expects alot but you learn from this class.

Willing to review progress before assgnmnts due to make sure you're getting it.

Seems like a tough teacher at first.Turns out he's a real softie & very helpful

heard he's great from my friend, i don't need him i'm 120 styling

This was during the summer and very tough, but I passed! Mr. Lusk is intersting, but the work is hard! A lot of reading!

He is hard at first-but you realize it IS for your own good. He is a great teacher!

If you don't want to actually think for yourself...then don't take him. Imagine the nerve of a teacher to actually EXPECT college students to have emotionally graduated from HS! He knows mythology completely; I found his lectures fascinating!

While entertaining us with his Sean Connery-esque demeiner, he proceeded to barrage us with some of the most difficult tests that I have ever taken... and they were take-home!

good teacher

Fabulous teacher, if you want to learn something. Very helpful if you ask for help

He has the most entrancing voice,it makes a night class fun.Took all 12 of our quizes home. On essays he gives a C for doing them,you can make it up.His class changed my whole perspective on life.Easy C, pretty easy B, kinda hard A.

Even though english is my second language, I love his class. He cares about the students. It is a lot of work, but at the end learning takes place. Excelent professor.

grades very difficult but he is a good teacher

eassy quizzes with open book. will learn grammar and get a good grade

Another class that has changed my life. I have moved on to SDSU, and I want to say that nearly every teacher here wants essays done the way Prof. Lusk does.

Good teach! Pro-student. Hard grader. Class hinges on final(do not have any fragments or run-ons). Will work with you on anything, and you can learn alot. Definitly recommended.

BEST teacher I've ever had!! He's extremely intelligent, REALLY knows his subject, very understanding and helpful, entertaining/witty, quizzes are takehome, no tests. Just don't use passive verbs on essays... very interesting lectures and humorous quizzes

Great Class, good teacher, however do not write in all caps, or he WILL give you a zero. That's the only disagreement I had with him. For the take home quizzes, look for patterns!

Tireless lecturer, knowledgable. Clearly unifies world myth. Injected wry humor. Listen to the lectures and pay attention to movies, to make sure you can get max points on take-home quizzes. Personable. Joseph Campbell & the Power of Myth rocks!

I'm taking his class now and he seems to be a great teacher. Although he smokes to much, he's still a damn good teacher and offers to meet you before class to help you. Always be sure to make an appointment!

Just the best teacher

Lusk is one of the best teachers I've ever had. The tests are easy and the class is interesting. Ok, the movies suck, Bill Moyers is the most annoying man ever, and the papers are HARD. GO TO THE WRITING CENTER, you'll need to. Mythology is a great class

Understanding and helpful.

Eng 101: makes class fun and interesting, always there to help with extra work and help if you aren't understanding the material.

He is a very good teacher.His classes are hard but he expects you to learn (duh).If your not very good at English(essays and such)I recommend not to take the summer course.A lot is crammed in, in a short amt of time.He is very helpful and he will help you till you understand.Great teacher.

Take his class if your an English major. He's perhaps the most respected English instructor at Grossmont College. He knows damn near everything. Be ready for a challenge.

Great, funny, extremely intelligent guy. Really loves what he is teaching -- if you do too, you will love the class. If not, he can be a bit hard to follow. Wants exactly what he wants out of essays, but you might as well get used to that. Will let you write optional assignments instead of essay

If you're interested in improving your English, this is the class. My advice to anyone who takes this class is to do your homework, study, ask questions and be there. He IS the most knowledgeable instructor.

Mythology course was extreamly fun and EASY. Covers what the book talks about and is very fair on the essays he gives. I take more out of his classes than just the class material. Extreamly GREAT teacher not to mention unique

I took the mythology class last semester. The quizzez can be hard so do them in groups and you'll have no problem there. The essays can be somewhat challenging as he likes it his way. I got an "A" in the class and he is lenient you get to redo essays but make sure you nail the sonnets if you decide to them. Overall great teacher for this class

He is a great teacher, though he expects written work to be done his way. Very fun, informative, and overall enjoyable class. I still find myself referencing the information learned a year later. Have to work for the A, but it's definitely worth it.

Honestly, I thought he was pretty easy. Just as long as you read the material. I liked his teaching style, although we'd get off topic often. The material was wonderful...a lot of short stories instead of one massive novel! Made it easy to keep up.

this guy gets a bad rap. . .the only reason y ppl fail his class is cause they dont TRY hard enough. quizzes are super simple and always have a pattern, and u get so many chances to rewrite ur papers before ur final grade its not funny. . the only down fall is that he dont like the verbs "is" and "are" in papers, but hey, nobody is perfect.

He is one of the best professors in Grossmont college!

I agree, he is an awesome teacher. I got a "C" in this class but, is the best c ever, worth an A of knowledge. great professor.

This class was not what I expected, but it was a good class. Mr. Lusk rambles through his lectures and sometimes it is hard to see where he is going with it. The book is so boring but his tests are based on the lecture. I find if you do the quiz right after lecture you will get an A, since it is not something you can look up later. GOOD TEACHER!!

Amen on the boring textbook, but Mr. Lusk himself as a teacher was pretty awesome. I think to do well in his class, the only thing you have to do is put forth a bit of effort & follow instructions. Piece of cake, really. :D

Mr. Lusk was great. Some of the videos wernt that great...but otherwise superb teacher. Listen to what he says, and you will com out feeling better in general. His essays are easy to graps, and the quiz are beyond simple. Easy, enjoyable, and educational...Who would have thought that could happen?

I had Prof. Lusk for Fantasy Sci-Fi Literature in the early 90's. Great teacher, fun class, but no cake walk. Remember, you are going to college to learn, and that requires actual effort! He is one of the few teachers unrelated to my chemistry degree that I remember well.

One of the best English teachers I have ever had. He gives you the textbook and he has broken down concepts of English so that anyone can understand them.

Mr Lusk is a very good teacher, he really wants you to ask questions and come to his office hours even if he doesnt say so. All his quizes have a pattern to them so as once as you figure out the pattern for each individual quiz you are good to go.

Mr. Lusk is a good teacher. At first it is real hard to understand him, but once you actually listen you begin to understand. He is very scarcastic at times but i find it funny. I like how he doesnt move on until everyone understands. He offers extra credit and learning becomes real easy if you go everyday and really try to learn.

Lusk taught my first college English class ever, and that first (abysmal) essay grade certainly shocked me. But his comments made me a much better writer. He's really tough, but ultimately very fair. I learned a ton from him, both in terms of writing and narrative history (mythology in this case). So I say if you have the moxie, then TAKE HIM!

He is a teacher who doesn't care what you have to say but why you say it. If you are able to actually pass his class, you will not only be a better writer but also a more savvy individual about both mythology and history. If you want to get ion good with him just like Shakespeare & Milton

he is such a helpful teacher but one problem is that he is a tough teacher. for a 2 hour class he tried to make it less dreadful by saying interesting facts and jokes about other people, funny about english yet it helps all the way. if you want an A dont take this class, but if you want to learn take him.

I took him last fall 2012 for my English 98, and my experienced with him as my professor was great. He is very knowledgeable. He seems like a walking dictionary as he knows everything about english world. He doesn't require us to buy book as he makes his own book for us to use the entire semester. I have extremely learned English because of him.

Lusk was the most inspiring writing coach I ever had...correction "cheerleader". That was my experience, yours may have differed.

Mr. Lusk delivers the ultimate amount of support needed to aid his students while also encouraging their self-development. He provides thought provoking lectures that use the English language to connect the scholars of yesterday to the students of today. He requires the student to put in the work. Nothing is given away here, its earned.

Great professor! Learned a lot. Just read the text, ace the very easy quizzes and write your papers.

I took him for English 103, it was back in the 80's, hard to remember. Liked him a lot

Mr. Lusk is a very passionate teacher. However, if you are not passionate about your schoolwork, there is no way you'll succeed in his class. Yes, he lectures long, but his lecture ties everything together if you pay attention. He's here to help you, but if you don't ask for it then it's your fault. He greatly appreciates participation.

To pass his class, you really have to work hard and study. He is a very helpful teacher and will help you out with anything whenever he can. This is a class you must attend every single class period. It was hard in my opinion, but if you are good at sentence structure and essays you will do great!

TAKE NOTES! He's hard to follow sometimes. He gives you all the opportunities to improve you have to take them. We ended the semester with 6 people showing up to the final. Tough grader, this is not an easy class.

I graduated from Grossmont College in 1998. To this day, Homer Lusk is one of only three professors that I remember. He was a great teacher and challenged me intellectually. I received the highest grade in the class, which was a B. I took him again for two more courses and received a B and finally that elusive Homer Lusk A. It was worth it.

Homer Lusk is retired and does not teach anymore I took his classes back in the 80s and 90s whereas I didn't do too well I did like his style and communication skills
