good teacher, fukin HARD marker..

Enjoyed the class, bit of a hard marker, but very interesting class

best Eng teacher at Kwantlen, highly recommended

nice guy and easy on the eyes--never discredits u but not easy marker: great guy

He gives participation marks, helps u w/assignment..not bad. hard marker though.

Good prof, but he tends to be opinionated when it comes to answers from the class, and he's a real hard marker.

a very very very very very good-lloking instructor... ^^

This guy is so not hot! He's a middle aged asian stick! A hard marker, but all English profs are. A nice guy though.

you can tell he's a smart guy, but in my opinion he doesn't project that through his teaching. he marks less than fairly. HE IS NOT HOT! he is clear in his expectations.

even though the highest grade I got on an essay was a b- I got an A- in the class..he is very helpful by telling you what he wants on essays but then he marks them hard anyway!! independent class. you learn about authors lives.

Although he is a hard marker, he is very clear in what he wants, he's also pretty good looking for a prof!

he's very patient,a fair marker and clearly expains the material. he loves different views or insights, just be sure you can back up your opinions and you'll do great in his class. remember to look for a "hum..." on your paper, that's a good s

Wow! He's HOT! ...and an excellent teacher...makes me want to take english every semester!

He is really all that! He is like.."ooh la la"..definately a good-looking instructor. Even though his classes are soooooooooo early, I'll stay wide awake just looking at his gorgeous face.

very nice...soft voice sooo soothing...he is a very fair guy and will do anything to help you, especially with poetry!!!

Very interesting teacher, fun to learn with. Super nice and straight forward. He is farily hard though, maybe too hard.

Hard markre. A 'group-work' taecher, meaning he doesn't instruct enuff....have'nt learnt anything relly....see, can't spell?

Yes, hard marker but the best at Kwantlen. He's nice and very approachable. Unlike the other English profs he's willing to help you if you need it.

Awesome teacher. He's not as bad as other people have said - you guys haven't been taught by the worst. He's definetly NOT easy, but I'd say he's a fair marker. Group work = easy mark.

nice guy, helpful, intersting lectures

really nice guy. easy to understand. if you show up to every class and participate in every class discussion you can do well. highly recommended!!

Very fair guy. He gives you what you deserve. He's not easy where you get A for doing nothing, but if he sees you that u worked hard and tried your best, he'll give you a decent mark unlike many other english teachers. Recommended for future classes

Good Teacher. He's not the easiest marker, but will ensure that you learn the material and is very open and willing to help. Very writing intensive so be prepared to write 1-2 essays per week.

Very good english teacher. One of the best. Marks fairly and tells you what you need to improve on. Classes are fun. Good amount of movies and homework. Overall a must have. made my first semester very welcoming.

Very hard prof. I failed my first course. Guess he's approchable and explains if you need help. Marks really hard.

not the easiest of markers but if you come to every class and participate, you will do well.

Cool guy....knows his stuff....i learned lots.....very friendly...lots of assignments though and not enough time for exams.

Nice teacher. Very informative. An EXTREMLEY hard marker. Do not expect ANY mercy in the marking. Not extremely clear in all of his expectations for assignments. Will give you feedback when asked - brutally honest in the critiquing. Good class discussions though. Short time frame for exams - Write fast!

I will echo the others when I say that he is very honest in his evaluation of your work, but he tries to give compliments as well as suggestions for improvement. Marks somewhat hard but is fair. Interesting course material and class discussions. Provides a comfortable environment for class participation.

He is very nice...and is pritti fun in his class...but he marks REALLY HARRDDD!!! dun take it if u dun wanna put yr GPA @ riskkk!!

He's a super hard marker, but it's not unwarrented critique. It makes you strive to do better, which will prepare you better for other classes at University. The critiques are clear and helpful, pointing out where to go next and how to improve. Also includes compliments. It's valuable stuff. My writing improved a lot in that class.

I highly recommend Greg as a techer. Articulated, well spoken, knowledgable and helpful. Hard but fair marker, offers excellent feedback on your assignments. Very witty, makes classes interesting. Again, highly recommended.

Greg Chan is an excellent teacher for English. If I were to recommend a teacher for English I would recommend only Greg.

Great teacher. Very patient and really knows his stuff!

Greg is simply the best english teacher I've ever met!!

Class is extremely enjoyable to attend. With a mixture of songs, movies, youtube, and group discussions, as well as notes. The notes taken dont help towards essays/tests. Marking strategy is hard, there is no guideline. When you get your essay back, you have a low mark, yet his comments say your paper was great.

He's a hard marker but fair at the same time. He mostly give great critiques and pointers to improve your writing and he chooses interesting topics and essays to read. Fun class discussions. He's somewhat helpful if you know specificly what you're asking.Overall, I enjoyed it.

I found his class to be entertaining. We got to watch a few do****entaries. I'm not sure what it is with English teachers and LOST, but they seem to dig it. He's a very picky marker, but he gives you a lot of comments. There's a lot of group work, discussion and in-class assignments. Overall, hard to please, but interesting.

GREG!! He's a good teacher (not too sure if he's the best, but he probably is). I do recommend him, and my other friends did recommend me for his class before I took the course. So, watch out for punctuation, coherency, and sharpen your writing skills when writing your essays. I love his word use and diction when he instructs his class.

I personally don't like English class, but I find his class is very interesting. I like him very much. He is very generous and patient. However, he does not check email very often; just find him at the office.

His class was one of the few I actually enjoyed.

Great Prof, just like any other English prof, is somewhat difficult when it comes down to marking essays. But, his lectures are worth the money and time! He is very knowledgeable about what he teaches and he is very helpful when students need help via email or over the phone too! Great prof, trust me, you will not regret it! Definitely Worth While!

Take him if you are ACTUALLY planning to do English. If you are just trying to get a passing grade like me, then avoid at all costs. His class average was C-/C. 10% participation, 10% online weekly assignments, 25% final, 5% quiz, 50% other essayssss

Greg's a good prof, his lectures are all based on essays. He is a HARD marker. Prefers MLA style. We watched a few videos in class and had questions to do, PAY ATTENTION TO THE VIDEOS. A helpful, easy to approach, and friendly prof. I recommend him if you like English, if not... good luck.

Greg Chan is amazing! Marks very HARD, but he gives you a lot of comments on your paper. good looking. A man with class. Very smart and diction is very good.

He was honestly the only eye-candy I had in class .. extremely good looking. His lectures are super fun, and very clear. He tries to engage everyone in debatable topics, and actually listens to what the students are saying. He's always available to answer any concerns, and gives us questions before-hand to prepare for exams. HOT & AMAZING! TAKE HIM

Greg is a great Prof, I would def recommend taking him. He is very clear in his lectures. I took this same class before with another instructor but had to drop it, and found that Greg requires u to do the minimum amt of reading. My only complaint is he doesn't give u the heads up of when things are due, so just make sure u pay attention 2 deadlines

Greg is an amazing instructor. He gives very detailed feedback, instructions and what he expects of his students. I would DEFINITELY recommend him to anyone looking to take his class!

He is very interesting and teaches you what you need to know. He also keeps engaging discussions in class and answers all the questions. He also lets you re do assignments to help you out and yeah, he's awesome.

Like most English courses, your essays are heavily scrutinized, however understanding Mr. Chan's feedback can improve your mark significantly. He forms a comfortable learning atmosphere for improving our essay writing skills and thought processes. Overall, he's an excellent prof, but be prepared to receive your essay back with a lot of green ink.

Best Eng prof ever , quite helpful and clear with instructions; give attendance marks sometimes; hardly used the other "required" book, so don't buy it unless you want to waste $80 or something!!

Greg is helpful, but has high expectations for a first year class, and marks quite hard. I did well, but would typically be one of only 2-3 A papers. I would take Greg again, but for those looking for an easy ENGL 1100, this isn't it.

Greg is an awesome English teacher, particularly because he wants all his students to succeed in his class. Unlike my first experience 1100 I wasn't going to take another English class but he really helped out and he was approachable unlike the other profs. It's not a easy class but you defiantly learn a lot.

Prof Chan has very detailed requirements for essays; however, it's not that hard to follow them. Lectures are important because he lays out the expectations for the essays. A bit of effort will be needed when working on the papers. He's a nice guy overall. Definitely not a GPA booster, but isn't an unreasonable marker. Be ready to put in work.

I felt lucky to have this great professor. His lecture is very clear and well organized. From the interesting readings and writing assignments, I got not only the improvement of English but also the spirital growth. Thank you!

He is a good guy and tries to help you. His feedback is very detail. The mark is reasonable. ENGL is not a easy class. I worked hard and spent a lot of time to write essays since English is my second language.

The essay and paragraphs were scrutinized, which was excellent feedback. His lectures were neat and organized and easy to follow. Even when I didnt finish or did the readings of the week, I wouldnt feel lost during the lectures. He is very approachable when it comes to homework and assignments. I would definitely take a course with him again.

He made me a better writer and better student overall. Go see Greg during office hours for extra help.

Only one big paper and a shorter in-class essay (he says he doesn't like final exam essays). Sometimes we didn't even have a physical class, just do an assignment on our own and hand it in to his office. Be sure to check your email in his class!! He's a fave :)

As a first year student I was intimidated by university English courses. Gregory Chan is a great prof who gave me excellent feedback which has helped me improve my writing significantly. Be sure to show participation in his class- it wont go unnoticed. Also, be sure to go to his office hours for extra help, it pays off in the end.

Very good and easy prof! Takes out time to critique each paper thoroughly and gives helpful feedback. Definitely recommend him!!

He's really fun and engaging professor, and he truly wants to help his students during and after class.

Mr. Chan is an excellent teacher. He cares deeply for his students and he puts in a tremendous effort to watch them succeed. His lectures are interesting and he has a passion for what hes teaching. He encourages his students to express their opinion and he is always ready to help. Teaching aside, he is a lovely and positive person to speak to.

Very difficult when it comes to marking and takes forever to return marked assignments. Attendance is mandatory as he does many in-class workshops that count for marks.

I got a B in high school and a B in university, but I tried ten times harder in uni. I worked so hard for that B since I am naturally not that good in English. If you are talented and have done good in English before, he will probably mark fair but if you are a beginner and struggle, I would recommend someone else. He did no Finals, fewer essays.

Some might say avoid this proffesor... But seriously he is genuinely a good proffesor as his live lectures were always been helpful and he is responsive through emails also and i agree he is a tough grader, but if you Will study hard you Will get a good grade. I will strongly recommend him for English 1100 course.

Greg is great. My written English significantly improved after taking his 1100 course. Lectures are optional but would highly recommend. They are short and really helped me stay up to date on what's going on and in class exercises. Keeping up with the blogs is also a good way to know what is going on. The work load is fair. A caring prof.

Professor Chan is passionate, caring and super involved in teaching. His lectures are engaging and the guidelines for all assignments are very clear. He provides good feedback and opportunities to reach out for help if necessary. He is a tough grader, but you'll be a better writer for it!

Not sure why he has such a low rating, he can be a little tough at grading but you'll be fine if you actually do your assignments. He's friendly and puts a lot of effort into his lectures. Always includes everyone in class discussion and encourages us to share our ideas. Funny and understanding.
