He's a really cool guy... however when it comes to writing papers, he's kind of unclear on what he wants and there is no structure which makes it hard to get a grade above a C.

Didn't really care for this instructor at all. Had him for an online class. He is a difficult grader and he makes you write 5 papers. He can be sarcastic and "smart" with some of his remarks and I didn't find it to be appealing. Don't recommend taking him

DO NOT TAKE CREATIVE WRITING AT MORAINE. The professor is knowledgeable and probably not a bad teacher but he has taken out every element of Creative Writing. and the class has become a drag.

Grade: Drop/Withdrawal
Nov 3, 2022

In the begining I thought this was going to be a good class. His marking makes no sense! He answers a question with another question. I feel like he does not want his students to pass. He does not accept late work, even if its not even a day late. withdrawing from the class was the better option before receiving a F. Pick a different class!!!!!!!!

Great teacher, and checks over your work doing his office hours. Easy A, gives great feedback on essays. Attendance is easy grade points as well. Sometimes is confusing with the feedback that he gives, and he returns it with another question.

He pushed me to work hard and learn about writing. I don't really like to write, but he helped me see I can do it anyway. He does answer questions with questions, but he isn't trying to be confusing. I actually think he's trying to get us to think for ourself. Nice guy, learned lots. Would take again.

He is the most AMAZING professor I've got. He's super funny, and helps a lot no matter how many times you ask him for help he will gladly answer you! His lectures are unique and not boring AT ALL, I never got bored in his class, I was always excited to go and listen to him talk. Highly recommended!!!

I took Professor DeVillez last semester for Com 101, I ended with an A but it took a bit of work. He is a tough grader but he gives really good feedback for you to do better on the next essay which is helpful. His lectures feel long but I found most of what he was saying helped me a lot.

Prof. De Villez makes students earn their grade. If you are a leach to society and want to skate by with little to no effort you may not enjoy this class. How ever, if you want to receive a good education this is the way to go. He challenges everyone to think further than the prompt. He is a tough grader but gives great critiques.

Maybe that last reviewer had an easy time in 102 because DeVillez taught a lot in 102? Hmm. . . . I learned a lot. It wasn't easy, but I don't think it should be. This is college.

He is a really nice teacher, but if some circumstances like a family passing occurs. He doesn't care if that happens, if the assignment isnt completed to his desire, he will fail you.

COM101 started full, but many left midway. In COM098, I left early and let him know, later I got an email from him telling me to drop, and when I asked why, the response was, "how about you tell me." He tells students to leave if you have no questions, but gets upset when you do, like is that a trick question? Please pick a different class!!!

Professor De Villez was the professor who inspired me to keep going in my education. I was the oldest in my COM-101 class 2 years back but he kept me motivated. Through his assignments I regained my love of writing I had lost. He is very firm on how the essays should be written, but he offers feedback & guidance when you ask for his help.

This course was fairly easy and as long as you stay on top of work you should come out with a good grade. Only issue I have is discussion posts; there are a lot of them and he's one of those professors who hides them within the modules tab instead of labeling them as assignments so make sure you check each week.

he's actually the worst teacher I've ever had I recommend people never to take him for this class come 101. It says don't talk.However he doesn't give good instructions he is not fair at all and doesn't care about people putting effort in is not enough. Don't take him for a summer course he is very objective and barely teaches the right way
