I happen to enjoy this teacher. He is hard, but you do learn a lot from him.

This class is interactive...that means the students are basically responsible for preparing the material. Lots of work involved and lots of writing(which he is very strict on grading) I enjoyed it and learned alot,but don't take him if you are not interested in active participation and lots of writing.

Very strict when it comes to grading papers. Lots of writing, but you learn a lot. You shoud take him if want to improve your writing skills.

This is a very great teacher. He expects the best of his students, but provides all the tools to help you. If you are a slacker, stay away. If you really care about your education, take this class and you will learn alot.

I'm not going to lie, this class was REALLY hard and i busted my butt to get a B for the semester. However he does help you plan your essays and he makes you write a thesis and outline for every major paper. But he grades very strictly and is anal about MLA format. This is not a blow off class and you will do a lot of work

this teacher is very strict when it comes to grading his papers. He does give you all the tools you will need and is there to help if you need it. Pay attention and don't wait til the last minute to ask for help. Because of his great teaching, I was able to make a 98% on my final paper and not take the final. He is a great teacher!!

I've never seen more people drop a class before, myself included. Simply put, it's a lot of work. He's extremely kind, but a no-nonsense kind of guy. If you have the time to invest in the class, take it, but if you have another class that semester that requires a lot of work and time, I would STAY AWAY or save it for another semester.

Mr. Adams is extremely understanding and goes out of his way to make sure that everyone is on the same track. He's energetic, patient, and very helpful when it comes to discussing topics. Class work includes: weekly online quizzes, mini essays, and several papers on a current event of the student's choice. Impossible to fail if you care to try.

His class will only pay off at the end!! Only take this class if you like a challenge.

Mr adams is the nicest person on the face of the planet. if you see him, say hi. However, his homework is stuffed together and you have to write ALOT of papers. Quizzes, participation, essays, annotated bibliographies, lab work, reading assignments, and current events have a tendency to be assigned all in one day. Avoid class if possible.

TOUGH HOMEWORK BUT GOOD TEACHER.

He is honestly a nice guy and he loves English. Cannot make up daily quizzes or papers. He crams homework, reading, research, quizzes, etc. and makes everything due on the same day. If you take him, you'll probably write about 8 or 9 papers and 5 annotated bibliographies. You'll pass if you do the work right, but don't take if you're lazy.

He is an excellent teacher if you are willing to put forth any effort. I had no idea how to write an essay or really much at all. I left his class a professional. I made an A pretty easily. If you aren't willing to work for your grade and learn, then this class is not for you.

CORRECTION: The comment below was NOT Hist, but Eng, my bad! :)

i have taken several classes from him the people w bad reviews just expect an easy teacher at a community college.its hard but just stay organized and keep up to date with the calendar. if you cant write go see him or the writing lab. if youre an english major take his classes they are just as hard as a university. and he knows SO much about lit

Must attend every class. If you have a moderate work load you can obtain a B or C. To get an A you must have a light work load and a lot of time & dedication. Extra credit is available. Mr. Adams gives an opportunity to rewrite the first few papers if they are turned in on time. If you ask for help he is willing to assist.

If you want to express your "creativity" and to write "freely", then take a creative writing course. Composition classes are the ABC's of grammar. So try not to get your undies in a twist if he does his job and grades you appropriately. I had him for comp II. Great professor. Knows his stuff. And is always willing to sit down and help you out.

GREAT instructor, I would take him any day. He is VERY helpful. You are required to do a lot but he tells you what is expected of you on the first day. Wish I was an English major and would take him for LIT.

I took his American Lit class in the summer and it was a lot of work, a lot of reading. There are several grades taken so if you keep up its easy to maintain an A. This class has a lot of group discussion so if thats your thing its a grat class. I enjoyed it.

This man is a great teacher. He knows what he's talking about, and he's willing to help you if you're serious about it. There is definitely a lot of homework, but he's clear about what he wants. He may look unapproachable, but he's quite nice if you talk to him. Don't be scared of him, but don't take him if you're not a serious student.

Mr. Adams assigned a lot of work, but always gave chances to rewrite. He was clear in instructions and thoroughly explained stories. He was HARD, but I learned a lot in his class. Not easy, but A's are reachable.

Ok teacher, but don't take this class unless you have a very light courseload! Assigns tons of busy work and a couple major projects.

Took his class in the summer and yes, there was quite a bit of work assigned, but if you are serious about your success it is possible to get an A or B in the class. He is helpful, but he will not give you all the answers because he cares about his students learning on their own.

Mr. Adams is nice and helpful, but he is also one of the toughest English professors at TCC! He crams lots of assignments into one day a lot and gives too much busywork. You'll do A TON of papers and quizzes. If you have a full load, a hard class, or a job, or are lazy, STAY AWAY! If you can handle a beyond heavy workload, take him. I dropped.

If you are trying to coast through English Comp II, do take him. We have had a quiz every single day since the second week of class. He is very smart however. His lectures are not that boring, but not exciting. Have not done a lot of writing yet, but soon we will. Gonna shoot for a B and I will be happy.

If you actually want to learn and develop yourself in college, then take Mr Adams. If you're just trying to earn a piece of paper, then take someone else. In this class, you can expect many essays, quizzes, and reading assignments. As it was mentioned before, this class is a real bargain. You get university quality at a community price.

If you have been out of school for a while or feel reluctant about school,Mr Adams will bring the spirit of schooling into you.He is very helpful and will let you catch up if you are behind and show efforts.He gives quizzes every class and all count.You have tons of papers/assignments to be corrected and to rewrite.This class alone is like 6credits

One of the best teachers you will find. Workload is reasonable but steady. Presentation of Literature was good. The process of preparing the research paper is a valuable and useful skill, if you plan to go further is school. This professor is straight forward and complete. Just follow the instructions and plan and complete your work.

Take Mr Adams hes the best Professor Ever hes Really HelpFul I Love Having him As A professor at first the class seems hard but he will help u every step of the way I Advice u TAKE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice, smart guy, interesting lectures also. Took him in summer and it was Hard, great for reg. semester. Lots of writting but if put forward the efford will make good grade. Do not procrastinate with this guy! Give lots of extra credit, take advantage of it, No Regrets!

If you're wanting to take Comp2 as a summer course, do NOT take Mr. Adams. Yes, he is crystal clear with expectations but it is still entirely too much work. He's a great professor...Just not for summer.

There is homework every class but it's doable. It may seem like Mr Adams isn't very clear with his instructions at first but he keeps things ambiguous on purpose, he really wants the students to get involved in the work and ask questions. The hardest part is the project presentation but he's willing to help you every step of the way. Loved him!

Seem hard to begin with... But his class is doable, very organized, crystal clear with what he expects in his class... Follow instructions, do your assignments and you'll enjoy his class...!

This is the best instructor ever!!! Yes he gives a lot of work but it is easy work. You definitely learn a lot from his class and he has an open door policy if you need help.

This instructor gives a lot of work, but it is not hard work. It can seem overwhelming at times but it is definitely a way to learn to be organized. He is an amazing instructor and very helpful.

He's a great teacher, but sometimes gives way too much work for no reason. Start on his work ahead of time and you should be fine.

This instructor is not hard at all. I am not sure why other people say he is (probably because they wanted the grade handed to them). Mr. Adams is ALWAYS available in his office to assist students. I met with him several times to go over my papers. If your score is low on an essay he will allow you to re-write. He does give hw but its not hard.

He is a tough grader but very thorough and gives a lot of help if you do not understand. He does allow rewrites on papers but not on plagiarized papers.

Mr. Adams is a great teacher. He goes into detail on helping you analyze the work assigned. He gives lots of opportunity to get extra credit, the extra credit is worth it, so I recommend doing them. He gives clear feedback on how to improve on an essay. He gives you an opportunity to fix your mistakes to get the grade you deserve.

Prof Adams was a pretty good professor, you can tell he really likes what he teaches. There's SO many essays though and he'll find even the smallest things in your rough draft for you to change. Lots of quizzes, but he lets you do extra credit by figuring out riddles (they're really simple, don't worry). Other than that, I had a good experience.

He is a tough professor, but he also cares. There is a lot of reading, and we have to analyze and quiz over everything. There are a lot of opportunities for extra credit, there were even opportunities to get 20 extra points on some quizzes. As long as you stay organized and on top of your work, you will be fine.

Mr. Adams will teach you a lot that you would need to know especially in planning and writing a professional essay. Readings and writing papers are a must for participation in this class and he is very helpful and nice to everyone when they ask a question. Overall he wants to see his students succeed, and personally recommend him.

Yes, Mr. Adams is a hard teacher. He is demanding, but he will meet you online and help. He let's you know what is expected. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to do college because I couldn't write. He taught me how.

Yes, he's tough, but you really learn the material. I feel like I'm leaving class with something useful, and I can't say that about every teacher here. He's really passionate about what he teaches.

Prof Adams was an excellent teacher. His class is very durable as long as you are committed to do all the works before it is due. He is very flexible and offers extra credits through workshops. He responds to emails ASAP which was very helpful. I really enjoyed his class and I'm sure you will too!

Good professor and takes the time to help on essays. There is a lot of reading for class, but he makes it enjoyable and understandable. He also has clear outlines and rubrics to make writing essays easy. Do the extra credit workshops in your free time!
