He is a real good Professor. He really teaches his students well on how to write essays. To pass the class, all you have to do is write a good in-class essay and do the re-write.

He likes us to do group discussion during class( I think it doesn't help) bcoz of da below comments so I take this Dr. but I think I did it wrong, I shouldn't take him.

Funny and interesting. The entire premise for 101 is movie reviesw, movie posters, etc. Cool subject ...yes! However, not as effective for teaching a beginning English course. Students who don't have a decent understanding of English may be lost. He doesn't teach much either. Gives handouts that he rushes through. Cool guy nonetheless!

Prof. Klock is a character. His way of teaching can be a shock at first because of how enthusiastic he is (which is rare to find in English professors). He doesn't give you ANY homework throughout the semester, you just have to write two 5-page papers that you can revise until you get the grade you want. It can't get any easier than that.

I have a reviewing policy where I do not give a professor 5 stars the first time I take a class by them, no matter how good it was. The class could've been better (more suited to my exact preferences). Maybe next time!

He is a amazing prof. He teaches philosophy in the class, but no HW, quiz at all. 4 essays in total (include final). You can write any topics. He cares about what are you interested in. He is tough grade at the1st time, but you can revise until grade that we wanted and he gave us clear feedback, so it was so help me a lot! I enjoyed this class!

Love him, he's the BEST! Helped me finally appreciate things I found boring like Shakespeare, philosophy, etc. Has a running joke that some students minor in Klock, as many take all of his classes - guilty, as I took 250, 373 & 321. Be warned, don't mistake his affability for low standards - these are writing courses to take if it's YOUR passion!

This was by far the easiest class and lowest-maintenance professor I have ever encountered. Klock was understanding, entertaining, and a fair professor. He had only given four assignments for the semester that were permitted to be resubmitted endlessly until you liked your grade. He gave helpful and clear feedback, and there was no final.

Best Professor I've encountered so far. Truly, deeply cares about his job, and it shows in everything that he does, from the works that we read to the movies that we watch. Geoff Klock is a godsend.
