Dr. Brock will give you every opportunity to excel, makes his guidelines and deadlines clear, and tells you how to improve your grade from the first class. In return, show up every day, use the book (or take photos of it at the library for free), and turn the work in on time. Not a great writer? The ASC can help you get an easy A or B in his class!

He's hard to get in contact with, and when you do get in contact with him, he just refers you to the syllabus instead of providing instruction like a teacher is supposed to do. He also tries to pawn you off to the tutoring options at the school instead of just giving you simple advice. Not a fan when it take him again

I really think Dr. Brock made his class so easy to understand and pass if you read everything, it was alot of reading but not really considering its an english class. Replied in a timely manner to all my questions too. I enjoyed the class.

Lays out everything clearly, if you get a bad grade that is all on you because genuinely this is the easiest class I have ever taken.

I liked that he offered a lot of options for what you could write about in final papers which led to me writing some of my best essays on things that were important to me. The only real negative thing I have to say is that I was never corrected on the format of my essays and was just told I was wrong. Other than that he was cool and I recommend!
