Great Teacher, work is extemly easy as long as you dont jerk yourself off through the semester.
Dr. J is a great teacher. He's class is pretty easy as long as you pay attention. He's very workable and understanding. Really knows his stuff! A great all around guy. Will make sure you understand!
This guy's pretty cool. He may come across as a little creepy at first, but he's really not. One requirement you must have, is the abitily to participate in open class discussions. All you really need to do though, is pay attention, and participate.
pay attention...he knows his stuff, wants you to participate, you can learn from him!
very smart.must participate in class activities. Good sense of humor.
Nice teacher. Definitely challenging. Goes strictly by the book, so don't think of trying to cut corners with him because its simply impossible. :D
I think that if you like being treated like you are not worthy and like to be around arrogence you will be fine. Hes a male shovenistic... All around JERK. Hes very good at smooth talking,mean while making you feel stupid. Doesnt teach expects you to know
A great teacher, papers and assignments not too difficult, and he's pretty good assigning grades on work. A MUST though..you are expected to participate in class discussion!
Dr. Juchartz is one of the greatest instructors I've have ever had at MCC. I have been here for 3 years (full time everytime) so I have had a lot of instructors. IF you just pay attention and try your best in his class you should do fine.
Great teacher, gives you a chance to revise all of your papers until the end of class, and takes the revision into account when calculating your grades. Overall he has a different, but good approach to teaching.
I took his AA Lit class. This was the worst class I have ever taken. This guy was a jerk. We had to get up in front of the class for the final and do a poetry slam. Not an easy thing to do and he made fun of mine.
1 of the coolest professors I've had. He makes you learn by leading you to what he's trying to teach.
Took the class, it was pure arguement. So if you like to bicker this is the class for you.
This guy is the biggest jerk. He's full of himself and loves to hear himself talk. Avoid!

This class is very interesting.Highly recommend it.I was nervous at first being a caucasion student,but I never felt uncomfortable. Slam poetry final is difficult, but my class was supportive.One note- be on time!Quizes are given exactly at time class starts-No exceptions.Dr J is a great instructor.
Great teacher---listens to you and wants to help you write at your best. Interesting class discusions too.
Arg:::This guy is a pompus ass! I did not like his arrogant attitude when I would ask him questions on papers. He always corrected you if you didn't call him Dr. Juchartz! Give me a flippin break he works for a damn community college not Harvard!!
The guy below this is wrong b/c in tec writting dr. jucarts teaches you that business letters have to be acurate, thats the ONLY assign. where he makes you get his name right. He is really a good teacher and will help you on anything you need to work on or just want to talk about.
Nah, you're wrong when you say he's cool. The guy is an arrogant jerk. Look at the series of people who say the same thing. It's trouble when the teacher is in love with himself.
Class is based on discussing SCI-FI short stories, a few films and one novel. Students write 3 papers during the semester. He lets the students teach the class, but will corral the discussion where it needs to go if neccessary. He is open to new ideas regarding the material, and it's a fun class.
GREAT TEACHER VERY HELPFUL
Loved the class, Loved the doc. And whoever's saying he won't let you call him anything else, we all called him Doc J, The Doc, and a lot of other variants that he never commented on, so... Yeah. Great Teacher, great class. It's worth it. I actually found him to be quite humble, too.
GREAT SOLID TEACHER. MAKES CLEAR WHAT HE WANTS. HE WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME TO WANT TO TAKE HIM THREE TIMES FOR DIFFERENT COURSES. IF YOU WANT A TEACHER TO MAKE YOU THE BEST COLLEGIATE WRITER YOU CAN BE YOU SHOULD TAKE HIM.
Great Teacher, very helpful!!! made me a better writter:)
I think Juchartz is in love with himself and it shows when you take him. He plays favorites too. I get a 4.0 from shafer in 101 and barely pass juchartz. You figure it out.
Dr Juchartz is the professor that ALL college students need to start with! He used a workshop style with each paper which I found to be helpful. I actually enjoy writing now. I would recommend him to everybody and will take him again myself. He is the real deal. Too bad there are not more like him!
One of the best professors I've had. Always helpful and if u had questions or just wanted to rant he would talk to you.
Dr. J is the best!!!!!!!!!
I've been in this class for 2 weeks and I already love it!! I can already tell that he is an awesome teacher. I like the way he teaches. Enough said
Dr juchartz is the best professor ive had so far! he makes class fun but also makes sure we learn everything required. my writing skills have inproved 100%
His class was great I loved it. Excellent I am evening going to take him for english 102. I did so well. It was fun to be in his class everyday.
Dr. J. is AWESOME! You will not find a better prof at Mott, or anywhere else. He made a true impact on my writing for the better. He is an all around great guy and I would recommend him to anyone. This guy is my mentor! If you take his class, participate and have fun. He's not fond of slackers, but helps in any way he can. Take his classes!!!!
This class had ALOT of writing. If you are taking this class as a blowoff - don't do it! Mr Juchartz is a good instructor. I like that he takes personal/individual time with each student for each paper to let you know how you are doing and where you could improve. I would recommed him.
All you people who say he's arrogant, you're right. He is, but he has good reason to be. He doesn't pull punches; if you're slacking off, he knows. Put a little effort into the class, care about improving yourself, and you'll do wonderfully. The people that hate him and fail him are the people who take the class like it's a free credit.
Mr Juchartz turned me into a student who just wants to get by, to a student who actually cares. Never thought i would like english so much, but now i do. If you want to learn how to write, and want to challenge yourself, Please take him. If you dont like to come to class, and dont like to participate, TAKE SOMEONE ELSE.
Great prof! Easy and informational class!
Slackers need not apply! Great teacher, who doesn't tolerate slacking. Should it be any other way? Has a great sense of humor and is always willing to help you make yourself better. Highly recommended! There are no other teachers like Dr. J, he's definitely one of a kind!
Awesome teacher! Great personality easy to get a long. Assignments are not difficult and are given more than enough time to provide adiquate work.
Dr. Juchartz is a fabulous person, a wonderful teacher, and a great guy! He is very understanding, and he is down to earth. He was very good at explaining what needed to be done, and although you have a lot of work to do, he makes it easy to get it all together for your final portfolio. I'm looking into enrolling in his pop culture class!
Great Teacher Very Helpful and made class fun
Juchartz was the best teacher I have ever had. He actually TEACHES you, instead of throwing stuff in front of you. He show's you new skills for writing! He works well with students to make sure that you understand what he is looking for. He also makes himself available for the students that need extra help! I highly recommend him!
This is easily one of the best classes I have taken at Mott. Dr. J has a detailed and unique way of teaching. The main assignments are broken down to focus on individual parts of a paper (Thesis, Intro, etc). This process really helped me become a better writer and the assignments focus on finding your style. Theres no better English professor!
A lot of work but gives you examples of papers you need to write. Keep on top of your papers and submit papers for his review - ON TIME and you will be fine!
I took the class online for conveince, BIG MISTAKE. Dr. Juchartz gave me 1 out 5 points for my introduction the first week of class. Give me a chance to get broken in first. There were about 2-3 papers a week and you have to be on blackboard to post like 10 times a week and it has to be more than a a few sentences. No one has that much to say.
This was the first class I took when I went back to college after a 23 year hiatus. I took the class online because of my hectic life schedule. I am glad I was lucky enough to have Dr. J break me back in. Tons of writing and posting, but fun too. Oh ladies? Did I mention he's hot too?
This teacher is very difficult, he wrote the textbook, how intimidating is that? Your will learn something from him.
Excellent teacher. There's a lot of work (papers) but if you do all of the work on time and follow the directions it's pretty easy. He is very helpful and a wonderful teacher. He will teach you a lot! I would take one o his classes before any one elses.
One of the worst experiences of my college career. This guy is a terrible excuse for an instructor. I have a 3.3 gpa, I'm warning you. Larry is bad news!
Very positive experience, will take additional classes from him. His class is much more than just writing a standard paper. It is about thoughtful debate and communication in a confident and effective manner. Great Experience.
Gobble Gobble :)
One of the best ever! Very engaging! Didn't feel like a Comp2 class, more like debate. Grades fairly. Gives both sides of argument, wants you to argue your opinion. One of the most helpful classes I've ever had!
He is one of the most helpful and engaging teachers I've had. He has fun and interesting topics and allows you to ask as many questions as needed to get it. Lots of work, but I have managed to get a 100% before the portfolio, and I'm not even normally interested in writing! Just do your work and participate and you will do great!
Maybe he was having personal problems this semester, but he NEVER graded anything. You recieved NO feedback. If you emailed him a question about your writing you would get back a 2 lines about planning your paper better. I don't feel like I learned anything. Oh, and he only read 2 papers of the 13 I submitted for my portfolio. What's the point?!
He is horrible! He makes you feel like you are stupid and he is god. He makes it seem like his class is the only one you are taking and you have to do everything the instant he posts it. Do not take his class, worst teacher I ever had.
I just learned about this site halfway through my class. I'll admit some of the assignments are confusing but he WILL help you if you simply ask. If you follow directions and get things in on time you will do well. He does not HAND you a grade, you need to EARN it! Pay attention and he WILL teach you how to be a better writer!
One of the harder professors I have taken and I?m 90 credits in. He seems to enjoy grading tough just for the fun of it, I got 42 out of 50 on my class intro! Took this thinking I was taking a 100 level course; I did more work and writing than most my 300 level courses. He is helpful when asked, although a bit slow to respond to email.
I took ENGL-102 with Dr. J online. His directions on assignments were insanely clear. I thought this class was going to help us be better writers overall, not just arguers :o) You do need the book. Almost all feedback is from classmates(some who don't know what they're doing), not him.
Best English teacher I've ever had! He was extremely considerate. I was going to school full time and I had two jobs working over 40 hours a week and he understood completely. I got behind and he offered me an incomplete. I got an extra month to turn in my final project, he gave me an A on it and then gave me a 3.5 in the class. You must take him!
Wonderful teacher; grades fairly and explains well. Wants you to succeed.
Took this class online and spent more time trying to figure what I was supposed to do and when it was due than actually doing it. 12 pages of babbling BS instructions to write 3 paragraphs? Assignment due dates NEVER in the same place. Some assignments due once a week, some with only two days notice. VERY disorganized. Unless you want to spend all your time checking emails, blackboard and discussion boards, find a better instructor.
If you are interested in tons and tons of reading, take the class!
He is very nice and out going. We finish what we need to do for the day then he lets us leave. Sometimes it might take all of class sometimes only 40 minutes. He never makes us stay just to sit there. He grades fairly. Lots of one on one time.
Awesome teacher! He was the best English teacher I've ever had. He actually cares about his students.
VERY arrogant. His assignment and grading breakdowns are unnecessarily long-winded and confusing. He does not quickly grade or respond to emails, but is accusatory when you don't immediately respond. The class organization is confusing, and he randomly switches between BB and email. Likes to make assigns due 7-9PM Fri night, no sooner or later.
I was so worried because I don't like writing papers, but he was really awesome and very clear with you on what you needed to do to make your paper better. I love how he has personal meetings with each student after each paper to go over it with you. He's awesome, if you can get him, please do!
ENG 101 online I had taken 101 ten years ago and used this as a refresher. This time around it felt as if there was 10x the amount of work. He did grade fairly, and if you put in the extra effort, he will award more points than available. Promptly responded to questions, expectations were made crystal clear and he was very professional.
I have learned so much from Dr. Juchartz. Would highly recommend him.
STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS MAN!!! He makes you feel stupid for asking important questions. A very tough grader, half the time the grade asked numerous questions because his assignments weren't clear. Not a good teacher & he also canceled class a lot!!
Not enough characters to accurately rate Dr. Juchartz. I learned so much more than I expected. He was clear, quick to respond, and pushed me in areas I, arrogantly, thought I was already good in. You actually have to dig deep and use your brain. It was an honor to learn under his direction. His rating on here is grossly below reality.
By far the most intelligent professor I've ever had. He's very relaxed and progressive in his teaching. I've never enjoyed an English class as much as I did with him. You will be doing a lot of writing, but he is awesome and lets you branch out to use unique topics not just generic gun control, marijuana legalization, ect. TAKE HIS CLASS.
As an online class I thought Larry was a pretty good prof. If you ever need help he is there and willing to help you as much as you need it. The assignments were presented in a clear manner and he provided examples to look at so you could have a clear sense of what to do. I would take him again.
Dr. Juchartz is the best English teacher I've ever had. I love to write and he saw that and encouraged it in a way most professors do not. He is also a brilliant writer. He authored the textbook we used in the class. He was patient with everyone and gentle in his critique of some pretty terrible writing (LOL). He inspired me in my love of rhetoric!
Issues pages and pages of convoluted assignment instructions. Hides pertinent information in obscure places. Tries to trip you up. Comes across as arrogant and condescending. Inserts his political bias into every lecture and assignment. Differing opinions not welcomed.
His grading is all over the place. My posts and papers have been either around 85% or over 100%. I am beyond confused as to why some of my work is considered well above his standards for a perfect grade and others just above average. He seems to enjoy feedback and writing best when one brings in historical references.
Put in the work and you will pass. Provides great feed back!
He has very unclear criteria for grading. He seems like a nice fellow.
He does not put grades on blackboard.
I really enjoyed this professor. We had a lot of in-class discussions and debates that my whole class participated in. He kind of let us reign free with our papers, only giving his advice on corrections. Would take him again.
Great professor! Has individual conferences with each student a couple of times a semester to discuss your work and gives you a chance to make corrections for a better grade. Made me a lot more confident with my writing. I would without a doubt take another class of his.
Mr. Juchartz is an interesting guy. I was a little skeptical at first, because our first 2 papers were on controversial topics. In the end, I enjoyed most of the other writing assignments. He gives you plenty of time to revise and edit before the final drafts, so you don't stress too much. Overall, pretty laid back and cares about his students.
At first, the class will seem different from any other English comp class, but he makes it interesting. Controversial topics, makes you think. I definitely improved as a writer and persuader after taking this class. He is always willing to help and is easy to get ahold of via email. Would definitely take another one of his classes.
This was one of the most disorganized classes I've taken. Maybe it's because it was online but the syllabus has no set dates, directions are vague, papers are sent in for "revisions" until a final portfolio so you're unsure of where you stand. The textbook he cowrote is required but maybe 20 pages tops are needed from the book.
What an awesome professor! You end up growing as a writer. He pushes you to think outside the box and make you really think about what you have to say.
Took this course in a shortened 8 week period.
Avoid him at all cost. He lacks direction in what he is teaching and it will cost you your grade. Find someone else to take 101 and 102 with
I wish I would of known about this app before I signed up for his class. Would of defiantly changed teachers
I took eng. 101 because I need it. Not because I want to be an English major. Expects you to put a LOT of time into each week just for his class. If you have literally anything else going on in your life or if you dont like English to much I wouldnt recommend this class.
I dropped this class because I did not appreciate the condescending tone of the syllabus and the extreme focus on politics and current events. Intense workload. Vague grading criteria. Responsive but nitpicky. Based on my attempts at assignment #1 I am 100% certain this class will dominate your life. The list of banned topics and sources is lame.
For those who want better writing endured throughout college, this is the class for you. Its overwhelming at first but rewarding. Ask for help if you need it and read the syllabus. In-fact, read everything twice because part of writing is understanding instructions thoroughly. Be prepared and don't assume to get the work done day before due.
Incredibly condescending and can be a bit unclear. He has a portfolio that is due at the end of the semester but "does not have time to provide feedback." The final portfolio is the majority of the grade, and yet he did not take the time to give feedback whatsoever. He has an ego, and I had a lot of anxiety in asking for clarification.
His syllabus does not accurately outline the grading criteria and your Portfolio due at the end of the class, which he doesn't provide feedback on, is worth 60% of your grade and is just a reformat of work you have previously turned in, and your grade will be docked on formatting incorrectly. Also incredibly boring with an extreme focus on politics
SO MANY ESSAYS. This was a required course, but it was crazy difficult. I am not good with English. This man made us write an essay about other people's articles. It was hard. I passed, but I think it was because I turned my work in on time. I doubt any of my work is good. He was terrific to get in touch with, but it wasn't very clear.
Dr. J is very passionate about his teachings and cares about the class learning and succeeding. He was very thorough in his class assignments and lecture videos. Excellent instructor! I cannot say enough good things about him. I hope I am fortunate enough to have more instructors like him on my learning journey. Thank you, Dr. J! :)
