Jeremy (he doesn't mind if you call him that!) requires what should be expected from college students. Not an "easy a" class, but you'll get your money's worth in help from him, and learn something as well.

I would have to say that when I had jeremy in class I was a little on the pist off side but after leaving the term I realized just how much he helped me out. you have to work for your grade, and he lets you know his expectations right up front, so it is n

I really enjoyed his class and learned many things. He is the kind of teacher that pushes you to do your best, which many people see as a negative thing; however, at the end of the term you realize how good he is.

What a guy. My favorite teacher so far, i learned alot.

Jeremy kicks ass. eanough said.

I took Jeremy's classes for four terms (varying english classes), and while he is hard, the work is worth it. I have since transfered to a university and am so happy that I learned the correct MLA formatting. Some other students at my university don't even know correct formatting. Give him a shot, I'm sure you'll think it was worth it!

Jeremy is a great teacher and his classes are rewarding, but only if you're up for a challenge! He helped me cure my writer's block. Take a lit class from him first!

Take this class if you are tired of easy A's. You will have to earn you grade in his classes and if you can get an A you will feel like posting your grades on your refrigerator. Great teacher. Down with mediocrity!!!

Jeremy's a great guy. Anyone who says he's "egocentric and rude" just isn't putting forth any effort to read into the context and think critically about what he is saying. He is always available for 1 on 1 help, just ask. All work comes back with in-depth commentary, and as long as you try your best, he will be lenient. Great teacher, hard class.

I've taken two classes from Jeremy and I've learned more from him than from any other class I've taken. Yes, the work is hard but there shouldn't be any suprises. From day one he outlines what the class is going to be like and what he expects you to learn. If you learn the material you'll get an A. If you don't, you won't.

What a bunch of whiners. Just because a teacher expects you to learn what they're teaching doesn't mean they belong at Harvard. Suprise, I'm at Chemeketa to learn something and Jeremy is one of the few teachers at Chemeketa who doesn't just read from a power point and pass out a few multiple choice tests. You have to earn your grade in Jeremy's classes. You have to show up every day, you have to study and you have to work hard. Personally I thought that's what college was about anyway.

Jeremy is a fair sweet guy. He tells you what is expected on the first day of class and as long as you have a high school diploma you should be able to get an A in his class. SHOW UP!!! You are pathetic if you don't at least pass his classes. He is very fair and is one of my favorite teachers ever and he got me interested in literature.

While it's true that Trabue actually pays attention to every piece of work that is submitted to him and gives adequate criticism, it's unfair to say that such a thing is bad for a professor to do! His classes are fantastic, and us community college students are very lucky to have such a reliable, competent human resource on campus.

In my four years of college, Jeremy is the only instructor who ever put as much effort into the class as he expected to get from his students. He expects you to turn in quality work and you can expect that you'll get back a paper with meaningful, useful comments, and not just a token "Good Job" stamped at the top. A difficult class, but worth it.

If you don't work hard, you're not going to like Jeremy. The people on here flipping out about his teaching style aren't 100% incorrect; he can be abrasive, but he's a very solid professor who takes his work very seriously, engages, and expects you to also (& he can be nice!). If you can't do that, don't whine about the lack of handholding later.

He is very articulate and knew what he was talking about. I learned allot in his class. I failed the first time I took his class. I agree with some of the people that he is difficult, but the stuff he teaches is very relevent to things you need to know. I enjoyed his class and would take it again, which I did and passed.

I think Jeremy gave me every oportunity to do well in his class. I was struggling and could not do my best. He kept encouraging and gave me cahances that is all I can expect. I do not Know if I passed. If I did OK if not OK. I am a grown man and will deal with my concequenses. Yes he is demanding. He just doesn't want to short change you I think.

Jeremy is an awesome teacher he gave me every tool I needed to succeed.Sorry if some of you can't handle the pressure, but college is all about the pressure.

I took Intro to Poetry online with Mr. Trabue and it was a very labor intensive course. But, Jeremy is an excellent instructor and very knowledgeable about this subject. There is A LOT of reading and posting in the forums, but I learned a lot and had fun. Just follow instructions, do the work, and you'll be fine. :)

I took several classes with Jeremy at CCC when I returned to school (high school dropout). I am now in law school and doing well because he gave an honest effort and set a foundation for me educationally. Work hard, go to office hours, love the work--that is the key.

Jeremy is a fantastic instructor. This class was difficult, but I learned far more about poetry than what I'd expected to. You will get a good grade if you put forth a decent effort in your work. Jeremy is brilliant and helpful. If you get an "A", you will have worked hard and deserve it. Great class. Great instructor.

I took his writing class and I loved it. Yes he a hard grader, but I learned more in his class than any class I have taken in college. He worked well with his students and his feedback was very helpful. If you want to learn and are a hard worker, I would suggest taking his class. You will feel so much smarter by the time you finish.

Jeremy was a frustrating class for me. I'm an A student and out of all my other classes this one was suppose to a cake walk. Crazy enough it was my hardest but it taught me so much. As long as you push through the frustrations, work hard and communicate with him. You will gain something from this class. I hated it but received a A I earned.

I took his Poetry class last term and it was my first ever online class. I will be honest, he does give you quite a bit of work, but it is completely doable if you are willing to but the effort in. I found this class really enjoyable and loved this professor! I have never learned so much from one class before! Would definitely take his class again!

Professor Trabue is the type of person who will put everything he has to give into helping you along with your education. He is definitely in love with the craft of writing and is dedicated to teaching. I would highly recommend him.

The class I took with Trabue kind of felt like a reminder that you are no longer in High School. In my opinion, the sooner you can adapt to this the better you will be. That said he is still forgiving enough that if something happens like everyone bombs a test, he will make it worth nothing and go over it again until the class understands it more.

I wouldn't suggest taking his courses unless you're looking for a challenge. It's somewhat stressful, and as some have already said, he seem a little bit condescending. I'm attributing some of that to the fact that it was an online class. Overall, the course was fine. Not a fan of the grading system though.

tough, but if you expect life to just hand you stuff, you're in for a rude awakening. visit with him during office hours; he really just wants people to succeed.

Professor Trabue was great! The main challenge of this class is avoiding procrastination; if you can do all your work on time you'll do great. He's very helpful outside of class and knowledgeable about what he teaches.

This class isn't for slackers. That being said, if you are willing to invest the time and are interested in actual college learning, this is a great class. I came out of it with enough knowledge of poetry that I did some writing on my own. I loved the class and the challenge.
