He is great teacher. I am so lucky to have him as my Eng professor. I have learn a lot!
Extremely interesting lectures. I really enjoyed his style of teaching. He got the class involved in discussion but still maintained control and wove those points into his lectures. I was prepared to memorize dates and titles (American Lit.) but he made it so much more.
Professor Christensen is a very good teacher. Enjoyed the class. Fantastic class, excellent professor preparation. He teaches with stories, diagrams, and pictures that teach, explain and keep you interested. You walk out of class having learned a lot and having enjoyed the experience
I THINK THAT HE IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE A TEACHER.
Christensen is a very good professor. His lectures are very organized and he gives a good blend of theory and examples. Furthermore, he is also great in office hours. I would recommend this professor.
Don't event think...
Basically, any class with this professor is good. His lectures are intense and focused. This class is a very interesting introductory course.
The professor is very good and won?t pick on the students. .Highly recommended!
sorry, I mean COMMENTS
I would highly recommend this professor.
He hands out lots of homework and attendance is important. Lots of quizes.
I really enjoyed his style of teaching.
Do not miss class ! you will fail. he lets you rewrite essays but you will most likely have to rewrite all of them.
He is not too difficult you just have to do all the work and you should be fine. Attendance is a must because their is a lot of work, but overall it's pretty easy.
Mr. Christensen is very understandable. Very nice person to get to know. ... Great professor highly recommended for other students. ...
Christensen is a little tough at grading, but still fair. ... interesting. The professor?s class structure made it easy to transition. Very good style of teaching. I am definately learned something in this class.
Christensen has a very unique ability to make a really hard concept completely understandable. Great teacher.
"I THINK THAT HE IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE A TEACHER." that's right!!!
Professor Christensen is very attentive to his students' needs. He is always willing to clarify and elaborate on any issues that are brought up by his students. Well prepared and knowledgeable. Makes the material interesting in his presentation.
Don't take his class!!!!!!
This is a GREAT class! professor Christensen goes out of his way to make the class ... I wish there were more professors like Greg Christensen..
Mr. Christensen is very good professor. Specially his blog is a very good resource and very helpful.
He is a great teacher, be prepared to discuss in class. He is very organized and his web page is awesome. Take this class if you enjoy reading.
For me and for the most students Mr. Christensen's lectures for the course are very useful, specially his website saves you alot of time.
I like the energy the Mr. Christensen has. I also like the in class demonstrations
Many students find Prof.Christensen's class challenging. I will take his class next semester..
He is an excellent professor. He is very clear about what he is expecting from his students. has a lenient lesson plan and does not assign an unmanageable amount of work. His work load is reasonable: a week to read, 2 weeks to write an essay, and until saturday 12AM to turn in grammar. He also offers paper rewrites. I recommend to take him!
If you are a good writer already, Christensen is cake. If you are not a good writer, you might struggle. Lots of writing, not much reading. 5 essays (4 pages each), midterm and final essay exams, some easy grammar exercise homework. Lenient rewrite policy: turn in on original deadline and take until end of the semester to rewrite if you choose.
Greg is a great teacher cause he really wants you to excel! He helps you see what you need work on and helps you work to get better in your weak points! Greg is very clear about what his requirements are and very clear when he teaches you! He is a great teacher!
interesting class... alot of work. it seems as though professor Christensen does care about his students. he is a great teacher.
Greg is awesome. He really loves what he does and it shows. I think more teachers should be like him. He makes you feel like you can do anything. Greg always has something good to say.
I think prof christensen is a good teacher, hes especially good for 110 because he actually teach you how to read, and if you follow his instructions, you will get a good grade even if you are not as good in english<-- which is me!
I think he is a hard professor. He like the student who come to class and turn in the your work on time, cant be late work. The grading system is very hard too. If you are not a super good writer, dont go. What i can recommend you is dont take his class unless you want nc or w on your grade.
He is a great teacher! If you know how to write (and even if you aren't the best writer) his class will be a piece of cake. If you are struggling, he really takes time to help you. Take his class!
You want to write and read, take his class! He is very good and knows what he is teaching!
This is professor cares about his students. He provides tools to ensure his students' success in the class. The reading material is rich and diverse. I came away all the better for it after taking his class. Hands down the best English professor in Skyline College or any other, for that matter. I highly recommend him!

Christensen is so organized. He is specific of what he wants in your essays and focuses for on your goals as a learner. He will give EVERY material that you will need to pass this class. He has a website that can help you and he is thoughtful to his students. You should def take this class, I haven't l liked an English class until I took his class.
He's very helpful, if u need something you can ask him for help.
Whoa I dont know what these people are talking about. I thought his class was awsome. You know what if you really want to learn something, take his class. He graded fairly and when I asked for help he was always willing.
Christensen is a great man. He is very helpful when writing papers and he is easy to get along with. He really wants his students to do well, and he likes to get to know his students. Great Class, Great Teacher.
Mr. Christensen is such a great professor. He is very understanding and very accessible outside of class. If you email him, he'll get right back to you. You learn how to write very well in his class. Make sure to go to class and read your homework. He is really funny and everything you do in class has a purpose.
I had Prof. Christensen during my first semester here. He is a terrific professor and really got me off to a great start. I enjoyed talking to him and he was very fair in his grading. He clearly loves to teach and I highly recommend him. He'll always be one of my favorite profe
Definitely he is not for lazy and spoiled students!
He is a very good professor. He cares about his students. This isn't a easy class, you cant slack off. He is anal when it comes to writing flawless paers. But overall, very good professor. Lots of extra credit is also offered.
Awesome teacher. LOVES to talk, however really appreciates student input. A lot of class discussions on the reading material (but not too much reading), be sure to participate. There are an unlimited amount of rewrites on essays and he offers extra credit (workshops). A great class, teacher really cares about all students and his class overall.
Awesome Eng teacher who is willing to help you correct your grammar problems &etc. Textbooks usage is HIGH so u better get all your books.do as much Extra credit as possible they can earn u an A for hw points. email [email protected] if u are interested in purchasing his books! thanks!
I have honestly never seen a professor that cares so much about his students. His papers are challenging, reading is required, lots of quizes and so much extra credit!!! If you want an easy A then this class isn't for you.
He is the best. I am getting like English because of him.
Pretty helpful, not that clear, but worse of all, he does not return your work so you will not know how are you doing. I would not recommend him
took the course over summer entirely online. Had to write 4 page essays at the end of the week and participate in class forums to answer questions. Final was a 6 page research essay. Sounds scary but it wasn't that bad. Don't procrastinate because it is VERY easy to fall behind. He offers unlimited rewrites on essays for a better grade. Take him!!
I took his course over summer entirely online. Professor was great. Explained everything so clear. I can't ask any better professor.
Not an easy A. You really need to put work into your grade to get A. He offers extra credit. He has about 5 or 6 essays a semester then either a two short essays or one long essay for the midterm and final. If you ask for help, he'll try to help you. He's not gonna give you the answers but he'll try to get you to understand.
Very Helpful. Gives clear instructions. But you need to put a lot of hard work into essays.
GAAAAAH the things he writes in rewrites are so confusing. DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER HE WILL FAIL YOU.
Dude, turn off your phone and re-read his comments. It is always crystal clear. You need to put a lot of hard work into your essays.
This has been by far the hardest English professor I have ever taken. He expects SO much from you. You have to do good on your essays, read the readings he assigns, and come to class. We started off from a huge class in the beginning, but ended up with only 12 people. The class is really hard so you must do your best and not slack off!
Hard to get an A in his online English class. He will scare you into thinking you will have a harsh workload, which is why alot of people will drop, but the CLASSWORK is MINIMAL and meeting the requirements is EASILY DONE. Also, he definitely knows his stuff and he gives good advice, However, the essays are the killers so FOCUS ON THE ESSAYS!!!!
This class was the HARDEST English class I have ever took and I passed with an A... I'm so proud of myself. You really need to work your butt off in this class. It can be a drag but do your best and you will succeed.
This class wasn't too hard in my opinion. Surprisingly ended up with an A. I found it easier than Engl 100. First, keep up with all your work. Second, don't lag behind essays and ASK FOR HELP. He's always there for office hours/email. Gives helpful information!! I recommend him a lot. Don't be intimidated.
Christensen is unlike any other professor. Rather than teach specific material, he teaches you to think. Without his classes, I would never have developed the critical analysis skills which are so crucial to helping me succeed in my life.
Very helpful instructor. But you gotta work really hard to get an A. Unless you are a genius addition with perfect luck, most possibly you won't get an A.
Completely terrible experience with this instructor. He will never satisfy with your writing but he won't point out clearly what he wants. He will just keep denying all the student's effort.
Class was straight forward. Consisted of Vocabulary log, Double Entry Journal and some worksheets. Grading of essays was very straight forward. Although he doesn't pinpoint every mistake you made he tells you what your reoccurring mistakes are. Lets you resubmit essays for a better grade within time frame. Class discussions always interesting.
Great professor. Professor Christensen is very friendly and has a superior knowledge on the subject. He presented the material very interesting way. He was very understanding and made me look forward to his class.
excellent instructor. We did a lot of writing of course but he was helpful. the books we read were interesting. we did group work and the class interaction was great. He is very clear and makes sure everyone understands before moving forward with lecture. If only he was still teaching in class rather than online because i would take him again
I found it hard to get through the readings at the beginning, but Christensen made the explanations very clear in class and now I know the novels are worth your while to read. In fact, because of the books, I can say it is the best class I have taken so far. The prof is first rate too. He is smart and funny and makes the class exciting to go to.
I HATE ENGLISH. I'm afraid to talk to my teachers, but professor Christensen is super easy to talk to. He isn't intimidating and for the amount of work he puts into grading your assignments you can really tell that he cares. He is super nice. I wish I took him for 846 and 100. He's a rare one & THE KEY to passing is ACTUALLY doing your work!!!!!!!
This professor is invested in his students. There's a lot of homework and a total of 4 essays but all topics are interesting and beneficial -so I don't mind. He responds quick to emails and homework. He is a fair grader and gives awesome feedback. He is a must take! I enjoyed his class this summer.
This is a class known for having so many piles of assignments and essays. Harsh grading and many pulling overnighters to keep up with the so many assignments he puts up. DO NOT TAKE IF THIS ISN'T THE ONLY CLASS YOU TAKE. HE WANTS YOU TO PRIORITISE THIS CLASS OVER YOUR OTHER CLASS.
Hes the worst. I thought that I could handle it because Ive taken many classes at the same Toms. I was wrong, he kept grading unfairly and gave so much unnecessary assignments. I could go on and on but Id rather not.
It was one of the best class. he is tough but he taught me alot.
Don't take this class if your going for an easy A or even a simple pass. This class will demoralize you to go on with how much reading and writing you will need to do.
I took this class Fall 2020 during lockdown. I was already taking 12 units + this one and it was the hardest. There is SO much reading for this course, a ton of small assignments that add up, and he is a very tough grader. The only thing I really liked was the reading material. Forces you think and gives you a new perspective on the world.
He is the best. I learnt so much. Prof. Christensen is already so much respected among students among SFSU.
He is the best ever!
This professor is invested in his students so much. If you want to learn take his class.
He'll definitely help you with your reading and writing. He's not just a stand-around teacher. You have to work for your grade, seriously. Don't recommend taking him if you're looking for an easy pass. Although, take him if you're looking for a challenge. LOTS of reading, weekly discussions on different books.
I took his class during the summer and I had a great experience! All the readings were engaging and relevant. His requirements are direct and easy to understand.
For sure, not for Easy A-rs.
Really hard to maintain a relationship professor- student. Did every single task but for a reason never felt that I was understanding the object of the class.
Very good teacher, however be prepared to read a bit. Cares a lot about students and homework is manageable. Also allows revisions so should be impossible to not receive an A unless you don't try.
Please do not take this professor unless if you like to read lot. Also he has a strict grading policy. Like if you miss an assignment or make a single mistake on it, you get a zero. He does not give partial credit for partial work!!
Never slacked in his class because he is strict, got an A+. He gives great feedback, small possibility of extra credit, and allow revisions only if you complete the assignment initially. His main assignments are ~4 ~4-6 pages essays, final essay 6-8 pages, discussions once a week about topics requiring 1 hr of reading + 1 hr of writing.
One of the worst professors at Skyline. Gives you a 0 over errors without a chance to fix it!! Also his instructions is very difficult to understand on Canvas!! Too much reading and homework!! Please take someone else!!
Sets the bar high and expects full integrity and effort. You will work hard and earn your grade — if you're not serious, this class is not for you.
