Mr. Hanson awesome. He tells jokes all through class. He doesn't mind funny people. He appreciates humor. He explains things until you get them. The mid-term and final, and all "practice tests" are open-notes. As long as you do the homework, study vocab, and do good on your research project, you are guaranteed an A.

Although Professor Hanson's class is easy to pass, I believe it has helped me become a much more proficient writer. He is very clear on what needs to be done for the assignments and gives encouraging feedback. He also responds to emails quickly. Take his class if you need to take ENGWR300!

Wouldn't take again

I had to drop this class. I've dealt with enough bad match professors and suffered through them, and I didn't want to do it again. He's very blunt and I got a bad vibe from him from the start. He's probably great, he seemed very polite and caring when I emailed him I was dropping, but I knew I wouldn't be happy in the class.

He is one of the 3 greatest English teachers I have ever had the pleasure of taking. I took him back in 2019 and the experience was incredible. He was unbelievably easy to access and super understanding. I had a family member commit suicide which threw me off a lot in the semester that I had him and he was able to help reel me back in after that.

Professor Hanson is such a great professor, I don't like English that much but Professor Hanson made it so easy. You do have a lot of reading, and its not super boring so you can read and understand what you read. You do not need a textbook for this class, he provide the reading. I also took him for English 300 College Composition. He is the best!

Assignments were given, usually 3-4 essays, 3 weeks given to complete them. Very clear guidelines and rubric. If you at least attempt each assignment I don't see why you wouldn't get at least a B. Gives clear feedback but expects you to use it moving forward, that's not unreasonable.

If you're confident in your writing and reading skills out of high school (and didn't take any APs and attended Sac City), then definitely take Hanson. His class is easy and you'll actually learn (especially from the final paper), and he opens everything in Canvas up to the final assignment. You could wipe out the whole course in 3-4 weeks easily.

Had him for Fall 2023 & I'll tell you he is the most engaging and amazing professor ever. He does talk a lot but that's besides the point. Lectures are very clear & grading is also very clear. Just do the work & that's your A right there. The way he has his assignments formatted is that you have 2 weeks to complete 4 assignments. 10/10 professor

I took this class asynchronous for the Spring 2024 semester. There are 5 modules, each with an assignment, "quiz", discussion, and paper. I found the assignments to be straightforward to knock out. He posts everything at once so you can easily work ahead. He was a very fair grader and frequently updated his grades. I would take this professor again
