You learn a lot and your own interpretation is not judged against you.

Good teacher, obviously misunderstood. Doesn't step on students' opinions.

Loves theatre students, if they work. You will learn something i

Weird but nice

He is sooo funny. The class is great if you want to learn.

Wondeful course, great guy to speak to.

Easy grader, has a different scale for grading

Great guy, definately take him, teaches much more in between his lines

Really smart professor - fun classes and insightful. take all of his classes!

Very helpful if you ask him.

Crazy but sweet guy, easy if you want to do good, will work with you

Great teacher. Makes learning fun. A class that will actually improve your eng

Great teacher! Very nice. He loves to sing in class!

He is a good teacher if you are willing to put in some effort.

He loves to sing in class but he is willing to help you when you need it. He is a nice teacher and as long as you are respectful he has a fun sense of humor.

Be prepared to to work very hard to get a good grade.He is very helpful if you ask for it.He does ramble on and sings,but he is a nice teacher.

Funny guy, does ramble on but very helpful. Class is a bit borring some days, sticks to syl. One test final is a paper you work on then turn in day of. Lets you leave early sometimes.

Great course, makes you think about literature, never liked reading until now

Very nice guy and always willing to help, very entertaining, cares about you learning, does have emotional breakdowns but hes had a hard life

Good guy, however occasionally lets his politics get in the way of his judgement of written material. Typical left leaning prof

He is an extremely intelligent, and sensitive man. I enjoyed this class because he challenges his students. Talk to him and he will help you along. Grades on improvement, and is a really nice man inside. Good class.

Great guy, he's tough, but isn't that college? He will challenge you a lot, and is a real sweetheart!

GREAT TEACHER! Very insightful, humorous, and entertaining. "Name That Tune Quiz" is the best performance you can ever see for free!!! Really knows his stuff, slightly particular, and full of great stories. There was never a boring day!!!

He's very intelligent and knows how to communicate to his students effectively.

He seems like hes just been through too many frusterating semesters. He gets pushed around - No one listens to him and then they patronize him to the breaking point. He does have trouble with his temper but I cant really blame him. Will be bullied into changing due dates often.

Nice guy at heart. Gets frustrated with students from time to time. Can blow up, but apologizes. Pretty religious, lets his beliefs influence his teaching. Trys to challenge you and make you think.

Pretty level headed in with the lit class. Nice guy, makes sure that the readings aren't something you've already heard a thousand times before. Mixes it up a bit. I would take his class again.

He's WONDERFUL for Lit. However, his Comp class leaves a bit to be desired. He's a very nice and VERY intelligent person, but he lets his personal biases get in the way and sometimes grades papers harshly when he disagrees. Don't expect an A, but a B is not hard to get in his classes.

Dr. Loomis is a great professor- you just have to get to know him. Overall he is very fair- he will work with you, but you have to do your part.

I agree, Dr. Loomis is wonderful- take his class, and see...

I really liked Dr. Loomis!

Dr. L is a great prof! and most students will agree with this...

Weird at first. Once you're in his class for a little while he seems somewhat normal. Nice guy. Easy grader. Put very little effort into papers and came out with a B. But, as I mentioned before...very weird. Don't let him scare you away at first.

Wonderful Teacher! These other comments are lies, just take Loomis and you'll like him- promise!

*** Dr. Loomis is a delightful and intelligent individual- being a recent Northwest graduate, I can say that he was the best professor I had.*** BY THE WAY, I WAS A PE MAJOR- AND I GOT AN "A" IN THE CLASS---TRUST ME, YOU WILL LIKE HIM,.EASY WAY TO GET ENG 112 OUT OF THE WAY (ALSO HAD FOR 111)

Had Dr. Loomis for Intro to Lit. Was very helpful, and made class easy. Very funny and always supportive. Recommend for any student!

This teacher is good, like him very much. I find him to be easy. You will like him, easy way to finish gen ed requirement

Good Teacher. Had for Lit Class, will take for eng112. Students in class like him. easy.

Just grad from Northwest. Had Dr. Loomis for Eng 112. Great prof, if I had any problems, was very helpful. Very understanding and supportive.

Regarding the previous comment(below) re the two tests...The person did not mention that it was a summer class(4 weeks in to 16 wks) With the traditional sem (Fall/Spring), there is much more flexability.

Give Jeff a break! He is a good teacher- He is the only prof I liked at Northwest.

I had to write 5 papers but one was a revision, allows late homework and willing to help. He gave me all the info for my research paper. Overall a fair teacher, I would probably take him again. It is not a slack off class but not impossible either. He is real goofy!!! Easily gets off subject.

If willing to work, so is he. Knowledgeable. If you come to him for help, instead of just complaining and whining about it, he'll help you. Passionate, can't help but want to try. High expectations.Goodness forbid you actually have to work for something. Listen, pay attention, and put forth the effort, and you'll succeed.Don't expect an easy class.

Personally I LOVED THE GUY..!! He was really cool and down to earth. Loved cracking jokes with us, guess you could say we had a good group. Way to intelligent though. You ask him a question and he pretty much gives you an answer as if you were one of his grad students or he repeats what he just said. Great teacher I highly recommend him!!

Very understanding guy, if you go to him for help, have gone to class consistently, and remotely pay attention in class, he will do anything to help you out. If you do not write well he will help you fix whatever your problem is. Three research type essays, as well as a couple creative type essays throughout the semester.

He's nice, and he will give you a rubric, which tells everything you need. Grammar and dictation are also important, n it varies by ppl. Anyway do your best. He's VERY fair grader.

He is a very fair teacher. He tells you what he expects out of you and gives good examples of papers he expects you to write. There is no set amount you have to write for each paper; just long enough to get your point across. We even watched movies in his class.

Took for Composition 2. Is a fair teacher, and has the entire semester planned out in the syllabus, so you can finish early on your essays if you want. He is a nice, but silly old man, and sometimes gets pushed around by the class. Not a hard class if you respect him.

Decent Teacher. Interacts with students a lot in class, but he picks favorites. Tests are hard, but there's only one or two. We watch movies often so its cool. 5 papers from what I know. We spend days in class just critiquing other papers too. Def fun to talk to

This guy was, uh, different. But actually a good teacher.

I personally liked Dr. Loomis. If you are respectful to him then you will be fine. Turn in all of your assignments on time and you should not have a problem. Put thought into your papers and proof read. There were a few mistakes in some of my papers that he overlooked because they were minor. Not hard to pass his class, just do assignments.

This class was hard. That being said, I have never learned so much from a professor or from a class. He was an extremely opinionated and hard to like human being and he grades tough. Honestly if you read the packet and book before quizzes and have him proofread your paper, you should pass with an A while learning a lot too.
