DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!!! I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!! so stinkin boring, we pretty much did nothing the whole semester...only good thing was getting out early basically every class.
I can't explain ol' John. He's kind of crazy...but kind of funny. He is very sarcastic and talks with unneccesarily long phrases. For example: "You good scholars need to amble to the library and cogitate about your homework". I can't put my finger on him.
Prof. Chamberlain's class was very easy but he was pretty boring! He nevered showed up for class and he wasn't very consistent! If you are looking for a easy way out then take his class.
This professor was way too easy. The class was an absolute joke. I warn you please do not take this professor. You learn absolutely nothing.
Speech Class, What a **** class
HORRIBLE TEACHER!!! HE NEEDS TO RETIRE!!!
Any one that dosen't get an A or B in his class just didn't try. just do the work and you pass easily. A bit unorganized and talks in uncomfotably long phrases.
Worst....teacher.....ever.......
Holy COW! He skips around like crazy! You cant keep up with him at all... But you get out of class early like every night!
easy as hell, so if your like me, take him
Wow. He is pathetic. Don't take this class if you need any type of english for you major!
He's really boring. Reminds me of a child. He's pretty easy for a Written Comm I teacher. And we were supposed to have tests/quizs, but all we had was a mid-term and a final, and he made them really easy...20 questions mult. choice and T/F.
He was late on the first day and his assignments tend to be overwhelming. He tends to be a flake when it comes to sticking to the topic, and I hated doing the journal writing. I wouldn't take him ever.
You guys have got to be kidding, this guy is so easy. He grades very easily, you can do a horrible job on a speech and he still gives you an A on it. You can skip class if you dont have an assignment done and he wont mark it late. He is extremely lenient. He's kind of a strange guy but his class is a very easy A.
He is not very clear and makes students feel stupid when they ask questions. I don't reccomend this teacher.
First person to really teach me how to write. Very valuable course with him
This guy is a jerk. You can pass the class with out a problem no matter how you do, just get on his good side. If he doesn't like you, he'll treat you like crap. He likes to make fun of people in front of the class all the time, and he's pretty full of himself. He's probably only teaching to make himself feel important. I would never recommend him!
He talks in a monotone so I could never pay attention. His jokes are offensive. He doesn't explain anything. He just expects you to already know how to do it. He rambles from subject to subject with no transition so you're not even sure what he's talking about anymore. Has NO sympathy. NONE.
He's not a very good teacher but he's way easy. i didnt even turn some papers in and got an A. if you want an easy class this is it, but if you want to learn he sucks! and his jokes are lame!
TAKE HIM if you want an A!!!! He is the easiest grader on earth! I wrote my essays pretty crappy and I always got A's. You just have to do your HW. and use the correcdt format (Have a title page, outline, etc...) He has a dry humor, but he's oddly hilarious.
he's great if u want to learn something go ahead and take him, I think he's fair and honest jokes sometimes but overall an easy grader!!!!!!!!!
Is jokes are very dry and sarcastic which worked out for me because I love that kind of humor! The essays are easy to get an A as long as you do it correctly. I enjoyed his class and would like to take ENC 1102 with him!
Horrible Teacher! The type of person who hates his job and has to make everyone else as miserable as he is. I described this teacher to a fellow classmate who immediately knew who I was talking about. The school should not be paying him for the lousy effort he puts out. He was always late or leaving class early. Do not take him.
DON'T TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! My entire class will agree with me...his expectations and large amount of assignments are unclear, he is extremely rude, his grading scale is unfair...yes you will get an A but so will the slacker next to you who put in 1/4 the effort you did. He clearly has favorites and they are the only students who get 100's. RUN AWAY
If you want an easy A, he's definitely the one to take. He doesn't really know how to teach, he doesn't explain anything, but I thought he graded really fair.
He's a really easy professor... you write A LOT but it's not difficult. I dont think he's that bad and he explains what he wants to see on your papers (over and over again.) Overall, he's not that bad. Just do your assignments- he's easy.
well humor is dry, but you can turn in your work whenever.....he is a good teacher and really tries...he is an easy A...take him he is alright.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED HIS CLASS
I disagree with a lot of the reviews. I found him to be a big help, very nice and not an easy grader. I did get an A but I did have to work for it. If you like sarcasim he is the man! I love sarcastic people so it worked for me!
VERY sarcastic...NEVER learns your name, and calls you a totally random name on purpose...I don't look like a Dameon, but that's what he called me...My name's Brandon (Not even close)...EASY grader, but just pisses me off!!!
im taking his class ATM he really has a distinct humor. yeah he never learns your name lol like the other guy said he always calls u other names. hes not that hard but you have to do the papers he just wants quality work Overall hes really boring and has funny glasses that make his eyes huge haha hes not that bad though Its easy so far
GRADES REALLY EASY..REALLY BORING..REAL MONOTONE..DRY HUMOR. AND GRADES FAIRLY!! BUT DOESNT GIVE EXAMPLES ON HOW HE WANTS THINGS DONE! UGGH BUT ITS OK FO RME SOO FAR!
WOW!!! He is actually not that bad!! He is BORING! There are a lots of papers to write, but most of them are pretty easy!! He never learns your name.. But overall its an easy A!! I wouldnt recommend him, but seriously he is not that bad of a teacherr!! He's a good grader!!
I was very dissapointed in this professor. He did not teach. We gave speeches but the only form of communication from the professor was a piece of paper with his checkmarks in different categories. He was so rude to some students and nice to others. Easy class but don't expect to be a better speaker after the class.
Teacher is very funny and nice if he likes you. If he doesn't he can be mean. Is a very easy A.
He is very dry and sarcastic. But I find that hilarious so it was fine. His assignments are easy and he practically grades for effort. He did miss a few classes but he doesn't expect anything out of you when he does. I enjoyed this class and learned a lot.
If you want an A just do take his class, very flexible and cool...Great and got an A that speaks for itself!
Oh Chamberlain... definitely a different breed. (not saying that's a good or bad thing..)
He is very interesting... as stated before, and he has a very strange sense of humor. He looks like an mad scientist which is kind of amusing... Work= not very challenging. You don't really have to read the book just look on spark notes before class and you should be fine ;)He is fun and a very nice guy i have never seen him be mean to someone.
If you're even a little intelligent this class is cake, and its strictly practicing your English through assignments. Follows syllabus exactly. Listen and pay attention, he tells you exactly what he wants. Textbook really was not used a lot so you could not buy it and finds ways around it. Idiots, don't ask dumb questions, you will be insulted.
I freak'n love this teacher!!!He's FAB! Easy class, easy A...He almost never shows up and enables you to have more time for yourself. Work is a no brainer and i highly recommand him for all englishes and speech!
Easy class. DO NOT TRY HARD! Other students who are below average will make the same grade. This professor is extremely moody. One thing I noticed is that he is rather rude to certain people for no reason. Not me, but others. You will learn very little in this class. His grading score sheets are inconsistent. Scored an A. Hates Dr. Seuss.
Really laid back and hilarious. Work is ridiculously easy and he always ends class early. I would highly recommend him.
I WISH HE HAD AN ANGEL ACCOUNT! Would drive all the way to class just to find a note on the door "No Class Today". You must attend class or you'll miss information about upcoming assignments. There were a lot of papers to write. However, he is a very easy grader. Funny and nice, but the class was a joke; he did not seem to care.
he needs an a.d.d med to keep himself focused, he jumps around and is vague on what he wants regarding assignments so lookin at the book is best. tests a so/so mostly T/F & he tricks you with questions that are 1/2 right, missing like 1 guideline or something but overall... TAKE HIM!
this class was sick, he never remembers your name all you need to do is come to class with the paper he tells you to write and never anything else, he tells you to read some stuff in the book but no one does so he talks to himself the who time and lets you out early... highly recommend taking his class for everything if you don't want to do anythin
Awesome professor! Grades fairly and is understanding.
He didnt teach anything about writing. The only time he had us attend class is to turn in our assignments. He calls everyones names wrong. He is all over the place and doesnt remember what he gives for assignments from one class to the next. If college is important to you i wouldnt recommend this professor. An online would have taught more.
I loveeeee Chamberlin!
If you want an overly easy class with absolutely no substance to it, take any of his classes. He barely shows up for class, doesn't care to remember your name. If you do the writing and hand it in, you'll get an A. No final, just a research paper. The writing may seem a little much, but I seriously doubt that he ever actually read anything.
He is quite funny and easy to get through class. Tells you exactly whats on tests to study with. You have to do 4 speeches during the semester.
I don't understand why he has such bad reviews. I was not looking forward to this class at all, but I ended up not minding it at all. There were three papers (500 words easy) and 4 speeches which I'm not even sure counted as speeches. He has to be the easiest professor for this class, he's really laid back. I would recommend him!
I thought he was very easy. He would tell us to read things out of the book to discuss in next class but he never tested on them and just talked about it in class. He misses class alot and there is a couple assignments but he is a very EASY grader and just puts words like interesting and funny on your paper. Not to strict.
3 test, all open book & fairly easy. 3 speeches required, he says they have due dates-- but he let me extend mine. He responds to e-mails and is very helpful. I recommend him!!!
LOVE CHAMBERLAIN! Such an easy class, I took him for ENC1102 and SPC1608. Easy grader; you present a paper to the class (a short summary of what you wrote) in ENC1102, and in SPC1608, you write a few papers and read about 4 speeches, the longest being a 5 minute minimum. Answers emails fast, cancels class a few times, usually lets you out early.
He is very unclear on his descriptions of what he wanted for each assignment. He gave a timeline of when the assignments were due, but would not give his instructions until a day or so before each thing was due. The whole reason I took an online case was to be able to get assignments done on my own time and he really made that impossible.
This professor was awesome, very clear and to the point.
This professor is the absolute best! He is very helpful and responds to emails very quickly. I would defiantly recommend him to anyone who needs to take the classes he teaches.
This class prepares you for any field. The group assignments were interesting. Not all classes give you the opportunity to work with other students.
Currently taking his class now and really wish I would've chose a different professor. He seems extremely harsh on his grading and comments, and I wouldn't even consider asking him for help anymore. Doing pretty decent in the class now but feel as if I would've been better choosing another teacher.
Im in his class right now and I am regretting choosing him so much. He gives feedback that says "this is done wrong." and doesn't tell me exactly what I did or anything. Instructions are unclear and he is quite unhelpful and from the little interaction I have had with him. He seems rude and not inspirational at all.
He didn't even read my papers or count the amount of words used. He just graded from what it looked like to him.
He's a nice enough guy and his class is super easy but he doesn't read essays or listen to speeches at all. I've gotten the same grade for working really hard on a paper as people who didn't try at all, so I just stopped trying. If you talk during a speech the lowest grade he's given is an 88. I took him for Summer B, and i wasn't hard at all.
Show up and you pas.s If you turn papers in on time, you get 100%. Two sentence comments. No focus on grammar or writing mechanics. Does as little as he can and still e employed.
Class is so easy. I don't understand how anybody got below an A in his class. Show up and do the assignments and you will get an A.
Ok so heres the deal, If you actually want to improve your speccing skills don't take him, he literally ignores you while you're giving your speech, however this is actually the easiest A ever. His "tests" dare I call them that, but they are True False, super easy. Also He will ask for someone to be the time keeper, do it! Its like 50 points EC!
Be ready to not have your teacher go over any assignments with you. Rely on your syllabus. Also don't expect him to actually get back to you via email if you have questions. With that being said he can be funny and not too tough of a grader, definitely not inspiring, but classes are quick and painless.
Professor Chamberlain was extremely vague when discussing upcoming speeches/assignments, leaving the entire class clueless and unmotivated. I gave a total of five speeches (one being a group Powerpoint), all of which received high A's. The textbook was helpful for creating your own study guide for the tests but was not used for anything else.
There isn't a word in the english language that describes Prof. Chamberlain's character and teaching skills. This class is definitely not for you if your going to be an english major.. His class I would have to say was one of easiest classes I have ever taken in general.. I did learn somethings in this class that may be useful writing resume, etc.
Hands down my favorite teacher, super sarcastic and loves to mess with students. He has a VERY dry sense of humor and will call you a weird name and insist that it is whats on the attendance. If you take this class go in with a good attitude, play along and do your discussion posts. I got a 95% in the class and i didn't even work that hard.
Easiest class I have ever taken, grades very clear, goofy, hilarious, not held in class for full class period, goes over items that are due to make sure you have a clear understanding of when it's due. Literally the coolest teacher I have met and I was in my first semester of college.
Dr. Chamberlain is a great professor. His class is fairly easy as long as you write the papers. He has a dry sense of humor and is quite funny. You will learn some stuff about writing and you will have a good time. There is some group work but mostly done in class. I like him so much that I registered for another one of his classes.
Dr. Chamberlain is a great professor. This is the third class I have taken with him. He is funny and not too serious. His grading criteria is clear. If you do what you are supposed to do and on time, you will be successful in his class. As long as you can deal with him calling you by the wrong name, you will enjoy his class. Read the material
Pretty easy, just do the work and you'll pass with flying colors. Nice dude (:
Dr. Chamberlain made this class so easy. He responds fast to email and doesn't grade harshly. I wish I could've found him earlier so i could've taken him for more classes with. Online there's 3 Papers, 3 speeches,and 3 tests. Papers are a 500 word minimum and the longest speech is 5 min and the tests are way too easy.
im taking him online now and he seems pretty strict with his grading. speech videos have to have 5-8 adults. the way he has canvas set up is confusing. he doesnt group the assignments by week in modules like a normal prof, he just has the assignments there for you to figure out when theyre due. for 2/3 essays u have to go out and attend events
Prof Chamberlain is a great speech teacher. I recommend his late start class. I hate Public speaking but he makes it very easy to pass. wouldn't recommend any other teacher other than him.
super easy!!!! class online. I enjoyed doing all the assignments and writing 500 words for 3 papers was actually pretty easy. Got 100% each time and I hate writing and have bad grammar. grades fast, sometimes within few mins. The speeches were easyyyy too!!!. he never writes announcements and there is no communication. gives one sentence feedback.
THIS. This professor is one of the many things that are wrong with the education system. So insistent on his personal opinion and so unprofessional. Lacks compassion for students with disabilities. Cold and unforgiving man. Trying to ruin students GPA'S. DO NOT TAKE.
Pros: Easy grading, assignments are not difficult. Cons: It's very confusing to figure out when assignments are actually due. He literally changed syllabus due dates after class had already started. I think I was fine taking his class because I didn't really need him for much. But he's definitely unorganized.
There is not a single PG word I can think of when this man is mentioned. He is extremely disorganized (his syllabus was dated for TWO YEARS ago and all the assignments were dated wrong). He didn't update the gradebook until the last week of the class. Grades speeches within the first seconds of hearing.I cannot believe I had to pay for this class.
Super duper easy online course for Speech. Just turn things in on time but if you email him about anything don't expect THOSE to be on time lol. If you have a question about an assignment, more than likely will reply after its due date. There are 3 total speeches and you need a minimum of 5 adults in the room as your "audience".
Took this class over the summer during the covid pandemic. The work was simple. Tests were super easy, only 3. Only 3 speeches, 3 papers (500 words), 5 easy discussions. Do the work and you'll pass. I don't understand the negative reviews. Take the online class. Easy A!!!
Not much to do for this class, one assignment each week, all were pretty easy. You have to pay attention to outline due dates, as they are not a notification. I got 100 on everything, the papers and speeches are not challenging. He let me redo an outline multiple times. Three tests, gave study guides each time. Last test was one question
You would have to try very hard to fail this class. There are a few short speeches, and even fewer tests. About half of the tests were cancelled anyways. The most work you will have to do is read part of the text and write a short essay on the material, and post it to a discussion. Take this class for easy A and tips on giving speeches.
To be honest this was not a hard class.. though he lacks in a lot of things. He takes forever to respond, he was never clear on where to find the resources on the textbook, & if i wanted to, i can literally copy & paste on an essay & he wouldn't notice. theres about 3 video speeches, 4 essays(500words), &5 discussion. awful teacher! doesn't give af
Not much work in this class. Some speeches, short papers, and discussions. Participate in the assignments, and complete everything early. He grades quickly, and fairly. The way the assignments are laid out on canvas is confusing so just refer to the calendar.
Not a very proactive teacher. I believe he means well, but nothing was ever taught. Had to purchase a book that was discussed one time. you can copy and paste so easily. I almost think he gives random grades. Any essay I turned in there was no discussion, just little corrections. I wouldnt take this class unless you plan to learn on your own.
Lenient grader and grades assignments very quickly. Easy A+ and not much work.
