You will learn a lot from this man's class. He is the male version of Jennifer Haber. Loves Tennessee Williams and strongly dislikes poetry. I strongly recommend this class for students who don't like english, but who are willing to learn to appreciate it

Bascially a good teacher, he is sometimes not very organized. If you write your papers long and boring, he likes that! Follow his suggestions on exactly how he wants the papers written and you will get a better grade.

I took him for Comp I and got an A w/o even trying, then in Comp II I had to actually try, but not too hard. I got A's on all my papers in Comp I and A's and B's in Comp II. He is usually late to class and will take your papers all the way to the end and still give full credit. VERY Easy class.

Dr. Mitsis does an excellent job when it comes to teaching Composition I. I'm not a strong writer so the fact that goes above and beyond in terms of teaching is a plus. The class itself isn't too difficult if you put your mind to it and don't give up. He's witty and makes you enjoy being there even when you don't want to be there.

Good instructor.Taught me how to write a paper without intimidating me.Very clear and nice.I like his class and I don't like writing.

I found this class slow to start, but as time went on and we began discussing things this class was stimulating and fun. I found Dr. Mitsis a plethora of information just waiting to share it with anyone who wanted to know.

AWESOME CLASS!

Nice man that could someday become a great professor if he takes advantage of the opportunity to encourage and assist students in excelling in this first phase of college writing.

He is a great professor that will make you earn your grade. Work hard on your papers, don't leave them til the last minute and you will be fine. Great personality, and he's funny as hell. Participate in class, he wants to know you understand what is going on.His tests are cake, just study what he tells you too and you will be fine.

I love how everyone wants to come down on him because he teaches a gordon rule class. C'mon people, he is a great instructor, and he at least makes the required word count crap interesting and fun to do. I hate writing, but he made me enjoy it. I would definitely take him again if I had the opportunity to. Take him if you can. Participate in class!

I liked him. He was tough in the beginning but, was easy in the end when I had other projects due. I would take him again. Just go in prepared and do the work he asks. No big deal!

learned alot. took a while to get use to him, but then I enjoyed everything, except for The Cask of Amantanado, ughhhh.

good professor overall

He is an ok guy and an ok professor. The work is quite easy and the class is pretty uneventful. He covers his material well and is understanding to student needs.

He is an extrememly easy teacher but you really don't learn much. He has you write response papers in groups based on the readings and movies that you watch. You have one response paper that you have to do yourself and unless you get MLA format absolutely perfect you will get a bad grade! Other than that the group work and response papers are ea

Took him for both comp 1 and comp 2, his comp 2 class is a joke. All we did was watch movies the entire semester, but hey i can't complain about that. His class has the work load of a 5th grade special ed class. Very Very Easy, bring some popcorn and enjoy the show. Comp 2 with Mitsis is an easy A, his comp 1 class was still easy but no movies.

you would have to be the worlds laziest, stupidest, and slowest person to not exceed in this class. Mitsis is funny, available for questioning, and really we don't have much work at all. Group work often, computer lab excercises, and grammar stuff for the rest of the semester. EASY A

dont forget to read the stories before class and you'll get an A. the only reason i got a b was because one idiot in my group wrote one of the response papers too short (which is hard to do since only 2 double spaced pages is required) so the whole group got the F on that paper that he wrote.

I found him pleasant and easy to talk to. He is a little on the strange side but that only gives him character. Sometimes the students are worse than the teacher, he tries to makes jokes to ease the class but there may be lots of people that have terrible dispositions. I will be taking him again in the fall.

Dr. Mitsis is an awesome Prof. So far we have watched three movies in class and have gotten to read some interesting stories. There is a lot of group work so as long as everyone does the work and shows up for class you will do really well. He is really helpful, and if you have a question for him he will glady answer it either during or after class.

The hardest thing about the class isn't his teaching, but rather getting to groups to work. He is a bit odd, but he is easy to approach if you have any questions. He obviously loves what he teaches. He may not always know your name, but if you answer questions and participate in class he will get to know who you are.

as long as you show up to class and do all your work, you wont have a problem. you always work in groups. Its not a hard course, but for the essays i suggest going to the information commons to get them checked before you turn them in. he is a bit weird, and i hated asking him questions. best thing to do is stay out of his way and do your work.

He's very nice and understanding, when you couldn't turn something in or was not in class and you had a legitamite reason he will understand and give you chances. Mainly group work in the begining and three essays last 1 is to pick an essay you did and put in MLA format so very easy. Just wished he would've taught how to do things. Final easy test.

He was an excellent teacher. As long as you do what you're told you will be fine in this class. I would highly recommend taking this teacher. I plan on taking him for ENC 1102. The people who said he wasn't a good teacher are completely off and probably failed his class, because of their failure to complete class assignments.

Mitsis is awesome! You do need to do the work AND be able to make sense in essays. The only people who didn't do well were morons that couldn't put 2 sentences together.

Probably the easiest class I have taken in college & I am about to graduate. As long as you read the stories & participate in class sometimes there is no reason you shouldn't get an A. Attendance is important to him so he takes roll at the end of the class. 1 speech & 1 research paper. Didn't like the group work b/c my team was full of slackers.

really simple wants stuff done his way, read the story and do his critical thinking paper every class for 18 weeks and its over. no text book which was awesome

I don't know why people are complaining. Mitsis is an easy professor, take him if you want to get an A. So what if he doesn't teach much. Just think of this class as a gpa boost. I would highly recommend him if you do not want to have long nights of writing papers. There is only one major essay and its really easy.

You will be stuck writing and writing and writing and writing but most f the time you don't need to be there and as long as you do the essays you can pass the class.

Very easy course and lenient professor, however I didn't learn anything useful. There were a few essays and 18 response papers that were graded and a huge portion of your grade relies on the group response papers. Sometimes I didn't feel the motivation to actually show up to class. Take it if you want a free "A".

Great teacher. Some may say not easy and others may say they were not motivated to read his assignments. Well, hate to say this but get motivated. It's college, your future. The work isn't easy, but it is most definitely not hard, I can guarantee you that. Do the work and you'll do great :)

He gives a lot of readings, but you can skim over them really quickly or have them in front of you while you take the quizzes. DO NOT BUY ANY OF THE BOOKS. You can find them all online for free with a quick google search.

It is 100% online work. You get to class and sit at a computer. Mainly individual work like reading passages or watching plays and then taking online quizzes on them. SUPER EASY "A". You do not need the book since it is all online and easy to find. Few group projects that are easy. Lets anyone leave class early.

Took his class online currently very work heavy, but not hard. I feel he doesn't throughly read your work and gives you the broad comments to other students as feed back. Generally a very easy class to understand. You don't need the text book because he provides all the short stories and plays on his online class, so that will save you $100

I actually really enjoyed this class this summer. The only reason I would classify as a lot of reading and a lot of papers is because it is a short summer class so he has to cram- but I believe it's pretty reasonable. The essays are only two pages double-spaced so if you can't do that then I don't know what to say. Just DO THE WORK and get an A.

I took Professor Mitsis for an online Greek Mythology course - super creative curriculum. He makes learning very fun.

Dr. Mitsis was great! I had him for Comp 2 in class. In the middle of the semester, all classes had to switch to online due to the coronavirus. With the way he set up the course, it was a smooth transition. If you're taking him in class, work and get ahead. There are lots of discussion posts with a clear rubric. It's hard to get it done in class.

Professor Mitsis was easily accessable throughout the semester, and a fair grader. I have taken many online courses before, but this had the easiest access and layout. I had no trouble finding things and did not have to endlessly search for them. Although the course has a lot of work, it is spaced out and not overwhelming!

It is not exactly "an easy A", but his rubric is as clear as day. His class is based on points - not percentages- do the assignments on time (quizzes, discussion posts, essays) and you will be golden. Replies within 2-3 days. Provides additional resources to your benefit. Would definitely take him again. He also provides the textbook so don' buy it

This is a composition class and therefore is heavy on writing and reading. However, Professor Mitsis gives very clear instructions, and provided all the reading assignments so that a textbook was not needed. The gadeing criteria was very clear and concise. If you do the work as instructed there is no way to fail.

I had Dr. Mitsis for Comp. 2, and his quizzes, discussions and essays were easy. He's not a tough grader. His rubrics were straightforward. He was passionate about most of the literary works covered in class and enjoyed having discussions about them. In saying that, only about a third of the class participated. If you participate you'll be fine.

Professor Mitsis is a very caring and fun professor. In my opinion his class was very easy. Every week I had a discussion post and a quiz from either a short story or play. His live onlines are really great, he makes it feel like you are in a classroom instead of online. He is a very fair grader. I loved professor Mitsis!!

I personally enjoyed the class, as it provided films and short stories that were interesting. The rubric was clear, and understandable; if followed you will do good. A-lot of discussion boards and quizzes, some questions a bit tricky. The class was overall good, and enjoyable.

Mitsis is a great professor and I would highly recommend you take him if you get the chance! It was a typical online class with a discussion post and quiz due every week, but everything is super easy as long as you take a few minutes to read the lessons!

Easy going

This class was great! I was nervous and expecting lots of essays and heavy assignments but that wasn't the case. Assignments are due on Mondays which helps A LOT and were fun and interesting. The only big thing is the last few big assignements, Got a B and didn't do about 4+ assignments for the class due to being a sahm and juggling classes.

Prof Mitsis is so sweet and the opposite of a tough grader. Just do your assignments on time. Attendence is not mandatory at all

So far the professor seems good online, get ready to have alot of reading involved and assignments are due ahead of time but you can't send late work, there was an average of 4 assignments due in a day but you should be fine if you do everything ahead of time, alot of reading but overall okay.
