't like Randall. His expectations are extremely high and he is brutally honest, intimidating, and critical. Personally, he is one of my favorite professors. He is extremely intelligent, I find his lectures hilarious and engaging, and if you do the readings and know how to write a good essay you'll get an A.

He is a very insightful person. Professor Randall knows a lot about what he is teaching and makes class discussions easy to participate in. I took his class online and he was very kind and understanding.

Dennis assigned a lot of reading to do before every class. It was a lot to do but you can find summaries online to help you. There are ten quizzes throughout the quarter that are very easy as long as you have a clue about the reading. There are four papers due during the quarter, 3 you hand in and 1 you write during the last class as the final.

This was a good class I did well though I know some people who didn't do as well. He is a tough grader if you don't try. He can tell. I can tell he really hates online learning but since classes will be on ground I definitely recommend. Even with online we is a great funny professor.
