Great class! People either love him or hate him.

lil weird, but gave me a 4.0 in the end... good guy :)

This class involved a lot of work, but it forced me to improve. He tends to joke a lot, and it can be hard to tell when is joking or serious. He devotes a lot of time to students, and helping them succeed with their writing. I don't regret this class.

John is great. If you don't feel like putting effort into your writing, do not take him. He does voice his opinions, but he doesn't grade you down if you voice yours.He will help any student that needs help if you show effort. I wish all profs were JOHN!!

JOhn is very intimadating at first but he really is the nicest person. He goes to great lengths to make his students become awesome writers. That is if you are willing to put some effort into it! I'm happy I had him!

I hated John at first. He was mean and rude to everyone. However, I figured out that he liked to push everyone to do the best that they could do. Believe me you can live through his harrassment for one semester. Trust me it will be worth it.

My name is Borce Dilevski. I am a student from Oakland University and I am from College Pro. I had this great guy and he is the greatest writing teacher of all time. I recommend to all Oakland University students to take this teacher for writing.

Oh boy, this guy just pissed me off very much. He was always pushing his animal rights, ecofeminist, biocentristic agenda on us. To be fair, he is a good writer and I ended up with a 3.8 in the class, but you can only write about anti-human liberal crap

This is Borce Dilevski again. Why are all of you OU people hating this guy? He is the greatest writing teacher of all time. OU people listen to me. By the words of Borce Dilevski,believe me and trust me and take this great man for writing.I love this

All he's looking for is a little effort. The class is a piece of cake. He extends almost every assignment and works with you....the student. Don't let these slackers scare you off. Rhetoric is God.

This is once again your favorite guy Omar Naqui look alike. Now how many times do I have to tell you clowns that this guy is the best of the best. He's of those guys you will just fall in love with. By the words of Jason Perez, this man is the mexican.

Nice guy but there is a TON of work involved.

Challanges you to do your best. 10 page papers are nothing-stop being lazy!. Great professor, funny, sarcastic, has strong opinions, but respects your opinion if you are able to respectively support it (not like michael moore).

John is a good teacher and he does expect a lot from his students. Yes, you will do a ton of work in his class, but you will learn a lot. He's sarcastic, down to earth, and willing to work with students who put forth an effort.

LOTS of hard work. He's VERY confusing, but if you constantly ask questions, you won't be confused. I annoyed him to death w/questions, but knew exactly what I was doing when nobody else did. I should have failed for too many absences, but got a 3.6 for my hardwork and writing (he said so himself).

If you can't handle alot of work, then this teacher isn't for you. He is one of the coolest teachers I have ever had but also one of the hardest. Assignments are always pushed back so you always have plenty of time to finish. Enter at own risk!

Not your usual professor, but that is exactly why you should take his class. This is a required class at OU and it was by chance that I had him for 150, but chose him for 160. Yes it is difficult, sometimes he's scattered, but he will always help and you will learn how to write. Challenge yourself!!

exeptional instructor.gave students total freedom in assingments.very bias, but just go with it. he is caring and compassionate. you are able to do pretty much whatever you want, just show up.he knows alot about writing and you will learn.just be open to anything and everything.you will never meet someone like him again enjoy it!some think he

John was a really dreat teacher. He's like one I've never met before. He does give lots of freedom, and he's just fun. You can barely understand him or what he's trying to teach but it's worth it. He's very out there. He might grade hard, but he means well

Awesome teacher!

John is a very great teacher. He always seems to make the whole class laugh as well as answers all the questions we ask, unlike other professors that dont answer the questions. He has taught the whole class and I many new writing techniques. He is an awesome teacher overall!

John is an caring professor he hlps you a lot. He lets you trn assignments in late. He always reply to your e-mails. He is a little weird but he doesnt want antbody to fail his class. If you go to class and do the work you will pass with flying colors very easy course.

I enjoyed taking John's class. He is unclear on assignments sometimes, but this won't hinder a good student. He grades hard during the term, but I haven't heard anything bad about final grades. He likes to have open discussions about life issues.

Although John was a very difficult teacher, the one thing I really liked about him was the fact that he was willing to answer my questions and help out (I've actually had teachers who would yell at me if I asked a question). As much as I hated being in his class becuse of the work load, I learned so much from him.

I got an A on almost everything. He wasn't the clearest but he knows that so he always gives you more time when he changes something. Not just a boring prof talking on and on, actually a really interesting person to observe and learn from.

John is a good guy. I was first turned off by his odd techniques, but later came to enjoy his style, humor, and knowledge. His final grades aren't bad, but during the term he'll be on you. Plan to attend class and talk about everything under the sun. I slacked the first time through, and took him again by choice.

John's class structure comes off as difficult, but if you get a handle on what he wants you to do, and you make an effort, he's more than willing to work with you and your grade. He's a real interesting guy, and discussions can be a lot of fun/ very meaningful in this class.

i really liked him. he's a great teacher and i learned a lot in his class. just follow the guidelines that he wants and if you have questions, ask ahead of time. don't start papers last minute. hes a nice guy and very funny and easy going.

nice guy, just go to every class and follow the guidelines. he's funny and easy to get along with if you do what he requires of the class. he is very passionate about his views on the world and voices them loud and clear. if you dont agree, you are welcome to write about it. just MAKE SURE you have a very very good argument.

His guidebook tells you everything and it is a bible to making it through the class. The extra credit is easy and he doesn't grade it very strictly and gives you points no matter how good or bad it is. He grades the same way every time. On the final paper, he's really strict about the works cited.

honestly i don't know why there are so many bad reviews on john. he was extremely helpful when i had him, and he wanted everyone in his class to succeed. if given the chance, i would take another class that he teaches again.

He's hilarious and very interesting. You must attend class and participate and you will do fine.

Well, John can be funny at times, i feel that for a 102 class he expects much. If you are a hard worker and attend class you will be fine. Laid back style of teaching. I recommend him. Kind-hearted and he loves when students take interest in his class.

Always available, very down to Earth.

I took this class 3 years ago (his last term at OU). He is demanding and exact about what is required in the papers. He wants you to research thoroughly, write concisely, even think critically. Does not like 'fluff.' Do not expect to slide through any of his classes.
