Easy class, write 10 500 word papers with the chance to correct them for full credit, and he also corrects them for you. Nice guy but really boring lectures.

hes such a nice teacher and makes it pretty easy for you overall..... you can redo papers for better grades........the only reason i ended up wit a B is because if you miss 3 days of class he takes 10% off your final grade
Professor Peterson is one of the nicest teachers at HCC. He gives you plenty of opportunities to make an A, if you give EFFORT! HIGHLY recommend him.
Peterson is seriously the nicest and most down to earth person you will ever meet! He let you re-write your essay until you get the highest grade. grammar hw is easy and you can always ask for help. Though sometimes he does get a bit boring by talking a lot but his discussion is always so interesting!

Mr. Peterson is one of the sweetest professors at HCC. He is understanding of personal issues outside of class and works with you if need be. He is extremely helpful when it comes to assignments and even tutors in the reading commons. TAKE PROFESSOR PETERSON! I took him for 2 semesters and I do not regret it, hands down best English Professor!
Mr. Peterson is one of the best teachers at H.C.C. In fact, he really enjoys teaching students.
The best professor at HCC, My favorite. Very knowledgeable person. Love him. TAKE HIM!!!
TAKE PROF PETERSON!!! His class is so easy, but you learn. Your final grade is all of your points added which consists of three 1000 words essays, five 500 word short essays, in class writings, and little grammar quizzes (if he wants to) And an essay type final (unless you like your grade) STRESS FREE CLASS! And he is so sweet and helpful :)
TAKE HIM! He is a great teacher. I actually loved this class. It was very laid back, he accepts late work without penalty if you are in a bind, and gives you chances to redu your work if need be. You will not fail his class if you put in effort. TAKE HIM!
God bless professor Doug Peterson. He is such a sweet person and he cares about his students. I have learned a lot in his class, and I passed with a B. Thank you for all your help sir. You're a motivation!! Nothing but respect for you.
He's an amazing teacher, and he really tries to make sure you pass the class, and understand the material. He is very understanding if you have a situation which prohibits you from turning work on time.
Mr. Peterson is one of the nicest people that you will ever meet. He's one of those teachers were no answer is ever wrong, but it's always "close" or, "Here's a better answer..." We watched several interesting documentaries, didn't write a research people, minimal homework, and there was no final exam. 10/10 would recommend Mr. Peterson.
Very kind and caring teacher allows you to rewrite your essays for maximum amount of points allowed and very flexible i am taking him for 1102
Prof. Peterson is the BEST prof. at HCC! I took him for both 1101 & 1102. He is beyond helpful and understanding. I wish he had taught more classes, because his class was always the highlight of my day. His class is very laid back;as long as you show up, write your papers, take his advice, & ask questions if you don't understand, you'll pass w/A+!
Mr. Peterson,is definitely the best professor ever. I am so glad I took ENC 1101 & 1102 with him. He is very passionate in teaching English, you will learn a lot and if you follow his instruction you'll do great. Mr. Peterson is the nicest and humble person I ever met. I do Highly recommend this professor.
Professor Peterson is the most inspiring and positive professor I have come across! He is passionate about his subject matter, and teaches it well! He will work with almost any skill level and you will not only leave a better writer, but more confident. He knows literature well, and teaches it even better. He is the best professor at HCC by far.
Mr. Peterson is an excellent professor. He is very passionate in what he is doing and transmit good feelings. He is a very kind and good person. Always there when you need him and explains clearly any doubt. I strongly recommend this professor.
Mr. Peterson, was hands down the best English professor that I had so far! He is very simple and is also passionate about teaching. He does give grammar quizzes and essays, but he would prefer to grade you on your efforts. He cares more about a student learning than strictly just giving them a grade for their mistakes. I highly recommend him!
His class are pretty easy if you do all the work he wants you to do. He is a nice guy and always there if you have questions. Had a great time in his class. TAKE HIM!
Professor Peterson is an amazing teacher! I'm so glad I took him for ENC1101, and will definitely take his class for ENC1102. He really cares about his students, and is always available if you need any extra help.
He is a great teacher. He will try to answer any questions that you have. I would highly recommend taking his class. It's easy to get an A in his class. As long as you show up to class and write the small stories he requires, it is almost impossible to fail his class. I wish all my teachers were as easy and helpful as he was.
Prof. Peterson is a great person. His class is easy but not in a bad way. He wants you to know the information, but the material is common sense! If you want an A, put an effort in on your speeches. Make it something interesting. Quizzes and final are super easy. Straight from book and ppts... read them. Short, and like I said, common sense.
He is the best professor I have had. He allows extended time on papers and allows you to correct mistakes to receive a higher grade. I would recommend him!
Amazing professor, amazing guy. Took him for english 1 & 2. No way you can't get an A.
Best professor ever! I was scared to take English 2 but he made the course so easy to understand! Wish I could take him for another course. Gives great feedback, work load is good and he is very nice and understanding! Take him!! Buy the textbook.
He is the the BEST American Professor!! I am taking his class ENC1102 now. Professor Peterson is a respected professor. He can remember all students name at first time. He is so nice and answer all questions. He helps every students get A. If you follow his rules, you will pass absolutely and easy get A+++++
Professor Peterson is an amazing professor! Not so much that he's an easy A, you have to earn it as in any other class. Do your work so that he can you the most feedback. He is available to help you understand. Take him! You will not regret it! He has a passion for what he touches and I thought I did not like literature but he made me love it!
Professor Peterson is amazing and one of the best teachers I've ever had. His class is easy yet informational; all classwork is graded on completion. He lets you make up every essay you do for extra credit and gives tons of other extra credit opportunities. I wish I would have taken him for ENC 1101. Easy A if you do what he asks & pay attention
He is one of the BEST PROFESSORS i ever come across. He is easy on the grading and very understandable for late works. Although, his class can get a little boring from time to time, it will be all fine. I took him for enc1101 and enc1102! Just turn in all the work and its an easy A!
BEST PROFESSOR EVER
i had him for ENC 1101 this semester that just passed. it is an easy A class, if you do all essays! and he gives out extra credit all the time. hes a little boring sometimes. after the each quiz he goes over them Easy A! hopefully his 1102 class opens up next semester 2016.
He's a very easy going and helpful man. You will be graded by the quality of your writing. He's generous with the grades. He is flexible and understanding. I purchased the textbook, but think I would have survived without it. He expects participation and seems to get upset if you don't.
He was really helpful when it came to essays. He would help you and give you the points you deserve. He was a really easy grader, gave you extra time to turn in work. Up until the last day, which was good for some students. If you missed a lot of classes, he would mark your grade down. Overall I liked his class.
This Professor is amazing and I highly recommend him. He is very understanding, approachable, flexible and just an overral great teacher. I recieved an A+ in his course thanks to his generosity. Take his course!
Great professor
He's an amazing teacher. you get 12 essays. 10 essays are 500 words and 2 are 1,000, and you get 2 grammar quizzes . he is really an easy grader and if you make a mistake in your papers and if you hand them in on time, he will let you correct your mistakes and hand it in again.
It's INSANE how nice and sweet Doug is. LOVE HIM. Impossible to NOT get an A in his class. Do all the homework, which are EASY. He gives so much opportunity for you to bring your grade up. VERY understanding. I bought the Browns book b/c it looks like a good investment the Patterns book i found a link online. He mostly blows up the pages on board.
He changed how canvas factors your grade so it dropped my 4 points and then blamed it on me saying I didn't put the effort into the class. He's rude and talks about you if you get up and leave the class. He has no control of his classes and then gets mad when no one pays attention. It's like being in highschool all over again.
amazing!!!!
Wonderful professor! He really cares about you actually learning, not just passing. I highly recommend him.
He is a great professor. He really cares about his students and does all he can to help them understand the material. He loves teaching and is always happy. He assigns short essays on the readings from class. He gives a few grammar quizzes, but they are really easy. I loved going to his class. His kind personality always brought a smile to my face
The Instructor made this class a great experience. He is interested in his students ; He explains everything in detail and in a way that anyone can understand. I am not from America, and I learned a lot of things I never knew. its an amazing class! Dr. Peterson is a wonderful instructor! I would definitely recommend his class. Take him ;).
Best teacher ever. No matter how bad your eassy is, he wiil always give you a chance to correct it and still give you an A. Nicest teacher i have ever seen.
I absolutely love this professor!! He is suuper suuper sweet, very loving soul, very helpful, is always smiling, does the most he can to help students out... honestly he is the best professor I have ever had!
This professor is phenomenal!!! As long as you do your assignments and participate you will receive an A. He is understanding and very passionate when he teaches. The material that you will read in this class is very diverse and can relate to everyone. He also grades in a timely manner and provide great feedback. HE IS AWESOME TAKE HIM NOW!!!
Mr. Peterson was everything i needed this semester. He was extremely kind and understanding. Most of your workload will be writing papers which i enjoyed. He gives great feedback and is a genuine person. Honestly, you have to try to fail this class. Show some effort and you will pass.
Awesome professor. References from the textbooks all the time and there are a few assignments from them, but I completed the class without it. He gives more than enough time to turn in assignments. His personality is amazing, he is so sweet and full of knowledge. would definitely again!!
Unbelievably sweet man. He's always full of smiles and lights up the room with happiness. The work load is easy and reasonable. Will definitely be taking him again for English Composition 2.
Great professor! The topics for the essays are interesting and gives plenty of time to do it.
He has helped me a whole lot with my essays and with my rough drafts. If you are having any trouble with the assignments or with tests, he is the best professor to have.
He is an excellent professor. You will have to write a few papers, but the topics are really easy and he will give plenty time to turn them in. Grammar quizzes are really easy and one of them will be your final. I would definitely take him for ENC 1102
Professor Peterson is what makes an AMAZING professor. He is super laid back and chill. He let's you turn in assignment even a month late and will only take away one point. I missed class so many times and I was still able to catch up with the workload. You have 6 writing assignments each 600 words and then a 1500 word research paper. TAKE HIM!!!!!
I loved this class; he genuinely cares about his students. There is a lot of writing of course, but the topics are easy to write about. He gives you fantastic feedback on your writing and allows you to redo an essay for a better grade.
Professor Peterson is an outstanding human being. He is very understanding, kind, graceful, and genuinely cares about his students. He will help you in any way you need, and has a good open availability. The work is not hard at all if you put forth the effort, so if you don't pass its because you didn't try and were too lazy. I HIGHLY recommend him
Mr. Douglass Peterson is the best teacher. He takes his job very seriously. He is always on time. Though summer class was too long but he made it very joyful. His way of teaching is very good. If you really want to learn then take his class.
Took his summer course. 7 in class writings, 2 research exercises, 6 group work activities, 4 short essays, annotated bibliography, copies of original sources, research paper, and final essay that is 500 words. I've taken summer classes before and by far the only professor who had me writing an 800 word essay every week. He's nice but that's all.
TAKE PROFESSOR PETERSON, HE IS THE BEST!!
Prof Peterson is so caring, extremely intelligent, and understanding prof! His class is easy as long as you do the work. He answers his emails asap and allows you to redo any assignment. Even if you have a good grade on the assignment. make friends with someone that has a textbook. You wont use it much, but when you do he allows you to share
Professor Peterson, Is THE BEST English professor, he is welcoming, knowledgeable, and really cares about his students. He is kind and will do anything to help you. Love him he is truly a great professor.
Prof. Peterson goes out of his way to help his students. He's also a very nice guy, take him, you won't regret it!!
Such a nice guy. He's very light on grading. Highly recomended
Honestly, Mr. Peterson is one of the nicest professors at HCC. Not only does he clearly show his love and enthusiasm for English, but his presence alone makes me smile. His personality is so empathetic and grandfatherly. You can see the benevolence in his eyes. I wish I could take him for ENC 1102, but I can take him for LIT 2000 in the fall. :)
Professor Douglas Peterson, is a wonderful teacher. Not only he is very knowledgeable, but also he is an outstanding human being. He genuinely care for his students. His ENC1101 class is an easy A if you do the homeworks and make an effort .He is very flexible if an student has a situation . Over all Mr. Douglas is selfless and knowledgeable .
FANTASTIC GUY.... LOVED HIM, he wrote my recommendation letter. if he wasn't a professor he'd be a great fun. very wise and smart and cracks funny jokes from time to time and grades like a blessing. overall i got a A+
Easiest A I've gotten so far, my friend had a grade of 105.67% at the end of the semester. Extra credit is basically given for every assignment if you do good enough, no final exam, essays are super short 600 words usually. Take him, super super superrrr easy A+.
Professor Peterson deeply cares about his student and works with you if you had any problems. As long as you attended most of the class, you will do well in his class. I really enjoyed his class, I wish I could take him for another class.
he is a total sweetheart, gives great feedback, and is also very lenient and understanding when it comes to turning in a paper late. I totally reccomend to take his class
TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!! you have 500 words essay almost every week but my writing has become better. I was horrible when it came to writing, but this class helped a lot. He is a light grader. After you do 2 or 3 essays you will find it very essay to do the next essays. Their are no grammar test. He is such a nice guy, I would love to have him again.
This professor is very kind and caring. He gives journals due every week, about 500 hundred words, but very easy to do and easy grader. Just do the work and it'll be a breeze.
He is so easy and makes literature more fun and understanding. Attendance is mandatory and sometimes he will do in class assingments
Mr. Peterson: outright my top three favorite professors at HCC. I took him for ENC1101 & LIT2000. He is a very kind older man and is so incredibly easy to talk to. Most of the time, I even stopped by his office just to conversate! LIT2000 covered Don Quixote, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and more a general audience would enjoy. I'll miss having him.
Professor D is such an amazing person. Yes you have to do reading journals 500 word count due to the Gordon rule. He actually cares for each and everyone of in the class. If you at least try he will give you the credit. I will most definitely be taking him for ENC1102. YOU WONT REGRET TAKING HIM!!!!!!
He is a very easy going good professor, he does in class participation each day, not a lot of outside homework necessary. Very easy grader.
Take professor Peterson for ENC1011! He grades easy. I got an A on all of my papers and I know Im not the best writer. He gives positive feedback too! His grammar lectures are boring but you dont really need to pay attention. The in class writing and journals are so easy. Take him if you want an easy A!
Best professor ever!! Take him you wont regret it. He helps you in everything and gives extra credit. He is also very caring for his students .
He is great...... In his class we do many things in one day without even getting pressurized because he make them fun and very easy for us. He is also an easy grader.
Professor Peterson is a very nice guy. Theres little homework and no quizzes or tests. There are 5 reading journals, in class grammar assignments, 7 in class writing assignments, and 1 1250-1500 word essay throughout the semester. The grammar final isn't really a final. The lectures are a bit boring. He lets you turn in assignments late. Easy A.
Professor Peterson's class is an easy A. If you do the homework and show up you will pass. There are five journal prompts 500 words each, a long essay, and in class assignments. He will give you extra credit for certain assignments. He is very caring and kind.
Professor Peterson is extremely caring. He gives great feedback, is an easy grader, gives extra credit if you fix the errors you made on your jorunals. Only 1 long essay of 1,250-1,500 words. No test, quizzes or finals. Very understanding, he actually cares about you passing the class. Definitely recommend.
An amazing professor who likes to take care of his students. Always there to help. BEST INSTRUCTOR I EVER HAD................
Professor Peterson was very nice and caring throughout the semester and wants you to succeed. It was a pretty easy A, just 4 written journals 600 words each and a couple of mini quizzes. Take him if you want an easy humanities course.
Very nice guy who understands students are human and gives leeway when he thinks appropriate.
For LIT, we watched a bunch of films. You have to do online journals but they are only 200 words and only due every few weeks. You have to buy a few books off amazon but its less than $20. He is really understanding, gives extra credit, willing to help, and very funny. The class is overall fun and I would recommend it to anyone.
Professor Peterson has by far been the most understanding and caring professor I have had. He truly cares about his students and wants to see you succeed.
He's my fav prof. He responds to all of my emails and gives meaningful feedback on assignments. The assignments are super easy and sometimes I don't realize I took a quiz. The discussions can count as an assignment and I get participation points. Since covid, there's more work online but they're easy and doable and at reasonable due dates. Love him
He loves his job and talks with a passion. He is eager to show funny clips related to the course. He responds to my emails and the work is easy. Since we moved online bc of covid, there's more work but they're easy and at reasonable due dates. He grades so generously, even if you make multiple spelling mistakes. If perfect, he'll give extra credit.
Best professor i have had so far ! Very easy and caring guy! Not a hard grader ! Essays were very easy ! Fast grader and will give time to turn in even after due date! Discussion assignments were easy! Gives good feedback! Definitely an easy A !
I have Professor Peterson for ENC 1101 and I will definitely take him for ENC 1102 next semester. He always gives you feedback on your writing without deducting points like professors usually do. Not that much work on his class, just the perfect amount. He is such a sweet person!
Super sweet, nice guy. He really wants you to pass and do well. As long as you try, you will get an A. Cannot stress enough, SUPER NICE. Always has a smile on his face, really brightened my whole day honestly. Will give you constructive criticism on your writing but won't penalize you if you are still developing your writing. Again, just try.
This class is such an easy A, he has no tests, just a few short quizes based off short storys and the only papers you have are short journal entries. The final paper at the end of the sem is an easy 2-3 pager. Just attend class and do the small amount of work he gives and theres your A! Prof. Peterson is so caring and understanding.
Professor Douglas is a very great and very nice teacher. He gives you plenty of chances to make up any grades, do not be afraid to ask questions. He likes to be involved with his students. An easy A as long as you do the assignments. Overall, the best teacher for incoming students :)
Professor Douglas is such an amazing professor. He is quick to grade, gives amazing feedback, and is very understanding. I turned in many assignments late because of mental health issues and he did not even deduct points. In fact, he gave BONUS points for my "great writing." Do the work and you will pass! TAKE ENG COMP WITH THIS PROFESSOR.
I loved this course, it was so easy with only around 5 essays ( mostly opinionated.) He gives you ALOT of smaller quizzes (5-10 q's) that you can take over and over for the best grade. He is a very caring guy who obviously loves what he does. Taking him is a MUST. Also free download of the textbook. You will not regret it!
I took him for 1101 and he was the best professor I could ask for. He gives great feedback and lets you correct what you did wrong for full credit.
Best English Professor!!! I am glad I took his class. Never had any regrets, very caring and as long as you submit the assignments even it was not on time he grades it without deduction. Very considerate and understanding professor. I'll take him again for ENC 1102. Easy A. As of now my grade is 98%. 10 out 10
Best Professor ever, he is really nice. Once you submit your work he will look at it and send you corrections that you can fix and send it to him again for 100%.
Highly recommend! There was a lot of work but its easy. A few essays and a lot of 5 to 10 question quizzes. He lets you take all quizzes and submit all essays over again until you get a 100%. If you do not have an A in this class then you are lazy! He genuinely cares! He lets you get 100% on everything because he says it helps you learn.
Professor Douglas Peterson, has been amazing with giving feedback and helping where you need it. As well as giving multiple opportunities to correct your grade to get the scores you desire. Hes been my favorite teacher by far and Ive learned so much from him. If he wasnt retiring I would request him for English comp 2. Hes a great teacher!
