my english is not good and I got a B in the class. I could have gotten an easy A, but my last project which was a book report, I did not finish it and there were 2 pages short,so I lost bunch of points. he grades the papers very easily and few homework. easy midterm and final. He gives you bunch of words to learn and ask you on midterm and final.
Fun teacher, gives lots of breaks, and very flexible
hes cool wish he taught every other class!!!!
GREAT TEACHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great Professor, the best I have ever taken. Main reason, I actually learned. Great style of teaching, incorporates students in all discussions. Like the comment posted below, I wish he taught every other class. Excellent professor.
Favorite teacher so far. Awesome teaching techniques. Fun class. Overall great experience, I would take another class of his in a heartbeat.
loved his teaching methods. super fun teacher!!!learned a lot =)
I liked him because he followed his syllabus very well, no surprises. All points and how to earn them are clearly stated. Work hard and don't slack off and you will pass. Professor Greenberg is very approachable and an overall nice guy. Class discussions are very interesting. He does give a good amount of of work, but none of it is impossible.
Good professor to take for English 1C. His syllabus seems intimidating at first but he follows it to the letter and explains everything very clearly. He is approachable and friendly and is a big baseball fan. The work he gives may be on the heavy side but as long as you follow the handouts and read the book, most of the assignments and essays are p
Prof Greenberg is awesome!. The work load is heavy but he appreciates the hard work students put into his assignments. His class is fun, and the discussions are very interesting. He likes alot of participation in class discussion and will call you out if you are one of the quieter students. I'm finishing up the semester with him now. He's great!
Prof Greenberg is a really good profesor. He has high expectations at Eng 1c. So dont come to this class expecting to get an easy A. theres alot work to do. he grades hard. he teaches great, very understandable, and will always explain even if you need to refresh your mind. overall he is a professor you should take if your a serious student.
I can't believe this guy is still employed by MtSac as adjunct.A total and complete liability. Terrible instructor. Do not take him.
Why would anyone complain about him? Funny and approachable, very clear and helpful, class is NEVER boring! Just do the work and put some effort in it. By far the best professor I've ever came across! I wish he taught every class I need to take.
Scary at first, very engaging class. kinda fun to be in the class, time went by kinda quick. UNFORTUNATELY, crazy on grading and stuff, got a C in the class, totally killed my gpa. id suggest if you reallyreallyreally wana learn, but if youre looking for a easy A or something to boost your grades, this isnt the class for you.
I really recommend this professor, i have never been a good writer, but for the first a teacher really taught me the fundaments of writing. Don not get me wrong he is really hard and at times wanted to pull my hair out from all of the stress because he is so particular on what he want. He is super fast at emailing students back
He is a very hard grader but I suggest taking his class. He makes sure you understad each assignment he assigns. He goes over everything he expects of you. He expects hard work out of his students, but taking his class has definitely made me a better writer. I would definitely recommend taking his class if you are looking to improve your skills.
This professor does his job perfectly. If you worked hard throughout the semester, u will become a better writer and have a nice grade. However, he is strict grader. You must proofread all assignments several time to remove errors. Not an easy A class. It's not easy even to have B in class. Many people get D and F.
You have to work for your grade or you will fail
He was a good teacher overall who explains everything before starting an assignment and gives examples. the good thing about his class was that he uses his own book to teach, so whenever you have a question, you can just look in the book. It was not an easy class, but you will really learn a lot from him! you can email him if you have a question.
Over all he is a good teacher! you can learn a lot from his class. It was very scary at first, but very interesting i found out later. I worked hard in his class and finally got an A. I highly recomend you to take his class if you really wanna learn. He is a great teacher!
really great teacher. he is hard but if you are the type of student who is determined and focused, you should get an A. Essay format is extremely critical in this class.He is a really good teacher and I highly recomend but i do not recomend him for a lazy student, you will fail!!!!!!
One of the best teacher around. He really cares about what he is teaching and I learned so much in his class. His work are not hard but they are very critical to your grade.
Hands down the best English teacher I've ever had. He is extremely helpful and his lectures are always entertaining. The class definitely isn't an easy A, but with hard work, it is certainly possible.
My favorite teacher bar none. Let me start off with by saying it is not an easy A. You work for your grade. He is an amazing teacher though and pushes the best you can be. He is very clear about what he wants. Very insightful. You definitely need the text book and DO NOT MISS CLASS!!! He is amazing!
He's a great professor. You really learn your strengths and weaknesses in writing. It's not an easy A, you really have to work hard for it but if you need help, he's always willing to answer your questions. Books definitely play a big part, so use them. The presentation project is quite easy, just make sure you read the book.
Greenberg is the best English professor! The first day when he read the syllabus, it was kind of intimidating. Don't let that scare you away! The assignments turned out to be pretty easy and he makes every topic discussed really interesting. Time flies in his class!
Great teacher! Just follow the directions and its an easy A. Grading gets progressively harder but it makes you better writer and proofreader. Would recommend to anyone
Best English teacher I have ever had period! He really pushes you, but take on the challenge and you will learn more than you would ever expect. You will learn things in his class that you can take on into other classes. Class started with 34 students, and ended with 30. Let those numbers speak for themselves. You will not regret taking his class!
Class is not hard if you do all the works.He grades fair b/c he actually reads your works. Attend 3 workshops & do activities in class, those points are easy to get. His essay topics required a lot of brainstorms and researches. He knows if you plagiarize. If you want to learn to write better, I recommended this professor.
AMAZING professor. Loved attending each class and every class matters! Every day is important. Philosophy major but amazing English teacher. Love his lectures and even though it was a 3 hour class, time flew by. No complaints for Greenberg. Just compliments. He has influenced me to pursue a major in philosophy. Best English teacher I've had so far.
Amazing professor! Somewhat stressful, but you learn to be a better writer along the way! One of the most challenging classes I've taken for six weeks! Humorous, approachable, and understanding professor!
He is very helpful and interesting. If you have question just ask him, he will help you. If you follow his instruction?then you will get "A". extra credit is allowed in his class.
I am so glad I took Greenberg for ENGL 1C. My words of advice: EXPECT WORK--LOTS OF IT. But if you do the work, you will get the grade--I am proof. Take the class seriously and it will pay off. I took the course over a 6 wk summer session and still managed. He is easy to contact by email and gives some extra credit--so make use of these things!
I took professor Greenberg's class at SAC Spring of 2013 and it was hands down the best English class I've ever been in. We wrote many essays but don't let that scare you. He will help you grow and prepare you for any other writing assignment. I took ENG 102 with another teacher the following semester and it was cake after learning from Greenberg
I took Greenberg for English 1B Fast track, this class is a lot of work so get ready to buckle down. There is a paper or assignment do every time class meets. Makes you work for your grade, you need to put in effort in the papers to get a good grade,Only 1 test and the final.
Took his classes at Chaffey College both 1A and 1B fast track, and it was alot to do. He expects things to be done a certain way, and wants clarity. I would take him again if I needed to, and I learned alot in his class when it comes to writting papers.
I took him for English 101 at SCC, and it was awesome! I used to hate writing essays, but after taking his class, he makes it look simple and clear. With his unique rules of writing, I can comfortably write any kind of essays953, long and short, without being worried like before. Just follow closely to his directions, and you will get high grade.
Don't skip class. Don't be tardy. Turn in all assignments on time. Keep up on his grading scale. One bad test or assignment can greatly affect your grade. Stay after class to to discuss assignments if necessary.
This is exactly the professor you want. Everything was organized so well. Lectures were great, he made it fun, and I learned a lot from him. Class is tough but do the work and no matter what you'll pass because you will know the material. I defiantly recommend to everyone. He is very helpful and the best academic teacher I have ever had.
Best English professor/ teacher I have ever had. He made writing papers very easy. Lot of work to do but it will benefit you and it will help you in the long run.
if you want to become a better writer, take this professor. Very helpful and interesting lecture. Class is not easy,but if you take effort to do the works, read the book, and follow his instruction then you'll be fine or I could say, you'll be a much better writer. He only accepts paper by the time class starts. Overall, very good professor.
Amazing professor and very helpful. It is definitely possible to get an A in this class as long as you complete all of the assignments and get any help you can on essays. Planning on taking Greenberg for ENGL 1A and 1C as well.
Great professor really takes the time to help you understand whats
The best professor I have had by far in my time in school, but do not base your decision to take this course on the ratings or bad reviews because Greenburg does not just give out As you need to earn them so expect to actually learn in this class. overall a very intelligent person and good at what he does and makes me never want to skip class!
As always, amazing professor. I have taken him twice for 68 and 1A and he is by far my favorite professor. He is so helpful and wanting to be there, teaching. He has gone above and beyond helping me not only in class but for extra curricular such as being a reference for work and by writing a letter of recommendation for me. Take Greenberg!
Amazing teacher. Gives a lot of work but its all for your benefit so dont be lazy. He does not make you write boring essays they are all interesting and need creativity. He gives you a structure on how he wants his essays which helps a lot because you dont go into an essay not knowing how he wants it or how you can get an A.
Prof Greenberg is awesome! He is strict on grading papers and MLA but he is such a smart guy! I took him for 1CH during summer and it was really condensed but i learned a lot. He offers enough extra credit to boost your grade up to 4% and he will help with anything you may struggle with. Anyone who really wants to learn should take him!
Professor Greenberg was the best teacher i have had at mt sac. i took him for 1A and 1C. His critical thinking class is the best class i have take and it is truly life changing. Yes, he does gives a lot of work but it is fun and the essays that you do are not boring. All his papers are explained. You will learn so much in any of his classes.
Prof. Greenberg is by far one of my favorite teachers! He has a great sense of humor, which keeps the class light & interesting. He gives assignments every meeting & has high expectations which is very effective bc I have noticed my improvement in my writing. He offers extra credit, which is a + .Taking him in 1C. TAKE HIM YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!
I've taken all of the Gen Ed classes, and Professor Greenberg was one of the most rewarding. He has tough assignments, if only because he asks for original thought. A lot of the exercises we did were uncomfortable mentally because it challenges your usual ways of thinking, but... I'm grateful for my experience with Greenberg.
Prepares you to write good essays. Essay topics are interesting. Class is by no means easy; you definitely have to work for your grade. Very available to review roughdrafts. In fact, he will be angry if you don't let him read your drafts lol. A truly excellent professor. Will meet halfway with any student that wants to do well. Will def take him 1C
Greenberg was perfect for critical thinking. He is extremely knowledgeable in the material he teaches. He makes the essays creative and not bland. I am glad I got him for a summer session honors class. He was fair and offered plenty of extra credit. This class is made simple and enjoyable by him, as opposed to other professors.
He is an awesome professor, the activities in class are fun and the papers are interesting . He is passionate about his job and cares for his students to succeed. Your writing will improve if you decide to take his course. Take his advice when he recommends you to start an assignment right away.
Professor Greenberg is an awesome professor. You can tell he really loves his job and puts in a ton of effort. This class is far from easy but it's very rewarding. He really makes you think outside of the box. He's great with replying to emails and very easy to talk to in his office hours. He's strict with MLA but it's for your benefit. Great dude.
One of the most challenging English classes, but well prepared me for Eng 1A. He has a great personality keeps the class casual and comfortable. He does not test you material unless he goes over it. Prof. Greenberg really sets you up for success. Taking him for English 1C, so should you !!
The bad first: Lots of writing, lots of thinking, very critical grader (MLA), attendance and participation required Now the good: amazing feedback, always willing to help students, very interesting lectures, a lot of pride and knowledge in his career, very honest Greenberg outlines paper and act. pack for you. All you have to do is stay on task.
He is an easy grader if you follow all MLA formats and explain the arguments in super detail. However, he gave us too too too too too many works to do, including 11 papers, a 9paragraphs essay, observations for every chapter (around 7-8 chapters in a semester), and 4 books to read... I became a writing robot in the semester. It's a tough class!!!
Professor Greenberg was amazing! He honestly made me be able to build my works cited without needed a generator! He was a really great person in general as well. He is really precise when it comes to MLA, hence why I was able to build my works cited without using a generator, but it really pays off in the end. Take professor Greenberg, I recommend!
Prof Greenberg is an amazing Prof to learn Critical Thinking and Writing from. His MLA format guide on works cited breaks down each component making it easier to understand. enjoyed the class so much, I wish I would have taken the class during a regular semester. Do your academic writing skills a favor and take Pro Greenbergs class.
Professor Greenberg assigns only one essay. He has his students learn from writing papers about their readings done in class/home. Even though his grading is very tough, he gives great feedback for the students to go back and fix. Do not fall behind, and get all papers done as soon as possible. He is a very nice guy, and easy to talk to. Whoopboom!
Best English teacher ever! You have to put in the work, but it is worth it. I actually learned in the class. Make sure you know your MLA and ask him questions. He is very clear and helpful. Get the books and start reading. Do not fall behind; there is something due every class meeting. You do in-class work as well as homework. Highly recommend!
I loved this class! There were a lot of papers to write and tons of reading but his lectures and my participation in class made it effortless. He gives honest and real feedback. Greenberg teaches and lives by MLA format. This class made papers for other classes so easy.
Professor Greenberg is very observant to any errors in formatting and wording, so really make sure to check if everything is correctly formatted and worked correctly. I took his online class and any time I was frustrated with something and would reach out to him and he would be helpful and understanding of any issues and help in any way he can.
I think he is a fine professor, but you have to work for your grade to earn a solid A. he is really tough grader and can even fail you if you just want to pass this class. I think I would get better grade if I did not have messed his MLA format which he is very strict on. Overall, good professor. you will learn a lot in his class.
Okay, this class was literally a living hell, but you really do learn a lot. Buy your book for the last essay as soon as he gives you the list. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE! You do not have time to slack off in this class. It is not an easy A, Greenberg really makes you work for your grade and he is great at what he does! 10/10 highly recommend.
Professor Greenburg is a great professor, he gives you your graded paper the next class meeting unlike other professors that take a whole month to return a graded paper. Also, I learned many ways to critical think and I got better at writing my papers thanks to professor Greenberg! Please take him!
I took this class for Fall of 2018. He has you read a chapter then write questions on it. Do know MLA format. 1 essay, but lots of assignments to prep for that essay. You are going to write a lot. Don't procrastinate on writing unless you're good at it. Page count matters.
A very organized professor. Gives very interesting lectures and is very friendly. Just make good effort into following his essay criteria and you'll pass his class.
Greenberg is hands down the best professor I've ever had. He really cares about each student and puts in a lot of effort to make his class fun. I feel I've learned way more from him than I have any other teacher. He wrote the textbook so you know exactly what he wants to see. If you get the chance TAKE HIM.
I'm so glad I took him for my first semester. His ENG1A is what's getting me through college. Classes that require LONG term papers with citations are nothing to me. HAH! Classes that require me to express myself or give my opinion in essays are sure getting it! I feel so confident when I write because of this prof. Take him He's hard but worth it!
It is an easy A if you follow the formats and instructions. Make sure you always use MLA, he will teach you it, anyways he gave me an extension on a paper once because I was busy with work so always communicate if you can't turn something in on time, if you do you shouldn't have a hard time getting an A, I passed with a 96% so you can too
Professor Greenberg is amazing. His class is themed and very well structured, He literally sets you up to succeed. He gives clear detailed instructions on exactly what he wants. Every 2 paper he assigns corresponds with the essays you will write. He is quick to respond and always willing to help. Cares about his students.
Greenberg is the best English teacher Ive had in my life. He is so clear about what he expects so you basically have no room for error. If you communicate with him, hell tell you what you need to get done. 4 seven-paragraph essays, 8 one-page papers, and an easy project. He likes cameras on during zoom and wants you to participate. TAKE HIM!
Incredible and intelligent professor! Very clear writing prompts and the whole class has a set theme, which I found helpful. Its a lot of work but it isnt all incredibly difficult and is actually helpful for essays. I dont fear writing college level papers anymore thanks to Greenberg! Bonus: GREAT dad jokes :)
The best professor I have ever taken. He is fair and knows how to explain things. Just take it.
He teaches everything you need to know. A lot of homework. He is a tough grader. No perfume allowed in his class. The topic is computer games. 3 Textbooks are very expensive which is over 100 dollars. He wrote 2 of the textbook. You will be a better writer! Great professor. I took the class 2020.
Professor Greenberg is the best English teacher I have ever had. He gives a good amount of work that is not very hard. He tells tells you exactly whats expected and helps you with anything you need. TAKE HIM!!!
I love this man, 10/10 class. At first I was scared to take this course because I heard it was difficult, but the professor is so kind, gives great feedback and lectures. I have a bit of social anxiety but the atmosphere is comfortable since he is really supportive and encouraging to everyone during discussion. I took the synchronous honors class
HIGHLY RECOMMEND. No doubt one of the best professors. However, there is in fact a lot of writing. Total of 12 papers and 1 research paper. MLA citation is very important in this class as well. He admitted that he sometimes sees these reviews so just know that you have made an impact on me and changed my perspective on life :)
One of the best professors ever. Students tend to run away from relatively difficult professors. The problem isn't in how difficult they are, but whether they give you the right tools to learn and understand their material. This professor understands what teaching is. He's not your typical Mt Sac professor. He will change your life for the better.
Best professor ever. Students tend to run away from relatively demanding professors. The problem isn't in how demanding they are, but whether they give you the right tools to learn and understand their material. This professor understands what teaching is. He's not your typical professor. He will change your life for the better. Trust me.
When Professor Greenberg tells you his class has changed lives, he is not kidding at all. Although the class might be a bit heavy on assignments, every single one felt relevant to what we learned and our class time was spent in discussions that were very insightful. Truly felt like this class made me a better thinker, and overall better person.
Excellent professor. Very challenging. There is a lot of work, but you will be a better writer by the end of it. He teaches skills applicable outside of class and is very approachable for feedback and assistance. Very kind and supportive as well. To succeed, do your work on time, follow directions on your papers, and you will be fine.
Great Professor. Gives good feedback on assignments. The assignments are typically a discussion with essays once a week if you take the 8 week course. Would recommend
great!
Great! get ready to read
Ok it isn't hard to get an A but please do not procrastinate. He assigns a paper every single week plus papers on in-class activities. There's this big book project which is worth a lot of points. I spent hours doing work for his class but that's because I was a really bad procrastinator. He takes MLA seriously so make sure u get the hang of it.
He was my prof in Spring 2023. He is a fantastic teacher that wants you to do well on writing papers. He gives you 11 papers, 3 activity packs (if u don't know what it is, you will later), 1 research paper & 1 final paper. it isn't easy to get an A but it was worth it. I got an A by following his orders. He does give EC later. WORK HARD to get an A
Never learned to say his first name
This class made me a better writer, but if you want an easy A, DONT TAKE THIS CLASS. If you want a challenging and life-changing course, I recommend it. I enjoyed the assignments. Sometimes I felt they were busy work. SAVE YOUR LATE PASS FOR THE BOOK ESSAY!! The prof. was awesome but I would never take this class again, it is a lot. Good luck!
Professor Greenberg's ASYNC class was digitally well-designed. Everything on Canvas was clearly outlined and easily accessible. Professor Greenberg was clear on his expectations regarding the assessment essays. The theme of my class was video games, so most of the assignments were in a way related to video games. I found this really fun!
Prof. Greenberg's class was the best class I've ever taken. I took his synchronous class and found his lectures to be very interesting. I got a C because I took on too many classes with this one, but his class is 100% manageable, just stay on top of assignments. Save your late pass for the final essay if you can! Best professor!
This man made me think about thinking. I think he genuinely has changed how my brain functions. There are a lot of papers but at times I did get excited writing them. It involves a lot of philosophy and ethical questions. I will say there were times where the class got boring but I think if you can it is worth your time
I took him for both English 1AH and 1CH and I strongly advise anyone to take him! He is very thorough with instructions and formatting and makes you learn a lot. Professor Greenberg is VERY organized which made the class very easy to navigate! On the other hand, beware that if you have not taken him for 1AH, it may be difficult to get an A in 1CH!
Greenberg made class enjoyable and manageable. The workload is intimidating at times, but he is understanding and willing to help. Greenberg teaches great methods and speaks from an interesting and mind-opening point of view. He wants his students to thrive and feel comfortable in their environment. It wasn't easy, but I learned so much!
Prof. Greenberg's class is challenging but rewarding. Lots of writing assignments, but engaging lectures and great feedback. Unstuck study was a big help for exam prep. Worth the effort for the skills gained.
Great Professor, zoom meetings are not required but honestly attend to get questions out the way and has answers in the zoom . Lots of paper,essays , and reflections but it was a 6week course. Overall, he wants his students to pass and understand what he teaches! Had a better understanding of my papers !!
By far one of the most valuable classes I've ever taken and it wouldn't have been the same without Professor Greenberg. Can ask for feedback on any assignment, clear class setup, amazing material to learn on. Participate and care about what the lessons are about because they do actually matter. Take this class and take Professor Greenberg, loved it
Lots of assignments but is and amazing professor. He cares a lot about students and make sure they succeed
Quite literally the best class I've ever taken. The content (and understanding of the content) is life-changing. So many papers (1 a week), BUT TRUST ME...challenge yourself. You will LOVE IT and be sad when it's all over! I am carrying every writing and critical thinking skill Prof. Greenburg has taught with me for the rest of my life. So valuable
