There's a lot of outside reading for this class and a couple of assignments and quizzes. Your grade is basically based on the papers and final exam though. Mr. Click makes an effort for his students to understand the readings (and basically lectures or does group comprehensions during class time). I really liked that about him; he's pretty fair.

Professional, organized, and fair. Writing required: 3 essays, 1 research paper, and 1 journal, based on 10-14 essays and a novel. The material is difficult, because you have to think about it and put your own opinion out there and then back it up. This class will make you a better writer and thinker for all your other classes, especially ENGL1B.

Professor Click is the best English teacher I've ever had. He is very clear and helpful. He really cares about his students and is very easy to get along with.

He's very clear on what he's talking about, but he's usually talking about things that aren't all that interesting. He incorporates a lot of philosophy into the class. Beware: He's moody at times. He definitely helps you be a better writer if you seek his help. If your first choice for an English class is full, this is a decent alternative.

Professor Click is a nice guy and a good professor. However, I felt like I was in a philosophy class. The readings that he gave us were philosophical and can be interpreted in many ways. But if you do not interpret it as he sees it, then you will get a bad grade. He grades POORLY even if you have a well structured essay.

Quite honestly, this class is more like a philosophy class than an English class. The readings are mostly from thinkers like Plato, and for me, it was a little difficult. There isn't much homework other than reading journals and the essays. Lectures are often very long, and I personally didn't have the willpower to stay awake. Sorry, Click.
