he is very hard. only take him if your going to be an english major
very unclear , has very soft voice so u cant hear him, teaches u how to be repetative and boring when u write,
The work is very repetative, but it's not easy!! The reading assignments aren't long, but there are TONS of essays, in class and take home. He's helpful and there for you. His grading methods are tough!
Do not take this teacher if you do not like writing under pressure.Almost every class you will write a timed two to three page essay on a article.He grades very tough! He is a nice guy but if you dont like pressure in the class,do not take this class.
assigns essays every week, including in class
This professor is so complicated. He gives the stupidest essay topics ever. He's too picky with our essays. He corrects the little errors even if they still make sense uncorrected.
Take his Monday 12:45-5:00 class. There is 10 essays. Essay 5&10 are take-home essays. Can miss up to 3 essays and still get an A;however, you have to get credit on the other 7 essays-the essays are graded credit or no credit.Pay attention 2 instructions.
he teaches you how to write correctly.you don't do any discussions so if you don't like to talk to people, then this is perfect for you. the essays are ez- just prepare at home with the outlines he gives you.& don't be creative and opinionated in essays.
Too much essay writing...We are talking about an essay a day (2-3) pages!! Essay tests were tough!! No room for your opinions..Regurgitate everything he tells you to do on your essay. Grading scale sucks! Class was on a 20 point scale for winter intercession! Craziness!!
If you feel like doing mindless, day in, day out repetative crappy ass paragraphs take this class. Dont be creative or abstract with your paragraphs just write about stupid and boring ****....and he looks and talks like Bob Newhart
I took him one semester and he's very difficult. Tons of essays, and focuses too much on grammar/structure rather than a broader range of writing, and don't include opinions or anything, because he doesn't care about that as much as proper grammar and sentence structure.
this guy really needs a reality check, he takes out his frustrations on your papers so don't take this class and support this guy's habit of destroying student intrest in the english language.
very simple class.only have to attend one of the two days a week for the most part. swich off with a take home essay and a in class and books are allowed
I really liked how from the first day on the sylabiss we knew exactly what was expected to get a good grade. He also shows you sentence by sentence, paragraph by paragraph how to write a good essay and will help you along the way if you ask for it. Very little home work, except for research paper.
10 essays plus a 4 page research project. Not exactly easy, but he explains the material thoroughly and will help you.
He's a very hard teacher, but I leanred a lot after taking his class. He does grade hard on the essays and the research papaer was not that bad to write, I've had to write worse things. But He's a cool guy and really helpful. personally, I learned a lot from his class, I wish I had him in high school so he could teach me the basics tho cuz it wo
Difficult teacher. Does not go off topic at all and is quite boring. He is helpful and is a nice guy but his grading methods are harsh.
Sounds Easy--16pts to get a C. He teaches you to write correctly, I think lols. But damn writting a paragraph is so hard. Just write paragraph and a summary everyclass. You can revise paragraph at home if you get no credit. He gives you topics to write about. Just write it the way he wants it and u pass. heO yeA thats foB! -fob16_loser
this guy is super easy. He explains everything step by step. I don't know what these other people are talking about, saying he is harsh and grades tough.the only homework given is a research paper that he totally walks you through. This instructor will help you learn the basics of essay writing in a clear, concise way.
Do not get creative with your sentences. Just have the right amount of sentences he asks for. Get a tutor for at least two of the essays. I might be one. Have a proofreader proofread three of your essays. If you do all this, you will get at least a B. Don't be late, teacher hates it. One on one, teacher is a nice guy. He will help you.
If you don't mind writing essays then go for it otherwise TURN AND RUN. All I did in high school was write essays so I was used to it plus you don't have to worry about tests or quizzes but you're on your own in the class!!! If you hate essays and are creeative than don't take him. He's SO boring!
He is a great teacher
Very strict Grader
Had the 12-5pm class. Very easy. But you have to be there everyday and on time too. But the good part is if you finish your writing you can leave. Very helpful.Mostly all in class work only one take home five page paper. Good for people who suck at english . He really helps.

If you suck at writing, you won't when you are done with this class. Not a walk in the park, but you know your grade every week and getting a C is easy.
Very strict on grading. For example if you had to write a intro, body and conclusion but, if you don't get the intro correct with the rest of the paper. You don't get credit at all for all the other hard work you did. Thats is just wrong.
This is the easiest class ever! All you have to do is show up and write essays. Just follow his format EXACTLY and you are fine. He lets you go as soon as you are done. I got a B and I didn't take the final. He makes it so easy!
This guy is a good teacher but just like they say YOU earn your grade and that couldnt be more true than with Prof. Lundquist. I like his grading policy its fair but man dont miss class it will definatly throw you off.
so far hes a good teacher, but make sure that u are awake b4 his class cuz u wont be by the end of it. he tends to speak in mono tone.

I had a fairly easy time in his class, but I'm a writer, so it came naturally to me. I would expect people without writing experience to have a tough time of it. You cannot miss a single class or your grade will suffer. Still, as a teacher, he's pretty good.
not clear in what he wants in his essays
RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!
For people who are good at writting, this class would be easy. you need to write essays every week but short essays. easy to pass, but hard to receive A.
If you really wanna learn something take his class. I'll admit I had a hard time in his class, but I learned a lot and it helped me get an A in english 110. Plus, he's a really nice teacher, never loses his temper. Unfortunately, his class is not an easy A, but its beneficial.
This guys is lame there is only 21 points in the class and if you use transition in your paper you get no credit on any of your papers, and always put your thesis in your into paragraph and you'll get credit. He is super picky there is a hard research paper at the end that he will kind of help you with but he is really no help don't take his class!
This class was the worst class I have taken in college. His grading scale of only 21 points is honestly unfair and just an easy way for him to grade papers. His teaching ability is absolutely terrible and I don't think he should be teaching. He makes English a bore and uninteresting. Don't take this class!
Run for your life. He is a very hard grader and is very unfair. His grading scale is ridiculous, only 1 point per eassy so if you do not have a 100%perfect essay you get 0 points.Very frustrating and I get seriously depressed while taking his wintersession class.
He is difficult, unfair, and misleading. Avoid his class at all times. I didn't learn a thing in his class.
If you know how to write already then this class is a good class... Only one essay a week and one final paper. No group projects everything is done individually, and only have to attend class twice one week and once the next... Its easy to get a C... but a little difficult to get an A
ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG THIS DUDE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOO UNCLEAR. ANYTIME MORE THAN HALF THE CLASS DOES NOT GET WHAT HE IS ASKING FOR THEN THERE IS A PROBLEM!!!! ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
i actually really enjoyed his english 10 class and am looking forward to ahving him for english 100
He teaches everything step by step you just have to pay attention. It is hard to get an A but a simple B or C isn't hard at all. You go to class once a week and he does the outlines for u At the end he helps you alot on your research paper and doenst leave you hangin! He keeps it real by letting you know if you should drop the class or not.
refreshingly challenging :-) he is very straightforward and does not waste time. i did not have any complaints and i learned a lot.
horrible, horrible, teacher
He teaches u to write his way or the highway... He doesn't allow for any creativity or writing flair. He is strictly by the book, black and white, strict on grading. If your thesis "ain't" perfect, he'll throw it out and give you a zero for that essay. I personally couldn't get his teaching style, so I dropped and took with another professor.
Systematic, regimented, appraoch--if you like doing things by the numbers, then this class may be for you; however, if your aproach to writing is personal, creative, imaginative, then you may feel stifled in this class. You will learn that in Lundquist's class crativity and imagiantion are evil words. In short, professional, but uninspiring; avoid.
This isn't an easy class..you need to adapt to his way of writing or drop out. This class isn't about "creative or personal writing," it's strictly "academic writing." He teaches the concept well, but it is hard to follow. Overall he's a really nice guy and is always there to help..but this class is challenging none the less.
if English is your second language, avoid him. He doest even try to sympathize at all.
Very hard teacher. Grading system is completely unfair. Leave out one key term in your thesis and you get no credit. I agree with everyone else. do not take this class
terrible
if you want to learn...dont select this professor
Credit or no credit system. 10 essays in the class plus one research paper. 5 essays are take home and 5 in class(90mins to do essay in class). You can turn in 3 credit essays to be graded for 3 extra points. Hard to get the 3 points but just get credit on your thesis and topic sentences and have 8 sentences for support par. and get the one point.
He's very strict English teacher. If u r English learner, then good lucks. His grading system is very weird. I barely passed his class with a C, 13 in class paragraphs, 4 take-home paragraphs and 3 essays. He also offered 2 EC but it's really hard to get his EC. All u need is 10/18 to pass his class. Never take his class if u r not good at English
I love English and love to write, but this professor changed all that for me. His grading system is very unfair. You either get credit or no credit. His way or the high way. He wants you to follow his format. He does not care about the content of your paper, just about his stupid format. Please don't take this teacher if you really want to learn.
I have gotten all As in English since high school. He is the first teacher that has ever given me a bad grade. His essays are very hard and his grading scale is even harder. If you If you dont interprete a book or poem how he does, automatic F. If you were'nt in his eng 100 class you have no clue what he is talking about, Do not take him.
Not very helpful and does not work with you if he has decided that you will fail the class
he is really a great teacher only if his grading system was a little forgiving, wish i didnt have to take this english class since i am math major, but i have to take this to transfer, u have to be an english jenious to pass his class, his extra credits are pointless as there is no strait answer to his questions, u have to read his mind to get an a
I always have enjoyed english and done well in it until this class. I thought the whole point of reading poetry and talking about it was to explain your interpretation of it. In this class there is only one valid interpretation and that's his. His grading is terrible and makes it nearly impossible to get an A.
Winner of the worst-teacher-ever award. Psycho grading scale. Leave your opinions, interpretations and individual thoughts at the door becuase it is either his way or an F.
If you are into creative writing don't take him. He is unsympathetic one bit to the way you are used to being taught and/or write, regardless of what you learned anywhere else. You can do all assigments and not pass unless it's up to par with his standards. His way or the highway.
I agree withthe majority of the other comments. Beware this teacher, his grading scale is ridiculous. There's no way you can 'teach' and grade in absolutes. Credit/no credit is the way he goes, and that means even if you're writing a B paper, you can get a 'no credit'. Avoid if at all possible. You'll probably fail it or at BEST get a C.
He is not cool very hard 5 in class essay with hard topics as well as 5 out of class essay with a resaeach essay.... to hard
Book is required every class meeting. Monotone.
this guy is a joke. he grades completely by the book and cannot think outside of the box at all. he has a conservative way of thinking and if he doesnt like you, dont even bother trying to pass. he teaches you absolutely nothing and even though he calls what he teaches ''analytical'' i didnt analyze one thing in that class. dont take!!!!!
He may be the worst teacher in the U.S. He is tenured so they cannot touch him. He uses an "all or none" grading approach. If you miss one item, you get ZERO credit. I have a 4.0 GPA and I dropped him to protect it. I took it with someone else and got my A. He has long lost his "passion" for teaching, that is assuming he ever had it...
Lundquist was fair & understanding. There were 10 short essays & 2 were done at home. If u make mistakes there are times when u can fix the errors & turn back in. I took summer 07 so it was kinda fast pace, but good. He tells u EXACTLY how to write ur essays. Do as he says & u will get an A. There is xtra credit & a research paper. Highly recommend
this guy has a ridiculous grading system. i went to class everyday, took notes, and did everything i asked. I still got a C. It is the only C that i have gotten so far. This guy sucks. Do not take him unless you are an excellent writer.
this is the WORST teacher EVER. I'm an A student and i recieved a C in this class. He is very unfair, very stubborn and it's either his way or u get no credit for the class. he's THE WORST TEACHER. HE SHOULD QUIT TEACHING, and find something he actually likes to do. he made me hate my life and English. DO YOUSELF A HUGE FAVOR AND DON'T TAKE HIM.
I TOOK THE CLASSIN WINTER, I WAS DOING REALLY GOOD AND HE DIDNOT MAKE ME PASS FOR JUST ONEPOINT EVEN THOUGH I ATTENDED ALL CLASSES MEETING AND WITH ANY OTHER TEACHERS THEY WOULD MAKE YOU PASS.... BUT OH WELL, I DONOT ADVICE YOU TO TAKE HIM IF U WANT ENJOY THE CLASS....
I think he's a really easy teacher. We had 15 summaries and in class Short answer "exams". He outlined everything and the questions aren't that hard. We had 2 exams and 3 out-of-class essays. Nothing too difficult. Attendance is mandatory. He gave us 2 extra credits and they're so easy! I didn't really have to study for anything in this class!
He is very hard and his hand-writing sucks. All you do is write essays, and his grading system is ridiculous!!! Even when you turn in work, you dont always get credit for it. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!!!
this is by far the worst professor i had in college. the only reason i dont have a 4.0 is because of him. he gives A students c's and fails everyone else. DO NOT TAKE THIS GUY. HE IS HORRIBLE. I took eng 110 in winter intersession with another professor and got an A. save yourself a horrible semester and DO NOT TAKE HIM
Terrible teacher. I have always done well in English and practically failed this class. No legitimate instruction as per his research essays (until after they are returned with a majority of 50%). INSANE grading scale (whole class worth 20pts). Not recommended ever! No real life application. Terrible! Avoid like the plauge!
He is the worst teacher ever. His work his hard doesn't explain anything . Really hard class and boring.
Very difficult class becuase you have to write so many essays, almost one a week. Makes you work very hard and sometimes it is not even worth it because you can get 0 pts on the essay. Grading system is the weirdest one I have ever seen. Only 18 points possible in the class and you can only miss one point to get an A. He's difficult and frustrating
By far the worst professor I have ever taken. His grading scale is absolutely ridiculous and the format he wants the essays in are impractical. He grades very hard, will give a zero if you have 9 sentences in a paragraph. Find a different professor. If stuck, follow the rubric WORD FOR WORD.
Lundquist provided clear-cut instructions on how every paper needs to be done. You don't have to be an intelligent writer to pass, but you have to be able to follow directions. With two chances for extra credit, how can you go wrong? I feel like I've gone through English bootcamp, but I'm leaving with a newfound confidence in essay writing.
went to class everyday. Everything was pretty much in class which sucked. his grading scale is horrible. Hated the way he taught. Writing sucked. He's horrible
He is the Red Foreman (from The 70's Show) of English Teachers,he looks and acts just like Red, he's a hard ass but very clear with what he wants from you
He's tough on you but wants to see you stick it out. The point system he uses can seem impossible to achieve a good grade. Overall, he breaks you down and builds you back up again. Good luck. =)
horrible. he expects something from you but does not explain how. i didnt not know the answer to an essay and i went to my uncles.. an english proffessor at UCI and he did not even know what to say he was in shock of him. say much?
the whole semester is based off a 21 point grading system. pass or fail class. his teaching method is ridiculous, he isn't fair when grading, and is not in anyway helpful. you're way better off with another professor.
After the first essay was returned the instructor told the class that all our essays sucked. The class started with 32 students, after 3 weeks there are 11 students left. Apparently our essays weren't the only thing that sucked.
For whoever in the future read this, DO NOT EVER take his class, unless you are a FREAKING GENIUS NERD WHO KNOWS HOW TO DO AN ESSAY PROBABLY. He's not gonna teach u anything, go in and write essays, once a week,his grading system based on a 21 points which will make sure your average grade is C. Trust me, he is not even the least you wanna go with
BY FAR THE WORST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD. he doesn't explain anything but expects you to know exactly how to do it. his class is based on a 15 point grading scale but it is impossible to get points in his class unless you are an absolutely perfect writer. he is not helpful what so ever. save yourself the head ache and money and DO NOT TAKE HIM
As a teacher he is completely worthless. 10 weeks into the semester and I haven't learned a thing, except to fulfill his check list. That is not writing, that is bogus. When I go on to a university I will have to deal with a new teacher with a new style of writing. So why learn to fulfill his check list when what I really need is to learn to write?
His grading is a joke. there are only 26 possible points in the class and you need only 15 to pass (its not that easy) i did everything i needed to and still may not get a B his test are extremely hard even though there are only two. you need to go to class to pass u dont need the book only for hw but you can photocopy at the libraryDO NOT TAKE HIM
Horrible teacher.. he is clear that he wants you to write a structured paper, but then deducts points when you dont write it in HIS words (even if structure is perfect). His grading system is detrimental to your GPA .... you earn a 100%, a 50% or a ZERO there is no in between. If you type a good paper one mistake pretty much fails you.
Grading is hard and ridiculous, based off of a single point system. He was helpful to me, but the class ended with ~6 students. It gets easier if you stick with it, and he will check your papers if you ask. A class you have to stick with until the end before you can appreciate it. Unless you are sure you can pass, don't take this class.
In all of my years of education, I cannot be emphatic enough about this teacher being the worst I've ever had. He has no passion or enthusiasm, shows up utterly miserable, disengaged, and lifeless. He tasks you with work that he cares nothing about. He looks at you with this vacant expression as he delivers perfunctory responses. He's a failure.
