I have Dr. Brock for 2 classes. I wish all of my teachers were like him. I'm signing up for more of his classes next semester.

Dr. Brock is a perfect example of what a college professor should be. Loved this class. I will also take him for other classes.
Dr Brock is amazing! I took his online class and then met him after the semester was over. He really tries to help and goes out of his way to help his students. I wish every professor was like him! I even got a fantastic recommendation. Seriously, take his class and you will be happy that you did! Easy if you do the work.
He is the best teacher ever!!! He is very understanding and is always willing to help. If anybody take any classes he teach you will get an easy A. Pay attention and ask questions. Good Luck!

THE BEST TEACHER EVER!!!! I JUST FINISHED HIS THREE WEEK WINTER COURSE. TAKE HIM YOU WILL THANK ME LATER
He is very funny and makes the class live (:
Dr. Brock is available when you need help with your assignments. His assignments are well planned out.
HE IS DOWN TO EARTH AND THE CLASS IS INTERESTING.I WOULD RECOMMEND HIM TO OTHER STUDENTS.
Very nice teacher and very helpfu will work with you to help you inprove your grades.
his size might be attimindating but he is a cool person. He knows what he is taking about and more. straight forward guy. he is also funny.
I would suggest any student to Dr. Brock he is a great professor. He makes sure all his students understand the work before moving on to new material. In he treat everyone equal.
I think that Mr. Brock is an outstanding professor. He takes a lot of pride in teaching. If you have the desire to learn then by all means take him.
He is a very nice professor and helpful. The class is not hard and he makes it enjoyable. I would recommend him.
Very easy just do the assignments and you will pass he also has a couple group projects. he keeps you updated on your grades and grades your work fairly. I recommend to everyone i'm also taking him for English 2!
A very good teacher. Takes time to talk to students to help them and see where they are at.
I would recommend Dr. Brock because he is a passionate professor. He takes time to sit down and talk to students to help them.
I took the accelerated course and have to say by far best teacher ever. The Grammer part of class is mostly done by yourself online but he helps in any way he can if you ask him. I have to say every day in his class my writting becomes better and he every paper you do he gives great feedback. He helps you pass if your doing poorly with extra credit
really good teacher, funny. learned a lot.
best English teacher
DR.Brock is a very nice and understanding professor. You will know and understand every assignment because he sees to it. If you fail this class it was totally on you, because there is literally no way to fail.
very nice professor. There is no way to fail any of his English classes. before he moves on he ask do you understand and repeat it any way. I will be taking all my English class with professor brock
This is a good professor, he is easy going,and very understanding.
This class has really brought out my strengths and weaknesses in my writing and I have discovered that I have a lot more weaknesses than strengths. Dr. Brock is wonderful. I learned a lot from him.
Loved this professor. I wish all instructors could be like him. He is so clear on his assignments, and if for any reason you are totally lost, he's right there for you. Made writing fun! Wish I could take him for every class I have! The best!
I loved this professor, He challenged me.
I liked the class. Dr. Brock was responsive. I never did get any comments on my essays so that was a disconnect but overall the class was good. This was my first online collage class.
Dr. Brock was hard but fair, as to say he is going to make you do the work. He doesn't expect anything less than your best.
This teacher is great, he provides timely feedback and grading. His class involves a lot of reading so be prepared! Although there is a lot of reading, the class is well organized and there is plenty of time given to complete reading and assignments.
A good bit of reading is involved, but the material is great! Plenty of time and feedback for all assignments. You will need to DO WORK. Comments from the professor are helpful as well as smarthinking help.
This proffessor is a excellent teacher. He has high expectaions but always willing to awnser any question you hae. I will use him again in the future.
Dr. Brock was a great teacher. Very helpful, gives you multiple chances on assignments and basically breaks everything down so you could understand. Definitely taking him again for Enc 1102.
SUCH AN AMAZING PROFESSOR!! I love english and always have, and yet he made me love it even more. He really helps with any questions and he does a great job with not overwhelming you with too much work. I cannot wait to take his 1102 course!! and hes pretty funny too! He also divides up all the Gordon rule requirements really well also!
Dr. Brock is an excellect Instructor. I have done more reading books and essays then ever before, which for me is a good thing. In Dr. Brocks online course just do your assigned reading, discussion boards, quizes and essays and if you need his help he will help you. I will be taking as many online courses as I can in my future education courses.
Dr. Brock is an amazing professor! His online ENC1101 class was extremely orginized. If you do all of the assignments to the best of your ability, you will pass the course.
This teacher is GREAT, he provides timely feedback and grading. The class is well organized and there is plenty of time given to complete reading and assignments. I recommend him to everyone. Very helpful, gives you multiple chances on assignments and really breaks everything down so you could understand.
He is a really good teacher, whether you take the class online or in the class room he is really good, and as long as you try and pay attention to what he teaches then you will pass
This is the second class I have taken with Dr. Brock and I couldn't be more pleased with how he runs his online classes. He is very organized, letting you know what is expected of you from day one. You have 3 major essays through out the course then a discussion every week. Dr. Brock responds quick to all emails. Overall awesome professor !!!
BEST ONLINE CLASS EVER
Dr Brock rocks , line class was my first and I loved it. Dr. Brock helps you right after you contact him he is right on time. I learned a lot like writing essays read more books then ever in a short time. I like the way we got to read our peers discussions on a book we were reading at a time. I wish he was teaching ENC 1102 on line class.
Great Class.
Awesome class, I learned a lot and Dr. Brock was very helpful and always told us that he wanted to help us and make it easier for us. And it was. Definitely recommend!
AWESOME professor!!!!! Definitely recommend him! Do your work and you will pass.
Dr. B is one of the best professors a student could have. As a professor Dr. Brock is extremely fair and makes the students want to attend class. The rubric is extremely clear and he follows it to a tee. Would HIGHLY recommend him for a class.
The instructor is very helpful, very knowledgeable of course, and well structured. The student will recommend this class to any student who is willing to work , study, and understand English.
Professor Brock has a great personality, not just because he is a fun, lighthearted professor he also takes care of his students. Dr. Brock is fair to every student, he wants everyone to learn the material from his class. Dexter Brock is a model of wonderful Professor.
As a first time student, taking this class with Dr. Brock is helpful and entertaining. Dr. Brock is a very influential professor, He shows students that things are not always what they seem. The material that Dr. Brock uses has depth and meaning, which a lot of students find they can relate to.
Dr. Brock's class was very easy. The topics of the class were clear and easy to understand. If one simply follows the rubric's given, then a great grade is fairly impossible not to get.
He is a great teacher and make everyone feels at home.
The student took this class as a winter course. Dr. Brock is an amazing teacher. Dr. Brock grades by what the students present to him (pretty fair). There was a lot of work but not too much.
Easy A. Best Professor Ever. Its English So Expect Work He's Hilarious & Keeps The Class Entertained. And Yes Attendance Is Required
Amazing professor, decided to take him for ENC 1102! If you fail his class it's because you didn't put forth effort.
Dr. Brock was an amazing English teacher!!!! He is there specifically to help you. He love his job and it show by how he treats the students. If you are looking for a good English teacher look no further he teaches both ENC 1101 and 1102.
I read the reviews on RateMyProfessor before I took his class and I'm really glad I chose to take it. He's fun, he's not a hard grader at all, he tells you exactly what he expects so that failing is nearly impossible and he's really helpful. I feel comfortable speaking to him and I really enjoy his class. I wish I could take it again next term.
Dr. Brock is the best English professor. Always open to help and encourage his students to do better. He knows what he is teaching very well and make all students feel comfortable to interact in class. He's Fair, I love his teaching method cause it works for any student. If you need to improve your writing and presentation, one professor: Dr. Brock
I took ENC I with Dr. Brock in the summer, he made learning fun. I could not wait till it was time to attend his class every week, though it was a lot of work in such a short time ,but again Dr. Brock helped you every step of the way. I am taking his African American studies class in the spring i am so excited!
Dr. Brock was awesome! Great communication! He is very clear on what he expects from students. As long as you read your syllabus and you have your textbook, you will pass the class. He responds quickly to emails.I would recommend him to anyone. Great experience!
would take again. a very fun professors. learned everything in a 12 day winter intercession period. exam is very easy....... very smart down to earth professor. very personable...
Took him in the fall because my friend told me to and I'm very happy. This man made my HCC experience great and I will take him for as many classes as he teaches. He really teaches his students and cares about us
He was a great teacher that always followed the syllabus. He is the head of the English department so just make sure your grammar is on point. I took him for African american literature and will take him for English 2 next semester. Take him but don't miss class because he will call you out lol
He is a great professor and his journal and research papers are not that difficult. Just b ready to start writing in third person
Read the novel that you choose, Do not procrastinate. He is there for you and he is great 10/10
If you're looking for a English 1101 or 1102 I highly recommend Mr. Brock. He's is the best and he's very easy! All of the writing assignments are clear and understandable.
Mr. Brock is amazing if you're just coming from high school or going back to school and need 1101 or 1102 better take Brock! I was a horrible writer before taking his classes my writings improved 100% after taking him.
Dr. Brock is a great professor. He's pretty funny & blunt but he can get serious if he needs to. Lots of papers but he tells you exactly what he expects and give you plenty of time to write them. He gives lots of feedback on every single paper so that the next one can be even better. If you do the work and try hard then you'll do just fine :)
Online class, a paper is due every Friday by midnight. Tough grader but once you realize what he is looking for in your papers you will be able to get better grades on them. Get ready to read a lot and write a lot but overall not a hard class. Make sure to write in third person when he asks for it. He marks off for a lot of technical errors.
Dr. Brock is very sarcastic but in a good way. He doesn't sugarcoat anything and he demands your attention. class, listen, and take notes and you will pass. Tough grader but he explains every mistake on all your papers.
Dr. B is probably the best writing professor I ever took at HCC. He's very straight forward when comes to assignments and discussion. You're going to need both the volume of the textbooks. It's a lot reading and researching but it will benefit you for the final exam. He can be critical when it comes to grading paper. But he gives great feedback
Dr. Brock is amazing teacher at HCC he make me best writer if you come from high school straight to college take him !! I recommend him to people who are not good in writing or English !
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!
Professor Brock is one of the best professor that I have encountered and I am grateful for all that I have learned from him
Amazing!!!! Would recommend anyone to him. Gives great feed back , funny . Straight to the point with what you want to hear.
Any Vets going back to school who need to take ENC 1101 I HIGHLY encourage you to take his class simple because how well he breaks the material down it is literally impossible to fail this class he gives you all the tools to excel from the first to the last day.
I loved this class!!!!
amazing lectures!!
Can't go wrong with him. I wish he taught all of my classes. Makes hcc look good
Dr. D Brock is a gem! Course outline is clear. Class strongly relies on your choice of Novel. Read, complete papers, participate and sure to pass. Compare & Contrast, Persuasive, Annotated Bibliography, Analytical Research Papers. A lot of writing but you will appreciate at the end so much to learn. Group presentation. I recommend.
this is a good tea cher
I took professor Brock for ENC-1101 he is the best! I took this class in the winter session which is only two weeks long. He is the best teacher you will ever have! In the two weeks he was on schedule and organized. I will take him again for ENC 1102 I recommend him big time!
I took ENC1101 at the YBOR campus. Mr. Brock is nice, funny, and his class was easy. He gives good/positive feedback on papers, and he just wants you to pass and will help you do so. If you fail his class you literally was not trying.
Im sure hes probably a great guy in classroom setting, but I would not recommend him for online AML2000. His grading style isnt specific, just a number grade on a research paper.
Thats my teacher. He does give feedback on research papers. He marked mine up. Easy to talk to and he cares I was glad he gave me a C. That other person mustve failed cause Brock is good.
I usually dont post comments but Brock is the real deal. I cant just sit here and read this lie about my fav. teacher. Dont try to do papers on your phone and check for errors. It wont work. I learned that on my first journal last year in another class. Dr. B is a great guy. Click that blue bubble to check your mistakes. He is the only teacher
Brock is a very good professor. He makes sure everyone understands everything that he goes teaches and he shoes that he genuinely cares.
Dr. Brock was a great professor; however, he is a no-nonsense type of guy. There is no wiggle room on late assignments, and there are no resubmitting papers for better grades. He expects you to do the work, and do it on time. That being said, I do feel I left his class a better-prepared writer, so overall very beneficial.
Hilarious and fair
Dr. Brock is a great professor.
Honestly one of the best (if not the best) teachers I've ever had. He was not only clear on all assignments, but his classes were very enjoyable and cheered me up even when I didn't feel like being in school. You will miss things if you don't go to class, and the final exam is taken online at home. Take notes on the papers and look at his feedback!
Took this class online and he was not willing to help when I was confused, he just kept telling me to reference websites and not just give me a straight answer. Pretty tough grader. From other reviews he seems to be a better teacher in person, so if you are doing this class online, I would find another teacher.
I took this class online and he was not willing to help when I was confused, he just told me to reference websites and not just give me a straight answer. Pretty tough grader. Email him he replays when the assignment already was due.
He a really solid choice to choose as your first professor when you start college, he is clear and concise on what he wants when you turn in your papers and most of the assignments are an easy pass as long as you do your research.
If you like to write this is the class for you. If you don't like to write get ready to find new skills you didn't know you had. 5 paper total, 1 group project, and a final.
He is not willing to work students. He fails paper with no feed back. Never any communication between teacher and student. If you are taking this class online be prepared to fail. He has all the courses set up already the only thing he does is grade. There might as well be no professor for this class. If you already signed up for his class get out!
Good professor overall, but just be sure to follow the course material TO THE TEE. He will not hesitate to dock you points for so much as putting FirstName, LastName, instead of LastName, FirstName (Real example). Doesn't give a whole lot of feedback in regards to papers, so it's kind of up to you to find where you went wrong.
Dr. Brock is a really good professor. He will help you if yo need him. You can get an A on this class, but make sure you follow directions and never procrastinate. I would highly recommend getting someone to proof read your essays in the Tutoring Center to make sure everything is in shape. Grammar is strictly graded in this class.
The class has very few assignments, so there is not much work. He grades relatively easily and his grades tend to focus more on formatting and grammar than the actual content. Discussion assignments are basically participation, just make sure they get turned in on time. Note that you don't actually have to finish the book that you choose, I didn't.
Dr. Brock really is a great professor. All assignments and expectations are explained in the syllabus super clear so I never had any questions. As an online course there are grammar quizzes weekly based off the textbook and essays/discussions every other week. Writing skills are VERY important and will make or break your grade.
Very few assignments but get read to read. Nothing to difficult though.
The way the class is set up is pretty redundant. I hate the setup it makes doing the assignments difficult. Most teachers have the work in modules. He has the work sprawled through the syllabus and the todo section instead of just one exact area. The modules are filled with readings and powerpoints which aren't even organized He Provides 0 feedback
Seems like a pretty cool dude. His instructions for assignments are very clear but also thorough so definitely pay attention. Check for grammar and MLA errors or else you will lose points. Also make sure your ideas are clear and easy to understand. Sends a lot of emails and doesn't take late work. Not too bad though.
Very clear instructions on what to do. Not a tough grader, I am not a very good writer but got good grades on my writing assignments. Not a hard class, easy to pass if you do the assignments correctly.
As long as you understand MLA and do the reading most assignments are a breeze. Aside from that, no communication, scattered, poorly labeled resources on Canvas. Easiest class of that semester turned into the hardest due to the scavenger hunt I had to have for any information. If you do anything wrong, there's no communication so no fixing it.
He is the best teach anyone could ask for. He is not only approachable but makes the lectures so fun and interesting. Overall his class is a 10/10 and I am taking his next class.
The readings given are incredibly biased and outdated, then taught as fact. The organization of canvas is atrocious. No communication in the case of assignment grades. There is nothing progressive or cutting edge about the way he teaches us to write, it feels borderline archaic. You can find a better professor elsewhere, I assure you.
Amazing!!! Such a great guy just do the hw and you will be fine:)
The best professor ever! He always tries to help to improve in his classes. Good and funny man!
I would recommend everyone to take Professor Brocks class. He works with everyone in the class and wants to see you pass his class with a good grade. If you put in effort and go to class, there's no reason to not get an A+
this professor has been the fastest grader i've ever had. personally i feel as though his grading is very fair. he sends updates throughout the semester and reminds students to stay on task. such an easy course to follow online. i would recommend dr. brock to anyone and everyone!
He is a very nice person, but not a very good professor. His grading criteria was never clear to me, especially when I went to the tutoring and my tutor said there was not much wrong with my papers. Because I'm a dual student, he switches the due dates for assignments, which never fit into my schedule so I was always left rushing on my assignments.
If nitpicking was a person it would be him.For someone who grades so harshly he has the worst class setup & the worst process of grading. I had 3 different papers that I worked on with tutors that they graded as A's, he will grades them as Cs. His quizzes he doesn't even teach you on and they're random but worth a ton of points. AVOID TAKING HIM!
Very understanding and kind.
Professor Brock was down-to-earth yet firm, understanding, and fair. He gives good feedback and will let you know if you wrote a paper on something he genuinely found interesting. Wants to make sure everyone is doing well and understands things thoroughly. Would definitely take class with him again should the opportunity arise.
Professor Brock is very kind and always makes sure everyone is on track, and you can email him if you need help. His grading technique is kind of strange... You could write the best essay you've ever written, have it double-checked by the writing center, and it'll come back with a low score. Other than that, it's been a good class.
Good Professor. Tells you exactly what is expected. Gives you samples of each assignment. Not too tough on grading, but he is not just giving out 100s. Definitely a good option, and I am taking him for ENC1102.
He gave solid feedback on my work. The work wasn't very easy or very hard because he has examples of each assignment. The only annoyance was the reading, but most of it was optional. I'd recommend him to people looking for a straightforward class where you'd actually learn while still getting an A out of it.
Week by week, this class was easy to follow and complete. He had examples of most writing assignments posted and modules explaining how to do them. At max, you could get 2% extra credit, and he only used the textbook for grammar quizzes. Overall, if you want a straightforward class that you learn a bit from, take this class. Only 2 full essays too!
I took both ENC 1101 and ENC 1102 with this teacher. All the work was extremely easy as it was just a simple discussion post after reading a few readings. There were about 4 essays with a very clear rubric and examples that you can use for reference. I loved this teacher, he was so understanding, and the class was really interesting.
Just did not care about his students. You have a quick question, "it's in the syllabus" you look in the syllabus, and it is barely an answer. Everything is so poorly set up. And he is just plain rude. bad teacher, and grades like a tyrant. Don't take him.
The online class with him was overall easy. He gives clear details and examples of how to do the essays. Additionally he gives the option to receive extra credit. However, he is not as friendly. He sends a message to all the students, saying that if they fail its their fault and not the professor since for everyone his class is easy. Unnecesary
This class was very easy to follow and you should easily get an A as long as you follow the syllabus. This professor is very understanding and responds very quickly. I would definitely recommend this professor to everyone and would take a class of his again.
Dexter Brock is the best professor ever. He is head of the board and also a USF professor so he can set the own rules. Just makes the class easier for us. He will give you the answers to everything and basically grade papers if you actually show up to class the day before or on due date. Life lessons taught here. Respectfully, a big teddy bear.
This professor was very unhelpful with the things I reached out for help with and was an extremely tough grader. If you did not format your paper 100% correctly he would refuse to give proper feedback. Theres lots of LONG readings and he was very adamant about not blaming his for anything that goes wrong. 0/10 would NEVER take again.
I took his class online. He offers extra credit points when you go to tutoring sessions. I recommend doing them because they can look over your paper before you turn it in and give you feedback, and you receive extra credit points also. Its a win win. The professor is nice and understanding. Do the work and you wont have any problems in his class.
worst professor ever. he's highly RUDE & UNPROFESSIONAL, constantly sending out unneccesary messages talking down to students while calling out a specific NUMBER of students who are failing his course. even when you do everything he asks and beyond, he still nitpicks any and everything to give you the lowest grade possible. TAKE SOMEONE ELSE!
Dr. Brock was a great professor, and singlehandedly taught me that just because something was written in the 1800's, doesn't make it boring. You will have to read a full 19th century novel for this class, and your enjoyment of it is likely predicated on how much you like your novel. I chose the Picture of Dorian Gray, which I highly recommend.
Professor was very lenient when it came to turn in assignments. Also gave good feedback and was assigned homework every week. Would recommend to take him. His class is not hard at all.
Mr. Brock was a great overall professor. His assignments were clear and I had him only for an 8 week English Comp. 1 class and it felt like a 16 week class with the course load. His class was overall very easy and if you do the work you'll no doubt get at the bare, bare minimum a B.
This teacher claims and brags about how his course is so easy when it is not. He will give bad grades on papers even though you did what he told you and if you used his sample writings. I received A's on all my papers through high school and my other college courses, but for some reason I can't even get higher then a B-. Would not recommend.
I'm not sure if this professor is adding the positive ratings himself to get students to enroll because there's no way anyone had a positive experience he is impossible he provides no feedback, doesn't communicate at all and is unprofessional don't make the same mistake as me DON'T PICK HIM!!
Professor Brock is the best professor I have had at HCC. I did dual enrollment in my junior and senior years and took ENC 1101 and ENC 1102 with him. I had a fantastic time during both classes. ENC 1101 is high school English with discussions about readings. I wouldn't say I like reading, yet I found the readings interesting. Best English teacher!!
I was extremely sick the first two weeks of class, I could barely get out of bed. This was a six week course. I still managed to get an A. How? Dr. Brock wants his students to succeed and gives you all the tools and data, down to a time management table to pass his class. There is a lot of reading, but they are all worth the read. He's amazing.
Was recommended by a employee who works here and said he was awesome. Clearly wasn't. He was not nice whatsoever. Turned in a assignment and only wrote that it was not done properly when I did as followed. Did not make any sense.
If you enjoy English courses, specifically writing assignments, you will enjoy ENC1101 with Dr. Brock. He makes his rubrics very clear and sticks to them, and if you need any assistance he replies quickly and gives great feedback. There aren't a lot of reading assignments, but if you don't enjoy writing then I would suggest another teacher.
His assignments are very straight forward with easy to understand instructions. Grades according to his rubric and provides insightful feedback.
Professor Brock's ENC1101 class is manageable if you put in the work. The assignments are clear, and the feedback is helpful. I found Unstuck study super useful for study prep - definitely saved me some time.
He is the best and his class was extremely helpful. He provides a detailed grading rubric to ensure you know what to expect. He clearly explains the mechanics of essays and shares the list of activities and their submission deadlines. His feedback on essays is excellent. You need to stay on top by completing all homework and meeting deadlines.
Just a bad teacher please take Dr. Kenefick. She is actually helpful and grades well. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.
Simple rules. Planned out lectures. You can't say you didn't know because he lets you know from the beginning, from the middle, at the time! He uses AI detection yes but with all honesty you don't need it. All you have to do is explain what the story was about and that's it. Simple and straightforward.
I cannot think of a nice thing to say. Just take someone else.
Easy class if you do the work. He provides a guideline of EXACTLY what he wants, as long as you follow that you will do great. loved his class for English 1 and will be taking him for English 2.
He cares about his students. He wants everyone to do good and helps you out however he can.
No submission comments on things that were graded poorly, my first B ever and idk why. Passive aggressive af too.
The absolute BEST professor hands down. he make learning fun and he makes the assignments very easy to follow. Dr. Brock truly cares about his students very funny teacher I took both ENC1101 and ENC1102 w him I am someone who hates writing essays however he provides a basic outline of how your essay should look. The workload is not too heavy either
good professor.
This class is literally so easy and navigable. Just completely copy the format he gives for each of the written assignments but obviously use your own ideas and writing and it's an easy A.
I took Dr. Brock's class in a 6-week period, and I highly recommend that others take his class. The course material is easy to understand, and he provides PowerPoint presentations and lectures to teach you. He also provides sample writings. It's NOT hard to get an A or a B, but you have to be willing to do the work.
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!
Wouldn't take again; lacks communication, like a lot.
