Don't bother. Just don't.

What kind of an English teacher tells a class not to worry about how to use a semi-colon, because it's too confusing and no one uses them? Stay away from this guy. Take J. Ramm, 100% better.

This teacher was one of my favorite. Easy A in his class every quiz that we were suppose to have we ended up not taking it. I didn't have much homework with him and he was very helpful in answer any questions you needed answer what a wonderful teacher
The book he uses is very overwhelming if you don't know technology. He has weekly writings and a research paper at the end. He uses word count as a way to make sure the paper is long enough and WILL count you off if he thinks you're under. Not good.
He is a excellent teacher. I would recommend him to anyone. He is also very funny. If I came to class and was upset about something, he would always tell a joke or something to the class and I was cheered up. He teaches you alot. Take him.
He was so awesome! Not only was he funny, but also very nice and helpful. Our entire class enjoyed him and he was very down to earth!
He was a little off the wall. But otherwise I thought that he was a very good teacher. Very helpful!
Late almost every class. Of course, if half of my students were functionally illiterate, I'd be late too.
He has a very interesting background; not a shallow teacher at all. The things he has to say about a lot of things are very interesting, even when they don't really pertain to class. He's very laid-back, and I remember having a lot of fun in his class.
Easy teacher for an english class. All you had to do were 1 short weekly papers and a research paper spread out throughout the semester. Class is always let out early.
no clue where he is, what he is doing or what the assignment is. this is a theme based class and if you are not into the whole nerdy cyberspace**** then do not, i repeat do not take this class.
Easy teacher. Very unorganized and looses papers a lot, but a cool guy. He is very nerdy and into the whole cyberspace thing but he's a very interesting guy. Also he says Ladies and Gentlemen like 10 times a minute. No really we counted.
His class is awful and his teaching style sucks. He spent a full hour of our class time each day talking about how much he hates the president, as opposed to actually teaching us how to write. Whatever you do, try and find another teacher for your ENG cour
Not very good if you don't already have a pretty strong background in english. His pet peeve is bad grammer, punctuation, and spelling. Talks a lot about current events. All the papers are cyberspace based, but they are short. Nice guy. I had a good time. I would recommend him.
Ladies and Gentleman, This guy is one of a kind! You really couldn't ask for a better teacher. Everyday is interesting and you usually leave a half hour early with a smile on your face! I recommend this teacher to everyone.
He is one of my favorite teachers he keeps everything fun and i look forward to going to school in the morning to have his class. plus i dont have time to watch the news and in the morning we always get caught up on the news for the first ten minutes of class i highly recommend this teacher!
Yurgens is just a freak! He is totally mental and babbles on and on about nothing worth paying any attention too, but makes you listen to him. He gives no real suggestions or help what so ever. So unless you are totally self motivated and love teaching yourself, do not (I repeat) DO NOT take any classes from him!!!!
At first i really enjoyed his class. But by the end he gets really annoying. He always has to talk about the news and things that really do not matter. If you want an easy A take this guy.
Franks class was great. He made me want to attend class. I really learned alot from his class this semester. He enjoys teaching and does a good job at it. He wasn't a boring teacher that makes you sit and listen to him lecture all morning. He likes to interact with his students and work together so everybody understands. Highly recommended. :)
You the Man Frank, Made English interesting
Mr.Yurgen class is very interesting he makes it fun and very easy to pass. Not any tests or quizzez but about two throuhout the entire semester. If don't take him for English your crazy
This guy is a bit left of center, but at least he is interesting. He voices his radical opinions quite a bit, but he also welcomes yours. I don't think I have learned much, but it is a fairly interesting class and it is realitivly easy.
Very good teacher. Goes off topic a lot. Not a lot of homework. Does not correct homework just glance through it. You do journal entry along with your homework. No test or exams. Very interesting teacher. Highy recommend him for ENG 111 for an easy A.
Frank is a great teacher, most definately take him if you can! He is not boring like some english professors and the work isnt outrageous or anything, and you get out early almost ALWAYS! take him!
He's not the best, shares his off the wall political views for most of the class
This teacher was a breeze. He graded very fairly and if anything too easy. He was awsome and class discussions were fun. Just hand in the homework and its an easy A. Nice guy too.
I though that Professor Yurgens was a horrible teacher. Although the class was easy and there wasn't a lot of homework, he seemed very sloppy and un-organized.
great
yurgens was one of my best teachers, i always enjoyed attenting class, he made english fun and interesting. it was also amusing listening to his opinions on politics.
The GUY IS INSANE! He gets randomly mad and yells at the class and then comes in the next week and pretended nothing happened. One of the most uncomfortable professors I have ever had. Stay away.
AMAZING! I took ENG 112 as an online summer course and while Cyber Space is not the most interesting topic Professor Yurgens was amazing!
He is a great teacher.I recommend to everyone.My sister likes the class to. It ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
This professor is very boring. We meet twice a week and i could show up once a month a get a A. Very poitical in the class, if i wanted to learn about gov crap i would take political science STAY AWAY
At first he can seem a bit "out there". But all in all he is very good. He does spend a lot of time talking about random thing such as politics and the youtube. As for giving work he is very easy. The tests are easy too. He is so funny. I love how he relates things to what we are studying. An easy A if you do the journals and do well on tests.
If you want to learn about english then please do not take this teacher!!! He doesn't really talk about english he talks about things that does not have to do with english!!! So if you are looking to learn english please take another teacher who will actually teach english!!!
The very best teacher, wish he taught all english class's. Take this teacher for 111.
This teacher is the bomb. Frank gives you all the homework right off the bat, and it is up to you to get it done before the class is over. He offers extra credit as well. Honestly, TAKE THIS CLASS!!!
Took the Inet class. I don't don well in Eng usually but I passed with an A-. He doesn't pay attention to the date you turn things in. Honestly don't think he really reads things. Super easy!!
this class makes me want to scream! i cant deal with his liberal ways. I dont care that hes liberal, i just dont want him to be talking about it when we should be doing work. he procrastinates and sometimes asks us how to spell words... i mean really??!?! his major is in spanish not english---thats what he told us which is frankly embarassing!
Mr. Yurgens is very nice. Hardly uses the book. Homework is easy and doesn't really matter when you turn it in. He's an interesting man and some people wouldn't like his opinions. If your not open to other peoples opinions..don't take this class. For the people who are telling you to STAY AWAY,don't listen to them. He's very easy going!
Just politics and his pov. Neglects the subject of the course and you're on your own writing your discussions and your final paper. If you're lucky you'll get some graded work back before the last class.
Do not take his class if you actually want to learn anything about English. Also, don't expect to get your papers back until the end of the semester (if ever).
Took him for INET class. I thought it was easy. He checks for length and MLA citations and that seemed to be about it. Don't buy the book though I didn't use it once, you can find all info you need online about MLA style.
took class online. never heard from him since first day of class. all essay workl... regarding cyberspace... borring. Will never take again.
Very interesting teacher. Nice, funny guy. Easy class. Got out early. Journals every week and essays every 3 weeks. Little to no book work.
Frank is a great teacher if you can deal with his political rants. Those who are more open minded will enjoy his company. Very easy going, and gives help if you need it. I will take his courses in the future if offered.
Just wanted to add that he gave me a C because he lost half of my homework. I am not the only one this happened to either. -_- And we did not use our books once.
Very funny man and great class. Super easy if you write, and almost no homework besides a few writing paragraphs here and there. Used the textbook once, and wasn't too helpful because there wasn't much to do besides write. Loves to rant, but makes class go by fast and did I mention it was very fun?!
Worse teacher ever. lose your homework, miss your grade and never respond your email. Essay topics are all about his fancy world, cyberspace, cloud computing. class is useless, you will never get your homework back. I will never take his class again.
Listen up Frank is a great teacher. Laugh at his jokes and write a decent paper you get an A. Weekly journals but he is a cool teacher. CRAZY! but super cool. dont buy his text book!! If he likes your whole class then he will be easy and let you out early.
Mr. Yurgens keeps you interested while explaining everything very well.
Great guy, intimidating at first but very easy going. If you don't understand, ask. A little unorganized but papers are easy to write. Wouldn't suggest not socializing with him, hes a talker. Enjoyed the class discussions. Every week is routine. Again, fun, outspoken guy. Not to be taken too seriously. c:
I took this class online! and he never posted grades in a timely manner...you will get them back at the end of the semester... some of the assignments were NOT clear at all! He wouldnt return emails. I dont recommend this teacher to anyone!
He definitely keeps your attention. He isn't always on topic, but he always has something to say and he brings up very interesting topics of discussion. We wrote quite a few papers but they weren't hard if you read the material and it was easy to get a good grade.
This class is all about research papers and this guy does not help you with them at all! all he cares about is his political stance on everything and cyberspace the whole time. I did not learn anything on how to make a research paper, he just assumes that you already know
Frank is one of the best professors I have taken at Delta. I took both ENG 111 and 112 with him, and I am glad I did. There are interesting discussions, he will teach you proper grammar, and you can choose what to do your research paper on. I suggest you take Yurgens for English classes.
This guys is great! If you have questions, ask! He will never make you feel stupid for doing so. Keep asking till you understand, that is what he wants. It was easily understood what was needed of you, and the work was not difficult, but not boring either. I would definitely try to get him again for additional English classes. Very down-to-earth.
He is GREAT!! very easy class just write 4 papers. Take him especially for someone who just needs to retake this class for a better grade.
Way to unorganized and i wanted to learn English not 15 weeks of cyber space. Great guy but....
be prepared to write papers week after week on cyberspace do not recommend to anyone
Do not take Yurgens for ENG 112 unless you want to write papers every single week on cyberspace. I just wanted a basic ENG 112 class, and hated this class. At least 1 (or more) papers due every week. Never answers emails. Class time is useless. Nice guy but terrible class.
Frank is a really nice guy but I do not recommend his class. We wrote 1-2 papers every single week. He doesn't give very much help on grading your papers. The book was expensive and we looked at one page the whole class. I would not recommend Mr. Yurgens. Sorry Mr. Yurgens :(
He listens to the best jams.
Great guy & funny. When he covers a topic he does think we already know it, but if you have questions he's more than happy to explain further. There was 4 main papers in his class as well as some short in-class writings but that is kind of the point of an English class, so I wasn't too shocked. Only complaint is he takes forever to grade the papers
Yurgens is a great. You will do weekly in-class writings but there really is no length requirement, it's just write about this topic for an hour or so, super easy. Then you just have the four main assignments. If you show up and do your work you should pass easily. This Prof. is laid back and funny, just don't take advantage of him & you'll do fine
I took the ENG 111 condensed online course with Yurgens. At first I had some issues understanding assignments, but emailed him and he extended the due dates. There was only three papers, three peer responses, and launchpad. All papers were 4 pages. A very easy class to get a A in if you follow requirements. He is also very nice and understanding.
He's kind of unorganized, but he is by far one of my favorite teachers. He is really funny, and doesn't make the class difficult. The work load wasn't to bad, and if you did it you would be fine. If you actually want to learn a lot about writing then he probably isn't for you, but if you just want to have a fun English class then he's the one.
Frank is a funny guy who loves Bowie! He likes to jam to music in class while you write your in-class assignments or just sit and talk. He has a tendency to go off topic during his very few lectures. Class was enjoyable, filled with debates and chats about random and modern topics. Also got Pizza! Make sure to go over grades after receiving them.
He's a very funny professor, but is not very organized. He doesn't assign much, but when he does the assignments are sometimes unclear. I enjoy his class, but wish he was more serious so that the students, including myself, took things a little more seriously.
As a writer, I was very disappointed with Yurgens. Not only did he not grade our assignments in a timely manner, he did not teach a single thing all semester. I was not challenged in the slightest. There are four papers in the course of 15 wks and a few busy work assignments in between. Your time in class is dedicated to busy work or writing.
Listen to the reviews. Loads of work. Irrelevant class time. "Cyber space." Talked about Trump too much.
He's a nice guy, and very funny, but I would not recommend taking his class. (Especially if you don't have wifi or a laptop) because a bunch of his work has to be turned in electronically. He doesn't grade his work right away. He doesn't really explain any of his launchpad assignments. Just assigns them and says there you go due next week.
An easy and laid back classroom setting. He does care about how you do, but it's mostly on your own. He reviews papers with you before you turn them in which really helps. However, he does get off course and starts talking about random things. He is a very cultured man and enjoys his job.
Dislike this professor!!! He can't keep politics out of anything. He doesn't have a clear grading system at all, it changes depending on the day. Would not recommend taking Frank. The only good thing about him was that he didn't require you to get a book.
He is a very laid back guy. He sits down with each student and individually talks with them about their drafts, which is nice to get one on one feedback. If you show up to class and do all of the papers , I guarantee you that you will get an A. Easiest grading professor I have had. He likes to talk a little politics, if that upsets you.
I love this guy! Absolutely no tests and the due dates were spread out all the time lol.
Amazing!!!!!!!
Very nice and funny guy, but I would not take this class again. You sit around and do nothing, but if you leave early he is upset.
He assigns a lot of papers and activities throughout the semester. However, basically if you turn them in, youll do fine. He spends most days talking about politics so if you dont like that, Id stay away. The rest of the time he spends talking about cyberspace. He assigns what seems like a lot of filler work but its not difficult.
Frank is a so easy. You won't have a problem with him. I did the work, and got an A. Left class early every time and wasn't a big deal. There are NO Quizes, Tests, or Exams!! Just papers. You had a week or 2 for each one. If you want to learn English then this isn't for you. However, if you want an easy A and not have much homework then he's good.
Very nice guy and caring. Easy work and not much homework.
He is offensive to some people. If you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen.
Great guy! Would 100% take again
I really enjoyed taking this class. i was able to complete all assignments and work around my busy work schedule.
he was always very rude when it came to questions. He would assign papers without a specific outline. Classes were very boring and he was very corny with his jokes. Will never take again!!!
He does not respond to emails. No outline. No direct instruction. He does not grade anything in a timely manner.
This class was very simple for the most part because you were only writing papers, one thing about this teacher is he specifically does not answer emails if you need help or have questions which I thought was ridiculous. He also does not grade anything in a timely manner, class was very boring and quiet and no outline for assignments..
He was aweful and boring and graded aweful, never got anything done
Terrible grader but funny guy. All you do is write papers, so better hope you know how to whip up a good one. Doesn't really teach anything. Didn't grade anything until the day grades were due. Dry sense of humor but an enjoyable guy to be around at 8am
Thinks he is so funny and always rambles on. Swears every 3 seconds because he thinks it is funny. He also does not grade anything until the last day which is frustrating because you don't know how you are doing in this class.
Professor Yurgens is very laid back and likes to have conversations. Find peers that give constructive feedback instead of just saying 'it's good'. I suggest modeling your papers accordingly in this class and understanding that you are both writing to improve and to get a decent grade. Feedback was great and I suggest using the grammar handbook.
Professor Yurgens has a relaxed teaching style, but providing constructive feedback is key. I found the grammar handbook and Unstuck ai super helpful for prepping assignments. Overall, an easy class if you stay on top of the papers.
he cool fr
