he is the best teacher I have had so far . very helpful and will do anything to make sure you understand what it is he is teaching. We need more teachers like him. Do not take Mr Simpson what ever you do he is no good .
He is a great teacher. There is nothing to say bad about him. He makes it fun and makes you almost want to be there. But who really loves english.. NOT ME!! but i love coming to his class. He makes sure you understand everything, he even plays games like ball and hide-an-seek. Great teacher.

Great professor, I had a lot of fun and would certainly recommend him to my friends.
Mr.G ROCKS!!! My father was an English major and Mr. G makes me want to be also! He makes the pages come alive in a very real and interesting way. He brings enlightenment and fun to each reading. All the class discussion makes the course great!!! ~*Highly Recommended!!!*~
Professor Gunshanan is one of the greatest teachers I have ever had for Honors English, including High School. He is great with working with you when you have problems or have to miss class due to an illness. He is very understanding. He actually made English fun. Highly recommended!!!!
Easiest english professor ever, easy A

Mr. Gunshanan is one of the best english teachers you can have at DBCC. He really explains what he wants you to accomplish, and he takes the time to help you get there. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a good english teacher while attending DBCC.

He is an awesome teacher! Funny, very understanding, teaching method is great! He explains things so the student can really grasp it. I have gone back to him well after I was done with his class for other help. He's the type of teacher you make an extra trip just to say hi again. Definitely recommend him.
He keeps the class fun, although there are a lot of assignments.
Mr. G. is a nice and very humorous teacher, makes many jokes. Although, I did not always agree with his grades for the assignment; overall, I would recommend him, because he was very helpful, and I got an A for this course.
Mr. Gunshanan is awesome for those who really want to know college English. He is hard, but his classes are so much fun. You really forget that you're in class. His grading is strict but he very helpful. I loved his different method of teaching. Take him, you won't regret.
great teacher, very informative with material teaching. I would take him again.
He is the best college professor you will ever have during your experiece at DBC.
All around very good teacher! very helpful, and makes class intresting!
GREAT TEACHER! THE BEST!
I had him for two semesters and I absolutely loved him. Though at time I felt he graded my papers hard, he made me a better writer for it. LOVE him! Wish he had more classes. Makes English fun!
I LOVED Mr. G!! He is so easy to talk to and if you need help for anything he is more than willing to help... he loves to teach and is very funny! i would take him again if i could!! QUANTA
Gunshanan is my favorite professor so far! He is excellent and I hated English before I had him as a teacher. He always finds a way to make things interesting and he's pretty funny.
Mr. Gunshanan is AWESOME! He is funny, interesting, and tells you exactly what he expects from your work! I took Quanta with him as the English teacher... it was the best experience I've had at DSC!
Fantastic professor! He is informative and patient. So far he is my favorite professor at Daytona State. He keeps me interested in English, when before my teachers always kept me in a box.
He is a really good teacher. His grading is tough but you do learn in his class. He likes for the students to be involved and he doesnt like when you miss class. Great English Teacher but expect really work for a good grade!
not very patient
Best teacher that I ever had ;)
Frank is the best English teacher on campus. He makes the course work memorable,fun, and interesting. I will be taking all classes that i can with him.
he was the best english teacher i've had. he makes the class very fun and makes you want to come and pay attention. alot of group work and hands on. he explains anything as many times as you need. final review was amazing. his "vitamin" sheet works wonders. take him!
you are a very good professor, i wish i didnt have to be in class so early. i could have made an A.
Dr.G, he's the best, i took him for Enc0001, his "vitamins" and instruction very helpful.he the easiest and nicest teacher. I would take every class with him. He highly recomment it, he will fight for you. If you dont take him , you will b regret.
awesome professor very hands on. Very eager to help! He has so many ways to learn. Comma mommas and snoopy are awesome. I wasn't good with writing until this class. A+ professor
Makes learning fun. His "comma mamma" makes it easy to remember where to put the commas. Awesome teacher!!! Wish he was my teacher for all my classes.
Very funny, beyond helpful, and greatly appreciated. I loved this class and unlike classes I had previously, I remember and use everything he taught on a daily basis.
Best teacher at DBCC. Leaned so much (dreaded MLA!!)+ enjoyed his class. A true scholar and very foxxy.
Most amazing teacher you will ever have, helpful and will do anything to ensure you pass his class.He cares about his students, every teacher should be just like him.
love his classes, think he's kind of cute too. (he's not married FYI)
he is by far the best english teacher that i have ever had. he makes class so interesting and that makes it so easy to remember what you are learning. he is always willing to help if you have questions about anything.
He's the best. The end.
He literally is the best teacher! Hands down best English teacher I've ever had! He'll help you along the way to make sure that your writing improves. Highly recommend!
Prof. G is amazing! Fantastic teacher, very helpful. He makes English FUN, which is not an easy task. He should get a huge raise, and EVERYONE should take his classes!
Great Professor! Really took an interest in who I was and has shown me how to write and read more thoughtfully.
Prof. G is a cool dude. Really involved. Sometimes he lets the class get off track, but he seem to strive off the chaos. Would recommend you take one of his classes at least once. It's a great experience.
Quanta Class. Great teacher, awesome sense of humor. You will learn a lot from him.
This WAS A VERY INTERESTING COURSE FULL OF FUN AND LEARNING TECHNIQUES WERE AWESOME TAKE THIS CLASS AND MAKE SURE GUNSHANAN IS YOUR PROFESSOR. GREAT INSTRUCTOR.
G is a really great teacher. English has never been my strong suit but I learned a lot. When writing papers take heed to his comments. I got a lot of the same mistakes on most of my papers. Grades pretty moderate but expects things done a certain way. Easy to learn I recommend this class.
Frank Gunshanan is an incredibly helpful and patient professor. One who does not become irritated easily, Frank is a forthright yet understanding man, one whom understands and empathizes whatever level of English you're approaching his class with. I highly recommend taking Frank's course, particularly as a part of the Quanta program.
Frank is seriously the best teacher I have ever had! He is so funny and I have learned a lot from him. He's amazing; I want him to be my Daddy and sit on his lap have incredible conversations.
I have only been at Daytona state for two semesters and had Gunshanan for both. He was so great in my first semseter, I went out of my way to make sure I had him for ENC 1101 in spring term. Very witty, excellent teaching strategies, and delightful personal qualities. Makes you feel at home and relaxed. I will always choose gunshanan.
Frank is a fantastic teacher. He's enthusiastic and witty, with an ease for teaching that is rarely matched by others. Frank goes out of his way to be sure that his lessons are retained, making the process of doing so fun for all. Frank is simply the best, better than all the rest, and if you pay attention, you'll get an A in his class, no s(w)eat.
Mr. G is a fantastic teacher. He's hilarious and really gets into discussions with his students. He'll always answer your questions in detail and he acts as if he really wants you to pass. The only thing to worry about are the essays, he is very critical when it comes to writing. Also, he gives no tests! Lots of group work. Highly reccommend.
He is AMAZING! He interacts with the students and gives insight to what concepts the lessons or readings are about. His essays are fun and the journals are easy. Just READ the assignments! He is very understanding-if you need more time, LET HIM KNOW! He's not a psychic! Overall, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM! I have him again for next semester QUANTA!!!!!
Always there when you need help on anything, I would take his class again! He made English worth coming to class for! Have to have the books and need to make it to every class or you will get way too behind. Easy to understand and the work is not hard you just need to be there in the class room. So far the best professor I have had yet!
Honestly, Mr. Gunshanan was the best English teacher I've ever had to date. He is a nice, caring guy. He always accepted late work, and asked me why I didn't do my assignments, concerned that I wouldn't pass. He also asked about my personal life outside of school, and gave me feedback in life. Great teacher.
A previous professor at Stetson University, Frank is insightful, helpful, kind, caring, and an amazing teacher overall!!!!!!!!! He will help you with personal issues as well as academic ones! He is A REAL TEACHER, all professors should be like Francis.
BEST TEACHER EVER Frank is there for you in the long run. He cares about your education and personal life. He gives amazing, interesting lectures. I would talk to him for hours after class. Just read the material and do the work (which he accepts late) Do Quanta-it was the best experience I had at DSC. I still talk to him even after I finished
Group projects, major writing assignments every class period. NO TESTS. READ about 3 books on your own. Easy A. You must show up or won't pass. Critical thinking and open mindness. Long lectures and pop quizzes too. Very easy course though. He is there to help you out a lot!!!I would take again!!
I love love love Mr. Gunshanan, if I could take this class over again with him I would! Best English class and teacher I have ever had, he teaches you what you need to know and more. Worth it and the classes were ALWAYS interesting! You will NOT regret taking his class, so DO IT!
Professor Gunshanan is one of the best teachers I've ever had!!! He makes learning fun and has creative ways of teaching English that helped me to learn a lot! I definitely recommend him for ENC1101 AND ENC1102, if you can!
Professor Gunshanan was very nice. He was also a tough grader. We had 4 essays to do throughout the whole semester and those were pretty hard to get a great grade in.
Professor Gunshanan is great. Lectures are funny, and he gives excellent feedback on how to improve your writing. His grading is pretty tough, but you are able to revise papers at the end of the semester. Attendance is not required, but you will miss out on points from doing in-class essays and group projects.
Prof. Gunshanan is an AMAZING professor. He gives a few papers, but after it's graded, he gives you the chance to revise it for a better grade. He is very straightforward and is a fun teacher. I would take him again. I would recommend.
His lecture is very fun and interesting. He grades attendance so you will be required to be in class. Anyway, if you don't miss classes and assignments, you will get an A. He gave us his own hand-made textbook which was awesome. I was bad at writing first but he gave me great feedbacks and my writing got much better. You should definitely take him!
You will learn a lot from him. He's a sweet guy with a passion for English. GO TO CLASS!!! He makes a big deal about attendance and your grade will definitely show for it if you don't. He's a tough grader on essays and his lectures can be dry sometimes.
since English is a second language i thought the class would be difficult, but prof, explains and makes the writing fun. He Rocks!!!!
Mr. G is a great example of a what a professor should be. He is very caring about the people that show that they care about his class and it's easy to like his class because he makes it interesting. I used to hate english and had horrible teachers in the past but after taking his class he changed my view. If you have him as a prof, you're lucky!
Mr. G was such an amazing teacher! I loved being in his class. He truly cared for all of his students and would let you know he's there for you if you even need him. He is clear on what he wants in his assignments and is a fair grader. He allows corrections and will help you become a better writer by the end of the course. I could see a difference.
Really recommend professor Gunshanan
Mr. Gunshanan was a great teacher. It was a lot of work. Each class we had a story to read and usually study questions or short essays to write (3-5 pages). He was very helpful and gives good feedback. He is also pretty funny in class. I would take him again. He is very caring and brings snacks to class for students so nobody is there hungry.
He likes for you to participate in class so show up to receive 100pts. He has a book created full of stories you will have to read and write papers for. He's funny and caring.
He isn't the most caring understanding man but he is knowledgable. I loved the lucid dream book group project. Particapation and attendance matters greatly. I received a C but that's only because I missed some classes due to family matters. Lots of reading and class assignments.
I never had so much respect for such an professor who engages you and offers you the ability to do your best. My best was a B+ and well deserved. I think if you are willing to put forthe the effort, he will offer you an experience to help you in your endeavors.
Prof. G was able to go around the classroom and assist you when needed. Understandable when you have to miss class and is able reply to emails quickly. Very caring about his students and in what he teaches! Definitely recommend! Only four essays and in-class assignments that I had to do. Come to class and you'll be set!
Cool professor! Accepting of LQBTQ+ and is overall a great guy. Was dual enrolled in 2016 and was scared of college, but he was super cool! Seemed intimidating, but wasn't, to be honest. Good class. :)
He is the best professor and he cares about his students. Taking his class next semester. Having him as a freshman prepared me for the college life. Frank for president 2020
He is very good at getting people to engage because of the comfortable atmosphere he provides. He cares a lot about his students and is very understanding when you have to miss class or when you turn in an assignment late. He's hilarious and acts like a friend you can confide in. He is easily one of my favorite teachers I have ever had.
Professor Gunshanan is amazing! He really knows what he is talking about when it comes to English. He is very understanding. He is also ready to help. As long as you go to class every week, you will pass. He gives you all of the tools necessary too receive and A. Just follow his lead.
He is an amazing professor, sure has his own personality, which makes him a special professor. He puts effort into his class, so he expects students' effort too. His lecture is very interesting. He doesn't mean to make your life harder, but he sure appreciates hard-working students more. I so appreciate that I had him as my professor.
Mediocre at best, really. I had reached out to him a few times on different occasions with assignment questions. None of his responses ever gave me any assistance whatsoever. Once I received a "it's in the drop box" which it wasn't, hence why I had emailed in the first place. Easy to pass at least, but don't expect anything above and beyond.
This professor has his pros and cons. On one hand, you only have to write three big papers during the course. His assignments are engaging and not exactly hard work. Feedback is helpful. However, he can be nearly impossible to reach sometimes. It took me a week before he responded on something urgent. Nevertheless, he's solid. I'd recommend him.
Okay, honestly. After having Frank for two semesters in a row, he is an amazing professor. He genuinely cares about his students and wants them to exceed. He gives several opportunities to improve your grade and loves to hear his student's opinions on serious topics occurring in our current environment.
Professor Gunshanan was a good professor and he gave a lot of feedback on every assignment so you could learn how to improve. There are 3 papers and he gives chances at the end of the semester to revise and resubmit some assignments.
I enjoyed this class and the work.
Mr. Gunshanan is a fantastic teacher. He has his own expansion of what makes a good paper and uses his own list of criteria needed for a good paper, which is called Daily Vitamins, but once he explains them then it is easy to check do you meet those things.
If you're new to writing, I wouldn't recommend this class. There's little instruction—just assignments and tough feedback. I didn't grow as a writer at all. The professor seemed uninterested in teaching, which made the class feel like a waste of time. If he's no longer invested, he should consider retiring.
