1101, 1102, etc. All his classes are awesome, u'll learn and love the class. simple papers. Test+Qz str8 forward.
Hank is so cool, he explains everything very thoroughly and helps whenever you need it. Great teacher
Great, fun prof...expects you to get things done but isn't too hard on you. I love Hank!
Hank is awesome...he actually makes British Literature very interesting. He is so awesome, and his test are exactly what he says. he isin't trying to trick people. Take him, he's great!
Hank is a great teacher!! He makes learning western lit. interesting. He has a great sense of humor. His test are long, but he gives out reviews which match everything on the test. Just read the material and study the guide and you'll do great!
Great professor! His class is totally worth it!
Great teacher. He is very helpful and he is pretty straight forward with the material. His review sheets before the tests are very helpful too. His tests aren't tricky and he will cover everything that is on the test. Bonus questions are a give away.
Awesome teacher. Reccommend to everyone. Really makes sence of things like poetry and shakespeare. One of if not the best teacher at GPC. THANKS HANK!!!
Hank, is good teacher. His lectures are done well. He gives effective study guides before and tells you what you can expect to see on tests. He sets you up nicely, if you do the work then you should be able to maek an A.
TAKE THIS TEACHER... One of if not THE best in GPC.Everything a good teacher would have, Hank has.Cares about his students, sympathizes, understands and really teaches stuff so that you learn in a way that isn't hard or boring.I wanted to take him this semester but he was teaching@a time I could come..So I was totally bummed!!!
SOOO CUTE & FUNNY!! Quizzes are taken AFTER we go over everything in class. He is very straightforeward and very understanding of anything that makes you late or miss class. He is very helpful. Just perfect over all. And I hate English! But he made is super easy to understand! LOVE HIM!
Wonderful. Very stress free. Gives you all he’s got and prepares you for quizzes and test. No surprises. Helps you as much as is possible. Listen to his guide and study what he says to study and you’ll be good. Final exam only dealt with material after mid-term. That was great since the subject already has so much content.
Great guy and a very helpful! I would definitely take this teacher again and again!
Really great teacher. Obviously has a passion for what he teaches and makes everything clear on what he wants regarding papers. Gives out a study guide for the midterm and final AND goes over the study guide in class.
he is so fun and he is so open to class participation. he is great at what he does. he is a hard grader on papers but it is soo helpful in the long run. He has no attitude or ego probs and that make him a great teacher. I wanted to take him again but had sched conflict. I really got a lot out of his class. he never made me feel stupid. he is nice
Could 'Paradise Lost' be fun? Can you chuckle at King Lear? YES. Hank is articulate, intelligent, knowledgeable and interesting. Wants you to succeed. Mind your grammar and be clear on papers. Listen, take notes, study; you'll get a good grade. The best I've taken. Interesting lecturer, knows topic and reads it like Olivier. It was a pleasure!
Professor Edison has the rare ablilty to make the subject matter interesting.
take his classes whenever possible! he's the best, he's funny, and i actually enjoyed king lear (!!!).
Excellent teacher!! actually makes literature fun!! his quizzes are easy as long as you read over the material that he hand feeds you in class!! He has a amazing character that makes the time go by!!
He is the best professor i have had at gpc. he makes a dull subject so much fun. His quizzes come straight from his lecture and notes. He is funny and knows how to communicate to his students, and any time you need help he will come to your attention.
He was okay. It was easy to do his quizzes and tests if you followed his study sheet, but he talked about sex way to much. Sometimes you'd like a poem, and then after he talked about it, I wouldn't.
Great Professor! Funny and smart. Very helpful! I'm going to sign up for his World Lit class this Fall Semester.
The best class I have ever taken at GPC-he is a hoot, and you will learn a lot at the same time. His accent is fun to listen to, and the material is interesting. If you have a brain & speak English-you should easily get an A!
Mr. Eidson is awesome!!! He makes his lectures very interesting, and he is very funny. I learned a lot in his class and had fun while doing it. He did keep changing his due dates, however, which got to be a bit annoying. Overall, he is one of the best teachers I have had at GPC.
the best teacher i've had in a long time. he is very easy,helpful, funny, and explains his lectures really well. write everything he says/explains because its gonna be in the tests. i got an A in his class, and English is not even my native language!!! Prof. Eidson rocks!!!
His class is fun, but tests and quizzes are hard and long( you have to write 10 page for midterm and final). you haveto write an essay on poetry on final and it's really hard.
1st half of semester is short stories and plays. Quizes every week and 1 paper due. 2nd half is poems. Difficult, but lectures completely clear the poems up. Final and midterm are HARD but if your attendance is good you'll ace. Also, research paper and poem paper towards end of semester. LOVEs his job and it shows. Funny, fun, and helpful A+
i love hank, can u imagine a country boy teaching shakespeare? really easy quizes (just write down EVERYTHING he says & go to class) but REALLY hard papers, so good balance. he is quite opinionated and like many teachers wants u to see how he does, but he's funny, chill, and a good teacher. just wait till the first day of poetry. go stoned that day
EIDSON ROCKS! I've taken him twice and he is my fav. professor. He makes learning about classical literature fun and easy. He grades each student based on their own abilities and not with high expectations. Read the material - he will explain it clearly. Don't make the quizzes and tests harder than they have to be. Shorter, clear answers are fine.
One statement.......He is the Bomb!!!!! Need I say more?
As he said at the beginning, be courteous and you get A!
He is the best Literature Instructor in GPC. He grades the papers really good. The second part of the book is poetry and is fairly hard. If you take a good notes in his class, you can easily make A in all his qizzess. You are gonna love this class. It is highly recommanded.
I took him for British Literature and he was great. You have to attend class everyday and read read read. The material itself is a bore but if you take good notes will do well.
Great teacher. If you listen in class, and take good notes, you should get an A. You have papers, but he will help you with them. I loved taking this class. Lots of humor in his teaching style.
Awesome teacher! He is so helpful with everything and really wants his students to do well. I made an A simply just studying for tests and coming to class everyday. If you do the work and make an effort he notices and I don't think he would fail anyone....highly recommended!!!
very inspiring and interesting teacher. All u need to do is read, at least smth and listen to lectures. If u review additional analysis for prose & poems an A+ guaranteed. I easily recommend this class for international students.
I took him for 1102. GREAT teacher, smart and fun. GO to class and take notes and you will pass. Simple as that, don't go and miss the notes and fail. ALL tests come from notes. ALL! Midterm and Final are HARD but if good notes were taken you will be fine. In my opinion, BEST teacher at GA Perimeter. Easy to talk too and cares about students! A+
I really like him. Very easy to talk to. Lecture sounds like a church service, but very very good. Run to take this guy.
The best professor, easy and makes his classes interesting. Easy quizzes. I took 3 of his classes and now love English. Easy A!!! Anyone who rates him lover must be a total idiot.
I took English 1102H with this professor and he was great. Some classes were so interesting that I didn't want to leave even after the class ended. This teacher makes a boring class very interesting.
"Many critics argue..." "I want you to think about this..." Excellent teacher, deals with the material in a very direct and efficient way, really nice guy. Lots of quizzes, but only 1 paper, long midterm and final, but generally pretty straightforward. Really cares that the students understand the material. Would take him again in a heartbeat.
Great, great teacher. I thought that this class would be very hard but to my surprise it went very well. At times it got hard but if you take notes and study you won't have any problems. There was a load of work on the midterm and final (5 pages) but they were alll straight to the point. I totally recommend anyone to take him. Wonderful teacher!!!!
Mr. Eidson is a very good teacher. He wants you to just call him "Hank." I really didn't think the class would be good but it was! I got an "A" out of the class. All of the quizzes are easy. All you have to do is study! If you fail it is your own fault. Truly a good teacher.
He's the best literature professor you'll ever have. His quizzes and exams are really easy. They come directly from what he says in class. He's got a great sense of humor. He lets you revise your papers for a new grade. He really wants his students to do well. You won't regret taking his class! Easy A+.
Really cool teacher. wanted to take him again next semester but his classes were full. Lectures are easy and fun to listen to. Eidson is the man.
His test are a little tough only because you have to memorize a lot. But this guy is really nice and really there to help his students. He has a great sense of humor so definately take him he is probably the best.
Hank is awesome! Probably one of the best English teachers I've had, and I hate English classes! He's very easy going and funny, but you also learn while you're in his class. I definitely recommend him!
Eidson is a really great guy! He's very willing to help all of his students and is so nice. Take good notes and write all the terms he has on the board, they'll come in handy for quizzes, midterm and final. I really looked forward to going to class everyday because he made the material interesting and thoroughly helped me understand each text. =)
Hank is a fantastic English teacher! He truly cares about his students and wants to see them succeed. Study hard, be courteous, and you will get an A :)
Hank is a wonderful teacher. He has a passion for what he teaches, and it shows. Hank truly cares about the students, and will help you to succeed. Be aware though - his midterm is very intensive and it is NOT multiple choice!
Great teacher. Makes sure each student understands what is required in each essay, and how to properly use each technique learned. Very funny guy, and also very lenient.
HE IS THE BEST ENGLISH TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD.I HIGHLY RECCOMEND HIM.
He is the best English teacher.I liked the way he lectured the stories and essays. He is very entertaining and captivating.I hope I can take him again for World literature.
Professor Eidson is amazing. I love him. He loves teaching and such a passion for it. He has a little problem returning emails though. His midterm and final are very hard and long. No multiple tests ever. A lot of papers and quizzes. But easy grader. Takes a while to get tests back, but he is still amazing and a sweetheart.Take him.
He will tell you everything you need to know for his quizzes&test.Test are extremely long and can be hard if you don't study because they are not multiple choice.He is an easy grader but takes super long to give back grades.Overall he is great teacher and a must take for engl 1102.
i like him very much. he is such a good professor n really care for his students. His quizzes n tests are really long, so make sure u have to study. I highly recommend him :)
He is a very good professor. He grades fairly and let you make up quizzes if you happen to miss them. He is willing to listen to students and he is very enthusiastic. I usually don't like English classes, but he actually makes it pretty entertaining
I had Prof. Eidson for British Lit summer semester. You have to hear him read Beowulf with his cute southern drawl ;) He's hilarious. You may get hand cramps from writing so much on his quizzes/exams, but he explains everything in detail and parallels certain themes in the various works read in class to modern day societal problems.
THE BEST OF THE BEST IN THE BEST OF THE BEST OUT OF ALL OF THE BEST ! PERIOD !
He's amazing! take him if you know what's good for you.
I hope you read this Professor becuase you need to hear everyday that you are the BEST educator I have ever had! Thank you so much! Please don't ever change your teaching style, you are an example for many educators. Guys, this rating does not mean he is easy, you MUST study to pass, not an A for granted, you gotta work hard with him.Hank: Thank u!
The most amazing prof of english ever! I loved his class, he made it so hillarious! He is trying to pass everyone. Easy A, but need to study
The best english prof ever!!!! I loved taking his class this summer. He made a class I hate being in very interesting. He is very helpful and understanding.
amazing! dont give up the opportunity to take his class!
BAD-Our class did not receive grades back on time due to his stress level this semester. GOOD-Hank is an excellent professor.Classes are casual, and discussion based.He makes short stories you read very interesting.His tests and quizzes are, albeit, lengthy but thorough and simple.Final is the easiest grade.Highly recommendable.
A really awesome guy... but kind of a lazy teacher. Our class got zero grades back from him throughout the semester. However, I did get an A so i cant hate him that much. His classes are awesome and I do love the way he looks at literature and the way he allowed us to have our own opinions.
Very good teacher. He pretty much tells you what he puts on the tests, and he grades lieniently. He's a good guy and a great teacher. Highly recommend. Just show up and you will pass.
He's a GREAT teacher! His discussions can be a little boring BUT they are very informative. His quizzes and tests are VERY long but he doesn't grade harshly. He gives a lot of feedback on papers although he takes forever to grade. He's an overall GREAT professor. I recommend 100%
TAKE HIM and you will not regret it. He's a great professor AND a great person. Yes, he takes long to grade, we all have lives! Yes, the midterm & final are long, but EASY! Plus, he reviews and lets you know EXACTLY what's going to be in it. You showing up (no more than 3 absences) + paying attention + participating = YOUR GOOD GRADE. Show you care
He is by far the best english professor at GPC. Wish I took 1101 with him too, instead of Andy R. Way better at explaining what the material covered is about, and at grading papers. Great sense of humor! Don't hesitate to take him! THANKS MR.EIDSON!!!!
great guy and wonderful prof. eager to help and answer any questions w/e being condescending. would love to have again next semester. takes a while to grade but not a big deal to me. tests are a little long but not impossible. loves to hear your opinions, but if he emphasizes something - you better remember it because it will def be on the tests
Great professor! 2 papers, 1 midterm, 1 final, and quizzes throughout the semester about the material covered (he never quizzes on anything he hasn't gone over) Reads in class, and explains everything that needs explanation. The study guides to the midterm and final are the "tickets" to a great grade (If you STUDY). Show up. Be respectful.
He's an amazing teacher! Explains perfectly and makes you think. Tells you exactly what you need to know. His study guides and study guides are really long but they are exactly what he tells you. Study everything he tells you and you'll get an A. 1 essay, 1 mini research paper, 1 full research paper, midterm, final and few quizzes.
Believe me he is the only english professor who grades your paper reasonably. He will take answers from every point of view. Notes are very clear and straight to the point.Tests are long, but they are doable. Do not miss the opportunity to take this class.
SERIOUSLY THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER! IF HE COULD TEACH ALL COURSES OR IF ALL PROFESSORS WERE LIKE HIM, THE WORLD WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE, AT LEAST IN ACADEMIA.
MOST KIND AND REASONABLE PROF I'VE EVER HAD!! WORK IS STRAIGHT FORWARD AND QUIZZES ARE MIRRORS OF CLASS DISCUSSIONS. AS LONG AS YOU ARE ATTENTIVE, YOU'LL ACE THIS CLASS!
The best English Professor at GPC!!!!! He is very very helpful and his teaching technique is amazing. Thanks for being an outstanding teacher
He is THE BEST english professor at GPC!!!
Very laid back- I took him spring 2014 and now I am taking his class again spring 2015. Seriously- take this class I promise
Best English Teacher. English is not my 1st language so having Mr Eidson as a teacher saved my life. He es very clear and passionate about English. Best class ever I actually enjoyed it !!
He is just the best prof. He is more than happy to give you an A if you just do all of your works. No need for books. He curves like a lot. He just simply a great prof. He is hilarious and respect you. I strongly recommend him.
Hands down, he's the BEST professor EVER!!! A MUST TAKE!!
Hank Eidson is an incredible professor! He wants his students to pass and he truly shows that. He will work with you and let you submit papers late, and he grades easily. Lots of extra credit. His midterms are based on what is covered in class, so be sure to take notes! Definitely the best ENGL professor at GPC and I would recommend anyone take him
One of the best professor i have ever taken for ENGL. Hilarious and he can crack some nice jokes. You will love him and He is easy on grades and will do anything to help you through out the class. Taking him again For British Lit.
The papers that are assigned are not terribly long, but he will nit-pick papers (which is not a bad thing, my writing has improved because of this class). Hank is hilarious and straightforward - he will say what he wants to without hesitation which is something that I like about this class. Would definitely recommend.
He messed up my grade toward the end of the semester. I was like a point away from an A and he told me that there is no possible way I can get an A in the class. When I emailed him immediately after the final exam he told me he was out of town and could not reply to emails. He was kinda rude. I took him summer 14 and unfortunately got a B.
One of my favorite teachers and I still talk to him. He will give you credit on tests if you try or if he thinks its funny. Multiple extra credit options. In class he mostly reviewed the reading, so if you understood you didn't have to come, but if you do he covers everything you'd need to know. He constantly says he wants you to pass, nice teacher
I took professor Eidson for both ENGL 1002, and British Lit. You can tell that he cares about the students as much as he enjoys teaching the material. He makes class interesting with his awesome humor! He prepares you for every test and quiz, and he kept saying how he wanted everyone to have an A at the end of the semester. Highly recommended!
Too many things to do 4 research papers. Too many questions on the tests. I couldn't finish on time. He explains clearly and you should listen carefully, every sentence appears in the tests. Very nice and open-minded person.
I took Professor Eidson for English 1102H and it was a fairly easy. He really does care for his students and goes out his way to help you not just succeed but to become a better writer too. There are a lot of papers to write but it is a college course and it will be difficult but treat him with respect and everything will be fine. Recommend Him!
Best teacher ever! Easy A if you go to class and try. He goes out of his way to help you!
Professor Hank is an interesting teacher. He gives a lot of examples referencing himself and he makes sure that he tries to carry everyone along. He works with you regarding tests and exams and he gives enough time before papers are due. He is more concerned about the information that students' are receiving than their grades.
Easiest A's I have had. I have had him as a professor for 4 semesters already. He is Quality over Quantity when it come to his class. Example if 5 books are assigned for the class he may only get to 3. Lectures are easy to follow, whatever he writes on the board is important. He is in your corner, he will help you as much as he can. I RECOMMEND HIM
The best teacher I have ever had! He will definitely teach you the best of his knowledge. P/S: he never wants to fail anyone, so if you do your homework you will get an A easy.
Great professor makes difficult stories to read easy. Genuinely, genuinely cares about his students learning and making a great grade. Great professor, couldn't imagine Literature without him.
Outstanding professor. His lectures are amazing, the books he assigns aren't boring, and he CARES. He even offered to come back to campus to meet with students on his own time. One of the best professors I've ever had.
"Well, the IDEA is" get ready to hear that alot, other than that he is a very good professor, He is without a doubt the easiest professor in terms of grading i've ever had. As long as you read the books which were (Frankenstein, Persuasion, and dr. jekkl) you will pass easily, i'd even go as far to say you could watch the movies and still get an A.
This class was fun at first, but then passed midpoint and still hadn't done any work. He is caring, but he lectures for the entire class about material that we had already covered the last class. He took half a semester to grade a diagnostic essay from the second day of class; it wasn't even for a letter grade. Waste of time, wouldn't reccommend :(
I was shocked when I saw the bad reviews Mr. Eidson got. I think he is one of the best teachers I had in college so far. He always tries to help students and does whatever he can to help students get a good grade. His lectures can be boring sometimes, but they do cover stuff for tests and papers. And I enjoy listening to his southern voice.
I have really enjoyed Mr. Hank's class. He worked closely with me to help me pull up my grade because I had a hard time with grammar as a foreign student and I know he cares about my work. I wish his test were not so long but they are still easy if you study the study sheets he gives you before the tests. I think you should take him.
This class is easy, and he is a nicw Professor. He sometimes cancel class due to his migraines and etc.. Edison will help curve your grade, and it isnt hard to pass. There are a couple essays you have to write... but the thing is.. Ive never received them back. Therefore, I never knew what I should work on when writing. Its an Easy A tho
This guy is good his class is straight forward he knows what he's talking about and his assignments are fairly simple. He's really nice. If you're looking for a challenge this would not be it. In this class, you read the text and talk about it in class together and his test or final is exactly like the study guide. Barely any homework a few essays
Professor Eidson gives decent lectures, if he shows up to class. Over the course of the semester, he was absent 5 times, sometimes with only an hour's notice online. He did not put in any grades throughout the semester which made it difficult to know where you stood in his class. He also gave difficult exams. Would not take again!
Great and engaging professor. Every class involved fun and stimulating class participation. The homework load was light, and what was given was usually simple and straightforward. If you want a class that's focused on learning and engaging, Professor Hank's class is perfect.
