I absolutely hated English, but the guy helped make it bearable. He has a gradual but steady learning curve. Beginning with simple 1 page essays and peaking at 5-6 pagers. Even if some work was good enough for the beginning of the semester, Gray's standards will become more stringent as time goes on.

Class is discussion and participation heavy (but they were great). There is readings and hwk that will be relevant to the overall class so try not to miss it. Nothing horrible to say, but do the work and he is easy to talk to so don't be scared to ask for his guidance on your essays if need be.

Professor Gray provided great feedback when asked questions about how to write my essay. As well, with our SI, Amber, I slowly learned how to write better as I never attended High School. I felt his grading was relaxed, especially if he sees potential. Do keep in mind, however, is the class can get a bit "political" and talk about current events.
