Class is fun/interesting. However, he's very inconsistent when it comes to what he wants from the student. He tells you one thing, you do it, and he still says it's wrong or suggests to change it again. He can be very hypocritical at times. I'd advise to try to avoid him at all costs for your first english course.

Great! Enunciates his words a lot, which is a bit of a shock in the first class, but you get used to it.

I'm personally not a huge English fan, but Jeremy really made the course interesting. The material he chose for us to cover was pretty good, and he also provides plenty of chances to improve your marks throughout the semester, going as far as to drop bad marks if you've done better on other material. Great prof!

He doesn't post anything online or take attendance, but if you don't go to class, you won't understand the readings! He explains pretty much everything you need to know for your essays in class, so make sure to take notes. He doesn't assign too much work and is a fair grader. He also gives opportunities to improve your mark.

He doesn't use D2L so showing up to class and taking good notes is necessary, but his lectures are always interesting and enjoyable. There are very few evaluations but he makes it clear what he expects, grades fairly, and will always help outside of class.

I read so many great reviews about him, but to me, they're all wrong. I found him very rude, he basically told me I couldn't write essays, even though I took many english and philosophy classes and received an A in all of those. I asked him to clarify a reading and he told me to go read it again. Don't take this class with him.

From day one, Professor Citrome taught us the grammar skills needed to excel in this course. His assessments were more than fair, as he reiterated in what seems like every lecture the main steps and layout you needed to follow in order to receive an A grade. Pretty much, if you read the novels and went to lectures, he made it very easy to do well.

I've had Dr. Citrome for a handful of English courses now with good experiences each time. People don't realize how neutered first year English courses are nowadays.
