Very easy to pass. I easily got an A. As long as you go to class and do the assignments on time you will do fine. He cares about students and their success. Overall a really great experience.
Lars is a fabulous teacher.
Professor Crombie was by far the best teacher I've came across! Lets you turn in late work up until the final. Extra credit opportunities GALORE. He's funny and understandable. Doesn't care about attendance. Class was extremely easy, he will force you to get an A or better.. literally ;)
Mr crombie was a great teacher. He works well with late assignments and allows you to turn in anything you've missed before his full deadline.
Professor Crombie was great. The only possible way you will fail this class would have to be because you broke your toes & fingers and couldn't even send an email regarding your whereabouts. It isn't an easy A but you must be prepared to write. Gives lots of EC opportunities and a chance to turn in all late work at end of semester.
Professor Crombie is the best. He gives phenomenal feedback on your papers and is willing to help you with anything. He also gives really good handouts like on how to write a research paper and a works cited that will help you throughout college. Definitely take him if you want to learn and want an A.
He's always telling long stories and sometimes goes off on a tangent during the lecture. He has class all the time, especially when its uneccesary.
Professor Crombie is an amazing teacher, he explains everything so well that it is impossible to fail any assignment. He also gives several extra credit opportunities through out the semester. It was definitely the easiest 6 week class I could have taken. Attendance is optional in his fall and spring semesters. But mandatory in summer.
He's always willing to help you and his class isn't too hard to begin with.
Crombie is an ecstatic teacher! There are a few papers, but they're easy then there's a research paper that he usually grades hard on. Quizzes every other wk on a story you read, SO EASY. He also gives you a chance to revise a paper. Overall, he's a great teacher and really knows how to break things down to a simpler concept. An easy A for sure!
Mr. Crombie is an awesome teacher. He is very understanding with students and will work with you if you need more time or help on things. His class is fun to be in but he hates cell phones!
Mr. Crombie is a great teacher. Definitely cares about his students and wants them to succeed if they decide to go onto university levels. It's a lot of writing but that is to be known since it is an English class. Gives clear instructions for his papers and gives good feedback to let you know what to do to improve your writing. Would take again.
Professor Crombie is the coolest professor i've ever had and i've been to 3 colleges so far. He is so understanding of personal things (being sick, flat tire, family emergencies). He makes class interesting and is hilarious. 3 main assignments, no mid term or final. I turned in something 3 weeks late he gave me full credit
Professor Crombie is in two words - the bomb! This man's teaching technique is so different from your typical professor and it WORKS. He definitely cares about his students and I must admit I am now a much better writer because of taking his class. He is VERY helpful, understanding, hilarious, and I would definitely take him again if I could.
AMAZING TEACHER!! he really cares about his students, he gives amazing feedback and all his papers are really well explained almost possible to fail. take him if you can!
He's the best teacher I've ever had. He's good at what he does and he knows it. Get ready for daily pot refrences and being able to speak your mind in every paper you write. A definite must for a TCC student.
A great professor. If you are looking for an easy A AND to learn how to properly write, take this class. He truly cares for his students and will help you no matter what! TWO THUMBS UP!!
Very easy and helpful class. He is very understanding and is very open to working around his students' needs. Would highly recommend to someone who lacks in the writing area because Crombie will make sure you get comfortable with writing.
Professor Crombie was everything described in these comments below. He's a very understanding Professor and what he teaches actually sticks in my mind. He has the psychology of teaching down pack. He knows that our attention spans are short so he cuts his lectures up by sections so we wont space out. I highly recommend Professor Crombie, Thanks!!
He is one of the best teachers that I have.
Mr Crombie is Amazing! He is head of the English department & for a good reason. He is brilliant & realistic in his teaching style! He works well with students that have difficulty with writing, is patient beyond belief & makes writing interesting, if you can believe that! Loll. Take his class if you want to be a better writer, you wont regret it!
Mr. Crombie has been by far one of my favorite English teachers. He is understanding and cares about his students success. He gives great feedback on how to better your writing skills. Take his class I promise you won't regret it!!!
Crombie is an awesome professor who cares about his students. If you struggle with writing he'll help you as much as he can. He even gave an APA vs MLA lesson for those of us who were confused. Go to his essay workshops which are in class before an essay is due, you earn extra credit!
Professor Crombie is the best teacher I've ever had.
Definitely the best english teacher i've had so far. most teachers just say "you're in college now you should know this" while crombie took the time to teach it anyways. he said to get the textbook but we barely used it. He gives great writing feedback and he's always willing to help.
Great professor and he has a good teaching style. Very helpful and encouraging.
This man changed my whole perspective on writing. He is a gem at tcc. PLEASE take him, you will not regret it. This class is an easy A if you do what is asked. And he basically gives you the answers to the final, he wants you to pass
One of the best teachers i've ever had and cares about his students a lot! You wont regret taking his class.
Professor Crombie was one of the best teachers I've ever had. He was incredibly helpful, informative, caring, and encouraging. He provides students with everything they need to succeed, and he really wants everyone to do well. He will go out of his way to assist a person who is having a problem.
Great guy if you go to class and turn things in on time easy A
The BEST English teacher ever!!! He cares about you and the subject!
He cool. But he does get a bit boring when he talks forever. BUT hes a good guy
By far one of the best English professors Ive ever had. Hes very passionate about writing AND seeing his students succeed. Almost every writing assignment gave the student so much freedom in regards to picking a topic. His incorporation of humor into the lectures helped me memorize different definitions, too. After this class, Im a better writer
Great teacher, expect to stay full length of class everyday to be lectured the whole time. Anyways he is a great person who cares and wants students to receive As.
Crombie is amazing! I'm taking him for summer express. He really cares and wants his students to succeed, i'm so happy to be in his class I will honestly be a little sad when this semester is over.. He is not a professor who's here to trick his students, give bad grades, or just collect a paycheck. He wants everyone to do good. Do work for an A.
He is an amazing teacher. He helps those who miss class but have good reason. He is very understanding and will go out of his way to help. He does have a textbook you read articles from but it isn't hard. He gives lots of extra credit. He is very laid back but also has clear expectations. Overall I'd pick him to be my English teacher.
Mr. Crombie is absolutely amazing. He connects to everybody and loves what he does. Very knowledgeable and passionate about work.
Mr. Crombie was really funny and helpful! Ask for the Magic Trick! Their is tons of writing in this class. Do all your work and you are guarantee to pass the class. 3 Essays, 10 Journals, 4 EXP, 9 Quizzes, 2 Timed Writings. If you fail the final exam for this class do yourself a favor and stop going to college and focus yourself on something else!
its hard not to pass, even if you barely show up! Papers are easy and there arent many in class assignments just quizzes and journals which are super easy!
Professor Crombie was one of my favorite teachers I've ever taken at TCC. Though I was never fond of taking the course to begin with, he quickly changed my mind. I feel that this will be the best experience of my college education solely based on the way he connected with his students . 10/10 this guy rocks! Simply read, pay attention, and pass.
Crombie is a great teacher, we do go off on some stories from time to time, but he gets done what needs to be done. is truthful, and shows you exactly what he wants from you. Gives good amount of extra credit and even tells you the days when to show up to get it. He is very knowledgeable about the topics covered. I would defiantly take him again.
Super funny and chill teacher. He is very relaxed, understanding, and really cares about his students. You really just need to go to class and turn something in to pass.
Professor Crombie was great! He did take a long time to grade papers but that was the only downside to this class. He makes it impossible for you to fail and you learn a lot about writing techniques. He does go off on a lot of rabbit holes but he really cares for his students and half the time you don't even have to be in class! Easy A!
I LOVED professor crombie!!!! amazing sweet teacher, very easy class if you just do your work and attendence isnt necessary but most of all his quiz grades are simply just showing up to class!
I took professor Crombie during the madness of COVID-19 and I have to say this man is a heaven sent angel. Through distance learning he would message us and tell us how much he missed us all which I think it's so rare and special. He graded fairly and quickly!! Taken him in person!! You will not regret it, he's an absolute gem!
Hes very understanding if you come to class youll pass.
Honestly, I loved this man he was great and funny, his lectures were always good, papers are so very easy, he isn't a tough grader, and you don't have to show up to pass, but he does give a participation grade so yeah. Quizzes are easy just read.
I highly recommend, Mr. Crombie. His teaching style is simple yet effective. He gives each of his students individual attention, lets you know where you stand, and what you need to do. He Doesn't over-complicate the writing process but in fact, simplifies it. Definitely take!
Professor Crombie was a really great teacher and especially when we had to move online for the virus! He made the papers and essays enjoyable and understandable. Get ready to talk about some controversial topics but he was super respectful and never biased at all! Very kind and told him really funny stories. Gave lots of extra credit opportunities.
Professor Crombie is an amazing writing teacher. He makes writing easier and simpler. At first he seemed sort of intimidating and I thought he was a little weird; he'd ramble sometimes, and he's make us discuss some controversial topics. Even though I was turned off at first by his personality, I came to respect him as a great instructor.
Hes very understanding. & he actually helped with essays
Master simple, handle complex. Crombie is the best, very eccentric and unorthadox. Easily one of the most rewarding classes I've ever taken. Makes you a much better writer without making you stressed out over assignments. Will have to go to class, but you will prob enjoy yourself.
One of the best English teachers at TCC. Teaches new writing techniques that will improve your papers and reduce the stress of writing a paper. Advocates against an arbitrary word count in favor of a natural flow of writing. "Master simple, handle complex."
Awesome professor finished with a 98%
Just a great guy and gives good feedback. He inspires me to keep writing.
He's so fun, sweet, calm, caring and relaxed. Sit back and enjoy. Do be ready to chime in when he asks "how was your day" he doesn't ask for much. mini-essays throughout the semester
Hands down one of the best professors I have ever had! He cares so much about his students and just wants you to care what he is passionate about in return.
He just wants his students to enjoy the writing process! Super understanding and cares!
Professor Crombie is an interesting character and he makes British Literature more interesting. His approach to teaching is on the casual side. He is available outside of class if you need help. DEFINITELY recommend him.
One of the best in the whole English Dept. It was an honor to learn under him. Taught me things that helped me on my University level papers. Gives you every opportunity to succeed. Quite patient too, even with a slacker of a student like me. Lots of freedom on your essay topics.
It was an honor learning from Professor Crombie! He made writing entertaining again and grants you freedom to express whatever you want through it. He values authenticity and communication, which is rare these days. As a student journalist, he definitely reminded me why I chose my path and encourages his many students to pursue their own!
Professor Crombie's class was great! I would definitely recommend him. He's very well at teaching English and he interacts with his students good. Easy A if you do the work and participate :)
Mr. Crombie was easily one of the best teachers I've ever had. He really cares about your well being and understands that we are human and life happens!! He is super understanding and willing to help you. He mostly lectures but keeps it interesting. He seems like a very wise, humble man. Great teacher TCC is lucky to have him.
One of the best professors I've ever had every caring and easy to work with. 10/10 recommend his classes
I love this guy. Where was a teacher like Mr. Crombie when I was in high school. You can tell he cares abut his students ACTUALLY learning and I thoroughly enjoyed his class. A lot of extra credit is offered and he will personally help you with all of your exams so long as you email him before the due date. (5/5)
He was the best teacher ever. Lecture was very interesting. 10/10!!!!!
Absolutely amazing professor. He's very personable and gives persuasive lectures that allow you to grasp new concepts he's trying to convey to help you become a better writer both for this class and after it. Assignments are very clear and the class has a good structure with plenty of time to complete papers and he gives personable feedback.
Professor Crombie was always ready with lectures. His assignments were simple to follow and he gave us more than enough time to finish our papers. He made himself available to help answer questions we had or he would guide us in a different direction if needed. Very patient and understanding. Gentle and personable.
Great Professor. Kind and caring. Gave feedback that helps you grow as a writer. The class material was excellent and easy to understand. Very caring man. Assignments are geared toward student success.
More than one assignment each week but they are easy to do if you read what's online and come to class. Not a tough grader and makes sure you're getting a good understanding of what's being taught. I would highly reccomend this professor.
Crombie is one of the best professors at TCC. The writing techniques I learned helped me out my thesis papers later. Flexible with essay topics, even lenient on deadlines (long as he knows you're doing your best). Quite patient too, even with a slacker like me who failed 1102 previously.
Professor Crombie is a delightful, encouraging, and dedicated instructor. He delivers clear instructions and I would take his class again if I could.
I am writing this review years after taking his class because he was that great of a teacher. I still often think about how he inspired me to be a better writer, as well as enjoy writing. Thank you so much, Professor Crombie!
Probably the best English teacher there is. He is very passionate about teaching and gives very good lectures. He also likes giving lots of good feedback and he will make you a good writer if you listen to him.
Wonderful professor, never failed to make class interesting and fun, yet never lacking in information. He clearly knew and was passionate in what he taught and gave incredible feedback. He was very understanding of other classes taking up inordinate amounts of time and was always willing to help you one on one, and even extend due dates to help us.
The class itself was easy. Some days are lecture days and others are in-class workdays, which is helpful because we had little to no homework. Assignments are easy to complete and pass, he allows revisions on all assignments so there's no reason you shouldn't have an A. Provides several extra credit opportunities. The class is just a few essays.
This class is super easy thanks to Professor Crombie. Assignments are not difficult and his lectures are great and understandable. 10/10 would recommend
If you can take his class definitely do! One of the best professors I've ever had. You can tell he's passionate about teaching really cares about making an impact.
Professor Crombie is the best English professor I ever took! Couple essays but very easy to do. Lots of extra credit!! Ended this class with a 112%. No reason to fail this class because he is a great professor!
Best professor I have ever had. He is very thorough when grading, so you get lots of good feedback! Almost every week there is an opportunity to receive extra credit, so even if you do not get the best grades on essays you can still get a high A in this class!
Professor Crombie was one of the first English teachers who actually encouraged me to want to write without feeling like I was forced to write. He provides great feedback and gives extra credit as well If you just show up to class which is just amazing, I would def take his class again.
Prof. Crombie is absolutely so amazing. He deserves all of the hype. His class and assignments are pretty easy and the work load is not bad. He genuinely seems like he cares and it shows. So many extra credit opportunities. I literally have a 530% in the class. Absolutely take his class if you want an 'easy A' and happiness.
Professor Crombie is a kind man who truly loves what he does. Gives lots of extra credit opportunities. If you miss class, you can make up for it, by doing an online assignment. He reads through the essays and gives valuable feedback. Hard to fail this class, would take again!
Professor Crombie was honestly a sweetheart. He was very understandable and very lenient when it came to assignments. Only did 3 essays the whole semester and the essays are very easy and he gives you a lot of leeway with the way you can write them. His lessons can get very boring if you are in a class that is less chatty but I enjoyed it.
best teacher i've ever had and very understanding so it helped me actually learn what I wanted to learn
He is an amazing professor that loves his job. He does like talking so sometimes it can be difficult to focus but just try to listen the best you can. Honestly just show up to class and you should pass as long as you turn things in. There are a few essays but not difficult and well timed and explained. I definitely recommend taking this class.
If you have the opportunity to take this class. I recommended it is such an easy-going class. The professor makes it even easier. I really enjoyed this class. 10/10! His classroom has such friendly vibes. And if you need any help or questions, he does reply as fast as he can! Entering his lecture he keeps it real. NO HONOR-LOCK OR TESTS
