Now that I've always enjoyed writing, I think this is one of the best courses to enroll in. Don't be afraid to enroll in this course if you aren't a natural writer.

If you are looking for a professor that tries and cares for his students, you probably won't see many who do that as much as Professor Kay. As long as you try, you should get a high grade, but it will be a decent workload. He is very helpful with the creative thinking process of writing. Taking this course outside of summer is probably much easier.

Best English professor I have had! Only 1 big research paper (8-10 pages) for 1102 that he takes you step by step to understand how to write it. Super clear in explaining and responds to questions quickly. You need to put in the work but it's generally an easy A. Honestly having fun being able to write about whatever I like.

Every assignment was fairly easy to understand and complete, while still allowing me to learn something new. This class introduced me to my first proper research essay and most assignments leading up to the actual paper helped me understand the different parts of each essay. We only write one full essay the whole semester. He is amazing!

If you're a procrastinator, this course might not be for you because you can turn in late work a week before the semester ends, which means you'll wait until the very end to complete an entire semester's worth of work in a short period of time. But if you need a little more time in the semester and know you can catch up and stay on track, take it.

Professor Ian is AWESOME! Ive taken many classes and for sure he is the best professor I will take in my life. Hes very clear with instructions, actually makes the work fun, allows you to turn in late work no penalty (but try to stay on top of it). Big assignment is a 10-20 page essay but you are working on it throughout the semester so dont worry.

Mr. Kay was an amazing teacher, always ready to teach, very sweet, caring, and attentive. Clear communication, understanding, and open to talk. Class was a lot of writing, but Mr. Kay chose good topics that were even fun to write about. Overall, amazing class would take it again with Mr. Kay.

He reminds me of Phil Dunphy from Modern Family, but he's very kind and will help if you need it. A lot of writing, but he makes sure to check up on you and ensures you're caught up. There's only one late work deadline, and he's extremely chill. Honestly, one of the better professors I've had.

He really is the best. It's only like one assignment (usually not a very big one) a week, and he has an open late work policy so you can turn things in on your own time for full credit. He also only requires you to show up once a week for your attendance grade(11%).

Truly one of the best teachers I've ever had. If you get the chance to take one of his classes absolutely do so, his ratings are no fluke. He genuinely wants you to learn AND have a good time doing so. You would literally have to put in no effort to fail his class.

I prepared myself for the utter worst honestly, not because of any bad reviews but because this was my first creative writing class in college and had no expectations. Happy to say, I had an amazing time in the class. Good lectures, structured class, great and safe atmosphere created, all by a professor who you can tell has a passion.

Participation matters

Professor Kay's Comp I class is single-handedly one of the easiest English courses I've ever taken. He's amazing at explaining concepts about essay writing in a way that's easy to understand. The assignments are always very engaging and allow you to write about your own interests. Attendance is also only mandatory once per week!

He's very understanding if u need help don't be afraid to ask because he'll take the time to break down the material for you to understand it in your own way also he allows you to submit work late and still get full credit.

Professor Kay was a very personable, witty and insightful instructor, and I can't recommend him enough! Class featured an open discussion in which he genuinely cared about student opinion. Always open to feedback, and gives great feedback as well. Simple and enjoyable assignments centered around reviewing and/or creating film.
