Mr. Garner does a good job of outlining his expectations. Learning of the course material is mostly self-directed, but Mr. Garner conducts class activities to reinforce the readings. He is clear on what he considers a good essay, and what he considers a bad essay; a wise student will adhere to the standards laid out in the CTC writing rubric.

Mr. Garner expects you to write on a college level because surprise...you are in college! Anyone who says that he is not helpful either did not show up to class, or did not stay to take advantage of the class time given to work on the essays. He would only say, "look at the syllabus" when a question was asked that should have been known.

Mr. Garner is a great teacher and person, but he is also very tough. If you are in college to goof around or half do things, he is not the teacher for you. If you are willing to put all your effort into your essays, then you will do absolutely fine.

Garner was a wonderful teacher. He tells you right off what he does not like and gives handouts to help you. Yes you have to do work but this is college not high school. He gives you ample time to do the work and prepare for tests. If you pay attention to his comments on your papers and improve them you should do fine. I worked hard and got an A.

helpful, harsh on grading papers, but just follow his instructions and you'll do good, real strict. I don't highly recommend him unless you have to take his class.

Mr. Garner is a increadably gifted teacher. He is VERY strick when it come to hims paper requirements, so if you are lazy don't take his class. He explains exactly what he expects at the beginning of the semester, and expects nothing less than that. His class is informative and interesting, but if you expect a free ride, hes not the teacher for you

He is a hard teacher, but as long as a student goes to him for help and guidence in writing your papers he is more than helpful. If your desire s to make and A in his Class and you show the effort and work to make the grade..he will help you you succeed in that effort. just ask him for help..and what you can do to your paper to make a good grade..

Took him for English 1101, he is not a hard or difficult teacher if your are willing to learn and work hard. Textbook use is a must and most of the quizes are based off of reading of the chapters! Do not slack on the homework or you will fail! Also, be mindful that he will not read an essay if the requirements are not met- such as MLA format.

I took Mr. Garner this year and I will say he is a tough teacher, but if you work hard you will do fine. I made A's on all my papers and he has no problem helping you with them if you try. This is not a class for a slcker! A's are earned in his class. I actually enjoyed his class because it he brought out writting in me I didn't know I had.

If you want a challenge, take Mr. Garner. He shows what should and shouldn't be in a paper. So if you put things in a paper that shouldn't be in there, you'' get a low score. I got a 60 on the first paper, and passed all the others with with hard work and showing up every day. I took him for 1102 also and got an A. understand what he wants.

Mr. Garner is FANTASTIC!! He basically tells you exactly what you need to write in your papers to get an A. He makes class interesting, with a not so interesting subject. If you show up, do your work, and accept his help, you should have no problem getting an A.

I took his 1101 class and am now in his 1102 class. If you try he will work with you. Just make sure not to have any of his "major editing errors" on essays.

Great class! Mr. Garner is very organized and methodical with his classwork and homework. You know exactly what to expect. All readings are reviewed and explained. Definitely attend the optional writing conferences, never made below a 95 on an essay. Definitely read everything assigned you will be quizzed. Very nice guy!

Mr Garner is a very harsh Grader and will give you a failing grade for very little reasons.

Mr. Garner is a wonderful instructor. If you follow directions, take notes and turn in your work on time, you'll make an A. Students do complain that he's too harsh...only because they usually plagiarize essays, don't turn work in on time or put very little effort into the class--this is college, not high school. Wonderful teacher!!!

If you listen in class and go to the writing conferences every essay you will do fine. Make sure you read the assigned homework pages in the textbook. I learned a lot about writing essays the right way in his class. He knows what he is doing and is very serious about grades. I thought he was a very good teacher that actually teaches!

Mr.Garner is an outstanding instructor. All you need to do is read your homework and take time on your essays. He will quiz you on your homework! If he sees that you are really trying he will help you.

He takes off for crazy things, like grammer, spelling, punctaution and organization. Even if you write on the wrong topic. He doesnt give you a passing grade, just for trying. Tough instructor.

This was the only class I've taken at CTC where I learned a lot. Mr. Garner was outstanding. My writing has improved great. He's tough, but college is suppose to be tough. I would recommend him if you're interested in really learning.

He was an excellent English teacher. Yes, he mainly cares about writing essays, but that is what the class is about. He let us email our (final draft ready) essay to him at the beginning of the week it was due in order to get feedback. If you took advantage of that, you could correct mistakes and have an A. Answered emails promptly. Big help!

The best instructor I've had. He's helpful and intelligent. Students who do poorly have been spoiled by other really easy teachers at this school. I only wish Mr. Gardner taught other types of courses because I like his teaching style and high college standards.

I took him as a transient student last summer, and I learned a lot. My professors at KSU compliment me on my writing and its all because of him. He is always available for help and he's freindly. Students who complain about his grading should really thank him for trying to make them better writers.

Garner is a great professor. Learned a lot from his class. He teaches what he expects so pay attention and if you have questions just ask. You have 4 papers total and a final. You have books that are required but I opened mine maybe twice. However, the quizzes have maybe 2 out of 8 questions from the readings. Work for your grade. Helps you a ton!

You'll learn a whole lot, but you have to WORK! He holds one class every paper where he can help you with it individually. He tells you what to fix, how easy and helpful is that. If you can't do well on the essays, your just not trying and your not college material.

Mr. Garner is very professional, organized, and helpful. His online course looks a lot better than most professors, and he's always telling students to contact him for help (though, I don't think many do). He gives four papers and several smaller assignments, that are easy if you read the directions and avoid text language.

He expects you to know grammar and to follow his instructions to do good on papers. He doesn't give you good grades--you have to work for them. He tells you all of this before the papers are due and repeats these directions over and over again. If you don't pass then college isn't for you.

He gives you 4 essays to write and he helps you with each, if you ask for help. He gives a lot of help on the announcements page too. The final is only 5% but it's very easy. I'd take him again.

Great teacher. VERY HARD grader. Only take class if you like writing. Class has 4 papers, 1 test, and all quizzes are pop quizzes, but don't count for much of final grade. Allowed to redo or submit late 1 paper only.

Mr. Garner is the best english teacher i've ever had. He will sit down with you and go through your paper and blatantly point out what he would count off for, THEN HE LETS YOU FIX IT. If you take advantage of this every time it's offered and don't be an idiot and copy/paste your essay you make a super easy A.

He is great. Recommend him definitely.

I enjoyed this class. He is very enthusiastic and wants everyone to learn.

He expects the best out of you and you will leave his class being a much better writer.

I took this class online last semester. He is enthusiastic about writing, willingly helps students, and gives the neatest assignments.

took this class online last semester. He is enthusiastic about writing, willingly helps students, and gives great assignments.

He's great, because his assignment directions were clear and he gave lots of individual help on the papers. There are four papers, he will help you clean up the papers before you turn them in. Also you can revise one for a new grade. I wish he taught more subjects then English.

I hope he is teaching more English classes. I had him for ENGL1101. He is very helpful and tells you exactly what he wants you to do. I hate writing, but he made it a lot easier.

He has high expectations of students; he is also knowledgeable, encouraging, and excellent teacher, and extremely helpful. What more can you expect from an English professor?! I highly recommend him. He is one of the best teachers at Chat Tech!

I struggle with writing and literature, but had NO problems with this class. He gives clear instructions on papers, very organized, and makes things easy to find in Blackboard Learn. If you are looking for a great English teacher, take him. Again, I struggle with English with a passion, but he was so encouraging and helpful.

Despite what most of my classmates said, I adored Professor Garner. His tough grading criteria was exactly what I needed to excel. He gives great feedback before you even turn in a paper, so there is no excuse to fail. I think this class is a great introduction into what the rest of college is like. I'm even taking his other class next semester!

He's a great professor. No complaints. He wants you to succeed. Highly recommend.

Garner is a hard teacher, but that's what makes him amazing. He cares about his students and how well they do, he leaves great feedback, and he grades very strictly. You'll learn a lot from his classes.

do not show up late, do not use your phone. He gives you everything you need to pass. Will provide notes/links every week. Iwould have had the same grade without the textbook. he is a fair grader and if you learn from your mistakes, listen and take advantage of the material you will do well.

Mr. Garner was a good teacher from my perspective. He was always very clear and answered questions clearly and concisely. His grading techniques were the same for each of the 4 papers and always held writing conferences on the 2nd class day of the weeks papers were due. Other weeks most of the second class days were optional. Definitely recommend.

Mr. Garner's course was designed well, alot better than most professors. His expectations and materials were clear. He was always there to help me with my essays. There were 4 essays, and some discussion boards and quizzes. I would take him again because I learn soooo much.

I had an awesome semester with this professor. He does have clear expectations and wants students to do well. I highly recommend him.

It was not hard at all! I actually had fun in an English class. I highly recommend him, especially if you are taking online.

It was an easy class for me and writing is not my strength. He has a great Blackboard Learn course. You have no problems finding information. He also has a clear grading criteria, and gives wonderful feedback on his assignments. The assignments are very interesting and you should do well if you keep up with reading.

As a MOWR student, this was an excellent semester for me. I had a great English teacher and an awesome math teacher. This teacher made class enjoyable. He also has clear expectations and grades fairly. Easy class for me! Highly recommend.

Absolutely the best Prof I ever came across at CTC. Very precise and prompt. Grading rubrics are very clear and he posts updates regularly. You will write 4 essays, few quizzes, and the final. He is available to go thru your essay before submission. I'll take him again if I ever need to.

Mr. Garner is straightforward and blunt. There are four essays, 4 quizzes and a final. Most of your time will be spent on writing the essays and you get three weeks to write them. Easy A if you do well on the essays and final. DO NOT BUY THE BOOK!!!! I have never once opened the book. trust me. I really only went on days he talked about the essays.

This is such an enjoyable class. The teacher is very knowledgeable and grades fairly. The assignments are very interesting and enjoyable. My writing has improved. I highly recommend this teacher.

To my surprise, it was actually a great class. I thought English classes would be suffocating but this professor makes it very easy to love reading and writing. I took my first class with him this summer, and plan to take another class with him next semester!

Highly recommend this prof. Had a great time this semester!

I took Mr. Garner this past Spring 2017 semester. He is very knowledgeable, fair, and organized. I learned a lot from him. He is not only a good professor, but he also cares about the students. As someone who has returned to school after 10 years (and does not like writing), I can say that it was an extremely delightful experience.

This class definitely made me better at writing. It was hard, but worth it. I would definitely recommend him if you want to be a better writer.

He is very clear about what he wants.

Easy A. I enjoyed this class. Just ask for help and he is willing to help you. And easy.

He gives you four essays, a few discussion boards and a few quizzes. If you read the material and apply that to your work, you should do good. I learned a lot because he was very helpful.

He gives alot of useful handouts and lectures that prep u for the assignments. He even will help & review your papers with u before you turn them in. If you do the work, try to learn, you should be fine. I will take him again in 1102 definately.

I had to take his class twice. I didn't take it seriously the first time and failed. The second time I passed because I read the files and worked with him on my writing. Every week there's stuff that preps you for the work. He gives you 7 days for each assignment. He's certainly tough but I learned alot.

At first I thought it was a difficult class until I realized if you just follow his instructions on homework, and do what is asked of you, you will receive an A. He is strict when it comes to deadlines and he is very fast getting the grades in, like a day or two. I learned a lot in his class.

A great experience for my first DE class. The people who failed didn't do the discussion boards, they may not be worth a lot but they can either help or hurt your grade. Attendance is not mandatory but if you go to the writing conference it is almost impossible to fail an essay because he tells you what to fix.

I just did the no show assignment and turned nothing else in the entire quarter and I got an A. You can just do the work you want and whatever grade you have for those assignments, he'll give you that grade. Don't believe all the 0s he puts down for the missed work. He'll delete those by the end of the term and you'll easily pass.

His paper directions and expectations are clear. He helped me clean up my essays and I earned As on all the papers and really write much better. Only half the students show up to class but he warns them it would effect their grades. Definately a knowledgeable and helpful instructor. I don't know why he teachs here though.

He provides clear instructions and is no-nonsense. If you read the instructions carefully and follow them, you will do great in his class. If you have questions or concerns, simply reach out to him. He gives very good feedback.

Great for ENGL 1101. Recommend!

He will fail you if your lazy and don't follow directions. Gives tons of feedback on papers and even helps with your paper before you turn it in. Straightforward professor. If you fail his class, then maybe college isn't for you. Easy.

Everything is online and it was really easy. I would recommend his summer course.

Easy A. I took him last Spring Semester and I never made anything lower than an A except on the final exam. Do all the work, read the assignment directions, and get an A. He even reviews papers for you! Will take for ENG 1102.

Interesting professor. Took his 1101 & 1102 classes. Easy enough with a little work put in. He allows you to come by his office to receive feedback on your paper before turning it in, which is very helpful.

A great professor who cares about his students. He simply wants you to do well, is willing to help, has high expectations of students, and wants students to also have high expectations of him. And his Blackboard Learn is super-organized!!! I recommend him!

Follow his instructions and you can pass the class. He does his best to catch you up on the grammar you don't know before you start writing essays. Good professor. Teaches you English. Doesn't need to be liked.

You write one essay each month, a few quizzes, and a few discussion boards too. He's very helpful, you just have to do all the work he gives you each week and you'll get an A.

He is a very laid back down to earth person. I took his class in the summer and it was a breeze. There is one discussion board per week and three essays. He will tell you that you need a text book but we didn't use it at all. All quizzes are short and online. They are also timed and same for the tests. I definitely recommend him.

I've had the pleasure of taking 5 outstanding professors this semester. Mr. Garner is one of them. Not only did I enjoy his class, but I am also a better writer. He is very enthusiastic and extremely organized.

He made me a better writer. His class work is challenging, but easy if you follow directions and work hard. I'd take him again. He's very knowledgable and easy to talk to.

Seriously not a bad professor at all. All the reviews make him seem terrible but the class is pretty easy. He is very straight forward and will help you. As long as you are an average student that goes to class and you do all course work you will receive a good grade!

Mr. Garner is a good teacher. He is clear about what he wants and simply expects us to act like adults and live up to it.

If you are lazy, this class is not for you. Thanks to Professor Garner I have succeeded in all of my classes. I honestly learned so much from him when I was dual enrolled at CTC. I am now at a University and I cannot stress enough how easy it is for me to write essays. I took him for both ENG1101 and 1102. 4 essays each semester. He's very helpful!

Professor Garners class can be difficult at times, but he is a GOOD professor. Get ready to write! You have at least four essays, have to proof read other students papers, post to discussion boards, and complete a good amount of homework. Everything seemed a bit overwhelming at first, but if you failed his class its because you didnt TRY.

If you work hard, youll pass. He gives several essay a with excellent feedback. He will even help you on the papers. Its tough but once you apply your self its pretty easy.

I learned so much. Hes challenging but it is college and he expects us to be responsible and accountable for our actions. Go to the writing meetings. His great feedback meant I never made lower than a 92 on the essays. Easy.

Garner was great. I took him twice. The class before when essays are due hed spend the time reviewing and editing papers. I barely tried and made a high B. He asks to not be on your phone. He always ends class early and attendance isnt a grade. I highly recommend him

He is so easy. There are three essays, a few discussion boards and he helps you with each of them 1 on 1. Gives any deadline extension if you ask for them and even gives extra credit if you ask too. Super easy.

He's pretty easy, if you follow directions. He offers to look over your paper, before you turn it in, so there's no excuse not to get a A. He talks a lot about grammar and mla and plagiarism. If you plagiarize your paper, he'll give you a zero. Just follow directions & you'll be fine. I learned so much. Great professor!!!

I wont lie, hes tough. I had to work for my C, but I learned SO much. He gives u everything u need to do well so do ALL the work, not just the parts for a grades. He has high standards and it shows. Great!

Hes tough. Hell grade your papers based on the rubric he gives so prepare to read and take the clase serious. He takes off big points for comma splices, run ons , and fragments. Hes hard but I think Im better at writing.

Professor Garner grades very strict, but he is a great professor. We had 4 papers during the semester, he gives the topics to choose from they all had to do with school. He will review your paper before turning in the final draft to give extra feedback. If you correct all feedback & do all the weekly assignments you will pass the class. I got an A

His course was challenging and VERY organised. If you do the work like he asked, its hard not to pass and do well. He gives 1 on 1 help with essays. I took him for 1101 and sailed thru 1102 and 2130. Highly recommended.

Mr. Garner. Wow! He is full of knowledge and he has a dry sense of humor which was hilarious. His class is challenging, but you will make an A if you do everything he asks. He also lets you re-submit an essay of your lowest grade.

He was a great online teacher. There were 4 essays and you get 3 weeks to work on each 1. He gave example papers for each style. He gave personalized feedback before and AFTER you turned them in. He responded that quickly to emails but you have to work to do well. I can write and study better because of him!!!

Professor Garner definitely wants things done a specific way. Look over the handouts he gives you and ask for feedback before submitting essays and you should be fine. Do not wait last minute to complete his assignments and make sure you complete the weekly assignments because they do lock at midnight on Sunday and become inaccessible.

I had to work hard for my C. He gives you so much material to help you with the papers and is available to talk Monday thru Friday only. If you do what he says youll pass. The final exam and no-show were easy.

Good. Nice and helpful.

I took him this summer. Make sure to read and do EVERYTHING because knowing that stuff will help you with the essays you write. 3 essays, some quizzes. He reviewed my paper every time before I turned them in. Gives great 1 on 1 help. Super easy.

Hes the closest to a real professor youll get at Chatt Tech. He has high standards for his students, & you learn a lot. He helps you with each of the 4 papers and lets you fix one paper. I am happy to walk away with a low A, because it was a challenge.

Mr. Garner is a great professor. before taking his class, I read some awful comments and was scared at first. But today, I won't regret taking him. Just do what he is asking you to do.

He is hard for a tech college professor, but I learned SO much. Youre never not busy each week. There are 4 papers, some quizzes and discussion boards. You just have to pay attention and do whta he says. Will definitely take him for 102.

Tough but a doable class where you learn a lot. Good at answering emails but not in the weekends. Gives helpful comments and help on your papers. I made as on all my papers but the ones I read in the DBs posted were pretty bad. Hes not that hard but if your a bad student, yes youll fail

Good. He taught me the usual college writing stuff. Make sure to check your spellings on the discussion boards and never asked to turn late work in.

We had an essay every couple of weeks, but they were pretty easy.

A real college teacher. Four essays, few discussion boards and quizzes. He offers to work with you on your papers before you turn them in. No way to fail. The course is nice in black board and he emails quickly but no weekends.

His online class has 4 essays, some discussion boards and a few quizzes. All u need to pass is there, he answers emails quickly, he reviews your essays for u before turning it in. I have signed up for his next course, because I like how he teaches

He certainly wants you to learn. There were four essays and he gave you time to work on them in class and he helped us each with the papers. He reviewed them before we submitted them so that we earned good grades. Quizzes were easy. Final was very easy.

By far, my FAVORITE teacher at Chatt Tech. Essays are easy to write, because he gives very clear instructions on how to get a good grade. He cares about his students. He also allows students to send him their paper to review before submitting it. He also tells you what he enjoys about your paper, and what to look out for in the future.

I absolutely LOVED Mr. Garner! He was my favorite teacher by far and was such an easy class. The classes are optional and he gives plenty of time to work in class. He lets you come in on Wednesdays so he can review your essays and he will directly tell you what you need to do to get an A. His essays are easy and so are all his quizzes and homework
