He's so funny, as in weird and interesting to be around! He uses gestures a lot!
Cutie Pie!!!!
Mr. Wholstadter was such a great teacher. He will really help you out if you're not quite understanding things, he's very understanding and patient, and his required books are actually really interesting.
He is very helpful and very nice. He will explain something untill he is blue in the face to make sure everyone is on the same page. The work load isn't too bad and he picks out interesting books for the class to read. He is a very good teacher, I would pick him again as a teacher.
He's an english teacher and is a great one!!
No Comments
What a great teacher! He is interesting, energetic, funny, clear, and creative. I wish I could take more classes from this guy. The class time seemed to fly by. Highly recommend!
BORING BORING BORING!!!!!!!!!! my hair really turned gray because he is so freakin boring, no challage, no excitment, nothing!! just like my ex boyfriend! do it for the easyness, but a few days with this guy and you are going to go crazy. oh ya, he's not hott, he looks like that boy from Brave Little Toster.
I have never had such a great English class! Awesome! Highly recommend!
he's an ok teacher. his class is really boring. he's always happy it's so annoying. he is not a fair grader and i learned nothing in his class.
GoodTeacher. Jason can however explain stuff so much that it become boring. Hegives alot of help on essays and is awesome to talk to out of class. He does a terrible job pronoucing everyones names at first but goes to a lot of effort to learn who people are
Great teacher. Boring, but great.
Jason Wohlstadter was is an amazing teacher. He is passionate about what he does and very knowledgeable. Weekly quizzes, two major tests and papers... otherwise not much work. And it does not hurt that he is very good looking...
Thoughtful, caring and sensitive man. He's very encouraging when you participate in class, so do it. READ, because he asks right out of the book. Witty and passionate about english. I thought the material was a little dry, but his interest in it helps. Overall, I liked his class.
I had him a few semesters ago, and I liked him a lot. He seems to care about his students, and you can tell he really loves english. I also enjoyed reading Nickel and Dimed. Very good, considering it was maditory reading! PS: He's verrry good looking. I think he deserves an extra chilli pepper!
I am an English major, and although I learned to 'dig deeper' when writing, my other writing skills are starting to fade because he grades based on thoughtfulness in essays instead of grammar and structure.
He is a very nice guy, and the workload isn't bad at all. Its one essay per unit(4 Units) and two in class essays.However, he grades like there is no tomorrow. Most of the class would get C's and B's on essays. He expects too much out of his students. Overall, not that bad.
Wohlstadter is a great teacher, WAY better than the evil demon i had last semester. Hes a real cool guy, i got a B on the class without Busting my butt.VERY helpful.He gives 4 essays, all very easy to do, lots of group work so that was helpful, homework was read, n goes though it in class. Just come to class, its a breeze Overall Exellent teacher.
Great prof. I learned a lot from him. He does care a lot about you own thoughts..he's very big on that. Overall he's great!! 4 essays, and 2 in class essays. That was pretty much all we did.
He is the best english teacher I ever had. He really cares about your overall grade. He wants you to learn. Very easy if you go to class and do the work.
He is a great Prof. He repeats himself which is helpful so that you are clear on what he is asking you to do. Attend class, take notes, and ask questions. Start the essays as soon as the assignment is given. Part of his grading philosophy is based on your efforts - easy A.
Head for the hills! This guy is horrible.
Where do i begin, Yes it is true Jason's class can be boring however i did learn alot..his repetitiveness and clarity is effective in class because you wont miss a thing he is saying, through his analysis on the readings he helps you write your essay with examples. i took him for 101, and 103. he never puts aon the spots , Recommended!
I look forward to his class. You do have to put full effort into his assignments. He assigns four essays & two in class essays. He makes you write other stuff too but it turns out only the essays make up your grade. We only used the book for the first half of the semester. My advice is to save yourself the money and photo copy in library if time.
If you have to take english look for Different teacher. I took him for basic english and it was more like critical thinking then basic english. We spent maybe a week on basic . The rest of the time was spent over thinking crap.
Never take this guy!!!! Your better off reading Dr. Seuss books to learn english. Complete waste of time.
This teacher rating are wrong.He wants to know about your past.All his essays are related to family some how. He also does Peer Review and Peer Editing. I don't like the students in the class to judge me on how I write. There is also journal about #16 of them for the semester. So if you don't like that I wouldn't take his English class at all.
Great teacher. took him for 103. not easy class but is interesting and he makes it pretty good for 103. definately recommend him for 103.
This teacher is not a very good teacher the rating on him are wrong. He dosn't teach very well, with him you have to read between the lines. He never talks straight, he talks around in circles. It is hard to know what he is talking about. When you ask him a question he doesn't give you a straight anwser to your question.
Most of your grade is based on the essays you write. He grades pretty hard so it ended up being a challenging class. Overall though it was a pretty solid class, if anything it seemed worthy of being a college Enlish class, which makes sense as to why it was challenging.
Well organized with an enthusiasm for the subject matter that is infectious. Attendance, reading, & writing are required, but nothing unreasonable. The syllabus was so full that unfortunately we did not have a great deal of time for class discussion, making things feel rushed. He is kind, articulate, knowledgeable, & professional.
Professor Wohlstadter is great and goes out of his way to help his students.
Professor Wohlstadter gives plenty of time to complete essays and makes sure his students are prepared. He is great and goes out of his way to help his students.
If he is a bad teacher, I surely wouldn't be taking him for the third time. See you in fall! A+
Jason is a fantastic teacher, I only wish all my teachers were as clear and helpful as him.
Great teacher!!! Will you teach how to be a good writer. You just have to work for it. But he is very helpful, and super nice.
Jason "The Stad" Wohlstadter is my hero!!
He's an awesome teacher! Very helpful and wayy too nice. 4 essays, 2 in class essays, and a bunch of journals! IF you want to improve your writing and become a better writer, than I recommended Jason over ANY other teacher!
I took professor Wohlstadter for English 50 and English Lit. 137 and he is the best. He eat sleeps and lives english. He has his is Dr. a PHD of english. He has mad skills that aren't no joke. LOVE HIM!!!!
I hated English until I took Jason's class. He was very interested in the students and willing to help all the time. He was crystal clear, and if I could take his class over and over again. I would. He's a hero in my eyes.
Jason is by far my favorite teacher. He explained things clearly, and he was super helpful! Truthfully, I didn't think I was smart enough to move into English 101, but because of Jason, I feel that I'm good enough, and I'm glad. If you take this teacher, you'll definitely be inspired like I was, and you'll learn so much in his class.
He was a great professor. 4 essay, a midterm, and the final are basically your grade. There are around 10 quizes on vocabulary if that. There are also 16 journals throughtout the semester, but they're easy. YOU NEED TO COME TO CLASS! He takes role everyday ad that counts towards your participation points. I would reccommend Wohlstadter to everyone!
Overall easy class. There are 4 out of class essays, and 2 inclass essays. The textbooks are needed to complete all assignments. There are a few vocab quizzes, but are very easy and he makes everything easy to learn. He does take role everyday. He is very understanding and always there to help. EXCELLENT PROFESSOR!!!!
I would highly recommend taking him for any of your english classes. He was always in a good mood and worked hard until everyone was on the same page. If any of his students need help he is there to help them 100% of the time. He is an awesome teacher! I hope I get into his class this semester!
This was a great teacher for english. He is super helpful, and guides you all the way. Will definitely try to take him again. Work was not to difficult, basic common sense.
Jason is a very excellent professor. he's very clear on assignments and everything is pretty basic. Basically we have 4 essays and 2 in class essay he does give out some grammer quizes but they are extremely easy. my only complaint is that he's a very strict grader when it comes with the essays. overall a really good professor!
Great teacher. very animated. lots of reading and a lot of quiz's on the reading. two take home essays and two in class essay,short answer,identification exams.
I loved having him as a professor. There was a lot of reading and a lot of analysis, but it was a great class overall. He is a very understanding professor and he has so much fun teaching the class and makes it fun for the students.
The subject material is on war which I was not too interested in before this class but after taking it I feel well educated on war. I enjoyed the class discussions and the more you participate in them the clearer the class becomes. Reading mostly consists of short essays. Flexible on what to write in your essays. Very enjoyable class.
You can tell he is really passionate about his job. He has a very balanced lesson plan and I'm only bored in his class when there are guest speakers. Overall a very simple class if you already know how to write essays (MLA, Grammar, ect.) I would definivly recommended this class.
Mr. Wohlstadter is an amazing professor! I really enjoyed his class and as long as you do the work (which isn't hard) then you'll pass. If you're struggling you can ask for help in class, via email, or during office hours and he is extremely helpful! Definitely recommend him for 101
He is a great teacher. Very nice and laid-back. He gives alot of advice for assignments and makes it easy to achieve.
He talks to you like your six years old and explains things over and over like you are a first grader. There is seriously just days when you work on grammar, like commas, for like two weeks straight. You shouldn't be explaining grammar in 101, that's what 50 is for. Do NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!
Professor Wohlstadter is a great professor. He is very clear on assignments and his grading is fair. He is good at emailing students and always welcomes you to his office hours if you have questions. Make sure you're on time and participate!
Talks down to you. Spends weeks explaining simple grammar tactics. Tells you what you should improve on in papers and when you do exactly what he tells you, you still get knocked points down. Books are not too essential. You can just borrow from a friend or get quotes online. You can miss days of class&still come back to the same lecture
I wish all of my teachers were like Jason. He communicates well, and is there if you have any questions. He grades average to hard, but over the course of the semester I went from getting a D on my first essay to getting an A in the class because of his feedback. I worked hard for it, but that's what felt so great. Take the course, don't hesitate!
He is by far the best English teacher I've taken. He's the ideal teacher everyone wants. He makes sure to make all things clear to his students & makes everyone feel included. He also engages everyone & makes the class fun. He does, however, take his job seriously, so he grades tough (not too tough). Just participate & you'll do just fine.
Professor Wohlstadter was such a great guy! He made english so much fun. Yeah, everyone has read or at least heard of Frankenstein, but he makes reading it and writing about the book a new experience. Also, he's pretty funny and cute in a dorky way. Definitely recommend him. As long as you take what feedback he gives and APPLY IT you should do fine
Jason is a very funny teacher. His classes are always fun to be in, and though he lectures through almost the entire class, he keeps them interesting and interactive. He only assigned two essays for this course, and there were two more in class essays on the midterm and final. Quizzes every other week or so, over-all a fun experience.
Wohlstadter is by far the best teacher I've ever taken. He cares about his students grades and how well they are understanding the material. You definitely need to be in class, but it is not a waste of your time. I learned a lot in his class and I would take another class with him again.
Great teacher! He's very helpful when it comes to writing essays. There's vocal quizzes, but they're very easy. The reading seems like a lot, but it's doable. This class was really easy, and he's very good at explaining!
Get ready to read a lot, but it's pretty interesting. He loves Wuthering Heights and no one else does and it's hilarious. He's pretty conscious of social issues and it's really cool to see that in a teacher. He get's so excited about the material he's teaching it's adorable. He's really nice and funny and gives good feedback. Would take again!
I took Professor Wohlstadter a few semesters ago and I am glad I did. The assigned readings were interesting and easy to follow. His instructions on the assignments were clear and if we had any questions, he was more than willing to answer and help. He shows that he cares about the success of his students. I recommend his class to everyone!
Took his class Mondays-Thursdays. He likes all of his students to participate which is not asking too much. Essays were pretty clear and easy. He turned me into a good essay writer honestly. He's pretty straight forward and blunt. I wish he was teaching 101 next semester. Its better not to miss because you will learn new material everyday
Coolest dude ever. He's super into his lectures and I would definitely take his 101 class. So helpful and caring. Goes off topic sometimes and does this thing with his hands that makes him hilarious. My favorite professor. It's an easy A but I did have some struggles on my essays which he gives great feedback on. Really wants to see you succeed.
Mr. W is an awesome professor. He's very enthusiastic about his job. He's cool and funny and easy to talk to. He cares about making sure his students understand what they are learning. I appreciated all of his advice on my essays. Too bad he isn't teaching ENG 101 next semester, if he was, I would've gladly taken his class again.
Really cares about his students, supper funny, and focused. Went on tangents sometimes but was always able to bring it back to the main point. Read in class and outside of class a lot but the books he assigned were really interesting and worth reading. Six essays in all, but they all had good and interesting prompts, and more than willing to help.
He is a very nice teacher, and I really worked very hard in this class, I started writing my essays a week in advance and I still got C in it. He is very difficult to grade, He expected a lot from the students, but he is also very approachable to help you. I learned a lot in his class. You will have homework and participation is very important.
He was so easy and hilarious. In class tests are super easy He also likes the students to participate in class discussions does not give a lot of assignments. Also hes a fair grader give a little effort and you'll pass the class.
Gives really good feedback on essays and I loved the books we read
he is amazing, i suck at english and i passed his class no problem. I learned so much and the reading assigned was awesome and i hate reading. Take him he will be a breeze and i wish he taught all subjects. He truly is an amazing teacher. Test,easy. Essays, easy. Quiz,easy. Reading,easy. I promise youll pass if you show up and try at least a little
Professor Wohlstadter was great! He is very nice and explains EVERYTHING very thoroughly. You will not be confused about what is expected of you. He helps you out as much as he can and is also very patient. I wish he were instructing ENG 101
Work and grading is fairly easy and clear. Specifies what is expected in your essay. He will make down any incorrect punctuations especially commas and run ons. Books that are being read in class is easy and straight forward content. He seems like he tries too hard to be funny and at times very awkward, but overall a great class!
Good!
He is one of the most amazing teachers who loves his job and cares about his students. He explains everything very well in class, and he leads the students in a right way to work on their essays. He is not an easy grader teacher at all, but he gives good feedback on papers , and he tries to do his best to help the students pass the class.
One of the most inspirational teachers who loves teaching and cares about his students. Explains things very well so you can understand it. Very helpful, very respectful, his lectures are amazing.
Wohlstadter is an amazing professor. I got an A in the course, theres a lot of work but as long as you put the effort in its manageable. I loved his lectures and hes so funny that the class is so enjoyable.
I didn't think I would really like this class since I didn't like English in high school. But who knew? Mr. Wohlstadter is a great teacher. He is caring of his students and their opinions. He explains things and encourages you to explore other ways of writing. I recommend anyone who takes english 100 to take his class. I really enjoyed it.
By far the best English teacher I've had so far in college.
Helpful, specific on giving feedback both + & -, 6 essays in total. Lots of class discussions with him and as groups. Doesn't make you feel dumb at all! decent amount of homework for English, extra credit, overall great person. 7 yrs after high school scared of English but left confident than ever. He needs to teach the staff on how to teachEng100
He is an amazing instructor. He truly wants all of his students to be successful in his class and provides so much support and information to pass his class. There is a lot of busy work but it is very easy as long as you are on track. I would recommend him to any mjc student. I grew in his class and gained so much confidence in English.
Hes a good teacher and very helpful. Grading is a little weird and difficult to figure out.
Interesting guy but cares about your being able to follow along in the class. Theres a decent amount of reading but not bad. Overall a good instructor to take.
The textbook required is one he put together and you read all the articles so youre not wasting your money! Hes a great professor, definitely recommend
he offers alot of extra credit as long as you attend and do all your assigments you will do good.. he is a really good teacher and very understsnding if you need help he will do his best to help you. i will defenetly recomend him. i took him for english 100 and its contract based
Very good professor very helpful and grading clear cut. There is reading and a discussion due everyday and a lot of essay. Stay organized and do the readings and you will pass!
Professor Wohlstadter is a really good teacher. You pretty much have homework every day of the class, but it's doable and super easy. The only thing that would make you worry is the Mees which if your essay is perfect you will have it. You just need to follow directions and stay in contact which him. It is an easy class but makes you work.
Mr. Wohlstadter is a great Professor. His class is contract grading and based on 4 quizzes, homework and 6 essays as well as extra credit which he offers a lot. He is patient with students and offers lots of support. I honestly think anyone can pass his class because he does everything he can to help his students learn and pass.
Professor Wohlstadter is my favorite teacher I have ever had. He is so nice and really cares about how you are doing in the class. He wants to know everyone so he can communicate effectively. I have taken his two of his classes now, and both times, I have been blown away by how nice he is. Definitely take his classes, you will not regret it.
Professor Wohlstadter is great! Most of the assignments in the class I took were discussion boards, and there are 4 essays to write, but you learn a lot about argumentative writing in his online English 103 class. He responds to emails very quickly; he is very professional. Overall, I really enjoyed taking from him.
Probably the best English class and English professor Ive ever taken. Very clear instructions, you will succeed if you follow instructions and do the work. Gives great feedback. Took this class online, only one $10 book required. Take this class, you wont regret it!
This professor is just amazing. I have taken his class in person and online. Took his class for 101 and 103. He is just awesome. He cares about you! Will always send reminders and gives feedback after grading your assignment and essays. He is just so awesome! You will not regret taking his class!
Jason is a great professor and wants his students to succeed in his class and pass! he may talk a little bit about his personal life which is not necessary. if you mention you taking one of his colleagues from another English course he will be more than happy to help you succeed! great guy and super helpful!
Mr. Wohlstadter is an English-teaching gem. His assignments are totally doable with other courses as long as you stay on top of them and plan accordingly. The required book was 10$ on Amazon. He gives great feedback, cares about your success, and is always quick to respond to questions. Take his class! You wont regret it.
Professor Wohlstadter, is an amazing teacher. He really cares for his students and makes sure that they are getting their work done. If you ever find yourself falling behind he will be there to make sure you get it done. It's an easy A if you do all your work and turns it in on time. I recommend taking him but there is a lot of essays
This professor is amazing! He gives very good feedback on every assignment, and really cares about his students. I would definitely take a class with him again. Not any more writing than you would expect from any other English class.
He knows how to teach very well. The best professor MJC has to offer.
Take this Professor for 101 and 103. His class is well structured, readings are interesting, and assignment expectations are clear. You really cant get any better than this. Also, stop by his office hours - he gives good tips on upcoming essays and is a very cool guy! Au revoir Prof W!
this was a good class and the professor was great but I hated the grading in this class. 80 percent of the grading is based on 4 papers. 20 percent is homework and quizzes. I got an A in this class but barely and he grades papers hard so the to get an A in this class you need to be able to write well. Overall great class other than that.
Dr. Wohlstadter is an excellent professor and incredibly knowledgeable. He is always willing to help a student. His workload is very reasonable and easily managed, and he themes his class in a very interesting way.
Professor Wohlstadter is easily one of the best teachers I've had at MJC. He is extremely dedicated to his students and replies to emails very quickly which is great since online classes can sometimes be confusing. He gives great feedback on assignments, especially essays, and is very clear on assignment directions.
Professor Wohlstadter goes above and beyond any other instructor. He has ruined my MJC experience because he set the bar so high. I know that moving forward, professors will never put in the amount of effort as Mr. Wohlstadter. I always love his feedback and how much info he provides. You are never lost in his class.
Dr. Wohlstadter teaches. Everything a student needs to know and understand in the course is provided. All you have to do it follow directions and manage your time. He provides clear and direct information and guidance and has great learning opportunities integrated into essay and researcher writing. I really enjoyed this class.
Great professor I will suggest to see him during his office hours. He will provide feedback on what exactly he is expecting.
Great professor who really cares about setting his students up for success. He isn't too strict about late work which helps a lot.
The best English Professor I've had. Super kind, and caring. He's wonderful at constructive criticism and he never says anything nasty or unreasonable. I highly recommend you go with him if you're hoping for an online class!
Dr. Jason Wohlstadter is very prompt on responses to questions, and has a lot of resources in the form of slides and clearly outlined material that is engaging. Jason provides careful and considerate feedback in areas of improvement and focus and offers a lot of extra credit opportunities.
Professor Wohlstadter is a cool dude. I enjoyed his lectures, he was hilarious at times. There is some reading but he gives us enough time to do the work.
professor wohlstadter although very kind and often funny was just simply not a good fit for me. He has a very unique teaching style which caused me stress. He grades essays very harshly and marks you down for the smallest mistakes. a very kind teacher just did not like his teaching style
Jason is considerate; an excellent communicator! kind and thoughtful feedback offered, encouragement, and careful wording for areas of improvement, he's interested in helping everyone get to their future goals! Other faculty can learn from him how to engage students towards motivation & trust in the process which will increase their successfulness.
I took Wohlstadter in my first semester of college and had a great experience. I feel like my writing improved quite a bit throughout the semester because of the structure of his class and the well-developed lessons he'd provide. The essays were very straight-forward, and it felt pretty stress-free when writing them. No complaints, take him.
He was a very fun Professor. He would get off topic at times and would run out of time almost always but the time in class was worth it. He gives amazing feedback on essays to help you improve. There are a lot of online quizzes but it's manageable. You also do group work in class so be ready for that!
Great teacher who gives great feedback on homework/essay's. He was quick to respond to questions and is very understanding. His work load is about what you'd expect for an English class but I never felt overwhelmed by it. Overall, an awesome class.
Professor Wohlstadter is an excellent communicator who provides clear guidance and feedback. The class is manageable with the help of resources like unstuckstudy and the free textbook. Definitely take this course if you want an engaging and supportive learning experience.
I was so scared to take an English class because I've always felt terrible at writing essays, but professor Wohlstadter broke everything down step by step and made the process enjoyable. They made essays feel manageable, and the readings they chose were so inspiring. He is super approachable and gives thoughtful feedback on assignments.
This is NOT a English course this is a Ethnic studies class. Your learning more about culture and history then proper English adjustments. Wohlstadter is a funny and really nice guy. When it comes to the teaching aspect not at all good I would personally find someone else if your trying to improve your English because if not enjoy Ethnics class!
Most of the work in his class is either group work or class discussion. His essays felt very restrictive and felt more like we were learning about the topic we were writing about than learning how to actually write or use rhetoric. Aside from this, he's a very nice professor and was very caring throughout the course.
This professor was heaven sent everything was straight forward and reliable to answer any questions
Wow, just wow! This is the type of lectures I wish we could replicate for all classes. Instructions are clearly given, teamwork is often a required, and the learning environment is always an excellent, comfortable zone. I absolutely recommend you to take this course. Reading and writing is obviously required but don't be discouraged, it's not bad.
