He is one of the best teacher I have ever had. I learned a lot from him. Some students think that his class is too tough, but you would never learn true knowledge without challengeing. I like his style very much.

his assingments are rough but hell work with you if you ask him. hes a real cool guy and youll learn alot from his class.

Well, I don't know about you all but I think he's hott!!! I love his teeth, his smile, his educated/educating brain. Forget the assignments, I just showed up to look at him.

He is a great professor, very clear in his assignments, very knowledgeable, extremely intelligent guy and finally he is incredibly hot but the worst dresser ever.

hes a real good teacher, he has great stories and keeps your attention. the papers are a bit difficult but whan writing papers what one is easy.

Prob my favorite teacher yet, Very fun. He loves boxing. I took him in the summer, and he was very laid back. Makes boring stories interesting. Loves Hamlet a little too much. ;-)

One of my favorite teachers every, this guy loves literature and it definately shows.

He is HOT!! But he would look a lot better if he cut his hair. Oh yeah, he's pretty good at the professor thing as well.

great teacher. interesting discussions, not always about english.

I was leary about him when I first saw him, but once I heard him read poetry I melted. He is smart, beautiful and really well educated. If you really want to learn something take his class. He's nice to look at too.

Great teacher. Class was easy, he made it fun and interesting.

goes over every bit of text. down to earth and easy to talk to. explains papers in detail. however he is horrible with his attendance policy. if your late 1 min your absent. be on time or fail.

Take him! you will be better at writing essays afterword. make sure you go to the writing center. Hey, he teaches Hamlet, what more do you want! I mean, does it get any better than that! I don't think so.

I recommend him to anyone. You'd better take english with him than with any other freak. Young, nice and good communication skills. He mixes english with AML but as long as you go to class nothing is hard. Average appearance, but girls like anyone with power, right?

Nice laid back attitude. he allows you to express your opinions about a variety of literary topics. Best of all his outline is easy to follow and he encourages his students to improve with their writing.

he is my fav teacher that ive ever had..i wanted to fail the class just to take it again..he is awesome, he is so intelligent and you will learn alot in his class. he is highly highly recommended

Great teacher! The work is definately hard but well worth it. He really makes you think and tought me to analyze literature in a whole new way!! You will definately work for your grade in his class but you will learn!! A++++++++++

a lot of writing

hes really hot!!! listening to him resight poetry was awesome!

He's okay.

SOOOOOOOOO HOTT..and you will walk away with alot of knowledge..

This guy is HOT!! He actually made class fun to attend (aside from his good looks!) and made otherwise dry text material interesting. If he teached every subject, I would register every class with him.

MAKES CLASS FUN AND SOMETHING TO LOOK AT WHILE YOU LEARN

I have never laughed so hard in all my classes. Not only does he actually like the things that he is teaching, but he teaches them with such vigor It makes him the ideal teacher for classic lit because students often feel disconnected from that part of their education. Its hard to see why one would study such things and he gives you a reason. Grade A in teaching Just don’t be fooled He’s no easy A, You’re gonna work if you wanna pass his class in good standing.

He is always willing to explain an assignment multiple times, for those who may not understand it. Also, he loves tangents, which helps ina way because everyone doesn't get so bored while there sitting in class for either an hour and a half or possible 3 hours. He makes class fun to go to. I come home every night talking about it.

He is soooo HOT! Hard class, but I learned a lot from him.

So incredibly gorgeous that if I had the balls to, I would ask him out. I was so upset when the course was over! So fun to listen to, and really teaches you how to interpret literature. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to learn as opposed to someone who just wants to skate by. Mr. Rubenstein, I love you!

Mr. Rubinstein is my DAWG!!(of course he would not go for that type of language)But he is my buddy and he is really funny. He goes on these crazy tangents. Everyday I go home after his class i'm always talking about hoe good it was. TAKE HIM because he is awesome!!!

he wanted to talk about sports and politics (mainly how much he hates bush) the entire class, almost every class too! It was so frustrating! Alot of times we would have to remind him that it was an english class and that we needed to do something that related to it. He is funny, but it gets old after a month.

Personally not being from this country and speaking a pretty bad english i took him and think he is awsome!!!! he helped me a lot with everything.. as long as you are willing to work then you will be just fine!!!!i recommend him for everybody!!!

He is so funny, laid back and makes english interesting. I also had him for IDS connections and I would take him again if I could. Plus I think he's kinda cute with the long hair.

Easygoing,no notes, the readings are done in class, the only play is also done in class, no homework. You have the whole semester to do the essays, and I was impressed that I turned all the essays on the last day, and got a B.I'm really happy, and will take him again.He lets you write your essays again.FOLLOW THE PROPER FORMAT!

awesome teacher. Yes, I had to work hard, but I had a great time in his class. Just study, turn in your essays on time, attend every class, and participate. If you do that, then you should be just fine.

I took him for eng2 and his online IDS class. These people who write on here that he's not a good teacher must have been the one's who didn't ever go to class. He's an excellent teacher. I am a better writer than I was before his class. He is very clear about how he wants things done and goes by his schedule. He is eye candy too! Highly recommended

Great teacher, the material is challenging but he explains everything out in plain english. He's passionate about teaching, and loves to go on tangents which isnt a bad thing. It distracts from the class material which can be pretty intimidating. It puts you at ease. He's a cool knowledgable guy. He is one of my favorite teachers of all time.

I think Reubinstien is a pretty fair teacher (as fair as most are- ha-ha), but the course shouldn't have been called "Late American Liturature," it should have been called, "As I Lay Dying 101." He was only concerned with Modernism, and was rather narcissistic about his world-veiw; which he spent most of the class time on.

I had him for English II. He will put you to work, but it's worth it. He's a genuinely good teacher that will inspire you...if you let him!

I would highly recommend this teacher to anyone who wants to learn something. He does grade very hard, but only to motivate his students. He is a genuinely good teacher that doesn't rely on a text book to teach his classes. He will inspire you...if you let him!

Funny as hell. Great teacher. Good class. Knows his stuff. Taken his class twice. As long as you take notes in class and make sure you read the works and ask questions you will def pass the class. Highly recommended!!

His topics are intereting.

I have done relatively well in his online class. Other than the occasional group e-mail, there isn't much teacher/student communication so I can't really comment on his teaching method or his "cockiness". But it wasn't too bad overall - taking ENCII w/ him next.* *Opinion subject to change if I get a bad grade - LOL

this guy is a great teacher. i got a B just because i was late the majority of the time. i would have had an A. overall, the class was extremely easy. he always went off on tangents, no big deal though. i would recommend him to anyone and would take him over if i had to.

Rubinstein is my favorite teacher on the HCC campus... he has a passion for what it is he is teaching. His classes are somewhat difficult, but they challenge your mind. I have taken him for 1101 1102 and Am Lit. and I will be taking him again for IDS. He knows all kinds of fun facts that he throws in to make it fun, and he is just a great teacher.

Great professor, I would recommend him to anyone taking an english class and willing to learn.

He is a good teacher. Really nitpicky about assignments, but challenging. He sometimes goes off on tangents about politics or sports for like half the class, but he does funny impersonations and is a fun teacher to have. You will learn a lot and be entertained.

Great teacher. He is very interesting and the class flies by. Don't take him if you expect an easy "A" or are a slacker; you work hard but learn a lot.

Do not take him if you want an easy A. His grading scale is harder 92 is an A 82 is a B and so on... Very interesting and entertaining guy. Starts class with random discussions which can be fun, definitely goes off on tangents.Very opinionated but fair grader. You have to do the work and read the assignments. I got an A! and he LOVES Hamlet!! a LOT

I took English 1 online. My final grade was a B, but I was missing one essay. I thought that he was a pretty good professor. The book I got ended up being the wrong version, or "slightly off", but even with that, the class was fairly easy. Since it was taken online, I was able to work ahead and I loved it. Over all, I enjoyed his online course.

Very knowledgable and passionate about classical literature! He doesn't give a lot of assignments, but you have to pay attention to the facts and interpretations of the literature, because that's what he tests on. Entertaining lectures and funny rants. He will read through and discuss everything you need to know for he exams. Two research papers.

rubinstein is the most hilarious teacher i have ever had. He goes off on a lot of tangents but always finds his way back on topic. his course goes at a good speed. do not take class lightly, read ahead and start papers ahead of time. bonus points can be achieved if you are willing to have your paper graded in front of everyone. GREAT CLASS.

Best best best!!!!! He was the greatest professor I have ever had. Had him for Enc1102 and Lit 2110. Hard but makes you so much better than you could ever imagine. I wish I could take him one last time for my last semester but it just doesn't fit into my schedule. GREAT!

What a wonderful teacher! He knows his stuff. I wasnt very interested in Lit or reading but he definately made me want to learn. Can cite Shakespere with the book closed! THE best professor I have ever had! He is a strict grader but gives very clear guidelines, so if you follow them its an easy A.

I took him for both ENC 1101 & 1102 online. Mainly essays, which he grades pretty fairly I think, Got an A in 1101 but I worked for it. Also a few quizzes which are easy if you know the material. Overall good online proff.

Great professor. I took ENC 1101 and 1102 and was pleased. Both his passion, and his no BS attitude were inspiration for me. He likes to get the class talking about various topics, but is always sure to "hit you with knowledge". I would suggest his class to anyone.

This class was actually a refreshing break from my other classes. We always had fun discussions not always pertaining to the material but somehow we would always end up back at topic. You do all of your quizzes online (open book) all of your discussion board posts online as well. Essays are 500 words...easy!!!!

I won't lie, he is not an easy grader for this class. If you follow his format though, meet the legnth requirements and profread, you'll be fine. You'll have to work to get an A, but class was loads of fun! He gets off topic, but it is interesting. Attending will help you write better papers because he'll give you topics to use. I liked the class.

Took ENC 1101&1102, enjoyed him so much that I took him for IDS. He adds a refreshing new spin to learning, makes it exciting and you begin to look forward to his class. Very knowledgeable and entertaining, he inspires you to be a better writer and student. His tangents seem random but you walk away more inquisitive about the world around you,HOT!

"Rubi", as our class called him, is very intelligent. He is educated on current issues & displays it during "knowledge time". I loved this class. Not only did I learn a lot about issues around the world, but grammar as well. He is a cool guy with only your best interest at heart. He is cool with you as long as you show him the same respect.

One of the best teachers I have ever had. Witty and not afraid to get his hands dirty. Though I see he's not one for the online teaching. This does NOT surprise me. Don't take him for an online course, he does teach in a lot of places and will be a little too busy to give you the help you need.

I decided not to drop this class bc there was no final. SO REGRET IT. He belittles students which makes him presumptuous. I tried my hardest. I almost cried because of the way he lectured me during paper revising office hours. Too busy balancing teaching at UT and HCC. He should've just failed me. So I could have retaken it with another professor:(

Those who complain about Rubinsteing being to hard are probably just lazy. There is no homework. The entire class was 3 papers and the midterm and final. He pushed back paper due dates for a week to help students. He let students bring in a Intro for him to go over and if you did he gave you an extra week to turn in your paper. Great Teacher Easy A

I'll admit he's a really HARD grader. Almost all his papers (including Final and Midterm) has something to do with researching some literary device in a story and write a 4-6 page paper on it. if you love litertaure and know a lot about literary device than you should take him. He did extend the due dates of his paper

Rubinstein is a great teacher. He goes off on tangents all the time but always brings it back around to the class subject. He loves literature and is super passionate about it. He isnt a tough grader. Thoe who say they did bad are just lazy. Ya you have to do research papers but this is college grow up. I definitely recommend A+

Mr. Rubinstein is an awesome guy, albeit his teaching style is debatable. Fun, interesting, and easy class. He's helpful, if you ask. He's willing to reset bad test score for you. He lets you redo a bad essay. His grading can be harsh if you don't follow the format sheet. If English is easy for you, take this class. Recommended.

Awesome professor!

he is a really great guy. as long as you follow the format sheet and you write everything how he wants it written you wont get a bad grade. he dosent teach to much but you definately see improvement in your self. he will reset 1 bad test and 1 bad essay which you should not need. but there is nothing hard to undestand or hard about his class.

Funny guy. He likes to talk about current events and joke around with people. He also will help you out by resetting a bad quiz and 1 bad essay.

He is very good! I looked forward to his class because he makes learning fun. He always has a funny story. I had to work hard, but I felt like his grading was fair.

Absolutely loved this professor, honestly wish I could have him for more classes. His class isn't super difficult, you have a few essays but as long as you follow his guidelines and keep up with readings.. you will do fine. He is hilarious and goes off topic but you still learn a lot in the class. Definitely enjoyed him, gave me hope for HCC. (:

Grading was tough, but fair. Enjoyed the class overall

Funny teacher! enjoyed going to class. Of course theres wrighting, its english! but wrighting essays are not very hard. I was terrible at english prior and ended up learning alot and did very well. Just show up to his class and do your work on time. You will enjoy taking his eng 1101

Be ready to work!! But what an amazing teacher. Very funny will keep you entertained! Very good class. Loved it!

A lot of the other reviews that do not seem to be fond of Mr. Rubenstein look like they have come from his online class students, but after taking him in-class for 1102 I can say that he really wants his students to learn something to take with them after his class and provides the coursework that will push you to do greater work.

Great personality. Well rounded. Does not like being asked why a student received the grade they did, doesn't like speaking about it. Good at explaining English rules. Attendance effects your grade.

He was a pretty laid back guy but kind of a hard grader for papers. The reading materials can be found pretty easily online so the textbook isn't 100% necessary. He has a really dry sense of humor so discussions about the works we read were pretty interesting.

Prof. Is very tough grader, but if you pay attention in class. Work on your assignments to the best of your ability you will do fine. Hard work pays off with good grades. He knows his Literature, you cannot pull a fast one on him or try to bluff. He holds you accountable. He is one of the best Professors I have had thus far.

Great professor. You definitely have to work for your grade. Seek help from the writing lab. Also, pay attention in class and read the book. He is a pretty tricky grader but he gives good feed back... As long as you follow all of the grammatical rules you can easily pass an essay with an A. Class is always interesting and he cares about students.

as long as you do what he says you're guaranteed a passing grade.

THE MAN. Most work is done outside of class. In class is a lot of fun, we joke around a lot and he is hilarious.

He's awesome he should definitely be taken for FYW 101.

No lectures so stick to the syllabus. Very tough grader on essays and discussions. Everything in this online class is self teaching, must be very disciplined.

Mr. Rubinstein provides all the tools necessary for his students to do well. If you aren't interested in the class, or are habitually absentlateinattentive, your grade will most likely suffer as a result. No blame can be placed on this professor, as he is helpful, insightful, and enjoyable.

Very tough class. I made the mistake of taking this class online. If you do all the reading, you should have no problem passing the class. You will need your textbook.

I took this class online, and it was a summer course so it's a lot in a short amount of time. By the end of the semester it was an essay every week, but it's easy if you just do the work. Mr Rubinstein gives great feedback in grading with comments on your essays, and DB postings.

He is a very passionate and awesome professor. He is so knowledgeable on an incredible amount of topics. It is easy to get him off on a tangent and talking about who knows what, but you'll learn so much even when he is ranting. I highly recommend him to anyone who doesn't mind putting a little effort into your writing. It is worth it.

Very funny, will get off topic a lot with different conversations but they all come back EVENTUALLY to what one was talking about. Very tough grader, you have to work for your grade. Let him revise your essay in front of the class and you will get a letter grade better then if not, even if he does not say. Hybrid class

I took Mr Rubinstein for both ENC1101&ENC1102. Both were Hybrid. In his Hybrid courses you only have to meet once a week and typically have 1 discussion board based assignment a week. Quizzes, tests, & essays are very sporadic and he gives you much time and help to complete them. Follow the format sheet and pass. He is funny and I highly recommend.

Rubinstein is probably one of my favorites professors I have taken so far. He is very insightful, witty and gives good feedback. He can be a tough grader, but then again he is a fair grader. Apply yourself, show improvement and he will grade accordingly. He is also super funny.

I took the class during the summer semester figured it would be quick and painless. I am not a good writer, but I followed all his instructions when it came to the dashboard discussions and essays.I honestly loved his grading system. He is specific on what he is looking for, as long as you proof read your papers and discussions you should pass.

professor Rubinstein is very unique I have honestly never met someone like him before, he so intelligent and even though he teaches English every time I came to class, our discussions were always so real and open. He makes you feel comfortable enough to be yourself in class. He is so funny too which makes class better.

Amazing professor with a good sense of humor. Easy class if you are responsible to go to each class and do the homework on time, which is not a lot. If you need help or any questions he will help you. I would recommend him.

The other reviews that you have read are true. Professor Rubinstein is a very tough grader, but it helps you improve! I took his 1101 and 1102 hybrid classes, and the face-to-face time really helps. Although his assignments were frustrating, they helped me develop as a writer and college student. The readings are also amazing literature!

His class was the very first dual enrollment class I took and the reviews did not disappoint. He's a tough teacher and grader but my writing got 100x better. I went from getting 70s on essays to getting 85-90s at the end of the course and when I had to take him again for ENC 1102. If u want to improve take him but don't if u want an easy pass.
