Their are many words that can explaine the dedication for professor Dole. He is very helping anytime with the course. He wants his students to reach their goals.
He is a really cool teacher and he's extremely nice, and his work is easy, but you have to make sure you have time because he makes you read like 15 pages a night!
Excellent professor if you are willing to complete all assignments and homework!.. Very helpful and fun! Highly recommended!
He is one of the most incredible professor I had ever met.He is GREAT at the work he does.He does a wonderful job,very flexible,willing to help students,be ready to do your assignments,read alot,and have a positive attitude.Attendance is must.

Excellent !!!!!
Awesome teacher! Very nice and thorough, he will help you, Would love to have him for another class, totally recommend...
He is a good teacher, very helpful and will be there when you need him. A lot of hw though, you have to do a presentation of the book your reading at the end of the semester, an easy class if you do your hw and pay attention in class. Recomend it.
He is a really cool teacher. Just do the work and you will pass.
He is a wonderful teacher!
He was extremely helpful and crystal clear in his class.
Took his class for DREAD 93. He did what he had to do and his teaching made me pass to College Level English. Easy class all you have to do is complete his classwork and his homework and you will pass with an A. Simple stuff but yeah you do have to do them.
Learned a lot from this class, if you get your homework done and attend class you would do good. Very satisfied.

GREAT TEACHER A++++ STRONGLY RECOMMEND!
He is super duper at teaching reading and make you comprehend the material and very helpful. I loved being in his class, not strict at all, but you need to do your home-works and what he tells you about assignments.

I just Love professor Dole,He teaches, you follow and make an A..awesome professor with awesome teaching styles...love you Professor Dole. You are too good and everyone's fav.
I was in his 091 & 093 combined lecture class Spring'11. Most teachers just read from teacher's manual, but he actually explains things in a way that's easy to understand. He is really flexible and by just following his instructions, before I even knew it my reading skills had really improved a lot. Just trust him if you want to succeed.
Best Professor ever....Simply loved taking class with him as I was able to comprehend material and pass my PTT exam......I love Professor Dole......
I love professor Dole because I passed my PTT exam 3rd time when I registered class with him.....simply awesome...no body would fail PTT..his classes go fast so don't wait the last min...summer time is quick and full..
Mr. Dole is a great teacher, he really tries for his students. If he sees something wrong, he will approach you and try to help you fix things. I was able to pass my PTT with flying colors.
Great person !!!
I really enjoyed developmental reading. Mr. Dole took reading to a whole other level. I was taught a method of deciphering what you read and make it fun. My teacher really challenges his students to make them the best they can be. Here's a shout out to the HOT TEACHER.
Mr. Dole was a great teacher and a wonderful person. He relates his material to his personal life which makes it easier to understand. After this course I was able to exit out of developmental reading. Thanks again Mr. Dole!!
Mr.Dole is a awesome teacher i would reccomend any student to take his class! He is very helpful and wants his students to succeed!
He's awesome(:
I took Develop Reading 0091 & 0093 in the spring and Summer 1 semester. His reading skills were very helpful to me I thought I wasn't going to do well in his class at all. The reading lab and work we did was very easy to understand. I recommend you take his class. Make sure you come to class because his class is fun. You will love this professor.
He is a great instructor,he wants his students to succeed. His class is designed for students to pass. The homework is reasonable, it won't take up a lot of your time.Show up for class, do your homework and you should have no problem passing.
I will highly recommend you take this professor for your classes. He has help me to develop skills that i thought i can never develop. I made an A in his class because he was devoted to make me learn the skills.He is the best
I recommend Professor Dole he not only concern about your learning but he is also concern about your health while you are learning .A something such as the assi responded instantly to me.If you are a student that is open to learn and to come to class with apen heart to learn than Professor Dole is the one .
He's the best teacher i ever had!!If you want to learn the subject then he is the one for you.
Mr.Dole is simply awesome. He is a ver good teacher. He is straight to the point and makes learning fun as well. I have him this fall semester and I've learned so much that I dont think I ever learned in high school or at least understood until now. I would HIGHLY reccomend him to anybody!!
Mr. Dloe is an excellent instructor. I recommend him to all students whom are not yet college level ready. He explains thing's very efficiently and his class is never boring
Funnest, Funniest, and most interesting Professor at NLC. I would recommend him for new any student. :D
I took Professor dole's class and it was great. He is a flexible and strict teacher that worries only on student success. I failed his class once but it was only because I was going a little rebel in my life, if someone fails its his own fault. Ivan Dole is a excellent instructor when it comes in reading and writing, also he is fun, I recommend it.
Ivan Dole is a gorgeous, flexible, excellent, fun and random dressed preferred cool instructor. He not only teach but he uses personal life to relate in what he teaches just to make a student to understand the concept of the main idea. I highly recommend him to anyone anytime!!!.
Professor Dole is by far the absolutely best instructor I have ever had. He was knowledgeable, caring, focused, comical, laid back, along with being serious with the business at hand of making sure all the students under his tutelage understood the lessons. We need more teachers like him. Take him if you can. You will learn. He wrote the text book!
He is one of the best Professor you could ask for. Take his class if you can. He will help you as long as you are doing your best.
THIS MAN RIGHT HERE IS AWESOME I MEAN ASLONG AS YOU DO YOUR WORK MAN YOUR GOOD TO PASS THE CLASS HE IS VERY BLUNT AND HE IS THE MAN TO GET YPU WHERE YOU NEED BE GLAD I HAD HIM

He is a great teacher! he is willing to help out with any thing. class lessons are very clear, also his assignments do help a lot. wouldn't mind having him again. best teacher I've had! make sure you do show up to classss, there is a class attendance grade..
He actually taught the class. I had to take the course again. First time my professor expected us to know everything and disn't really help. So I failed. But Mr. Ivan helped. Best Professor for a college freshman
picky grader
He's Seriously the best professor! When he grades your assignments or even your mid terms .. and you are not satisfied with your grade, he allows you to go back and fix it! He's Very helpful in everything! Highly Recommend him!!
What an inspirational teacher he was. I am very blessed that I got a teacher that was patient and very knowledgeable. His ability to teach us what we need to learn in 5 weeks was amazing. I would take more classes from him. I am looking forward to having him as a professor again. thank you for hiring a great man.
Great teacher!
Since this was my first time in college, I think things went pretty well in the class. If you come in and do what your suppose to do, like a job, then things will be OK. He exudes friendliness and helpfulness and seems to care about students in his class.
Prof Dole was very helpful. I passed my TSI reading retest after taking his class in Summer 1. Awesome instructor. I will definitely take him again.
He's alright, If you show that you care about the class he'll help you, if not then you're on your own.
Great professor
I enjoyed this class. Prof. Dole is very helpful, patient, and funny. He expects you to think and really put some thought into what you read and write. As for the procrastinators and slackers, it's English Composition, READING & WRITING is expected. Duh! Take his class,no regrets! We need more Professors like him, he's Awesome!
It wasn't an easy course but Ivan Dole makes it enjoyable. He is ready to help anytime! I took him for summer 2 and made an A. But you have to work for it. Yet, he is one of the best professors I've ever met. He cares a lot about his job and his students and teaches well. Would recommend him anytime. Wish I could take him for 1302.
Great professor. He Truly cares about his student. Took him In summer two and made an A.
He helps students in class. He makes time for each student in class. He is helpful with essays and helps you out if you have any questions or concerns. Gives you ideas on how to start your essay. I would highly recommend professor Dole. You will get a easy A.
Great professor! Recommend!
it was a pleasure attending a class with such a knowledge based teaching , Mr. Dole allowed us to be ourselves, but also gave us a lot more to think about.
He will help in any kind of way he can. He is very understanding. Absolutely recommend!
Prof. Dole is the best teacher one can get! I enjoyed being in his class. He understands his students very much and gives enough time to complete each assignments. Also, he's a fair grader. He helped me to become more confident in expressing myself with words and also in front of people. I would surely suggest everyone to take his classes!
Best teacher I've had s far, cares about his students education. I would deff recommend taking classes with him, you will be setting yourself up for success.- G.A
Available to call you if you need help, will go over instructions with you, will meet you outside of class to discuss projects/papers or grades, easy to talk to, understands the students perspective
Prof. Dole was definitely a great teacher to have. He helps his students and is a great motivator. English was never really my subject, but this class completely changed my perspective. I went from DIRW-0305 to ENG 1301 in just one semester! Anything is possible with hard work and a good teacher.
Best teacher I have ever had. At the beginning I was scared because English is not my first language (plus I had to go to work after classes and I was taking 4 more courses) but I got an A. He gives you tools and all that you have to do is use them. Be responsible. Go to class, read your novel, and do your assignments. That is all.
He is the absolute BEST English professor I have ever had! He is super helpful and explains things very well and clear. For those who say he is color phobic that is absolute not true at all. He loves to see each one of his student succeed and he is willing to help in any way possible. Best professor ever.
Mr. Dole is a great professor. I had him for my DIRW class and he was always helpful. I would always have questions and he would always answer. Didn't matter if emial or face to face. His lectures and examples are great and his class wasn't to hard. He gives you homework and expects you to be a good student. He is cool but don't take advantage.
Professor Dole is a very good professor. I recommend all taking Eng1301 take with him. He is always there to help. And also if you edit your essays he regrades it. So thats the best part of taking him. Very supportive professor.
He is the most biased grader , if you are international student run away from this uneducated professor. he purposefully fail you. I am A student, but due to his biasedness my GPA failed to 3.8
Professor Dole is the most amazing, smart, funny and caring person. He cares about his students. He is also always there to help when someone needs his help. It was a pleasure to be in his class.
Professor Dole is very chill and will give you the grade you most deserve. If you don't care about your grade, he won't either. He is always helpful as long as you ask him and is very funny also. I would take his class again!!
Ivan Dole was an excellent professor! He helped you with whatever questions you had and was very understanding. I recommend taking his class!
He is awsome, if you put the effort and time into this class you can pass. If you are lazy don't bother. He cares about his students, and takes the time to answer all you're questions. You just have to take the time to do the work. Bad comments left are from lazy people who don't want to do the work. BEST PROFESSOR I KNOW...
I was nervous about taking this class but the professor was extremely helpful. Participation is encouraged and you will do a lot of writing, but if you want to learn I would recommend you take this class with Mr. Dole because he will help you all the way through.
He is the best Professor I have ever had.
Great professor. I would recommend you take his class.
Took this class during Summer II and we had a paper to write each week, including midterm and final. Overall, the class was very tough, however, he's always willing to help. Gives great feedback and is very understandable. Responds back quickly & is was always willing to help out with whatever you needed. I would take this class again.
Prof. Dole is an amazing educator. I went into his class hating writing and expecting to skate by with the bare minimum requirements to pass. He shows so much passion for not only his work, but the success of his students. He's a realistic guy and understands that people have lives outside of school. I had to miss a few classes because of lack of childcare and he was completely understanding. If you put in the work, don't slack off, and show that you truly care about your progress, he will do everything to help you succeed.
Prof. Dole is a great professor. I took him in DIRW 0305,0310, and English Comp 1301. If i could take him for 1302 I sure would. If you have any questions I recommend you ask. He responds to e-mails within 24 hours time frame.
good teacher and also gives a lot of help when needed! He can see what students want to try and which don't. Really good in teaching the criteria to write an essay.
BEST TEACHER EVER!!!! SO AWESOME!!!
He is good at his logic and handling the class.
MUST PARTICIPATE IN CLASS DISCUSSION! Essays are straight forward just read instructions carefully.
Prof. Dole is a wonderful teacher and he is knowledgeable about the courses. I started out with him in DRIW to English Comp. 1 I wish he taught English 1302.. He gives great feedback. And thanks to him only have my reading improve but also my writing..
He is a great educator. Professor Dole for sure has passion for literature. He does gives you the proper guidance to correct the struggles you have on writing. The expectation for his projects are well explained. I am glad I had him as a professor on a class that is fundamental to my education.
He could be difficult in his class depend on him. what you do you and the assignments are due?
Professor Dole is an amazing teacher. He is inspiring and truly knows what he is teaching. Class attendance and participation in class discussion are encouraged. He is a tough grader, but he will give you feedbacks and another chance to fix the essay. You need to work hard,attend class, do all discussion boards and assignments to get an A.
Professor Dole is the best English teacher you will encounter at North Lake I highly recommend him he will help you become a stronger writer and develop your ideas. If your an english major you should take his class because he focuses on your writing comprehension . The class is not an easy A but if you work hard you can do it.
Professor Dole is an amazing professor that I would recommend to anyone able to take his class. He is quite passionate about what he teaches and cares for everyone in his class. He wants the best for his students and helps you when you have any questions. An added plus is he is also pretty funny. Take his class!
DIRW-0310 was my first college class ever. I really enjoyed Professor Dole's style of teaching. I wish he was teaching English 1301-Comp 1 this upcoming fall. I would definitely sign up for his class again. Thank you for the guidance!!
Great teacher! He makes the class very fun and will help you out on your papers!
Mr DOLE is a great professor. He's really good at helping everyone understand the material, he is very flexible, and even outside of class he always responds to emails ASAP. He is also reasonable with grades, would take him again if I could.
Professor Dole is very Helpful if you keep track of with assignments you should be ok. I took the fast term for English-1301 and got an A thanks to professor dole. Get ready to read and to discuss in class. There is not such a thing as an easy A, if you work hard you should not have any problem while taking the course with professor Dole.
Professor Dole is a pretty cool teacher. He is tough but not too tough. If you put in the work and communicate with him, you will definitely pass this class.
Mr. Dole is a great teacher and if you do your work , you will definitely pass with A :)
Professor Dole has designed his course in a nice way so that student can understand clearly. You will need to go to classes regularly because he grades for attendance too. Even if you are not a great writer, don't worry you will at least get a B if you do the assignments and attend the classes.
Really tough grader... would minus grades even at the smallest mistakes in essays. Wouldnt care if you participate in his class or no, he just wants his essays done by the deadline and wouldnt consider a reasonable absent also.
He is a very good teacher who wants everyone to pass his class
He's very much a hands-on teacher, meaning you shouldn't miss a single class. You usually miss very valuable information that could help deeply with the work. He very much likes hearing others opinions on things and has an open mind.
He his the best teacher yall should have more more teachers like him . He is just an amazing , fantastic person .
Respected basically everything listed here works.
Professor Dole has designed the class in really nice way. If you do the work you will get an A. Even if you are not a good writer, you will at least get a B if you do the assignments.
Apply yourself. The grade is earned through progress in your assignments. If you want a passing grade you will have to make appointments with the writing center tutors to correct revised work. If you are planning on transferring to a university he would be your best choice.
I really enjoyed his class. Very supportive, funny and cool teacher.
Very supportive, wants everybody to succeed, all you need to do is make sure you are ready to succeed. He will support you. Do the assignments, attend classes and be willing and eager to learn. He is easy going and down to earth. He will always respond to your question with the intention to help you get better.
Prof. Dole is very motivating and encouraging. He empower us with basic writing skills and comprehension. It was a plausible privilege to learn under his championship.
Professor Dole is one of the best teachers. I recommend all students to take his class.
Professor Dole is an outstanding teacher who wants his students to succeed in his class. Yes, there are essays that you must complete, but Professor does a wonderful job of explaining and giving examples and if there is something you do not understand, he'll take time and help you. Don't be afraid to ask question, this was my first academic course
It's actually part of life to meet new people every day of your life, but it's incredible meeting a special, energetic and inspirational teacher like professor Dole. This, I keep saying about him that he's not lazy about teaching. He doesn't only see it as what he's being paid for, but making his students achieve why they're actually in class.
One of the best professor I have
Hes one of the best professor he would help you a lot on how to write a good essay.I would take his class again one of the best classes.
He is best professor with whom I came to know how much you need to be determined and focused towards your goal. He is such a helpful person. I will recommend each and everyone of you to take his class so that you can learn something different rather than nothing. He just want his student to be focused on what he/she is doing....
Ive only have had Dole for about 2 months. I would definitely take his class again if I could. Dole has inspired me in many ways with his respect and love towards his students. I went through hard troubles lately due to living the adult life- Dole has decided to help me by giving advice and hes understanding. LET HIM KNOW FIRST. Trust him.
This guy's online class is a definite NO. He grades his essays very hard and small things dock you tons of points. It is very easy to drop your grade in this class and way too hard to bring up. Definitely do NOT recommend him.
Professor Dole took a different approach to English 1301, he incorporated the necessary fundamentals of the course but added his touch to it. He had our class think. We were able to flex our minds in ways we have never been asked to do nor have to write about. It brought out my creativity side that I thought was lost in my yester years. Amazing
I enjoyed having him as a teacher he is very flexible and understanding, he gives you great feedback on your work. Just like any other teacher would, he pushes you to be better! I definitely recommend him as a teacher you learn a lot and would take him again if possible!
This professor is extremely fair to his students. He responds to any emails in a timely manner and really wants you to excel. I recommend this professor even if he is a little tough. He is a really smart and good person.
Honestly I would have not done so well if he had not took time to respond to my emails and answer my questions. He is a fair grader who gives you great feedback. He will work with you to ensure you understand the assignments and he does not speak down to you if you question something. I enjoyed the books, and the class as a whole.
If I had to describe Professor Dole, I would say he is firm, but he is also fair. He gives good feedback as to how improve your work which I highly appreciated. His recommended writing structures helped improve my essays. He wont work with you if he sees you do not care about class. Show effort and he will meet you halfway to make sure you pass
For my first class at North Lake College for english he is the best for english.
Professor Dole will give you the grade you earn but he is not an unreasonable man. If you focus on your studies and put in real effort he will put in an effort on your behalf. You will learn more in this English 1301 class than ones similar. We were on a tight schedule but he wouldn't move on until everyone was ready. Also, he's pretty funny.
I have my first college class with him. He is wonderful! Yes you have to do 4 essays but he get you there by his guide. he never go out of topic. for writing your essay you should go through some steps which is useful! he put his time with you to check your essay which will help you to have a polish final draft. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TEACHER!
He is a great professor. If you just listen and understand everything, you will be just fine in his class. You just need to put in all your hard work and you will see great results.
An amazing teacher, his class is challenging but this forms you to be a better writer. I would take this class again. Attend class and follow the criteria given.
He makes you get 2 textbooks and makes us write 4 papers. The writing center visits are part of your essay grade. Professor Dole is very sarcastic but funny, he gave me really good feedback on my essays and his lectures are interesting. He makes us do a lot of discussion boards. Overall, his personality is great, I would take his class again if I c
Professor Ivan is really an amazing professor, even though i took him online, he answered and helped me through email and for this class you have to do the work on time and make sure you follow the rubrics and examples given because that is going to make up your grades, he gives feedback on the essay and i enjoyed his class very much
Professor Dole was incredibly efficient at teaching the writing process. Aside from the weekly discussion, there were only a few assignments. The instructions for each essay are available in advance, so planning around your homework is easy. I took the 16 week course, so I had plenty of time to write all of my essay's and edit them.
I took professor Dole's class my first ever semester in college. I've never been a great writer or much into English but, he made the class very informative and fun. Work is from a textbook, a handful of essays, and some analysis work. Very caring for all his students, wants everyone to succeed.
Friendly and persistent in his teaching. Always open to giving and receiving feedback, 10/10 would attend again.
Great professor, his classes are really engaging and I learned a lot during this course.
Professor Dole is one of the best professor in English He will help you to pass his class do all of his work and you will pass as well as his lectures were the best and interesting !!
Professor Dole was amazing! He gives great feedback to help out on assignments. He also tries to help out as much as possible when you need it!
His class is structured very well. This was my first online course and I am grateful I had him as a professor. Just complete his assignments on time and follow his instructions and you will pass. He provides sufficient resources to ensure you do not feel lost. Overall just enjoy the class and work hard.
I loved Professor Dole's class. I took him for the summer term and there were 3 essays, 5 journals, and some discussion boards. The book is available on a PDF so you do not have to buy it. You should do good on essays because of peer reviews and OWL reviews. He is very understanding. Take his class I would have him for every subject if I could!!!!
This was my first time taking online courses and I am so lucky to have gotten such a good educator like Professor Dole. Hes truly a gem! He has a lovely personality and is an amazing professor. If you do what is required then this class will be easy. I most certainly recommend him!
Professor Dole is an amazing professor. he focuses on what the student needs and replies fast to the emails that are sent to him when it involves one's assignments.
This was an online class, I wish he had given more feedback. The feedback he did provide was educational.
Do not take this professor's class. He has no reasoning skills at all and has no logic when he is grading. He comes up with absurd guidelines and deducts points significantly. He is also very rude when he replies to emails and does not give clear instructions at all either. Don't take this class if you want to end up with a good grade.
Professor Dole is always willing to help with assignments (that does not mean he'll give you answers, but he will definitely point you in the right direction.) He responds quickly to emails. He is strict on due dates and does not allow late papers but assignments are given well ahead of time. Work in advance and late papers should not be an issue.
Professor Dole is the best professor I have ever had. He is very nice, has a good sense of humor, and he is really clear about what he expects. He is not a harsh professor but expects you to try your best.
This dude is AMAZING! Be prepared to write! You will be provided with materials and sources to help you succeed throughout this course so don't worry. The only "Con" I have is that he does take a little longer then most teachers when it comes to grading, but he grades very precise and takes pride in grading so its worth the wait!
Participation matters to him. As well as long and heavy lectures
As a student who loves getting A's it is frustrating having a professor who no matter how hard you try, your paper will never be good enough, even if it meant checking your paper three times in the writing lab.
Professor Dole is really an amazing professor. It was a pleasure to be in his class. Although i took him online, he answered and helped me through email. His email responses are pretty quick. He expect his students to try their best.
The assignment content and essays were fitting to the lesson sections and was informative. The instructions were clear, assignments challenging but achievable. Dr. Dole was good at getting back with responses to queries promptly and with adequate answers. I enjoyed this class.
I am a first-year college student and a non-native English speaker. My experience with Professor Dole has been fantastic. During his lesson, I learned a lot from him. Despite many writings, I noticed the usefulness of the heavy paper at the end of this course.
Dr. Dole is an excellent professor. If you want to learn, he is there to teach you. One can do well if they are prepared and ready to do the work. Dr. Dole wants students to be successful. Students earn their grade and Dr. Dole is there to support and guide the student. Highly recommend taking his English 1301 and English 1302 courses.
I decided it would be a great idea to start this hybrid 5 week English course during a stretch of overnight shifts at work. Bad idea. Dr. Dole understood my chosen adversities and worked with me closely to excel as best i could in this course. It's no cake walk and you have to do the work to succeed. Pay close attention to the syllabus due dates.
Dr. Dole is a great teacher. He gives great feedback and as long as you do the work he will support you. You will earn your grade, no extra credit or grade curve. If I had to take 1302 over I would definitely take his class again.
When I was having problems turning in my homework, instead helping me he said it was my fault. He grade by feeling, I did my homework exactly what he want but he give me 0 points for that, and when I emailed him he gave me 50 instead. I sent him the email as a proof to show that I did my homework and he still didn't upgrade my grade. 0/5 for me.
DrDole was fantastic. Not only did he make every unit exciting and engaging. He was quick to assist you with anything you may need. This being said, he also was great at leaving feedback on your essays and assignments. It's easy to tell when a teacher truly loves what they do; DrDole was no exception. If you have DrDole, you've been blessed!
Hi to everyone wanting to take Professor Dole... this professor was one of my first ones as a freshmen in college and he goes through his units pretty fast, gives enough time between submissions, gives great feedback, try showing up to class as much as you can because it really helps to know what's going on. CREDIBILITY and COMMUNICATION is huge.
Professor Dole was amazing! All of his work is very intentional, so you won't be doing any busy work. He is definitely willing to work with you if you communicate! He gives really good feedback and overall really helped me improve my writing. Definitely don't miss class, he gives good feedback and additional information there!
Dr. Dole is extremely amazing. He responded to emails fast and give great feedback. My writing is improved a lot with his help. Don't be afraid to reach out to him for help or any concern. IMPORTANT! He DOES NOT accept late works so don't wait until the last minute.
I definitely recommend professor Dole! The only way to pass this class is by not missing a day and asking questions. Don't be afraid to reach for help because he would most definitely love to help you if he sees your trying at least. Other than that, the essays that had to be written for this class were very specific and easy.
I enrolled in his class because of the great reviews, but this was the most boring English class I've ever taken. His course is surrounded by Tuesdays with Morrie and the essay prompts didn't have to be that complicated. I also didn't like how the course was organized, it was sloppy. The course calendar was missing some assignments too.
Dr. Dole's class is highly recommended, no matter what reading/writing level a student joins the course. The professor has the capability to enhance a student's writing through relevant feedback. Very prompt in replying to clarifications through email. Always seek help when you face a writing issue. My writing notably improved after this class.
Honestly, worst class. He made me feel like none of my assignments were good enough. He made it seem like if I wasn't smart enough to take his class. He deducts points significantly for everything. He is rude when you ask him questions and isn't very clear with instructions. I wholeheartedly regret taking his class.
I wanted to give Professor Dole's class a try because of his reviews. I totally wish that I did not. He is very ruthless and made me feel dumb for every question asked. I love making As and trying my hardest for every assignment, but he was just careless. He didn't seem to care about his students. Worst instructor that I have ever taken.
DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS It's almost impossible to get an A in this class Mr. Dole is strict and makes u feel like all ur work is pathetic Rather than helping u work out ur mistakes he'll just give you a bad grade I wrote his 1st name on my essays and he took off points cuz I HAVE to write his last name ONLY Took 3 essays for him to clear up the issue
I had taken his ENG 1301. The things I learned from this course is helpful to me in other classes as well. Unfortunately i missed his class for 1302 due to late registration. Take without hesitation. He is so motivational and inspirational.
Dr. Dole is an absolutely incredible teacher. He inspired me so much! I am in a difficult place in life right now and his assignments helped me look inward. He cares about you getting something out of the material. Don't try to skate by or you'll miss out. Very communicative and understanding. Grammar matters. Approach this class with an open mind!
Dr. Dole's online English course was really great. He gave excellent feedback, he was quick to respond to emails, and it was very clear to me what I needed to work on. I've taken him both in person and online, and his quality of instruction was very exceptional on both fronts. His assignments helped me grow in both my reading and writing skills.
Dr. Dole's class was a very good class. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to improve on their essay skills, especially when your fresh out of high school. He doesn't give much work and he have a schedule of when he wants things started and when he wants them done. He is caring and understanding of things. Great feedback as well.
Professor Dole communicates the material clearly to his students and is always willing to help you if you are struggling in his class.
Without exaggeration, Dr. Dole is one of the best professors I have had the pleasure of being taught by. I took ENGL 1301 with him and I can confidently say the following: his course is very organized, his feedback is extremely helpful, the assignments are intentional, and he is an amazing educator who cares about his students and values his job.
Professor Dole explains everything in detail and demands participation. Professors check the drafts of each student in the class and motivate you to earn a better grade. Essay topics are pretty interesting and require brainstorming. You will easily pass the class if you take the initiative to complete homework on time and follow his feedback.
I just took Dr. Dole's online ENGL 1301 course for summer one and can truly say I learned so much. He is an understanding teacher and will answer any questions, comments, or concerns via email to the best of his ability. Each unit requires an essay as the main criteria, but he leaves excellent feedback to guide you through what you need to improve!
Took summer courses Some homework instructions were clear to me, but meant something completely different. Main issue was that instructions were not clear. I did not think I needed to email him, turned out I got worse grade b/cause I misunderstood assignment. He is a tough grader, wants you to make changes on essays based on his criteria.
Professor Dole's concern is with keeping you busy, not with teaching you. He assigns a bunch of work that is scattered all over the place. You have to click into several tabs just to find and do one assignment. Out of several semesters & multiple professors, he is the first to have us do work outside BB. He makes the class confusing for no reason.
The reviews for him are super misleading. super harsh grader and you must go by his criteria. I had to open so many tabs for just one assignment. One day only timed final exam/essay.the purpose of this class is to keep you busy. all in all, hes so evil. like 3 papers each needing a first draft, peer review, and thesis+outline. DONT TAKE THIS CLASS
Professor dole, if youre reading this then please better your ways and stop being so harsh to your students. your syllabus rules are super weird like losing 5 points from your grade if you ask for one extra point in your grade. having to read a 60 page book thats extremely boring isnt making your class any better. pls stop choosing such bad topics
dont take him. its for your own good
Professor Dole is amazing! I took his class over summer, and I enjoyed it tremendously. His assignments were entertaining and engaging. I didn't have any issues with any of the projects, and I definitely would take his class again! This class was one of the best classes I've even taken. He also is great at responding quickly through email!
Dr.Dole is an amazing teacher. Gives clear instructions with assignments. It was hard at first because I was new into college but as the semester went by the course got easy . Learned a lot new things great teacher I will take the class again
Dr. Dole is by far my favorite professor! He gives excellent feedback on your writing with suggestions to edit and revise. He is easygoing as long you complete your work by the due date of the assignment. I would definitely take this class again!
Dr. Dole was one of my favorite professors I've had, he was very encouraging when I was unsure of something. He appreciates you showing up to class and putting in the work, if you show you care enough to be there, he will put forth effort to help you succeed in this class.
Dr. Dole was awesome. He was super cool and an overall great professor. I really enjoyed this class and learned a lot. He was very helpful and encouraging, as long as you show up to class and put in the work he will do his best to help you succeed.
Dr. Dole has a way of teaching you're not going to find in any instructor. I had the opportunity of having him my first semester and he thought me what college life looks like in an easy way. He is a good instructor if it's your first year or if you're in the middle of your Carrer he is it.
weird as heck. thinks he is sherlock
I had the pleasure of taking an English course with Professor Dole, and it was one of the most enjoyable and enriching academic experiences I've had. Professor is incredibly easygoing, he descriptively explains his expectations for assignments, reducing confusion and allowing students to focus on producing their best work.
Absolutely ADORE Dr. Dole! He absolutely helped in EVERY WAY possible with any questions I had, the same day answered! Follow his exact rubric and be on time! And you will be great in his class! I wish more professors were like him! His course is so meaningful as well! An EXCELLENT PROFESSOR! 10 OUT OF 10!
Had 2 family emergencies while taking Dr. Dole's class and was not given any grace or shown empathy. He was rhetorical and rude when I emailed him with questions. If you're someone who may need explanations on assignments, I wouldn't recommend Dr. Dole, he won't help you and he'll make you feel stupid.
Took it in Summer, he was so clear & concise with his grading, he also helped revise the essays. I recommend downloading the Grammarly extension to their computer. I wish he had more classes for my degree program because I would only take his classes. Dr. Dole also gives the class amazing material to reflect on for mental & spiritual growth. 10/10
Dr. Dole is a great professor who really cares about his students' success. His class is well-structured, with helpful feedback and engaging assignments. While it requires effort, using resources like unstuck AI can make the workload manageable.
he was a very tough professor and was bad.
Dr. Dole is an awesome professor who really engages with the class and communicates well with everyone. He gives the best feedback when you need help on your essay but also explains things really well even when he tells you for the fourth time.
Great Professor! Assignments are tough but it is necessary for our improvements.
The course was a fast paced course; however, Dr. Dole made it so easy to understand each assignment and very thorough on his feedback and help. I highly recommend him as a great professor.
Such a great professor, wish more were like him! Never had a professor more invested in his students who actually cared for their academics than him. Might be intimidating at first, but he is there to reassure and keep you in his best interest. Love this professor and I thank him for the confidence he helped bring out as a college freshman.
May semester class. The class was fast-paced; there were assignments due every day. There were 4 total essays; 1 of them was 20% of your grade, and the other 3 were 60% of your grade. He was strict on formatting and set clear grading criteria. it was a lot of work but it is doable if you put the time in.
Terrible, harsh grader, and assigned so much work. I took all these 5 stars reviews into play and selected him, later finding out how wrong I was. Please beware!
Professor Dole is awesome! He makes class enjoyable and has a great sense of humor. I needed help with an assignment and he was very willing to give feedback and was me feel better about my writing skills. I was 10/10 professor. I would definitely take a class from him again!! Thanks Professor Dole
I just found him abrupt and rude in my interaction with him. I will always remember him for that. Just rude without a reason. Had nothing to do with my grades. I think he had a complex. I was pleasant to him. He just had no other option to him, it seemed, other than to be rude.
Very rude and arrogant which made it uncomfortable to ask questions or seek clarification.
Honestly a great professor, He is very clear with grading and honestly very helpful. Honestly this class wont be for you if you don't have proper time managing skills.
Very tough grader. He makes everything very difficult. Nepalsese students don't take this class he will give you worse experience .
