Young professor, very smart, helpful, and nice. He's not an easy A, he will expect you to actually learn the information. He gives plenty of feedback on papers, so pay attention to what he says, he gets frustrated if you keep making the same mistakes after he's told you about it. A LOT of poetry.

he is nice, but a tough grader. if you enjoy english take him, but if you don't appreciate poetry pass on him. i was confused the first couple of weeks of class but it got clearer throughout the class. he offers a lot of xxtracredit opportunities, which help. the class discussions are interesting and i did learn a lot.

If you do what is required you will be sure to pass easily. He is not a hard professor at all!! I would take him again!!

offers alot of extra credit and plenty of opportunity! Seems 2 care about students interest more than anything.... he loves english and even lets u callhim by his firtst name! loved grant! will take 4 engl 1102! his in class essays are reasonable and his office hours were great he really wants students 2 pass so do all assignments and u will pass!

Helpful, cares about the student, but sometimes is unclear on what assignments are and how they should be done.

Mr. Grant was an amazing teacher. I'm not a fan of english but he made it so much fun. I wouldn't say he's easy but he's a fair grader, and he's always willing to help after class for anything. He is very passionate about what he teaches, & is very approachable. He reads every paper and his critique's are very helpful. Also generous on xtra credit.

Very helpful. Fun.

If you want to learn how to properly write the English language, pick Grant. If you want to cruise by, do not pick him. Simple as that...

Grant is tough, but definitely the teacher to take if you really want to learn how to write a good paper. Many believe he grades their papers so harshly because he doesn't agree with them, but he's actually trying to make them write more on other points of view so that they make solid, well-formed arguments instead of emotionally charged rants.

Simon's the man. In what is supposed to be one of the hardest courses in the nation, he made he seem so easy. His rye humour is the best too.

Yes, he's definitely very hard in grading papers.. Don't expect to get higher than a C in in-class essays, but if you do well at everything else, like turning in the journal and major papers, you can still pass the class with a B or a high A. He's very funny and his lectures are not boring at all!!!

His grading is tough. When asked if he ever gives A's he said rarely. But his lectures and in class discussions are relatively entertaining considering the subject. I can see where the people claiming he is rude are coming from, but I had no problem with him in that respect. I guess he is an acquired taste.

Clear cut, fair professor. If you can't pass his course then drop out of school now and save yourself some time and money.

I think he's great. Some people say he's a tough grader, but I've gotten B's on half of my in-class essays and A's on other papers. He offers a lot of extra credit, but you need to look out for it because he doesn't really come out and say it. Extra credit tends to be writing one page on a movie or play you saw at school.

I suggest taking this class only if you can handle a tough love approach to being taught. He isn't a jerk in person, and if you are with him while he's marking up a paper with comments, you are able to understand he isn't being mean when he writes them. He helps a lot, you just can't be sensitive.

I didn't mind Grant at all. It was tough at first to understand what he was looking for in a paper, but he gives a lot of comments, not to be a butt head, but to challenge you to see other points of view to develop a better arguement. I also learned more grammar in this semester than i've learned all through high school.

I really don't get why people are talking down on Prof Grant. Yes, he is hard and you have to actually work for your grade, but the times I went to him for help, he was willing to help. English at ASU is not easy, but that will be any professor you take here. He definitely prepared me for ENGL1102, and trust me, you will want that.

Professor Grant is sooo GREAT!He is super laid back and isn't hard at all if you do what you are suppose to do like read each assignment, study, and take notes. Gives tons of extra credit so take advantage of it. I would definitely recommend him to someone who plans on taking Humanities.

Took Grant last semester for English. He is pretty easy if you stay on top of reading and write your papers. I got an A in the class, but a lot of my in-class essays got a C- or better. Just fix your papers according to his comments. And he will help you with papers if you just ask. Also, he gives tons of extra credit.

He was a great professor!

I'd definitely take him again for 2002! ONLY took humn b/c it's required, I was glad I had Grant. Super easy! He gives random easy pop quizes & TONS of extra credit opportunities! & takes it EASY on you for the interdisciplinary essays! Also I'm pretty sure he curves b/c my quiz grades sucked & I still got an A, of course I studied a little!

I am taking professor Grant for English 1101. His class is kind of boring but he is a good professor. He gives intense feedback on your papers so you can make them better. He is also very helpful and will answer all of your questions. I'm taking him again for 1102 and I would recommend taking him

I had no problem with this professor. Yes I did struggle in this class but I stayed after and talked to him about assignments and essays that we were working on and he helped me a lot. Showing you care to him is crucial for your success in this class. One of the best professors I've had. He really taught me a lot and improved my essay writing.

Prof Grant is a little strange but I loved his class! His lectures can be a bit boring, but he made everything easy. We had 3 papers, 3 mini papers, and a presentation. He is very easy to get along with, and always gave good feedback on papers. If you come to class everyday you can easily do well. I would highly recommend him!

Professor Grant was not the most interesting lecturer and he does ramble on. However, his assignments are minimal and essentially easy. He does expect you to pay attention and participate in class. He only assigns 3 essays throughout the semester and gives back rough drafts with clear suggestions of how to revise.

Professor Grant is a great teacher. He is clear on assignment requirements. You have many opportunities to correct assignments prior to final submission. Seek assistance if needed; he is more than willing to help whenever needed. There is no reason to get a bad grade in his class when you submit the work on time.

Prof. Grant's class is fairly simple. 3 essays throughout the whole semester with a few smaller assignments sprinkled throughout. The lectures can be boring but some do help out greatly with what you'll need for the essays. He grades tough but gives great feedback on your rough drafts to allow you to be able to write a strong final essay.
