The best teacher I've ever had! John works hard to help everyone reach their full potential.
No Comments
Best teacher i have ever had.
Best teacher i had and i've been in school for 7 years now. i had him 5 years ago and wish every professor could be like him.
Not a tough class if you do your work.
Cartier was one of the best teachers I ever had. He genuinely wanted to help everyone, and his sincerity truly makes his class amazing. I would take classes with him every semester if i could.
This man is a genius! He has made writing meaningful and enjoyable. I will take what i have learned with me wherevere i go. I am ready for the real world.
He's extremely nice, my first impression I thought he was a little weird but that impression did not last very long once you get to him better, very genuine guy and his stuff comes from the heart!!! I love you MAN!!!!
his class is great.. although u gotta write a lot, it's really enjoyable. good class, good instructor.
He is a great teacher! Expect to write A LOT! He is the most caring professor I have ever known. He does not judge your writing, but is looking for your effort and insight in your writings. I wish he taught more writing classes.
Prof. John should be an inspiration to other professors out there. You cannot measure his level of caring and genuine interest in each student's ability to be the best they can be. Thank you Prof. John!
its a class run very different and a little weird compared to what you learned in english1 its definately spicy and interesting not a hard class but you read some funky stuff
Very nice teacher, clear and helpful, best teacher ever!!!
go for him you won't regret it. perfect teacher
If you want to learn and have fun while you learning, this is the professor you want to have for every single semester, I personally think this man was born to teach, he cares about your school work and best of all he is willing to help you on his own time. He is the greatest.
Stellar Professor! He explains assignments to the "T"...one-on-one meetings help a lot, tells you your strengths and constructively gives criticism...treats everyone as an indivual, with the upmost respect...love the guy...take his class, you won't regret...you'll look forward to every class
He's a very polite professor. He works hard to individualize time with each and every student and sees to it that each and every student succeeds. If I had one minor complaint, it would be that you come out of the class not really having learned the essential 101 skills in terms of grammar etc.
Great professor!!! i love his style. i was looking forward to every class. his classes are definietly are not boring. i took comp II with another professor, dropped it, and i'm gonna take that class with Cartier!!!! take him you want regret it.
At the beginning you don't know him. When you just start his class he will get you excited to write. He is a very carring Professor and very understanding person so don't let anybody put you down Professor John Cartier. When your in his class he wants you to finish his class with an A.
AMAZING teacher....best teacher I have ever had. takes interest in his students and cares how you do in his class. He is truely a great person ( and teacher) he is such an inspiration and makes you want to learn! he truely is amazing......BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD..ever!!!
He was an excellent professor. Highly recomended. Be prepared to write a whole lot. Beware of the process of analysis.
Best professor ever he is born to teach and cares abt his students alot helps you out alot..jst have to write papers but he is a great professor....individual conferences help u out also he tells u wat u have to improve on...jst hand in the work on time and follow the guidelines and its an easy A
He is the best professor I've ever had.He makes his class very interesting.I took his 3 hour class and I was never bored. He's very helpful and wants all his students to do well.Made me love writing.He assigns a lot of writing but it's not bad.Highly recommended. Hope he stays in Bergen.
Excellent professor, he really cares about his work and his students. Great Guy.
Great teacher and a good man. He is very helpful and funny. I enjoyed his clas a lot. Be ready to write a lot, but he is really great.
Simply the best teacher I've ever had. He actually takes interest into what his students are doing. Prof, if you're reading this, thanks! If you get a chance to take his class, do it. It's alot of writing, but it's enjoyable. Definately not your typical class, it's fun!
He is a great professor. He is the best.I know it lot of writing but he'll get you out of the situation. I enjoyed his class. If i get chance i'll take the comp 2 with him also. He cares about his students? He is capable for his job. He just born to be a wonderful teacher. If you were planning to take comp 1 take it with him. He is great and adorab
This professor is really a good one, he let us use free write and mind map, focus a word that is a good idea to build writing skill. Take him. You will learn a lot knowledge from him.
Great professor... has given me a new perspective for writing. There is a lot of work, but you must expect that from any comp class. I def recommend him.
Professor Cartier is a very good teacher and he gives alot of himself along with the assignments. I would highly recommend him. Excellent teacher! Excellent!
HE IS ABSOLUTLY THE BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD. there is def. a lot of work to do for this class but its almost like you want to do it. I am def.not a school person and he really really was excellant. THANKS PROF. JOHN!
He was by far one of the coolest professors I have had yet
awsome teacher, great person he really tries to help you learn how to write and not just by the book or some rules.
is this dude writing his own reviews?
This man can change your life. I never use to enjoy writting until I took his class. He is by far the best professor at BCC.
He is the best professor in Bergen.Prof.Cartier, you r ROCK!!! He is good,nice,and clear in whatever he teach. You will learn a lot in his class. I will take his class again!
I LOVE YOU PROFESSOR CARITER U R DA BEST.. UR BANGIN.. "i mean the way u teach"!!!!! he's the best.. all u do is be yourself... in this class and will pass.. pass with A HIGH GRADE ... he gives no tests @all .u have to read a little it seems alot but its very worth it in the END...he makes you feel good about ur self.. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.TRUST ME:)
prof john is the best prof. ever. very nice, patient, helpful and understanding. As long as u do the work you will pass a lot of reading and work. I wish all professor teaches like him. he teaches the way that you will enjoy the class and trust me i hate writing.
nice guy, but unless your idea of learning how to write consists of drawing and coloring-do not take this prof.
Prof John is the best english teacher ever. He does things differently then the conventional teacher. He is willing to help you anytime and the way he teaches is more quantity then quality. I received an A in his class last semester it was a fun experience would highly recommend if you had the chance.
He is the best of the best of the best teacher in this world!! He respects students,understands their feelings, tries to help you all the time.BCC is a very lucky school because it got him.He plays great music for you during writing time.
He is the best of best.
This prof is the best for english. He gives u alot to read n do mind mapping w/colors at first ur going to think he is out of his mind for making u color but it works.Take him if u want an easy A. All u have to do is ur work n youll pass.He's the best. :)
he is the best. i took comp 1 and 2 with him. his classes are very nice. esay A. i recom u to take this class
Really good prof. I hated writing and had failed it twice before cause I just didn't know how to get my thoughts together to write a paper. He broke it down, made it fun and so interesting that I actually like writting now and I write A papers in all my other classes, I'm taking him again for WRT 201. A must take!
I took him for comp 1.. he is the greatest teacher ive ever had. very easy. makes class fun. don't use the text book either.. cancel classes a lot. but that is good cuz all the work u do is at home
Wha, he is def one of my favorite! He knows what is going on in class, very individual and helpful either. I wasnt a huge fan of writing but after his class, I learn how to keep myself into writing. Very passionate and professional.
To much papers and writings and meetings...always wants us to stick to our groups that he made for us...nice guy but feel like he thinks he teaching 6th grade.
the best professor i ever had..coool guy...
Doesnt get better than this! A real teacher, with a real life and considers you real people
You'll go in, and you'll be like WTF. Stick with it, he'll tell you that its a work load, but when going through it, its bearable. Hes a great guy, and really wants you to get a good grade. Take him for this class, you won't regret it.
see those all great comments on him! he is one of the best in bergen and actually he is really nice guy. He helps all the time and cares about his students a lot. Take his class! U are not going to freak out even you hate writing stuff!
This guy is great. At first you might seem unsure about him, but stick with him. The writings are so easy. It's a writing class, so of course you write a lot. He's very nice, and extremely helpful. He teaches you a lot about everything, I really reccomend him.
he is the perfect teacher at bcc,u just have to follow his guidelines and just 4 projects-not hard at al,i really admire him,take him,u'll get best grades.
A lot of work, but none of it is difficult. He does care about his students and is always available for help. Really is a genuinely nice person all around, which is something I can't say of 90% of the staff at this school. This is more of a creative writing class, not an actual language and composition course.
Cool guy...down to earth and easy to get along with. The work is not hard, just do the projects and you will be fine. I would reccomend him to everybody!
you gotta be kidding! he is so cool guy. i dont believe that he could hurt an ant. he cancels classes a lot because of his parents. He is very easygoing guy. he is very calm and positive. take it to pass, not to improve your skills. that is my own personal opinion.
This teacher is the coolest guy in the world. very laid back, only is there because he wants the students to learn how to deal with college. take this guy and you'll love him...plus its an easy GPA booster
Firstly, he's a very thoughtful and honest person. His unique approach to composition helps students of all levels. He provides a complete schedule and list of assignments and due dates right away which is amazingly helpful and generous. Most of all, no matter who you are, he will treat you fairly and find someway to make you interested in writing.
Loved his creative approach to the class. He will accept late work, very laid back and relaxed. You will def. improve your writing. Prof. John is the best! His class inspired me to do well
He is the BEST teacher ever. He is very understanding and his approach to composition is unique. You will definately learn. He is the sweetest man. There is no way you would not get an A if you do all the work and hand it in on time. He rewards you for effort and he will give you the benefit of the doubt. GREAT TEACHER! Greatly Recommended!!!!
HE IS THE MAN! best teacher for english comp, does not use book, makes u write A LOT, but its all good, get ready to work but also to discover a whole new U, yes YOU!! I took him for WRT 101 and 201 he is the best!
I took Prof. Cartier for wrt 201. I found him a bit of a bore at first since he generated a feel-me-good vibe but most of his teaching techniques were quite unique. That was his edge. He's not your typical read-by-the-book professor. There's more to him than meets the eye.
He was a cool person to talk to and his lesson plans were fun, but his lesson plans were his own- and not based on the curriculum that was supposed to be taught. When I went into Writing Comp 201 I was a little lost because he never covered some material that he should have. Also, he promised to mail out our final projects. he even made us give him
he is really awesome. he make u work but he also wants everyone to get a A grade in his course. he created a new meaning of learning English
ok. this guy is awesome, he teachs for love, everything that u can learn in that is class is wonderful no matter what is it, you will learn, yes it is easy and he is kind of fag... but he is extremely good person and easy "A". Take him, he is one of the best psychologist teacher at BCC. and he always gives to you the opportunity to clarify mistakes
He is a awesome teacher. Esy A if you do your work. Very helpful. Best teacher in Bergern. I wish I can take him again. Take his class
loved his class. awesome guy, would take him again in a heart beat. very interesting guy and interesting experience, you will walk away happy and more fullfilled as a student/person. cares about his students, is different in a good way.
EASY TEACHER. i enjoyed his class. class is interesting. i took him for both WRT 101 and 201 easyyyyy A! you will NEVER EVER regret taking him!
take him!!!!!
hey guys this is really good prof. take him I really like him and I advise you take him and in his class you dont have to buy any book just you have to do 4 projects for only 2 time thats all no midterm and no final exams thats all if you take him in summer its also really good that you dont have to go class everyday just once in a week thats all..
best prof at the bergen english department, really easy to talk to and if you dont get a B at least you are a complete DumA**, take him hands down THE BEST
He is different.
I love him! he is a great teacher!! he is easy to talk to and when ever u need help hes there. He is just great!!I plan on taking him again for comp. II
O MY GOD.....O MY GOD......O MAY GOD.....O MY GOD.......O MY GOD.....O MY GOD......O MAY GOD.....O MY GOD.......O MY GOD.....O MY GOD......O MAY GOD.....O MY GOD.......O MY GOD.....O MY GOD......O MAY GOD.....O MY GOD.......O MY GOD.....O MY GOD......O MAY GOD...?????HE IS SO EASY...OK
Professor Cartier is easy, fun, and if you do all of your work (and there will be a lot of work) you're guaranteed at least a B+. But don't whine about your grade or you could get into a rough spot. Otherwise I'd reccommend him in a heartbeat.
If you get a chance to take any class with him, def take it! You learn so much from the class unlike most. He's fun, and easy going! Best teacher i've had yet.
HEY GUYS TAKE HIS CLASS JUST JUMP ON HIS CLASS AND GET IT DONT EVER THINK TOO MUCH BECAUSE IF YOU THINK ALOT THEN YOU WILL LOOSE A OPPO. TO TAKE HIM.HE IS SO MAD EASY PROFAND THERE IS NOWORKLOAD ATALLJUST GOTO CLASS AND THATSAND SLEEP BUT THATS THE PROMISETHAT IF YOU TAKE HIS COMP2 CLASS SO YOU SHOULD TRY TO DO WELL BECOZ YOU WILLHAVE IMPACTONALIFE
He is really nice and easy going teacher.. i recommended you to take this teacher. Just take his class and you will surely pass the test!! and in his class there is none of the test or quizz... or final or midterm so you should take his class
Pretty good teacher. Very down to earth and easy going. His class is great. Does give about 6 writing papers and you do need to put alot of work into them but he will give you a week to fiish them and they are not that hard. Very understanding and he will make sure you know what to do. ANd requires no books! Great guy<3
great teacher, easy going, understanding. you have 4 projects throughout the semester. each one consisting of a creative paper. very easy, great guy. doesn't have any due dates, no hw, and keeps in touch through email. TAKE HIS CLASS
best teacher that i ever had. he is so nice and really cares for the students. compared to all the other writing classes, his is creative and fun to do. it's fun to write these papers and he does not really careif u hand something in late. the nicest and sweetest person ever and gives the class a chance to really get to know him through wrting
The best professor ever!!!!
he is the best professor in my life. he doesn't use any text book. he has his own materials He is SPECIAL. I LOVE HIM!
The best teacher I've ever had! Prof John works hard to help everyone reach their full potential. This is real gentelmen.
The best teacher I've ever had! prof John works hard to help everyone reach their full potential. The best teacher what I erer had. He is real gentelmen. That kinde of people you want to listen.
Great guy and teacher. He deals very well with people which I heard he polished by attending clown college for 2 years. If you ask him he'll show you his red rubber nose that he still carries on a chain around his neck!
He's so nice, make extremely boring class extremely interesting. The best teacher at BCC.
He's not a bad teacher but over the spring semester he assigned us 4 projects, each requiring 3 drafts EACH (including a semi-difficult research paper too), and then 10 Questionnaires on top of that! Topics can be DEPRESSING, and difficult to work with. Then you find out he has you writing ABOUT HIS OWN LIFE HAPPENINGS, which is strange.Don't take
Great professor
Probably the best Writing 101/201 professor in BCC. Very easy, doesn't care for attendance, accepts late assignments w/o penalty. No textbooks. No tests/quiz. Only 4-5 papers. It gets hard to keep up b/c of the stuff he wants you to add to the paper, but trust me, this is nothing compared to what the other professors give. I highly recommend him!
Easy class but it's a joke. 7 papers of 500 words each which is easy. But then he makes u color and "free write" it's just weird. He doesn't help your skills at all. I felt like I was on kindergarten all over again rather than a wrt 201 class. He's not very helpful just odd
Well I had so much fun taking his class. It wasn't difficult but he made us to think whatever we write about. Very genuine and extremely helpful. If you think you didn't learn anything from him I think you should read "on writing well" rather than taking a writing class at BCC
He is the best professor i've ever had! he is such an inspiration, and i grew much confidence in myself. He helped me find myself... I LOVED HIM! TAKE HIM! YOU WONT REGRET IT!!!
Took Prof. John for both my WRT 101 & 201. Best writing prof I have ever had. He explains everything to you in class and in more detail in e-mails. Any questions he will answer right away. Just make sure to check you e-mail every day. Bottom line is take his class he is the best.
Took this professor over the summer, and must say for the first time I tune with my writing. You will discover techniques and even yourself. The greatest feeling is when are free to be creative and write you discover how naturally it comes to write an essay a research paper. Everyone should this english class !
This man is what a teacher should be. Not only does he teach you educationally but he teaches you about yourself. That's hard to find in a professor.The most motivational class I took hands down. Best professor at Bergen.
Great professor and very helpful.Must a dumb not to love his class. Take him and won't be disappointed.
Made reading and writing fun!!! take this class!!
He's the greatest guy, awesome professor, but make sure not to take his class only once a week. He gives out a LOT of work. An overwhelming amount.
Never felt this way before about writing and a class. I did not know that I could produce so much and write so much, every time it's time for his class I get excited even tho I am not a hard worker student, professor John gives you opportunity to get to know yourself mentally and lets you know how much you can do.
I really thought i would love this class because i love english and writing, but i hated it. Yeah he's a nice guy and i got an A and lateness doesn't matter, but you spend the whole class writing papers. you write the same 4 papers over and over again until they meet his criteria. plus, even though this isnt a hybrid class, he e-mails every day
LOVED this class! No tests or exams. The way he teaches you, he actually pertains toward you life and he helps figure out who you are and what you believe in. Loved every class bc we barely had any! we missed a total of about 8-10 classes for conferences. He really cares about you and if i could, I would take him again. Easy to pass.
Best Professor i've ever had. Changed my life. Take him, you wont regret it.
HE IS JUST THE BEST! HE LITERALLY MAKES YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH WRITING :))) I took him for WRT201 and he was simply so kind, caring, and thoughtful. That's what a lot of prof. lack in schools. Just come to class because he makes it very entertaining and interesting. As long as you do your work you will pass with flying colors. He's very laid back!:)
One of the my favorite English teachers of all time, I never really liked creative writing to be honest. He gave great, concise, simple instructions for the projects. He made me enjoy writing because he let us all be creative while also following specific (yet interesting) guidelines. I highly recommend this professor. Also, NO TEXTBOOK!!
Professor Cartier is the MAN! He is super easy just aside for the four chapters of five-six pages you have to write every other week. It's an intense class but you just need to on your toes that's about it! He's extremely helpful and is easy on the due dates. Gives more time if you need it. Oh yeah and he says no to textbook!
He is honestly the man! i took him for writing 101 and 201 and he really understands how you're feeling about papers as long as you try your best you will get an A he does not look for perfect he just looks for effort he's awesome!!
He really was an enjoyable professor to have. His methods can absolutely be a little strange - but the pay off is great ! Definitely recommend if you're looking for a different approach to an English class.
take this class
He is really helpful, cares so much about his students. Cartier is definitely the best writing prof ever!!
Great and fun professor. I took his class some 15 years ago, yet still remember how I loved his class. He'd put music in the beginning of class which was such a great idea. He made English so fun. Thank you.
Really good teacher, very creative, give good readings, give lots of feedback, treats class like a hybrid course, you'll hardly have class, no book, no tests, no mid-terms, no finals just have to write 4 papers/chapters over all semester,this is a perfect class if ur not good at writing & want an EASY A because as long as ur trying he'll PASS you!
This is the BEST English Professor I have ever taken, he is very caring and your Writing skills are guaranteed to Sky-Rocket 100%. Initially I took Writing 101 because it is required but by the end of the semester I became so into writing that I actually now want to write books, all because of this class. He makes the class CREATIVE & FUN! Take it!
He was a great Professor when I took him two years ago. Professor Cartier dedicated his time to guide you expressing your inner thoughts, or as he called it (personal writing), you pour your heart into your work and daily journals. Does anyone know if he is still teaching? I haven't seen him for the spring 2017 semester.
Amazing professor, highly recommend you take his class.
very easy going
Best Professor ever!!. I never had such an inspirational class. Learned so much about myself in this class.
This class made me love writing. He is a very encouraging and understanding professor. A blessing
