Not the best professor available, but not the worst either. The workload in his course is probably the lightest of all the 121 teachers: it was only 5 papers, research paper, and few in-class quizzes.

I believe in giving everyone a thorough chance and honestly i tried my best to give him the benefit of the doubt, i'm very unhappy with his teaching methods. English 121 is turning more into a current affairs class, there are no notes, and all class consists of is him reading aloud essays and classwork and ripping them apart. Theres no positivity.

He's really not that bad. I mean, he'll bore you to sleep and all, but he'll actually help you out. The worst part of the class are these three really annoying kids that can't shut up. Other than that, it's not terrible, but I definitely don't recommend it to anyone.

He is boring, but he is easy overall. Most of what he teaches is grammar and sentence structure. I am an english major and I thought his class was stupid at first because I have good grammar. But... I soon learned that he teaches the little things that many, including myself, probably don't notice. He is pretty corny at times, but I loved him

His class consist of criticizing your weekly papers. He doesn't give any helpful information that isn't already stated in your textbooks. In my opinion, my writing is the same as it was in the beginning of the semester. He is very rude answering emails. I once asked him a question and instead of answering it, he told me to re-read the directions.

I liked him. He talks very soft and is not clear, incredibly sarcastic but hes funny in his own way. 1 short essay due per week and class consists of him reading students essays and mocking them, that's it real simple. If your a decent writer like I was the class will be easy but if you require extra help look somewhere else cause you wont get any.
