Kinda has a one-track mind when it comes to subjects he enjoys. Loves class participation, and makes sure your prepared for class. Really knows how to get a class fired up with debates, you'll never forget your first class....
Class is different..more on American Culture than anything else....would agree with the one track mind comment! Be prepared as you will have to be involved in class!
I enjoy his approach to teaching. Some might think he's too strict, but it's nice to know EXACTLY what a professor expects of you
Not clear on what he wants from you on his papers! Stay clear!
great teacher. need to read ahead of class to be included in the discussion portion of the class.

Make sure you read... If not, he gives a quiz and you don't know the answer you are kicked out of class. I dropped itand suggest anyone taking his class do the same!
At first I was intimidated, but then many people dropped and the class was alright. You have to be diligent and into what is being taught or you'll hate it. But if you actually want to learn and don't mind putting in more effort than you're used to, you may enjoy the class.
he is the first teacher to get me interested in learning, i got so addicted to it i started studying after school. it is a hard class but i have definetively learned more than in any other class. you'll love it. just make sure you do the work. love his method!!!
Not difficult if you are there to learn. If you don't want to do work, then don't take him. If you are there to actually work and learn then he is a decent teacher. Not very clear on the requirments of the research assignments.
Great teacher. Makes students do something that not many professors do nowdays: Think. One of the few classes that I actually got something out of and will keep for the rest of my life. A lot of reading is done but everything is with a purpose. I recomend this proff to anyone.
Dr Dew has a good grasp of issues, and a peculiar way of communicating same. I have learnt a lot about articulating complex ideas in essays within limited time. He makes the course very challenging and interesting. Strict with his policies, but generally seeking ways to improve the understanding of
I give him the benefit of the doubt. He can make others think, but not sure if he does it himself. Maybe he thinks too much. Not impressed at all.
Intelligent professor. Like others have said he makes his students think. Actually enjoyed most of the essays/papers written in/for class. Very interesting concepts, seems to try to seem "enlightened."
He does not teach English in his class. Its more of a black history class than anything else. He is also EXTREMELY uptight with his rules (eg tardiness, cell phones, etc). He seems to have issues and uses his class as a way to vent them.
he is so weird, but he is nice. He'll help you but you must ask for help. he really doesn't specify on what he wants for his essays but overall an O.K. teacher

Makes English interesting
WEIRD but not genius..Just messy. If you must take his class, you may find a way to handle it. If you have a choice, go with a better professor.
TERRIBLE TEACHER!!!! is not helpful or clear about what he wants from students. Has VERY BAD attitude problem and is very overdemanding.
Dew thinks he's teaching some hardcore course, and that an attitude problem makes a good professor.The class needs as much help as he does.
I do not really understand why many people dropped his class,he is a smart man and he is funny.If u are late for class u will be marked absent that day,that is a major reason why people dropped his class,but I think there is nothing wrong with it.I like his class and he is the best one I've ever had
Terrible
I was added to his morning class due to another class being canceled. I went to class for 1 day and he said enough for me. The syllabus was two and a half pages long and he didn't allow you to be late. HELLO...we are in ATL and we are not gods that can controll traffic.
If you are not prepared to get an A; Do not take this class. He is the Professor that enables you to think "outside the box." Do not be fooled by his "tough" exterior." You will be more "empowered," mentally and physically . I dare you to fail; You won't. We need more tutors like Dr.Dew. Thanks sir.
People who rate him well can't even write correctly. That should send out a message. If you want to feel like you're back in High School, go ahead and take the class.
Stay away from this teacher
typical college professor. you get your dollars worth when you take him. he makes literature so much more interesting. its a shame so many raters are giving him bad ratings. take him if you want the real deal.
He is a good teacher. You do have to earn your grade. People need to grow up.
he is a great teacher and a fox
He definitely has unique views. He's an overall good guy, and even though he makes you fully earn your grade, you'll get a lot out of his class in the end.
I took Dr. Dew American Lit 1&2. His classes was tough and you had to earn your grade. No doubt. He was an amazing professor. I got a lot out of his class. I wish that my professors @ my reg. school were just this way. Very willing to help and listen...
this is by far the best class i've taken at perimeter. he knows how to expose the lazy ass kids in the class. he makes the class challenging. which at times can make you feel stupid for listening to the idiots in the class. it's funny to see the bewildered faces he makes when they say something stupid. Excellent teacher.
Dr. Dew is a very hard teacher, you have to stay on top of work; however,he is very helpful, just go by his office if you need anything and he gets you to open up your mind more and think outside the box. Don't take him if you are looking for an easy A, take him if you want to learn something
This prof is serious about teaching. He's what the college experience is about. Show up, pay attention, and do your work. The class will actually open your mind.
Dr. Dew was a very difficult teach. Please don not take him if you are returning to school after 5 years or more. He has no time for slow students. I worked extremely hard in his class room and barley passed. I still don't know what he wants, but neither does he. Oh he will try the race card , and he is very perferted.
Great teacher, be prepared to actually learn something. Lets you look outside the box. The easiest A you'll ever make. Do not let his "tough exterior" or his "ivy league" ways fool you, that is just to weed out the ones who will not be able to handle his class. He is a very very good teacher. Kudos Dr. Dew Kudos
liberals need only apply. officer in PETA and will try to make you see things his way.
He uses his classes to spread his message and special interests. After the second class I knew he was an activist.
hard, liberal professor. if you've killed an animal you'll fail.
Teaches basically nothing about english, only about his passions and ideas. Says that he attends animal rights protests. If you are anything other than a liberal activist you will get no higher than a 'C'
Not for the tardy. Your tardy counts as an absence. Be prepared every day. Not a teacher for the silent. Be prepared to speak up in class. Those who talk do better. He likes opininated people. Was not really English, more like social science class. Overall good experience, and I'd take him again.
He is aweful! I hated him, He totally stereotypes ppl & decides who he likes & who he will pick on/be a dick to with absolutely no reasoning.He expects 5 pg papers & he "objectively" does everything which would be code for--im going to let you figure it out & leave u lost so that-the teacher doesnt have to do anything.Ive always had A's-until him
Tough Teacher, Different teaching style not as much personal work critiqing or practice as I would have liked but if you come to class, participate!!!, get past his personal agendas you will do fine. Oh yeah andl like to watch films. I ended up with an A but worked hard for it. p.s. He's nice eye candy!
Can be difficult, but is very clear about what he expects. Participate in class and ask questions if you don't understand. He will help if you ask. f you do that you should get a high grade.
was too hard for me - - ;;
did good on all the papers, missed 4 days of class, took final exam, D final grade. he is an **** liberal and whines like a **** if you say something he doesnt agree with
This was by far the hardest class I have taken at GPC. Your test are a 5 page essay in 50 minutes which are graded very harshly even for the smallest mistakes. He is a very hard grader and I would not recommend him to anyone, especially since abunch of other students I talked to about classes said that he sucks. DO NOT TAKE HE SUCKS!
mostly text discussions,student was assigned a 1pg paper cuz 3min.late to class,seriously EXTREMELY hard!fun and awesome class discussions,4 exams(crazy hard essays) and 1 paper.strict grader!nonlenient,ive had many teacher and by FAR ONE OF THE HARDEST!DO NOT TAKE IF!he thinks the subject is your major,each exam is on 1of the3 text books,very broa
The BEST class that I have ever taken. Wonderful, insightful class discussions. Really makes you think. Dont come into his class expecting to be a slacker. Be a responsible college adult, and be respectful to his lectures. You will get a lot out of this course. Its a hard course but your grade reflects your output. He's fair THIS IS COLLEGE PEOPLE
This is bay far my favorite class that I have taken at Georgia Perimeter!! I looked forward to each class and Dr. Dew was an excellent teacher. Yes, his class is challenging and demanding, but that is what makes it great. Don't take this class if you are a slacker, if you are not interested in learning, and if you have a negative attitude. Do take
He's extremely difficult. I made a C in his class and I actually put effort into it, unlike the rest of my classes. Dr. Dew is an awesome teacher who really knows his subject matter. He is insightful and if you pay attention, you will learn a lot from him. Don't expect to come to class late or unprepared. If you like a challenge he's your guy.
I had Dr. Dew for World Lit. He is the best english teacher I ever had. You must come to his class prepared. If you do you will learn alot. There are rules to follow in his class. Participation is what he loves. Class discussions were great. Do not be afraid of what people say, Dr. Dew is the best. Now I am a foller of Dewism. lol
He got offended if you didn't call him Dr. He also would return your papers until the heading was exactly right. lots of reading and had to put a lot of work into it. I enjoyed him and his ideas he is brilliant, but very liberal... and makes you feel guilty about your own ideas... not an easy class... I usually make As but not here!
I think Dr. Dew is a very unhappy man and it shows. To me it felt like he was taking out his angst on students. A stickler for the rules, doesn't tolerate tardiness.
great teacher!!!! Be Prapared and you wont fail
He is very mean! You do not know what he wants from his essays. Mean Mean Mean Annddd MEAN!!!
take his class if grades dont matter to you. otherwise failing is normal. his grading is based on no reasonable scale and he does not tell students what he wants in the tests and papers until you make the mistakes and THEN he tells you!
take him if you really ready to learn something in college
He is absolutely one of the BEST professor's I've EVER had. Yes, it is not easy....but he IS teaching college, so unless you want to be taught like your in High School, don't even bother to take him, better yet, college is NOT for you. He expects much more from one than just simplicity. Very greatful to have taken him.
Dr. Dew was a very effective teacher. The discussions were interesting,and I became a better writer. If you are lazy don't take this class, because you will fail. He told my class on the second day that we were all probably going to fail. I ended up getting a B. So if you take this class be prepared to work.
Well if you take his class expect 2 7-page test and expect to fail if you do not finish at least 5/7 before time runs out; brutal about grammatic errors, but most likely the pages count a lot more. Very good teacher, but grading policy seems a bit harsh.
WOW.YAAAWN...UGH...Get HELP, Sir.I am just a Freshman and I feel HAPPIER than his PHD self. WOW! Sad, aint it?
So Hard! But you do learn a lot, he seems really mean but he's got a sense of humor. Its nearly impossible to get an A and I had a very hard time just making a C and I'm a good student. If you want to learn, take him, but if you want a good grade: avoid. He said on the first day half the class will fail, very true.
He is the greatest teacher EVER! He really teaches you to open your mind. He makes the class very interesting. It was the only class that I ever looked forward to. I not only enjoyed it but I learned as well. He is hard and strict but that helped me become structured.
He is not clear on instructions and very, very intimidating. He'll be mean one minute and joking the next. He takes off a lot of points for the smallest things. Even if this is your best subject, you might not do well in his class.
Ok...It's true what everyone says. The class IS challenging. He pushes you to do better to become a great writter & person! U MUST be on time, have EVERY paper & assignment complete b4 class & on his desk! If you don't like to study & do the work EVERYDAY...don't take him! U must luv ENGL to app. his class. I left with an A!
Great Teacher...I took him for 1101 & 1102. He is strict, but nothing is easy in this world. IF you want to learn and challenge yourself, this is the professor to take...if you are slacker - why are you even bothering with college?
Great guy.my first class in GPC spring 07.very ready to work with student and make you pass the class if you demonstrate interest in class. read assigned work before you come to class because of the class discussion.Had an A in the class,secret-just write your papers and turn them in on time.If you are shy pls offer an opinion in class when posibl
He is a good teacher.
DEW! I care NOT what anyone says about this man he is by FAR the BEST english professor I've ever had. Sure he's a little strict but TRUST me ... he means well & you WILL benifit from his class. I'm taking him for 1102. Granted I pass 1101. HEY Dr. DEW! it's JACQUELYN!! Plus ... he can be really funny if your well behaved!
great professor
Well, you can only miss two classes, and I missed only two. I did ALL the classwork and article printings. I never made below a 70 on the essays. In fact I got a 100 on one of the in class essays. Yet, on final day when he gave me my grade. I had a 68. Which I find a little funny considering I NEVER FREAKIN FAILED ANYTHING.
Dr. Dew is an amazing teacher! I don't know my grade but I do know I left his class knowing a lot more than I did walking in.
Professor Dew is a great teacher! He loves his job and the students and you can easily see that. Just attend class and read the stories and you will pass. He opens your mind to think differently and he likes to play devils advocate to get the students fired up. Take him if you want to actually stay awake in class b/c its not boring.
He was mean self centered and i did not learn one thing
This man lives and breathes literature. He seems to be very passionate about the subject. I enjoyed having him because he really cares if you understand or not. I gave him a pepper because of the fire that he has for the subject amongst other things;-). Warning this class is not for the lazy, so be prepared to work and you will be fine.
Great, insightful class. I recommend this class to anyone who wants a true learning experience.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!
His class is interesting and you will learn a lot, however, you will not leave with a decent grade. DO NOT be late by more than 5 min or its an absence. Every absence after 2 is 3pts off your grade. Militaristic professor. If you decide to take this class do not pay attention to the 7 page essay rule, just make sure you get your points across.
He is a good professor but very hard. If you want to learn you need to take his class. He is very strict and if you follow his rules you will do fine. Trust me he is the best!!!
Horrible.
I have him now and he seems to be a good teacher but his rules are RIDICULOUS!?!?! He takes points for everything, sleeping, being late, not having your book. I didn't have my book the first day and he took a point. I just feel like you should be graded on the work you do not how well you can stay awake in his class!! He's a borderline dictator!!!!
STAY AWAY FROM HIM
Give him some credit! His class is definately NOT boring. He makes it interesting. He expects you to be in class, pay attention & listen. He is a little tough on his grading, but you will learn & he will make you better!
He is a strict professor. he wants everything to be on point. In class essays,50 min 5 pgs. His lectures are very interesting. He is extremely intelligence
Its your call... I thought that I could have learned alot from him, and liked him at first, but I spent 3 weeks writing a research paper, and was one minute late to class b/c of school traffic and he wouldn't except the paper! Literally one minute late, and I had to drop the class b/c it was 20% of my grade! Way too strict...
I think Dr. Dew is an excellent teacher. He is very passionate about world literature and he is a very intelligent man. He has a few rules to abide by but as long as you attend class and take notes on his context there is no reason you should do bad in his class. i highly recommend him!
Dr. dew is strict. At the beginning of the semester he tells you what he expects and what his rules are. Pay close attention because he takes no late work, and deducts points for tardiness. I thought his class was not as bad as people think. Class discussions were always interesting. Overall he is a good professor. Plan to do your work!
In Dr. Dew's class you will definitly work. He is strict but he lets you know from the beginning what he excepts.If you take his class just be prepared to earn your grade. you will need to get the book because it is used alot. There will be at least two papers.Overall it really was not that bad..there was never a dull moment.
Dosen't offer extra credit.
Dr.Dew is the best proffesor i've ever had. i admire his passion for his job. His class is chalenging, but interesting. You must do all the work, don't skip classes and don't be late. About 5 pages in 50 min: i got only 4 pages and still got an A, so it matters what you wright and how good or bad your grammar is.
is the worst teacher ever, he makes his class very difficult for being 1101. if you are planning to pass 1101 dont take this teacher.
If you love a challenge and want to learn, take this class! Dr. Dew will make you think & challenge your perception of life. It's definately not an easy A class, but the good things in life are never easy!!!!!! He lets you know exactly what is expected up front, so there are no surprises.
Value your GPA, and DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFFESOR, under no circumstances! I haven't learned a thing about English in his class! Very vague!
Dr. Dew had some stupid rules. tough about coming in late, takes points off your grade every time you come in late, doesn't like when you use the bathroom. Class stuff wasn't that hard, 2 research papers and 2 tests. Ended up with a B.
Terrible professor. Very sarcastic, makes you feel inferior when you do not understand a poem. Just don't waste your time with this guy!
Dr. dew has an unfair gradinh style
BAD and HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don?t think I have ever hated a teacher this much!!! I am pretty sure that these good comments come from the devil himself!
RUN AWAY!!! Run away and never come back! .... and when you come back make sure you register for another teacher.
Dr. Dew is a not your typical community college professor. He challenges us all to take our studies seriously and I think that is a lesson all young people need to learn. Yes, you will have to work in this class, but this is college! We should feel challenged.
At the beginning of the year everything was fine. Then I missed a test cause I got in a car crash and I didn't get a police report and he never let me retake it... I had photos of it and everything. Our first paper he said people did good. All the people that did 'good' got 75's-80's. I went into the final with a 40! I recommend not choosing him.
Very good teacher and intellectual, his discussions keep you entertained. I would not recommend if you are A SLACKER or if you are not very good at writing properly(His work mostly consists of writing papers).
Very tough grading tests! All tests are essay, 5 pages. His class is interesting. Hes very passionate about American lit. Class not for slackers. their is no just "getting by" in this class. either do your work or dont. Would not reccomend unless you are a literature fanatic. I put alot of effort in his class and still worried about passing
Please retire. If you want a good GPA, he will ruin it for you!
HORRIBLE!
RUN! NOT A JOKE! MAN DOESNT WANT ANYONE TO PASS! DO NOT TAKE HIM!
Loved Dr. Dew! He is strict and requires respect from the class. But if you do the work, pay attention, and show up for class.. you will have no worries. I learned alot from him.. awesome guy!
Do not take him! Grades are awful!Class was helpful, but i tried so hard and he seems that he doesn't want anyone to pass! The only one C i've got in my entire life... I am frustrated.
Dr. Dew is a very passionate and intelligent man; however, he is quite strict. He is not mean, but he is quite frank. He does not GIVE grades, you EARN them. He is not unfair with his grading, he is realistic. If you ask for help, he will do what he can but it is YOU who has to put in the effort. He will only give you a grade you deserve.
Strict, but gives respect to those who follow the rules. His classes are engaging and informaative. Grades are strict to ensure that assignments are done correctly.
Lots of people on here say he is a hard teacher but it's not so. Do the work, follow the class rules, and just follow the instructions. He is strict but it's to keep the class in order. Great Professor, I learned a lot and he is very passionate about English.
Dr. Dew is a good prof & answers everyone's questions. He tries to get everyone to participate. He has rules that if broken will get you a "demerit" which after 2 demerits, will reduce your letter grade by 3 points. So don't break them! Other than that he's cool. Most of the work is writing, but he has interesting topics. P.S. he does debates.
Prof. Dew does not seem to be the happiest man alive, but is an alright teacher. Gets mad if you dont call him Dr. and is kinda strict, but did have some interesting lectures. Would not recommend him though.
When I saw the comments about how difficult he is I thought it was just by the lazy, dumb students. Man was I wrong. He expects you to already be a great writer and he is strict beyond reason. However, the few lectures he gives are extremely interesting and he is obviously passionate about his subject. Take with caution and never be late!
I love Dr. Dew...BUT he is really strict. His class was extremely interesting & beneficial, but I would have to say its nearly impossible to make an A, unless you're already a master writer.
I ENJOYED Dr. Dew...BUT he is really strict. His class was extremely interesting & beneficial, but I would have to say its nearly impossible to make an A, unless you're already a master writer.
A very good teacher!
Horrible professor. Has no leniency for mishaps whatsoever. He is full of himself. Avoid like the plague.
He is a good teacher. His discussions are interesting. Even though I had his class at 8am during the summer 4 times a week, i was able to keep my attention in that class because it was interesting. Though it is really had to get a good grade in the class. He grades really harshly and is strict about tardiness.
The worst professor you could ever take. Do the work and you can make a good grade, but not worth the cost. NOT WORTH THE COSTS!
This teacher is very full of himself. He likes to go one about the books he has written and the fact that he has a. PhD. At first he seems like a reasonable teacher who is a bit strict and has high expect but he is nothing more than a bully. If you like to be taunted and demeaned into doing the class work then this is the class for you.
He is one of the meanest teachers I have ever had the misfortune of taking. He is condescending and rude and thinks he is one step down from God with his PhD and successful novel. If you miss more than a couple days, he takes 3 points off your final grade every day you miss and his tests are impossibly hard. However, he is a GREAT lecturer.
He expects professionalism. Anything less is a waste of your time, not his. This reflects in your grade. The in class writing assignments basically challenge you to make a coherent thought and write it correctly.
Dr. Dew is a great teacher. He is very supportive and let's you know exactly what he expects. Nothing less and nothing more. He expects you to do your part in the class and he definitely does his. I enjoyed the class immensely and learned so much about writing a paper. If you are a serious student, you'll love Dr. Dew.
Very hard to make an A! I tried so hard and he did not let it happen :( English class should not be as hard as he makes it... Do not take him..
Very Mean!!! You definitely have to work very hard to please him and even that may not be good enough.
extremely hard teacher. very strick. military style form of teaching. 3 test all which are 7 page essay written in 70 mins and yes he expect a well thought pages written one page per every 10 min (and this are only the test)...he does have great lectures. unless you're EXTREMELY confident with your writing skills do not take him.
Very strict. He was in the military so he treats everyone as if you were in it too. not clear at all with his grading. I would not recommend this teacher at all.
I love Professor Dew. I took his Honors American Literature II class and it was one of my favorite classes. Make sure you read all of the readings, each test is an essay so attending class and reading is very important. He could be a bit vague on his essay requirements but the class isn't super hard. The discussions were great and engaging.
Very strict on attendance, expects whole dissertations for tests. He has his ideology and in order to pass you have to adhere absolutely. It was an interesting class where we sometimes had decent debates, but I would NOT recommend Dew.
I enjoyed his class but the work was way too much. His "revolutionary ideas" are complete BS. He expected you to become a complete master in the topic you got. Hard grader. Never gave feedback. He is a little too full of himself. If you wanna do the work, take him but he is not easy. He does think he is God tho. Does not help you out much.
Horrible, Horrible Teacher. overly critical of your papers. Beware, unless you love to write long essays all the time, do not take this class.
He is a tough grader and is not very clear when assigning your essay assignments. Take at your own risk.
In all of my college years, I have never earned lower than a C in a course. Jason Dew gave me an F! He failed to let me know that I was just a few points short of getting a C. I hold 1 MA and 3 UG degrees. And yet, he is the worst professor that I've ever had! I never worked so hard to fail in my life! He earns a zero as an instructor!
Dr. Dew was a hard class but I was a great class in the end. The tests were 7 page essays on a question that he wrote on the board but it wasn't that hard because we practiced writing 7 pages in 70 minutes. He was very personable and brought the class to life. He helped tremendously before a final paper was due.
Awful. highly would not recommend. He expects every 8 page essay to be perfect
Dr. Dew is hands down the best teacher I have ever had. I hate english more than anything but he made the class so fun and interesting. He grades fairly, he loves hearing all of his students ideas, and he has a great sense of humor. As long as you do everything he asks, you'll get a good grade. I am definitely taking him again next semester.
Dr. Dew was by far my favorite teacher. This class is for NOT everyone. This class requires determination, a will to work, and a limit to procrastination. Tips: Don't try and change your research subject last minute before the paper is due. Don't text or use a cell phone Actually accept his tips on writing outlines and a clear thesis.
Took online English 1102 and he is truly one of the WORST teachers I have ever had. He is unfairly harsh when grading but what's worse is that he won't tell you why you got the grade you did. When I got a 72 on an essay I asked how to improve and he emailed me back with a 1sentence answer. When He is RUDE and ARROGANT. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS
I have always loved English classes but he made the class a hassle and not an enjoyable experience. He always talks about how he has a PhD and how that makes him so superior to everyne else. Saying he is simply arrogant is letting him off the hook easy. Ended with a good grade but not worth the pain.
he is straight forward, few discussion during the semester. Nice texts to reach which is not boring at all.I would recommend.
Topic Prompts too broad. Wanted 7 page paper written in class with no warning.
Dr. Dew was a great professor and really sparks conversation and debate in his class. I took his class just for the credit but ended up enjoying it so much I took his second class. Be prepared to show up every day and write at home and in class. His use of current events to encourage writing really makes it interesting and engaging.
Horrible professor took his online class and gave me bad grades for not having "good enough" responses. He also wouldn't respond to emails on how I could improve my work.
Dr. Dews Engl1101 class was an absolute waste of money. No grades were given. Feedback was one, maybe two words. NOTHING was taught; Not even explanations on what nouns, verbs, or sentence structure. The class was just a discussion board, some half baked not-reviewed or graded essays. I informed my student resource office and provided proof.
I would not take this class again. He doesn't answer emails, his links are dead and you can't access required course material, and grades you poorly when you misunderstand his information. Requested clarification in class and wouldn't provide any. As a junior, this was an awful experience for an entry-level 1101. My junior classes are easier.
Dr. Dew is the worst professor I have ever had. He did not make himself accessible to students and the feedback he gives on papers are just a few words. Dr. Dew barely taught the entire semester and instead just assigned readings and discussion posts every week. The readings and videos he assigned were also very one sided. AVOID @ ALL COSTS
Professor Dew is a tough Professor, As long as you do your work you shouldn't have a problem.
I submitted my rough draft and he said I can still turn in my final draft. When I did the grade was updated and said 56.67 I told him & he said the dropbox was not meant for a Rough Drft, as such you got the benefit of being reviewed by me. I will adjust the grade but it will be a penalty. He waits until I finish meeting requirements to say this.
Dr. Dew is a phenomenal professor who prepares his students for GSU Atlanta campus and other professional settings. Do not be late to class during a classmates' presentation, while testing or class discussion. He is fair and his grading is clear as everything is on the syllabus. I am looking forward to attending his next class.
He definitely has high expectations for English 1101. You will take 2 exams where he expects you to write 6-7 pages of content in one hour. This was definitely the hardest part of the class but if you pay attention in discussions they will tell you exactly what to write, just pay attention. DO NOT come in late or skip more than two classes.
Jason Dew does not care to interact with his students. He never replies to any emails. He gives very few assignments and grades without a rubric. His grades offer little to no feedback. By all means, take his class if you dare, but he has no sympathy in ruining your gpa.
After my father passed away, I reached out to all of my professors to let them know of the tough times that I was having. Not only was Jason the only professor to not support me, but he punished me for it. Due to my fathers passing, I had fallen behind on work and communicated that with him. I was at my lowest point and he made it even worse.
The course is easy, but unclear grading guidelines with no rubrics make understanding the assignments a nightmare. Unhelpful feedback. Good luck recovering if you get a bad grade. 0/10 do not recommend.
Jason Dew's ENG1101 class is no walk in the park. Expect rigorous writing assignments and strict attendance policies. But if you put in the effort, the class can be quite rewarding. Unstuckstudy was a lifesaver for study prep.
I wouldn't take him again only because of his tough grading. Even if small errors were made, you couldn't simply fix them. His feedback wasn't clear and it sometimes purposely seemed like he was trying to fail students. Overall, I wouldn't recommend his online class.
Not bitter at all about getting a C in literature but he is a tough grader which is not understandable for ENGL 1101 because I got an A on ENGL 1102 with a different prof. Also does not show what is your total grade until the end of the sem. If you have no choice, make sure to PROOF READ, think out of the box while you write and do all of the work.
I took his class online, but it took me four assignments to start getting good grades bc he was so unclear in his feedback. Light workload, but you must do it on time because he does not seem lenient. He grades your work for what it is. As long as you do exactly what he directs, then you will do well.
