nice guy, individual attenton
No Comments
He makes class fun, but also expects a fair amount of effort.
He's great. Fun guy. Comes highly recommended.
nice, funny guy. But you have to put in the effort.
Jimmy is such a great teacher. Takes the time to know his students;he continually shows he appreciates his class. The class is fun and interesting. He does the same assignments as the student.Take him if you can!
What an AWESOME teacher! I would take his class again in a heartbeat! Very nice and understanding- funnier than heck. Do your homework and you'll be just fine. Really a great guy that cares about his students. Way to go Mr. Jimmy!
I have never met a teacher who cares so much about his students!! His caring and kind heart made me feel like I was worth something.
Awesome guy, really easy but knows his stuff. Would take all possible classes with him.
Wow. Jimmy is so cool! He let us take naps on the floor! He is really easy yet you learn something which is more than i can say for other teachers. He's really kind and caring... and a funky dude from yellow springs. GO JIMMY!
GREAT PROF! He makes every single person feel valuable and special and he lets you color in class and he has some awesome stories and mannerisms. He encourages you to be a kid in his class. did jumping jack with me bc i had too much engery. :-D
The absolute best english teacher ever, he never make you feel like what you write is worth. and he makes the class feel so comfortable. His book that he wrote is fab!! TWO THUMBS UP if i could have him again i definately would!!! LOVE HIM!
JIMMY IS THE GREATEST TEACHER EVER! no really, he is. take his class and grow.
Fun guy, didn't really teach ever in the class so it was hard to figure out what was expected of us on the paper. Grades kinda hard, but helpful.
very caring individual, loves what he is doing. Cares very much for his students. however i learned absolutly nothing in his class, and considered it a waste of time and money. Less dreaming and more reality is required. too much emphasis on god
Jimmy is the man. Very helpful and down to earth. Talks to the students a lot and has a great time teaching. You can really tell he enjoys what he does and he has a very fun and easy class.
Mr. Jimmy is great. I especially enjoyed the food on the George Foreman. Very easy going and relaxed, it was a break from the other boring teachers and professors. Everyone should take his class!
Jimmy is tha man! What else can I say if you have the chance to have him as a prof do it. wo snaps in a circle.
Mr. Jimmy is a nice easy going guy, very helpful and easy to understand. makes class fun, easy and interesting!!!!!! Take him for your Eng. classes
Mr. Jimmy is bar none the best teacher I have had in my life. The class is fun, he cares about his students, and really tries to educate you on certain matters. His grading is strict to a degree but will let you redo assignments. Highly recommended
Jimmy is a very laid back guy who wants you to be yourself.I like that, esp. for creative writing. You need Jimmy for support and constructive criticism. He likes to get to know the class.
I recently graduated from WSU. I had Jimmy my first year of attendance @Wright St. All four years whenever I passed him around campus he always recognized me and said Hello. He really cares about his students. Good Prof too!Take him if you can!:)
funnest class i ever had in my life. He was so open and willing to meet our needs. we learned and laughed and cursed and then learned some more
Jimmy is absolutely the best prof I have ever had. He is caring, exceptionally knowledegeable and willing to get to know you. He is very funny and he'll keep you laughing, but he makes you learn too. Jimmy has it all. He's GREAT.
Jimmy let us rewrite the class curriculum! He totally listened and was willing to change things for the better. What a great guy! Everyone should buy Jimmy a Christmas present!!!
insanely easy, open to ANY new ideas, HILARIOUS guy!!
I've had Mr. Jimmy for a teacher 3 times, once each year at WSU. He's a really cool guy! He's a hippie (but don't call him one to his face!) and he loves Tommy Hilfiger clothes. He's into letting everyone be themselves. Go into his classes with an open mind and you'll have a great experience!
Excellent teacher and wonderful class. Take any class by this professor!
Great guy,very friendly.Classes tend to be too relaxed or too focused on religion for a public univ.
If you want to goof off and learn nothing, take Jimmy. Even creativity exercises need some structure for good results.
Absolutely could not stand his class. If you do not share his opinion you will not get a good grade in the class. He has favorites and will give them good grades even if they don't deserve it. If you want a waste of time -- take his class.
If you are a business student, do not take him! He is a hippy and does not support business-relevant writing. I do a lot of professional writing, and nothing he discussed is valid. I wrote in ways that I knew were acceptable in the business world, and he tore me apart. I am dumber after taking him.
This is a poor support group disguised with religion to channel creativity. Jimmy seems to have a hard time respecting opposing views.
Class was way too unstructured and we did not get much accomplished class-wise. Too much personal drama was entered into a professional situation.
HE IS THE COOLEST TEACHER EVER, HE HAS REALLY HELPED ME AND HE IS WILLING TO TELL US WHAT WE DO WRONG. HE GIVES US CORRECTIONS AND IS JUST A ALL AROUND GOOD TEACHER. DURING OUR CONFERENCES HE ACTUALLY READ OUR PAPERS AND TOLD US WHAT WE DID WRONG. HE IS THE BEST TEACHER, TAKE HIS CLASS IT'S GREAT
Best. Professor. Ever. Helps students out and allows them to be creative with their writing. Lots of class discussion. Take him if you can.
I found both classes very informative and eye opening. If you are open to hearing ideas that are not what you are use to then you will do good. He works hard to help you understand how you should be writing. I think the reason for the unstructured class is to get away from high school thinking.
He is real fun and helpful..he was always available for help
jimmy is totally awesome. if you're a writer, especially at the earlier stages, he is a tremendous help.
Probably the best teacher I ever had. If you want to write to express what you think and feel take any of his classes!
I took two classes with Jimmy I was at WSU! I am now studying Mass Communication with a minor in English at OSU. I wish we had professors like Jimmy. I felt he gave me the freedom to express my views when many professors at WSU would not. The atmosphere
Coolest f'cking teacher at WSU!!! Great educator, creative in all aspects, plain awesome
Greatest fricken' English teacher ever. Jimmy is extremely helpful and very down to earth. He's willing to help students in anything.
Jimmy is by far one of the best teachers I have ever had. One thing I enjoyed about his class is that he also does the work that he gives the class and with every paper everyone has an oppurtunity to meet with him and discuss your paper. Very cool and down to earth. I really enjoyed his class.
This class was basically 2 free credit hours. There is literally NOTHING that gets turned in at all- it's strictly discussion-based. There's not a lot of structure to the class and it feels like nothing gets accomplished, but Jimmy is an AWESOME guy. If you just need credit hours, take it... But try to bring a friend with you!
Jimmy will encourage you as a person, encourage and criticize you as a writer, and let you be yourself, no matter. His classes are fun, his instruction is intuitive and informative, and a quarter in one of his classes is priceless. Mr. Chesire keeps it as real as you are. What else could you ask for in a writing class?
Mr. Jimmy is a great teacher. He explains thing very clearly. He is also a great friend to have!Anyone who wants to take ENG 101, Mr. Jimmy would be the best choice!
Tells you exactly what you need to fix on your papers. Relatively an easy grader. Fun class to have.
Jimmy is a fantastic professor for those wanting to unlock their creative writing skills. Supportive yet able to give cogent criticism one would do well to heed. Years after graduating, I still miss having the opportunity to take his classes. Jimmy reminds me of Socrates from Dan Millman's "Way of the Peaceful Warrior." A brave, good writer himself
He is creepy. i had to drop his class because he creeped me out too much
No Comments
Awesome! The coolest ever! Try to take him if there's any way to!
Loved the class. He's not an easy grader as some people have been saying, you really have to work and focus on your writing. Make sure you are up to date on grammar/puncutation rules. Keep your conferences with him and take his suggestions to heart if you want to get "A" or "B".
awesome prof. made everything fun. easy a
He is one of the best teachers I have had so far.
Jimmy's a great guy but he won't push you at all. You can get by with doing precious little, but he also understands when there is a legitimate problem. He certainly has a diff. perspective that other people on creative writing. You should take this guy at least once, but beware, unless you are motivated you won't learn much.
I didn't really like his class at first because it was seemingly toooo easy, but once I figured his strategy, I loved it. Mr. Jimmy really helped me with my writing and it was great to have creative freedom for once. He is unorthodox in his teachings, but it's a class I'll never forget or regret.
He is the best teacher ever. What more can I say? I want to take as many of his classes as I can, and I'm not even an English major. He respects each and every one of his students and encourages creativity. I never ever wanted to miss a day of class.
Great teacher! Don't let the stuffy business writers fool you, he may be opinionated, but he listens and respects every student he has. Some may confuse the open and relaxed atmosphere of his classes as being lax and unstructured, but those who believe that are probably not very good at pushing themselves to do work, and therefore need someone to.
Mr. Jimmy was the man. I loved his class. I always loved english class and he made me love it even more. He is so clear and fun. He is hilarious. I loved the writing. NO HOMEWORK EVER! no tests either. HE ROCKS! YAY Mr.Jimmy.
he is easy, but you learn. he takes a very creative approach that gets you interested to the point that you come to class, even when you absolitely do not have to. get an A without trying, but that isnt the point. overall... he is great.
I took this class my Junior year in High School. Very easy. You can do all your work online if you want and only show up for exams.
Jimmy was extremely helpful. I love English, but have problems with writing papers and he helped me be able to write great papers. Also, he gave me abstract thoughts/ideas to use towards my topic. Absolutely amazing professor and hope to take another class of his soon!
Mr. Jimmy is an awesome teacher and person! You will absolutely love his class!!!
Dude, Mr. Jimmy is one of the most amazing people I have met in my life! He is so helpful and is always there for you! Not only is he a great person in general but an amazing professor and awesome friend! Thanks Jimmy
Jimmy Chesire is awesome! I wish all my college professors were as laid back, open-minded, and nice as him. He was so funny, helpful, and had such a good mood everyday in class.
Take his class if you get the chance!! Most amazing teacher I have ever had in my life!! Very helpful and extremely laid back!
he was so laid back and easy to get alnog with. You do have to write the paper and make it good but it is a super easy class. and he was so much fun to be around. if you got a chance try to take his class. you will not regrate it!!!!!!!!!!!
Mr. Jimmy is awesome. He truly cares about everyone and he will go out of his way to get to know you so that you feel comfortable in his class. Very good, creative, open-minded teacher. Helpful and caring and wants to help you pass if you give him the effort! LOVE HIM! DONT call him james :)
Mr.Jimmy is awesome! His class is super easy and he's so much fun. You will learn so much in his class. He jut makes writing fun! I would recommend him for ENG 101 :-)
Excellent, excellent guy. You will love his class and him! Don't slack off though, he is picky on grammar!
Mr. Chesire is an AMAZING person all around! He is very passionate about his profession, and you will LOVE him. He has no problem what so ever sitting down with you and answering any and every question you have. I would recommend taking his class 200%!!!
HE IS AMAZING!I had him for English 101 and demanded him for 102. Best English Profess at WSU!Helped each individual student one by one.He is incredible and really got on students level and made going to class fun :)
Awesome teacher! Great way of teaching, made class really fun
Take him he makes class fun! You have like 3 paper total. I can't even get into his ENG 102 class. He is the best teacher. PS new students call him MR. Jimmy and he will love you!
HE is awesome. I can't even get into his 102 classes they filled up so quick! TAKE him if you get the chance!
Best professor at Wright State by far. Makes English 102 exactly what its suppose to be. Great guy, always helpful, loves his job, loves his students. Good luck with getting into his classes though.
LOVED HIM! He is a great professor the best professors are the ones who love their jobs and their students. He is helpful and wants you to enjoy enligsh. He meets with you for one on one conferences so you can do better and become a better writer. Highly Recommend Him!
he is the best professor i have ever had at wright state!! his class is very easy and he helps out more than any other proffesor on helping you understand the assignments. i would reccomend taking his class whenever possible! GREAT PROFESSORRR!!!
He is by far my fav teacher!! No test just portfolios, he is very helpful, you will have 3 meetings with him to talk about your papers. He wants to get to know his students. I would recommend taking his class(: amazing teacher!!

THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!! Not only does he love his job but he really gets to know his students and makes sure if they need help that it is right there for them. He makes the class a lot of fun and he is completely goofy. No test just 3 portfolios that are laid out in detail for you, all you have to do is the work which is VERY easy! TAKE HIM!

Jimmy is one of those professors you will never, ever forget. He loves discussion, loves when you GET something, loves to hear from all sorts and all kinds and whoever wants to step up to the table. Before you know it, you've learned things that stick with you for years.
The Dude...
Jimmy is just such a great guy. He truly cares about his students, their progress, and their opinions. He is the ideal instructor and has such a wonderful heart. What a nice guy! Deserves a reward or something! SERIOUSLY!
Awesome teacher. His stories are the best.
Mr.Jimmy !!!!! Best Teacher ever, he likes to get to know the students, and the class work is no waste because the stuff we learn can apply to anything. Every class we always do work and sometimes story time. Every class day, I look forward going to this class and everyone becomes with everyone unlike any other class.This class is the best!
I viewed him differently from many other students. He'srd grader, and I work hard and was often confused with his instructions; he can be confusing. He's outgoing and crazy and swears like a sailor. He will make you work hard if you want a good grade. But overall, I reccomend him and his class!
His directions are confusing. You have to decide if you want a fun outgoing teacher and practically teach yourself the material, or have a different teacher who's probably boring and gives understandable directions.
He was definitely a crazy guy, and hilarious. I only had two papers the whole semester, the first one was graded harshly but I ended with an A so I can't complain.
His directions are confusing. He is not funny or outgoing at all. Just cheap shouts and attention hoarder. He doesn't give understandable directions and uses F word to many times. O yeah, he tells a lot of stories about his personal drama, like we are his support group. Shady grader as well.
Really nice guy! We get off track sometimes and talk about other things, but its generally funny and relaxing. This course is generally small so were able to joke. Jimmy can be kinda gullible so it's easy to skip an assignment's due date or just any class and claim to be sick. He calls off class for a week multiple times for conferences too.
He is very unorganized and poorly constructs his syllabus and classes. DOES NOT properly explain student responsibilities in terms of homework. DOES NOT remember things he told you. Grading is shady with poor instructions. Stay away as he uses inappropriate language. Rude. He is a bad excuse for a professor.
Jimmy is amazing! He has been my favorite professor by far. He really loves his students and enjoys getting to know them at a personal level. Very clear with assignments and ready to help you if you need it. Gives great feedback. I would definitely take this class again!
hes a funny dude and wants to get to know you personally, but his grading is AWFUL even he doesn't know why you got that grade. His instructions are unclear and you have to guess on what to write about. It is a fun class but if you want a good grade don't take this class.
