he is absolutely the best teacher i have ever had. grades hard but is totlly fair and helpful, i have switched my schedule around to have him for english the last three semesters. iam transferring next semester and i will be taking his last class online.
he's a hard grader but he's funny and knows a lot about pop culture.
I didn't like his class. Grades hard and talks about nonsense. I think he's an ex-hippie. I got a C in his class and should have took someone else....someone like Carrillo.
Tough grader but you'll be a better writer for it. Very charismatic and entertaining.
Hated him at first, but he grew on me. Grades hard and at first may seem unfair, but if you stick with it and put in the effort, by the end of the semester you realize that he is fair and that you have actually learned a lot. A true teacher.
he's a sci fi fanatic, but nonetheless a good quality teacher. The research paper is about a conspiracy theory... there are limited books in the libraries, so if you have him, start thinking about a topic quickly.
The best english teacher ever. Hard grader, but VERY fair. He is very helpful. You will definately learn something. Side note: love science fiction, not a big feminist.
hated him at first. like previous comments, his crustiness grew on me and eventually I earned an A. But it took busting my ass everyday. Not an easy class.
One of the best English teachers at Harbor College, maybe one of the best teachers there, period. His experience and expertice in English Literature is profound. Expect upbeat class periods with explanations and interpretations through modern film and tele
Great teacher. If you learn the basics quickly, he'll let you do whatever you like, meaning go further -- or even in another direction, if you really know what you're doing. Read the "how to pass this class" material in the text he gives, then .... Have fun! ------------- Corb's been known to assign recipe writing for some assignments!
Extremely fair teacher! As long as you do the work you will get a good grade. The teacher is very pleasant and is very helpful.
His Very understanding with problems or considers with class just make an effort to go talk to him
Interesting, very funny, and easy to follow. As long as you do EXACTLY what he wants in his papers you'll pass them. Make sure you cover everything he's asking for. He likes a lot of detail, and interesting topics. Don't bore him with your papers. Fair grader. Definatly one of my favorite professors at Harbor.
This professor is awesome an extremely helpful. He has all of the work one needs to do and when it is due on his syllabus. I would definitely recommend him, however one should know he is very anal about turning work late and with grammar, but trust me he is fair when it comes to grading. Overall, I think if one puts the effort, one will get an "A".
First time taking an online course. Would definately recommend him to anyone. Must make sure that you turn in all work. Got an A
I started in his English 101 class and loved the course as well as his teaching methods. Now I am in English 102 and am extremely glad I went with Professor Corbally again. Classes are always interesting and my writing has improved tremendously.
Awesome, AWESOME professor. Very interesting, knows English and other subjects very well. His essays are actually interesting to think about and write - I did one on a video game, and another on Roswell! Reading selections are always interesting, but from what I understand not everyone did as well on the essays as some of us. Hard grader maybe?
he is great.. online class is easy , one assignment a week with papers due every once and a while, research paper is tough but not impossible and he does not grade hard at all, easy class just gotta do the work.
awesome teacher! you have to work hard on the essays and the research paper ! i enjoyed that class very much it was funny & interesting ! take him ! =) i got a B probably bcoz i missed a few in class assignments.. im planning to take his english 102 not an easy A but you'll learn alot!!!!
What a great teacher, he merges the most boring topics into some story about his favorite Aunt Suchi and you instantly know exactly what you have to do to get an 'A' in the class. High recommended. $$
He chooses terrible books, not as easy as he seems.
Corbally is a pretty good teacher. I found him to be fairly easy. He doesn't grade hard at all; all you have to do is show up for class and do the work. The research paper is difficult but he picks good topics to write about. There's alot of writing in the class so if your not into writing: don't take this teacher!
Definitely an interesting teacher. He has interesting topics and gives interesting lectures. You will definitely have to do the work in his class and do it well if you expect to receive a high grade. If you like to actually learn and not just skate by then his class is highly recommended.
Excellent Teacher!
funny guy
HE ROCKS!
He seems to be comfortable with ANY topic! He's older but is really current with pop culture.
Picks good topics, makes everything easy to understand, I enjoyed the class there is 3 papers you have to write and one novel to read then weekly postings about a short reading its fun
best of the best.
I absolutely recommend this professor. I came into this having never written a paper and left fully capable and I did pretty good grade wise. He chooses current issues and relates them to history. One of the textbooks was made just for him, very interesting. You have to do the work to get the grade. Worth every new gray hair I got :-)
He's SO funny! I took his classes a couple semesters back and i STILL remember how much i LOVED going to his class, his lectures were entertaining and never tedious! I LOVED LOVED LOVED his class!... i wanna take english all over again... uh... that's a lie.. but I did love his class! TOO COOL TO EVER RETIRE!
Took him for eng 101,102,203 & 204, plan to take him for 218 absolutely great teacher. makes things interesting especially when you participate. very creative, very helpful & witty. im an eng major, aced all 4 classes with him, most ppl walk away with a B if you show up & try. books needed for 101, not so much for 102 (photo copy it from library)
online classes simple and straight forward. once a week post on topic, need to respond to 5 others comments (i usually did 4 & still got full marks) 3 essays (worth 100 pts ea) with an extra credit essay at the end. text book not needed, just google search story summaries. very happy with him, prefer corbally over warren. left with an a. superior
hate writing! but this class made it fun. Hes funny & cool. he'll help u if u ask & is very clear on wat he wants which is good. research paper=easy, but dnt procrastinate. 1 free rewrite on any paper.very handy & 1extra essay @ the end for those who need it =] close to a B but got lazy. lots of work but an eng class is an eng class...take him! =]
Wonderful teacher! i hate writing but he taught me a lot, he should maybe tone down his grading scale, but he was great i learned a lot , and if you ask him he'll help ,i was always in his office asking ques. very good guy you'll learn a lot, and he also lets you redo one of your papers but prepare to write a lot and a bunch of in class essays!
Essays are really long but he's VERY helpful. I hate writing but he's teaching me a lot. He always responds to emails and explains thoroughly and makes sure you understand what you are doing. He's very clear on what he wants. HIGHLY recommended!
Essays are really long but he's VERY helpful. I hate writing but he's teaching me a lot. He always responds to emails and explains thoroughly and makes sure you understand what you are doing. He's very clear on what he wants. HIGHLY recommended! HAD TO REPOST WITH MY PROPER RATING!
Great teacher!!! Take his online classes! Easy grader as long as you follow his instructions. Be prepared to do a lot of writing, but earning full credit on assignments is easy.
Professor Corbally is a good, fun choice for English 101, but I found his class to be on the difficult side, with quite a bit of work. He's a nice guy though, and is helpful in pointing out errors, responds to emails, and allows students to write a revision essay if they did not do particularly well. I was able to get a B, almost got a C though.
Wonderful teacher. Great online class-expectations crystal clear and website easy to use. You'll read a lot, write a lot and learn A LOT!
Awesome!!
Wonderful teacher, I thoroughly enjoyed taking his online class. I just loved it, that is all I could say,professional. Great vocabulary and explains things in a direct, simple comprehensive manner.
HE is AWESOME!! He is defiantly my favorite teacher of all time!! He is so weird and funny! He tries to make everything interesting. very cool teacher!
Such an amazing and passionate teacher! He really knows his stuff and fuels your personal passion. He is tough, but I guess it's because he really makes you think. When grading he really lays it out on how to improve so your not left with tons of questions. Highly recommend!
Great teacher! Very funny and entertaining, but also very knowledgeable. Be sure to take notes! They come in handy. Don't be shy to ask questions and partake on discussion questions. This also really pays off!
Really nice and funny professor. He is very helpful and makes the class interesting. I would definitely recommend him for both English 101 and 102
Took his english class online and all i have to say is that he's a wonderful teacher. As long as you turn in all your essays and do most of the discussion questions you'll pass with an A or B. Make sure you take 101 and 102 before 218 so you have the tools you need to get good scores on the essays.
This teacher is the best. He is super interesting and never boring! He is so sweet and talks so gently. He was very helpful in everything I asked him for help in. If you're looking for an epic teacher then you should take Professor Corbally. One of the best teachers at LAHC. :) <3
I took World Lit. I online with Corbally. The class was interesting, and I learned a lot. The workload is manageable. The only complaint I have is that he is very stingy with A's. I usually have no problems getting A's since I'm a lit major, but I barely eked one out in his class.
INTERNET STUDENTS: A piece of advice I would give is to do ALL of the discussion questions he has. Missing 2 - 20 point dis. ques. can lower you grade when you add them up at the end of the class. Also Corbally likes to see factual statements with evidence to demonstrate your view on things. No personal opinions, or guesses/feelings.
This teacher will help you understand so much information its amazing. He is pretty open-minded and helpful to his students, take him and you will not regret it. I'm taking his 204 class after taking his 203, Oh how I wish I can stay and keep taking his class.
.HE PILES ON WORK!! wouldnt suggest him if your taking a lot of classes. he gave a quiz on the book day 2 of class. most students didnt have a book yet financial aid doesnt come til the end of the week! but if you need to email him we will respond quickly and if you need to ask him a question he will answer. might not be the answer you needed
I would not recommend this professor as he seems to be stuck in the past and wants his students to write about topics from thirty years ago as if they were still relevant in the 21st century. Also the topics that he wishes you to write about are extremely unimaginative in nature and of little interest to someone with above average intelligence.
Do not expect to receive an A in this class as this professor will change the weekly assignments with little prior warning and is harsh in his grading. Do not even try to reason with him as he is very set in his ways and will advance ridiculous arguments to justify the grades that he gives for assignments, especially if he does not like the topic.
Avoid this guy as he thinks that he is teaching at Harvard or Oxford and not a community college in Wilmington, CA. His descriptions of what he wants from his students concerning assignments are longer than the assignments themselves. He also comes across as radically opinionated and inflexible in his thinking and mannerisms. Just avoid his class.
he is the best english teacher at harbor! totally would recommend him for both english 101 & 102 :) he is really helpful, fun and easy to understand everything in his class (:
I would HIGHLY recommend Corbally. He really helps students to understand and view literature from different perspectives and from the author's point of view. He gives about 6 essays a semester (3 outside/3 in class). It would be a good idea to get his opinion on how to focus your papers, since he is mildly tough grader.
I took English 101 with Professor Corbally this past fall. He worked through all of the elements of a paper, and I could tell it was helpful for those people that needed the instruction. He is always there to help and he is willing to explain things until you understand. You'd be crazy not to take him!
Excellent class & instructor! World Lit. & mythology are not easy subjects/topics. Found myself looking forward to online posts & discussions. Your views on the relevance of classical literature will be enlightened,expanded & enriched.
Great teacher!!!! Literally made me laugh so hard throughout the semester. Extremely knowledgable and passionate about the topics. He is very up to date with pop culture which makes his lectures fun. As long as you do all the work as the handouts say, you can get an A no problem.
This teacher is awesome! He makes you think, makes you laugh, and makes you become a better reader and writer. Asked him many questions throughout semester and he helped me every single time. He knows what he's talking about and I absolutely enjoyed taking his class. 3-4 Essays and that's it, pop quizzes here and there to check up on your reading.
Professor Corbally is an excellent English teacher. His instructions and class course is very clear and understanding. As long as you pay attention and do what is required, you will pass the class. He's very funny also. I learned a lot.
attend class and do what is assigned and you will pass. he is a good teacher and is funny.
This professor is one of the most influential person I've ever learned from. You will learn to write different types of essay, research paper, and you will also learn to enjoy having a discussion online. Assigned textbooks are REQUIRED for you to pass. Most importantly, this professor is super friendly and super attentive to his students.
Outstanding class! Literature discussions were most interesting & thought provoking. HIGHLY recommned this professor!
Great teacher, class was always interesting with fun discussions. Only complaint is I would have liked a little more feedback on my papers. Although I could have met him during his office hours to get that, had I really needed it. The major papers really dictate your grade,so do your best on those. Fun class, you can tell he enjoys teaching.
I like this professor. :) his teaching method is very unique as in the assignments & lectures are not usual, but he still keeps them interesting & fun. Plus, the essay topics were enjoyable as well as challenging. You get an A by paying attention & doing the work! He doesn't drop his standard for an A, which I appreciated greatly. 2 thumbs up :)
Awesome teacher. Really challenges you in a number of ways and incorporates a lot of philosophy in his course. Very engaging. Definitely will learn a lot.
There were too many assignments!
I do not recommend this teacher. This class was unlike any other english I have ever taken and his essay topics are extremely confusing and rather stupid. I love english and writing but this class just frustrated me. Attendance is not mandatory and he did not teach one lesson. He literally talks gibberish for an hour and a half every class.
He is one of the best English 101 teacher there is at Los Angeles Harbor College. I took him online. Do all of your reading assignments and essay papers and research paper. He clearly explains what is expected out of his class, and will answer you within 24 hour for any question you ask. Very engage with his online class. I love it!!!!!
I took 101 online. The class was enjoyable, but you have to do *a lot* of work each week to get full credit. This class is only "easy" if you're okay with a C. He has high grading standards, but they're clear and fair. The research project is a beast: start early, do not procrastinate. If you utilize this course you will become a better writer.
Prof. Corbally is one of the best english teachers in lahc! So helpful!
He is an amazing teacher, highly recommend! You obviously have to work for your grade, considering it is college; it is just a matter of applying yourself. He is always there for you if you have questions or need help. Funny lectures which makes class enjoyable. If you want to leave with knowledge, take him!
Corbally is one of my favorite professors at Harbor College. He actually takes the time to help you on your essays. I am so thankful I was able to add the class. If you want to add his class first come first serve. I was the first to come into the class trying to add and he did! I like it old fashion.
He gives way too many assignments and the essay topics don't make any sense. It is extremely difficult to get an A and class is beyond boring. I didn't learn very much from his class. Don't waste your time and money on this professor.
Professor Corbally is the best. His class is fun. He has a unique way of teaching but it's great. He explains what is expected and then you have the choice of doing the assignments the class is easy if you do the work. I enjoyed this class he is clear on what he wants and is there if you need him. Best English Professor at LAHC!

Best English Professor at LAHC! Would take him again!
Essay topics are confusing and strange. He has too many requirements for the papers and and if you don't follow them he won't grade it until you fix it. He lets you re- write an essay if you got a bad grade but just one. Overall he is a nice guy but if you want an A don't take him.
Professor C is certainly a tough grader, but a great educator. With that being said, Professor C is tough in the sense that he wants to push you to do your best, if he sees potential then he won't accept anything but the best from you. Most of the reading can be found in free pdfs online, so save your money and just look online!
He is very clear on what's required of you. There are no suprises. This professor gives great feedback and really helped me to improve my skills. It also helps that he seems like a very nice guy as well and is relatable
Professor Corbally is clear as far as what he expects from you. He gives a lot if examples to help you out in the assignments. Do your work and read what needs to be read and you will do great in this class. Professor Corbally is a phenomenal professor and is who I recommend for any english course.
Corbally is a cool teacher and is there to help you out anytime you need help. However, his papers that he assigned were very tough for me. Didnt really have homework except online discussions every week. Then we would have papers due every couple of weeks. Average class, wish I could have taken it in the fall instead of summer.
I love Professor Corbally ! He's super funny and keeps the lecture entertaining. He chooses a lot of work that has magical realism, so the assignments never get boring :D People say that he's a tough grader, but I think that if you put effort into the assignment and expressing yourself, you will do well :)
This is my second class taken with this professor and I loved it, again. You are going to need to work, but that's what makes it worthwhile. I was introduced to things I probably wouldn't have read on my own and I liked them. He gives amazing feedback on the four papers you write and it feels like he is really invested in his job.
This instructor is prolific. If you take his online class, between his syllabus & home page, you might feel overwhelmed. Once you've read both, that shouldn't be the case because Professor Corbally is only to glad to help. This isn't a difficult course, but you must keep pace with the discussions & essays, or you could fall behind, so keep up.
Cool dude... HARD Grader! Do all extra credit (sometimes he doesn't offer any, it depends on the class).... Literally every single point counts if you want to get an A. He's always updating grades on ETUDES so check your grade constantly. His three papers are the bulk of your grade, Paper 3 being the hardest. Big on following directions
Professor Corbally was one of the best professors i have ever had. Do your work, participate in class, and visit him if you need help. I enjoyed taking english because of him.
Professor Corbally is one of the best professors I've ever had. Great instructor, makes everything really easy to relate to. I made a mistake on my final research paper, and it would've been detrimental to my grade, but he emailed me and let me turn it in again because he knew that it looked like a mistake. Overall really cool guy.
Professor Corbally, is really great! I also took him for Eng 101 and its an English class so yes there will be reading. Just read the material, do the homework and respond to the discussions and you'll be fine. I recommend him.
Very straight forward execpt when it came to describing our essays. He kind of ran off about i dont know what instead of keeping it simple and easy when it came to the essays. Other than that he manage the online course pretty well i was not confused at all just. I did email him to get more clarification for essays. Responds right away by email.
Good teacher. Show up to class, participate, read the novel, and do the projects asap so that he can give you feedback. He is very good about helping you get the best grade possible. His class is interesting and so are the assignments. Lots of extra credit options!. Only reason I didn't get an A is because I slacked in the end. Got a B.
Fun, funny, and very engaged. I asked him for help with something even before the course began, and I was overwhelmed with his kindness and effort. And he really knows his stuff. You'll learn a lot. Gotta do all the work and keep up, but his syllabus is very clear about what's expected. I took 3 of his classes online at the same time.
Just finished taking him for the Fall, and I will testify to the fact that he was fantastic. He had a very clear grading criteria, and all of the information regarding the class was already scheduled so there were never any surprises about the homework! You do read, a lot, but only as is necessary to complete the assignments. Would take again!
Corbally is a good professor. He's helpful and replay to your question as soon as he can. His assignment makes you really think. If you stuck on an assignment you can always ask him for help. He's essays are based on what you're reading. Always try your best, do not be lazy because you earn your grade.
Professor Corbally is a sweet old soul but when he lectures he goes off topic alot & it just gets really long & boring quickly. He made us read weird poems & the essays were challenging. He does give extra credit & is lenient towards grading, but he definitely was not my favorite English Professor.
This was my first online class ever and I was extremely nervous and hesitant at first but I'm so happy I got lucky with such an excellent professor. He explains everything from A-Z. I have a bad habit of second doubting myself when it comes to classes and never once did I feel like that or felt confused durning this course. Don't procrastinate!
The (online) classes are based on weekly discussions and the three papers written throughout the semester. Offers extra credit every now and then and is always reachable if you need any help with anything. He also wants to make sure everyone passes and will do everything he can to help you pass. I would say one of the best and most caring teachers.
Professor is really cool and laid back. His lectures are good and fun about the subjects we are learning about. Participate in class and take notes and you'll do good and the time passes quicker.
A fantastic professor. Let me remind you that I DREAD writing. He makes the class really fun, but might go off-topic. Don't miss class because there are in-class assignments and he gives out pop quizzes! Check your syllabus regularly and you'll do amazing. You have 3 papers, a project, and assignments! Easy class if u put in work. Lenient as well:)
Corbally is an AWESOME professor. He's very thorough on what he wants you to do, and you learn a lot from him. His assignments are kinda weird, but they're fun and make sense once you get the hang of it. Don't miss out on having one of the best English Professors at LAHC, you won't be disappointed! #TeamCorbally
Highly recommend him
very good teacher one that we need the most, his lessons are straight to the point and he makes it fun to wright! best English teacher so far!
I very much enjoy this class. We read a lot and write a lot which is exactly what i wanted. I would recommend him and take him again .
Professor Corbally is amazing. It is obvious that he wants his students to succeed. He is hilarious and makes lectures really fun and engaging. He gives great feedback and doesn't mind helping and guiding you through assignments and papers. 3 papers and a few quizzes.
Professor Corbally was great! I was introduced to so much literature I would of never had discovered on my own. I love that he gives you the opportunity to do four essays, keeping your three best scores. It is because of this I was able to step outside my comfort zone and do one of his creative topics without fear of hurting my grade!
Even though there were a few essays through out the course, it was a pleasure to have Mr. Corbally as an Instructor. He has his on line lay out well explained, and he is easy to reach for questions.
Mr. Corbally is an EXCELLENT English professor. I took his English 101 course online and even though there was a lot of work assigned, I enjoyed every minute of it. He is very thorough in his lectures, is easy to follow but you definitely have to work for your grade. He's a tough but fair grader and definitely wants you to pass. He's funny too!
Corbally is a really good guy, but as a professor he is not the best. Hes a sweet guy, but his assignments are all over the place. I was lost more than half of the time in his class and I am an English major. If he is the only professor left to choose from then go ahead, but good luck having to deal with that class.
Professor Corbally outlines VERY CLEARLY, exactly what is expected of you. Importantl, the subject matter and structure of the classes are extremely interesting and fun!
Very funny and easy professor.
He is a great Professor. He grades hard on papers but his feedback is great. Hes funny and his course outline was good to have. He always answered his emails on time.
Corbally is a great teacher! Class is interesting and funny. Get ready to read, there are no text book needed but plenty of online articles. A lot of essays due but it is part of this class. Honestly just understand how to properly write in MLA format and attend class. There is a lot of in class assignments. I had to drop for personal reasons.
Professor Corbally is one of the few professors here at Harbor that you won't regret taking. He clearly states what he expects from his students. His assignments are layered in a way where the workload doesn't become too overbearing. As long you keep up with his syllabus, his class will be as easy as you make it.
Professor Corbally is the best english professor I've ever had. I am currently taking his english 101 class online. He gives so much description for his assignments. They are not hard. There are discussions every week (1 extra credit discussion at end), 1 quiz, 4 papers ( 4th one is optional, can replace a previous bad paper) and 1 final paper.
I had Prof Corbally for English 101, his class is entertaining and enjoyable, though be aware of there would be a good amounts of short and long essays due as the purpose of an English class. He offers extra credits if you go to Professor Rosas's workshop, take Prof Corbally for Eng101 then take Prof Rosas for Eng102, it is going to help you.
Professor Corbally is the best english teacher I've taken at Harbor college, he gives good feedback and really cares for his students. He doesn't grade too hard.
I took this class online. This teacher is extremely nice, helpful, and understanding. I would take him again for other classes. LOTS OF READING. Expect to have weekly reading assignments, some including an entire novel. There were three essays and the rest were discussion and responses. On the weeks that essays are due we didn't have a discussion.
Professor Corbally is amazing! He gives good feedback wants his students to succeed. I took his class in spring 2018 and barely got the chance to give him a review. Highly recommend him.
I took his online class English 101, and he gives you automatic feedback emailing you how to quickly fix the essay and gives you two days to turn it in without deducting points. Pay attention to the feedback he really tries to give his students a passing grade. I would 100% take his class again for English 102.
He is AMAZING! So funny! You will read a TON and do LOTS of homework. 6 papers due in Eng 102. But one is optional. You don't need to read station 11 tbh. There is also tons of EC offers! He gives detailed feedback and is upfront about his expectations from day 1. Follows syllabus 100%. Even if you hate English, you'll LOVE this prof.
Professor Corbally is the BEST English professor at Harbor college! He is so caring and understanding and always responds quickly to emails. I had him for English 101 and 102 online and I enjoyed both classes.
I'm taking Eng 203 online now, and I like this class! Discussion is a part of any class! You do not have to buy the book. Professor provides the links. You need to get used to the schedule! He cares about his students! He always replies on text-messages!He has a good sense of humor - he participates in discussion!Happy Valentine's Day, Professor!
Professor Corbally is one of the coolest professors Ive ever taken. Hes nice and open, you can email him if you have troubles. You need the book but you can easily find it at amazon or even find most of the readings free online. Do the assignments and you will do fine. He made the class super fun and interesting. ENGLISH MAJORS TAKE HIM !! :)
Prof Corbally was amazing. I took his Eng 102 class and got an A. You definitely have to work for your grade but at the same time he gives plenty of extra credit opportunities to help you bump your grade which was awesome of him. His online lectures were interesting and the writing assignments were actually fun to work on, for the most part.
Great professor and good to his students. Engages and gives good feedback. He participates himself and doesnt leave the class hanging. The text book is large but so worth all the reading. Overall great class where your imagination is encouraged.
Great caring prof, Gives great feedback, really cares for his students . If you follow his instructions you'll do great.
I always use this site before signing up for classes but u have never rated anyone but I felt I had to for professor Corbally. He is honestly the best professor I have ever had. His assignments are so relatable and out of the ordinary. The papers we write are on topics that are actually interesting and he goes out of his way to reply to discussions
I am currently taking Eng 203 & Eng 240 with Professor Corbally, great professor ! Always gives great insight on your papers, allows you to correct mistakes for higher grade, would highly recommend
He is one of the best professors. There's a lot of reading and homework. There are 6 papers but one is optional. He provides great feedback on assignments and is very straightforward about his expectations. I didn't like writing before his class and now I actually don't mind it! It's simple, follow his instructions and you will do fine.
Just like you I searched up Prof. Corbally before starting the class. I took this class online during covid, along with 3 other classes and I was able to manage well! Prof. Corbally welcomes all questions and will prepare you 100% for each paper. The lectures are long but not dreadful. He gives very realistic timelines, would take again!
He is truly great. He is kind gives extremely good feedback, and his lectures will make your prepared for papers. Lots of reading, but to those who love reading you wont mind it! I learned so much from this course and from the professor himself. He does have a specific manner as to how to submit work, but follow instructions and you'll be fine!
Out of all of the courses I've taken, this class had the most enjoyable content and Corbally is such a wonderful person and professor. He's very encouraging and if you're having a hard time, you can reach out to him and he's willing to be flexible and help you succeed. He always engages personally in the discussion (1 per week). 3 papers, 4th is EC
I took his 5-week summer class for English 101. This being said you must dedicate a decent amount of time, each week there was a lecture, discussion, and essay. He gives a breakdown of what he wants in each essay and each paragraph so it is easy to do well, you just need to write a lot and follow his guidelines.
I took this Professor for English 203 and it was a great choice! If u dont like writing, this class will change ur mind! All the discussion topics are so interesting and fun to do. Theres 3 essays u have to do and there are different topics to choose from including a creative writing one. As long as u do the minimum requirements, u will get an A.
Professor Corbally is very understanding gave such great feedback on my papers and discussions. Also, make sure you perfect your MLA citations!
Very helpful and involved, loves what he does. HOWEVER, he does not use CANVAS but his own website that is specific. Easy class if you're a fast reader with perfect reading comprehension and self didactic to a T. Dropped with a W because I got the flu and fell behind on my readings. LOTS. OF. READING. Do not underestimate this!
Joined his class because of good reviews, but I regret it. Everything is on his website & is littered with fluff. I would extract 1-3 concise sentences from pages and pages of his writing. My peers & I were often confused about what he wanted for each assignment. Take another professor for a normal English 101 experience.
Funny guy, good lectures. Really sweet, He's a G.
He has been teaching English at college level for almost 50 years! That's a long time! It sure shows. Yes, he uses his own website rather than Canvas. The readings can also be long and confusing. But he is very nice. Professor Corbally gives great feedback on assignments. Also, he almost always replies to emails which is a plus.
My favorite English professor by far. If you are a good writer you will pass his class without an issue. As a procrastinator myself I didn't have a problem keeping up with the materials and finished the class with an A. He responds to emails quickly. The only downside is that he does not use canvas but his website is easy to navigate through.
Professor Corbally is the best!!! Make sure you email him if you have any sort of question regarding essays/discussions. Very clear with what he wants concerning assignments. The material you need to read/research about is interesting as well!!! All topped off with one of the best English Professors out there.
He responds to emails quickly compared to the other professors, his lectures can be long but he's funny, he made me laugh out loud a couple of times, there was extra credit, and overall he's a great professor.
Mr.Corbally is a great teacher and has very clear and easy to understand grading criteria. The lectures are all online to read. There is also a lot of extra credit. I'm not the best of students, but I left the class with over 100%.
Fairly easy I came back to school after 3 years and he helped me learn to write again! Get ready to read his lectures but he gives you clear instructions. 4 essays (one freebie), 8 discussions (one freebie), and one book to read! A LOT of extra credit.
Going back to school after years and I am passing with an A. I'm currently on 7 weeks out of 8 for his class. He gives ALOT of instruction which is quite clear so be ready to read read read. I've had a few questions in regards to MLA format and he was very quick to respond and was always helpful. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it!
What helped me out was the sample papers. He is clear, I've yet to be a fan of English classes. Although he hasn't changed that. If you don't get an A in the class it's because you didn't follow his clear directions. Always available to reach, fast responses, easy assignments. I highly recommend him to anyone.
Great Professor! I took his online course. I have always dreaded taking english classes but not this one! 101 and 102 are great. He has great communication and discussions and essays are easy, he literally tells you what he wants to see. Make sure you ask about MLA format if you're not sure!
Such a great professor, always really nice and accessible. All the discussions and essays are pretty easy just make sure to follow his guidelines and read the novels he assigns. His lectures are also really good but you don't need to depend on them for assignments, theyre just kinda there for extra information. Also a pretty easy grader, take him!
He's super nice and, honestly, such a great professor. He provides clear & good feedback on your essays. For the discussions, they're there for guidance, but he's clear on what he's expecting from you on all of the assignments. His class is very organized, and he's an easy grader. I would definitely take his class again.
Prof. Corbally is THE BEST!!! I was actually sad to be leaving his class but grateful to have left his class as a stronger writer. He is very detailed and really wants the best for his students to succeed. His detailed examples and feedback is YOUR BESTFRIEND. It's nearly impossible to not pass with an A. Just apply yourself, you can do it!
Professor Corbally is extremely caring and understanding. His class is a breeze. Just do what you need to do and you'll pass. Similar to most online classes: read the instructions clearly, watch/read the lectures, and do not procrastinate. He's rooting for you to get an amazing grade! ps: DO NOT THINK TWICE ABOUT TAKING HIS CLASS!!!
Amazing Professor! Gives loads of feedback on assignments. you will not have a professor that cares this much about you, trust! The textbook was probably like $15 and the short stories are free! Reading amount is moderate, it's more reading what the assignment is about than the actual assignment:). Grades on progress! 100% recommend:)
Absolutely loved this professor would take him again. He was incredibly clear, his structure was hard to understand at first but at the end, I was flowing speeding through. He is INCREDIBLY communicative when it comes to feedback and response time. I would get a response within an hour every time, he gave clear and detailed feedback on my papers.
One of the best professors I have EVER had! Class is really chill & so is he, but he cares about his students. He picked great readings & his lectures were very engaging. Tests & assignments aren't too difficult, he just asks that you think deeply. If you're a more creative or inventive person you will for sure enjoy his projects & extra credit!
Mr. Corbally is a great professor! super easy to work with. Great teacher. I would say his English 103 is an easy A if you are just willing to sit down and learn :) not too much work. He is super easy to get ahold of and he offers a LOT of extra credit opportunities!
I would recommend Professor Corbally. He is very much involved with his students online. This class does require you to put work behind it but, it is manageable. He does prepare you to advance in your writings & gives you great feedback. He responds quick to any questions also. I would say he is lenient in his grading and wants to see everyone pass
He'll bring out the best of you. 4 Eng classes at LAHC, Corbally was better than 8 at CSULB. Offers options to let students find themselves and thrive. Never a situation where the prompts were boring or tedious. If not wanting a creative side, you can still dump a 5 page standard. Understands students' struggles, values your education, affordable
Professor Corbally is the BEST. I took all 3 years of English with him. He is very clear with his assignments and expectations and is there to help. He makes his classes fun, and he truly wants you to succeed and is easy to reach out to. I'd recommend Professor Corbally to EVERYONE.
