Great teacher, mainly a writing course. Talks a lot about current events and can go on tangents. Very boring voice but an interesting teacher if you listen. Do the work and put passion in your writings and its an easy A or B.

Very good teacher, would take again.

Though he's not always the most exciting professor, he does do a good job at improving your writing, gives you a chance to write papers you care about, and improves your writing dramatically.

This was an interesting experience. He taught me how to be a better writer and how to be a good student. He was very proactive in identifying potential problems. Numerous papers, but everyone was returned at the next class with careful remarks written on them. I have never had this experience with any teacher before. He made me see my potential.

He prepared me for the Eng II class and I findit to be a somewhat easy course because of what he taught me. He takesa personal interest in his students. He knows how to teach and what to teach. Great teacher! Very good human being.

I regret I didn't take him for second semester as my room-mate did. My current class is a very easy "A" thanks to what he taught me. Many in the fall class remained with him, and when I see them they saythey are happy they are with him. My room-mate has learned a lot. He treats his students like adults.

I am in the ME Tech Program, and he is the best teacher I have had this semester. He is better than my science and engineering instructors. He helped me with a major personal problem that was related to one of our readings. He is the best English teacher I have ever had. Take him if you want to learn and to get better as a writer!

He is very good with English Second Language students. Makes them feel at ease and gives them much help. Gets their views on different questions and allows class to learn about different cultures. Gives some extra time to do assignments. No easy grades, but fair grades. He Likes his students and wants them get better. Best teacher I had this year

Dr. Bailey is the best teacher I had in freshman year. He knew how to motivate me. I came to look forward to the writing assignments and to his evaluation of them. I feel he read everything I wrote carefully and was consistent in his grading. He changed my view on writing. He puts out 100% and challenges his students to do the same. Great class!

Very interesting class. Much variety in course readings: plays, short stories, novel, and poems. Professor had very insightful things to say on the readings. Coming from an alcohol addicted family, I was helped by remarks on Long Day's Journey into Night. I no longer feel ashamed of my family situation. I could not wait to get to class on MWF. A+++

Very interesting course. It was well organized. The work load was reasonable. Instructor was understanding and knowledgeable. He tended to let us discover our own minds. Wish I could take him in another course. Strongly recommend him, especially to nervous students.

I enjoyed this class even though it began at 8 in the morning. I felt the class was being taught by someone who cared about us and was not trying to depress us. I improved as a writer and as a reader. I made new friends at my table in the class. The professor has a Ph.D. and this made him different from my ENGL100 Prof. He really knows what to do!

The most encouraging English teaher I have had. He saw us all as individuals and he spent asmuch time as we requested giving help and advice about writing and other issues as well. He is a quiet thinker who has a lot of wisdom at his finger tips. I improved as a writer and reader. He is flat out the best teacher I had in the spring sem. Fair grader

This was the best non-tech course I have taken at WIT. I failed the first time I took it. Prof. Bailey knew this and headed off problems I was about to face. His focus on me and the others in the class was constant. It was intense but not in a controlling way. He has high standards and he showed me how to meet them. I became a good writer.Take him

This course built my confidence as a writer and reader. It was so different from the tech courses I was taking. The Prof had control over the classroom and all of us worked like and behaved like adults. I learned that I could be a better writer and reader. By the end of the course I felt I had something substantial for both my money and effort. A++

This was a very interesting class that helped me to clear my head after all night sessions inthe design labs. The course work was reasonable and the grading was fair. Everything written was returned at the next class. The Prof. seemed to know something about almost everything. He certainly knew how to get the best out of us. Great teacher and class

This was a course with heavy writing and I took it because I failed it my first time through. This instructor was very organized and he helped me to match his organization. He actually knew who I was as a student and as a person. He was always encouraging. I became a better student because of his ability as a mentor. He cares about his students.

This is a basic course in writing and the instructor knows how to teach the subject and at the same time how to motivate and help students. He is very serious and demanding, but he is concerned for our success in the class as well as in the school, since this is our start as college students. I like this course. The prof. knows me and my name.

This was so different from my class in ENGL 100. The Professor was both organized and skilled. He has a way of getting the very best out of you. As the sem went along, I was amazed that he remembered everything I wrote. He took me seriously. Great Prof and great learning experience. Recommend highly, if you want to learn!

Very patient Professor who knows how to motivate and guide students. My suite mates hated their courses, but I loved going to this class. People worked and were respectful to one another. My writing got much better and I found new friends in the class. We bonded as a group because of the peer editing system the professor started. Excellent course.

I was afraid of doing writing assignments of any kind when I began this class. Now I feel that I can do any writing assignment in a quick and efficient way. The Professor taught us how to use sources and how not to lose our own voices while using them. We mastered the sources and the sources did not rule us. Excellent course with a great teacher.

I find my current writing assignments in my second year courses to be very managable. In fact, I look forward to writing any assignment given to me, since I have the confidence to produce superior essays, most often "A" Essays. I learned my skills from Dr. Bailey in English 100. He knew what and how to teach. He has high standards for himself/us!

I learned how to write source papers in this class and it has made a big difference in my performance in other classes. I have moved from being a "C" student to being a high "B" and low "A" student largely because of my performance on paper assignments. This course was a foundation course for me. The prof. is very inspiring. He knows how to teach!

This was a fast-paced and interesting course taught by a skilled and caring prof. He empowered me and the other students in the class by his knowledge and expertise. I became a far better writer. He is interested int he success of his students and he knows how to build confidence, I no longer fear complex writing assignments. I recommend this prof.

The entire course led up to the writing of a long source paper. The Prof. allowed an individual choice of topics. Each of us could write about something of personal interest. It was an easy assignment to do because there had been non-stop writing of assignments that led to this one during the course of the semester. The Prof and course were great.

This is the best course and the best teacher I had in my first semester as a college student. Very well organized and highly knowledgeable about his field, Prof. Bailey is the best teacher I have had since middle-school. He shows you how to do your best possible work and he makes the process of doing your best work both exciting and enjoyable. A+++

Until this class all my writing was personal experience based. I also did some creative writing (mostly short stories). This course was centered on using sources and it was a breath of fresh air for me. The professor was professional and very easy to work with. He is very gifted at getting people to do high quality work. All of us respected Dr. B.

This course was easily the best English course I have ever taken. I learned a great deal about writing and about being a good student. The Prof. connected with us and seemed to understand what we were going through as freshman students. His advice is responsible for me not dropping out. He is a gifted teacher who knows how to get the best out ofyou

Dr. Bailey is the best English teacher I've ever had. Great teacher who truly cares about his students. He is probably the fairest grader I've ever had, and he takes the time to write his thoughts about every paper you write and why you got the grade you received. Highly recommended. The guy is a class act.

This course has turned out to be the most interesting learning experience of Freshman year. The Professor has molded the class into a group of eager and co-operative learners. We actually socialize outside of class and talk about the papers and the readings. The Prof really knows how to teach and how to get the best work out of us. Fantastic class!

This is an amazing course. Although my major area is Architecturem I enjoy this class as much as I do my technical/major courses, I have become a much improved writer and reader. I have become friends with a great group of people. I appreciate the insights about Literature I have gained. The Prof. is an excellent and caring teacher. Take him!

I have had Dr. Bailey for a full year and I have found him to be the absolute best teacher I have met at WIT. He is dedicated and professional. He knows how to get the best out of his students.The readings have been the kinds of works that have helped me to better understand myself and my family. My writing has taken a quantum leap forward. A+++++

I have never had an English teacher pay such careful attention to my writing and to me as a student and as a human being. I was turned into a writer and expert reader and I came to understand much about myself. At the end I was given a book, as were all the students in the class. It was a nice gesture by a fantastic teacher I will always remember.

This guy is honestly one of the best teachers i've ever had. I never thought someone could make me interested in writing. He grades and comments on the papers are always honest, and he always has useful advice to give. Sometimes he'll waste class time with stories and life lessons, but I wouldn't call that a bad thing.

I have been at WIT for only a month, but Prof. Bailey is the only instructor who knows my name and some details about my life as a student. We have done a fair amount of writing to this point and the evaluations have always been fair and helpful. He is very organized and positive. He is slowly building up the confidence of the class. Great Prof.

Dr. Bailey makes you have an essay or journal assignment due each time you meet. But he is a really fair grader and understands you are developing your writing. He talks a lot about his experiences and then pulls them into the lesson of the day. He can get a bit boring at times. Make sure never to text in class. And attend class-goes toward grade.

Dr. bailey is just a fantastic teacher. I have been turned into an effective writer thanks to his guidance. I have written more in this class than I did in my last two years of college. He takes a personal interest in all of his students and is always encouraging. His examples to illustrate points about the writing are fascinating. He opens minds.

This one course is like a total college education. Students can write papers on a variety of topics, but no matter what the topic choice is, the instructor seems to know a great deal about it. He is very helpful and the enormous variety of his examples has greatly increased my knowledge base. This is a writing course without a SINGLE dull second.

I dreaded the idea of going to a 2 hour English class, but by the mid-point of the semester I found Dr. Bailey's class to be my favorite after my Calc class. I worked hard and steadily imoroved under the guidance of an expert teacher who truly cares about his students. My intellect expanded and I have become a confident student. Great teacher!!!

This isn't just English with Dr. Bailey, more like an education in every imaginable social science...politics, happiness, money etc. His discussion of various higher education topics helped me to better understand the objective of college. Can't recommend Dr. Bailey enough for serious students, but if you want a minimal English class, keep looking.

This is an amazing course taught by a Prof. with a great interest in his students and in his subject. We are studying 4 cultural movements and the entire process has been made both interesting and rewarding by the great knowledge and fantastic teaching skill of the instructor. I havegained so much by reading Thoreau and relating him to Romanticism.

Prof. has an almost unbelievable knowledge of art, history, music, and literature, but he is able to explain things simply. This course is like an entire college education. The unit on the Enlightenment was mind enhancing. I was educated about the Age of Reason, all aspects of it. Dr, Bailey taught us how to write on the period. I love this course!

Dr. Bailey is the most helpful and supportive teacher I have had in freshman year. If you arrive on time, attend class, do the readings, and submit work on time, you will find this to be a highly enjoyable experience. I struggled at first, but he showed me how to progress as a student writer. This is not a class for chronic cutters or complainers.

This is the second course in which I have had Dr. Bailey, and he is the most helpful English teacher I have ever studied with. He always has time to help you with assignments and his advice is practical. He knows how to get results for students who will work with him. I often see him helping and talking to students in the Quad or at the Beatty Caf.

There are 4 papers required in this course and the professor has been clear and helpful in explaining how to compose them. This was such a difference over what I experienced in my first semester class. Dr. Bailey is always positive and supportive. His knowledge on Modernism and the poets we read inspired me to rise to a higher level as a student.

This was an amazing course taught by an amazing professor! I learned more in this course than I learned in 4 years of high school. I learned about important movements in Western History and learned how to apply them to challenging texts. The instructor's sense of humor made the difficult kept a two hour class very short. The time always flew by.

Professor Bailey is the best English teacher that I have ever had. He is filled with knowledge about his subject to the point that he can explain difficult concepts in simple terms. ENGL130 is a course filled with hard ideas like Modernism and Postmodernism. He cares deeply about all his students and shows them deep respect at all times.Take him!

This is a course taught by a brilliant Professor who is predictable and steady. There are no surprises. The standard is high, but students are taught how to achieve it by a totally organized, reasonable, and caring teacher who was able to bring order even out of Postmodernism. His aside remarks were so helpful to me as a student and young person.

This course was my second one with Dr. Bailey. As a writer and a student, I feel that I have been totally changed by my experience with him. I have become a serious student with a sense of direction I did not have when I started at WIT. I am confident. I know that I have more ability than any of my H.S. teachers ever saw or expected.I was educated!

This is a great professor. He inspires me to do my best. He is clear and supportive. He shows what a college freshman has to do to survive. I was ready to quit after Week 1, but he gently talked me out of it. I have learned more in 7 weeks than I learned in Senior Year English!

His lectures consist mostly of stories with about a third of the class being about English. The only complaint I have is his penmanship but he can usually read it to you if you ask.

There is much writing and it is returned ALWAYS at the next class meeting with careful and thorough remarks. Everything is directed at getting the best out of the student. Numerous examples are given to illustrate writing principles. The examples and anecdotes are an education in themselves. This is a very hard working professor. A++++ ProfClass

I learned more about writing in this semester than I did in 4 years of high school. The course is well organized and the professor is very well prepared. I now have the confidence that I will be able to handle writing assignments in all of my courses. I used to be terrified to do papers. That is now past history. The instructor is calm and caring.

I began as an ordinary writer, but his careful attention to me and my work made me confident that I could do better as a writer. On some papers I did excellent work and I now consider myself to be a very good writer. This is now my default. No writing teacher has given my work this level of attention and respect. He did this for everyone in Sect18

English1 was very easy to pass if you just do the essays. Class is VERY boring, as we sit at a desk listening to him tell stories for an hour(NO PHONES) then read one of the 7 handouts he gives each class. Aside from how boring the class is, the work load is only six 3-page papers, to which he gives AMAZING feedback. Made me a MUCH better writer.

The man knows his English, and he has the potential to likely be one of the best English professor on campus. However, he is easily dragged off topic and regularly spends class time sharing life (sometimes very personal) stories. These can be beneficial, but at 8am, I just wanted to learn what i needed to learn and go back to sleep.

Hard working and competent teacher who cares for his students. He is NEVER off topic because he has an almost endless supply of information he can bring to a discussion of any topic. I never thought I would find an English Prof who would be interested in ME or Calculus. His stories illustrate important points and show how to write good papers.

Very well organized. Syllabus is followed so you always know what is required. Fair grader who seems very interested in the success of his student. He is my favorite freshman teacher so far. Has a very interesting and practical approach to writing and college life in general. He is a very interesting teacher.

Very interesting and skilled teacher. Uses a drafting approach so there are opportunities to redo bad efforts. He gave me the opportunity to do a paper that I failed. He listened to my explanations and showed me how to improve the paper. I have learned more from him than from any of my other instructors in my major field. He has given me confidence

Excellent teacher. Has helped me adjust to college. Directions are precise. I have become a far better writer because of the care he uses in explaining paper assignments and his careful evaluations. He always sees the good in my papers. He gives numerous handouts that serve as a text in the course. All of his illustrations relate to the assignments

He is slow and sometimes boring, but is very smart and has a very "no BS" way of teaching. Basically we had one writing assignment a week but they were all personal narrative or require a little research for. I did all my essays (six big ones) the night before or within only a few days. He listens to you if you go to him for help.

He requires 20 pages of writing which is what all profs are required to do. Peer reviews to head off bad papers. Clear models given for the papers. Very fair and helpful full evaluations. Class time flew by. Uses much small group exercises, videos, music. Does not lecture. Conversations are basis of course. Fantastic person. Learned a lot.

Awesome teacher. He showed me how to improve my writing. I went from a "C" to a high "B" because of his comments and peer review system. The readings expanded my mind and gave me a wider view of life than I had before I began the class. He is open and obviously wants his students to perform at their best level. If you want this, it is a great class

Fantastic Teacher. Lots of small group work as well as interesting conversations. I became friends with my discussion group. The classes bonded. Learned to be a better writer. It was always an interesting experience to go to class. He has a lot of wisdom that he shares in a casual way. Good teaching style for anyone who is willing to learn.

The absolute best English teacher I have ever had. Passionate about his subject and about having his students do well. Very practical approach to teaching. Clear expectations. Clear guidelines and models to follow. Real source of good advice about getting through WIT. Very patient and understanding. Fantastic sense of humor. Loved the class.

TAKE HIM!! This man made me a writer. He is the best teacher you can get on wentworth. Ignore what people say. If you listen to what he tells you you will get an easy A. Moreover his stories will help you broaden your horizons.

Professor Bailey is a difficult grader. However, if you take this class you will come out a MUCH better writer. He has strict standards and does not compromise on them. I would take this class again as it made me a much better writer.

Dr Bailey is one of the best English teachers you can wish for. Apart from making you a great writer he will give you feedback on lots of other topics. If you do what he tells you to do its an easy a.

Dr. Bailey has an exceptional English 1 class! His course will teach you how to write papers with precision. You MUST get on his good side by being respectful to his rules and showing him effort, respect, good participation. If you get on his good side by doing this, he will love you dearly, even help you with college life and be an easy A.
