He is great. Very helpful.

talks a lot but it is all to your benefit. before quizzes he goes over everything step by step to where it is almost impossible to fail. unless you miss class.

He is very, very boring.You don't have to pay any atention to pass the class. I have used the time to work on a piece of fiction I am writing, and am still passing with a B+.He does give alot of extra credit, but it is mostly boring, and useless.

Very helpful and you'll get at least B or A if you do what you suppose to do and put your effort to do your work. I thought I'm going to Fail but he help me to overcome the difficulty.

very nice

Very easy! All you have to do is write 3 essays and a research paper. Come to class and you'll ace the test. I take it this summer ~2004~ and got an A. Good Luck!!

very nice guy,seems to love what he teaches and takes the time to discuss the short stories,poems and plays in detail. I have learned a lot from him, he inspires me to read more literature and apreciate the wisdom of the great writers of the past and present.

Fairly easy class. Prof. Blanchard takes the time to support everything he teaches in class. He's very clear on what the quizes are on and what the essays consist of. Not too much writing either. He can get kind of boring if you're taking an hour-and-a-1/2 class like I did. I'd suggest the class.

This is the most passionate professor I have ever seen. He really cares about the subject matter and is not just teaching the class because MCC told him he has to (which is the way I feel about some other general ed teachers). Essays are tricky but the quizzes are a joke unless you sleep in class.

Great teacher. He appreciates those willing to work and learn which is hard to find in a required class like 1101. Excited about what he teaches. Likes Simon and Garfunkel and "The Boss"

Blanchard is a wonderful guy. He loves what he teaches, so that makes quite the difference. He is animated and jokes around a lot, which keeps you from falling asleep. If you do not come to class and do your job he will be hard on you, so pay attention!!!!! HE IS GREAT!!!!!

blanchard is a very good teacher.i loved taki his class.you read stories and take quizes after esach one.he tells you everything thats goin to be on them.he also gives you LOTTTs of xtra credit wich is good and u do about 3 essays all semester. vry easy if pay attention to what he says.GREAT Teacher

I HAD HIM IN ENC 1101, HE IS REALLY GREAT. HELPS YOU A LOT.

this professor is really cool! his class is really easy. just dont be late for his class or he takes points off. I enjoyed his class, and i had it at 8 in the morning!! he makes it interesting. Make sure you do the extra credit....they're sooo easy! thats how i made up all the tardies i had....

Pain in the ass with his grading scale...is too hard on stupid little things that dont matter, personally i would have rather taken someone a little easier

Blanchard is a good teacher, but don't go against his thoughts even if you're right. He thinks he's right ALL the time and doesn't like to be proven wrong. He seems like a lonely guy, but the course if easy. Plenty of extra credit.

Brilliant teacher. Very flamboyant and passionate about the subjects. He critiques essays better than any professor at MCC. I actually feel like I learned something from a gordon rule class!

I have never met anyone like Dr. Blanchard before he pay attention to every lil word on your paper and he make you feel so good when he make good comments about your work even when your paper was trash. I learned a lot from him. This guy is a true educator who only wants to reach in and pull out your ability to do well in English.

The class was not that bad but he was a little crazy! Tells jokes that are not really funny and then laughs at them (pretty amusing). Talks about things not even pertaining to the class a lot. Veyr orginized. Easy class.

Best teacher i ever had.

Dr Blanchard is a very intelligent and bright person. Although he spends WAY TOO MUCH time explaining the syllabus, grading system etc., he is a very good teacher and ready to help anyone;very understanding.Write papers on time and read the short biographies of authors before the tests, and you'll be fine. I loved his enthusiasm and organization.

Nice man but spends so much time talking about HIS take on politics. This is an English class. He claims that by talking about what ever he sees fit, that it falls under "critical thinking" and that in itself falls into English. Here's an idea; lets think critically about the stories that he has assigned us to read. I got really tires of hearing ab

Great teacher! Gives you every chance to make an A in his class. Although he holds you to the last minute talking about other stuff than English. He gives a lot of extra credit work that really helps your grade. Don't be alarmed by his grading scale becaus a 90-91% is a B in his class.

Very intelligent teacher! It's a shame not to know something when he is teaching. You have to write all the essays ad carefully read biographes of authors for the tests. Take good notes. Dr Blanchard gives a chance to anyone who wants to get a good grade. He talks a lot but you can learn from him interesting things.

This is not an easy class by any means. Take good notes and read all the material or you'll be in trouble with his tests. He is actually a nice guy ,try to remember that while watching out for the blue pen on all your writing assignments because he's very critical about anything that you could write.

Shows a lot of passion for the material he teaches. Grades a little hard, but is very helpful with ideas on helping you brainstorm for your essays. I enjoyed the class thoroughly.

If you love English and reading, RUN.Stands there and reads to the class every hour, all the hour. Must love sound of own voice. No one's opinion counts but his.Being read to out of the book is insulting...we can read!If this is what passes for teaching, it's small wonder people hate school. Dull with a capital D.

Awsome teacher, i loved his class. its super easy

MR. BLANCHARD IS THE BEST!!! I LOVED HIS CLASS AND I LEARNED A LOT!!!

Dr. Blanchard has truely been an inspiration in my life. I learned the proper technique in writing short stories, essays, etc. He also gives alot of extra credit so it would not be hard to pass the class.

Blanchard is a teacher who is very passionate but sometimes goes ovberboard with the i'm right you're wrong thing. If I had an opinion and backed it up he would still tell me I was wrong if it didn't match up with what he thought. Really my only complaint though. If you can side step that, then I suggest this class. Pretty funny as well.

nice guy! will ramble once in a while though.. generally easy class, just get creative on the essays!

great professor, he tends to make statements to get reactions but this makes you interested in his class! He will always meet with you to help you out on outlines for your essays and research paper. DO THIS! it will improve your grade!His quizzes are on the notes you take in class, so dont miss class.

understanding and lenient.

Great teacher! Highly recommend Dr. Blanchard for ENC. He grades tough on the writing assignments, but makes class fun and gives lots of extra credit to make grade higher.

Good teacher. Very organized. Gives all the information you need way before it is due. Talks a lot. Comments a lot on papers, but grades them easily. Tests must be studied a little. Don't take the other english teachers. Better to choose Blanchard. Your grades will thank you.

Blanchard rocks, he gives you all the tools you need to succeed. Gives PLENTY of extra credit. Sometimes he can get a bit off topic and just keep talking, but other than that hes a great teacher.

I definitely recommend taking him and you basically have to be an idiot or not pay attention at all to not pass. His quizzes are extremely easy and he gives tons extra credit. You do have to get a 92 to have an A and 84 to have a B and so on. I got a B on my first 2 essays and on my last essay I got an A because I went in to see him outside of clas

goes WAAAAAAYYYYYY off track ALOT but a nice guy..

Talks a lot, VERY opinionated (anti-Catholic), keeps you in the classroom till the last minute, crazy about attendance. Lots of homework, reading and extra credit, but fair in grading.

great teacher. classes are long, always there until the last minute. lots of reading and writing for homework, but overall not to bad

Blanchard is really easy, I never listen in class and I pass all his quizzes. SOOO much extra credit, goes way off topic ALL the time. and he laughs at his own jokes..but an easy A. Attendance matters!!

Great teacher! Highly recommend Dr. Blanchard for ENC.Some time he crack joke on which he only laugh. He grades tough on the writing assignments, but makes class fun and gives lots of extra credit to make grade higher.

This proffesor trys to help his students. Although, when it comes down to really helping and understanding where a student is coming from, he falls short. I have to say though, he does make class interesting (in a good way).

Professor Blanchard is an excellent teacher. He is very clear on what you need to do as a student to pass his course. He gets off topic sometimes, but he always review for each quiz. He gives you plenty of opportunities for extra credit. Attendance is a must in his class. I would recommend him to anyone!!

Talks ALOT. He goes over everything in class very very well. He will give you all of the assignments ahead of time. Grades the essays very tough. Gives lots of extra credit work! all in all good teacher

Enjoyed this class professor was kwolegable helful and make class very interesting. Knows his stuff I would take him again excellent teacher.

VERY TOUGH GRADING! Tests are very hard but straight from the txt book, but need to memorize EVERYTHING. I felt like such a failure after I would get my essays back. (even when i thought they were decent) He has a weird grading scale also, very disheartening. He is somewhat funny, goes off topic a lot and rarely lets out early. FINAL is optional.

I think he is great! He loves his subject and he teaches well.I would defenitelly take him again!

Good Class, good teacher. The best advice I have is when writing your essays, follow VERY CAREFULLY to what the handout he gives you says. That is what he is looking for and if you follow it closely your grade will show it even if you made other grammatical, etc mistakes.

Dr. Blanchard is a GREAT professor. He holds you the entire class period, but if you actually listen to what he says in his lecture, he touches on everything that's on the tests. He is a very knowledgable person and teaches a lot more than what is part of the class. He really opens up your mind.

I had him for ENC 1101. This class was a mandatory requirement for my AA. It was fairly easy and kind of boring. He's a nice teacher and likes to tell stories. Also the papers we wrote were all based on the same topic throughout the semester.

I would say Blanchard was overall a really nice guy and a pretty good teacher. He did express his own opinions alot, which I mostly agreed with, although I dont know if its really proper. The class is medium difficulty, if you just do all the work you should be okay. He will help you if you ask.

great professor took him for 1101 plan on taking him for 1102. Papers are easy he just has alot of imput to add, if you turn in the work you should get a good grade. He excepts late work just takes points off. Funny,intelligent, very helpful all you have to do is email,but he doesnt believe in angel

Overall great teach. Deff has his own opinions, butis fair.Makes sure everyone is prepared before setting up quizes. Papers arnt too hard, makes a lot of input. You would have to try to fail his class

Dr.Blanchard is an AMAZING techer! yes he has his own opinions, but he makes so interesting. Attendance is mandatory, but fair. The class is basically quzies and critical essays (both easy) if you study and try. I highly suggest you take him, you will love it!

Blanchard is very boring and long winded. Really beats the horse to death when discussing literature and constantly gets off track while lecturing. He has a very odd and often times out of place sense of humor which is often times more awkward than funny. Very nice and very easy though.

I admire this professor. All of the essays were very clear in their scope. He is very organized. I know I will never have another professor that actually treats you like a student. He treats your papers like they are the only papers graded. He writes back great suggestions and writes in conversational tone. I recommend him 100%!

He grades essays hard, own opinions, and can be boring. Unlike many teachers, he cares about the context on your essay. Other than that, he was a great teacher. He made sure you understood the text! He is also very random. We had 5 quizzes, 3 essays, 1 research paper, and a ton of extra credit.

Definitely not eye candy but this guy is awesome. He is excellent with literature and writing, AND he is great at teaching. He gives students a lot of respect. He will literally write an essay back to you concerning his comments on your essay, he puts effort and care into his grading. Wants you to do well. Grades fairly. Very approachable.

He is the best...........

Dr.B is a great teacher! I really enjoyed the 7 weeks of class. He explains everything very well and in detail. Very specific on how he wants the papers written. I wouldnt say its an "Easy A" but show up and do all your work and you will get an A.. He is awesome

VERY boring lectures. Longest hour of my life, and he goes over the same material several times to drill it in your head. Tough grader on essays. Uses textbook a lot. Nice guy, just a very mundane and boring class.

Very boring lectures BUT everything he talks about WILL be on the exams. Overall an easy grader and can be funny. The book gets used a lot so you need to buy it. He likes a lot of details on the essays but don't ramble!! Take his class, it's an easy ENC course.

His lectures get really boring if you go to class every day because he repeats everything he says a lot. But he grades fairly on essays and will give you a lot of feedback. He made himself very available if you needed extra help with your essays. But if you ever need a teacher recommendation you should go to him because he wrote me a very nice one.

this professor is very helpful when you speak with him one on one and he will help you with your essays.. His quizzes were fairly easy and all from taking class notes and listening and reading stories.

Absolutely love this teacher! Some people don't like his rants, but it's entertaining. Tests were pretty easy since he tells you exactly what to study. His door is always open for help. Doesn't use technology very much either, which is pretty refreshing.

Dr. Blanchard is extremely passionate about literature and it shows. He does expect you to come to class but if you do and pay attetion to what he is saying, and write down everything he writes on the board, he will literally give you all the answers to his tests. His grading is harsh on your written works but if you ask for help he is very helpful

Did not enjoy this class. Although Blanchard says he's open to hear your own interpretation, if you don't write exactly what he thinks, he will mark you off for it. This leaves little room for creativity, and no take away from the course. Yes, it's an easy class. But a very partial professor that makes the course very redundant and boring.

I really liked Dr. Blanchard. I think the last comment about him was in fact partial in its self. Dr. Blanchard liked me and I would often go to his office hours and because of that my usual C average on essay before this class easily host up to 89's. I have corrected him in class on things and he was in fact open, but you must spark the discussion

Dr. B. is a very fun teacher. Very cultured and full of stories, he's also a very good poet, published in fact. Enjoyed his class immensely, he never expects more than what you are capable of and is very willing to help if you struggle. Highly recommend!!

Prof. Blanchard is straight forward, he tells you exactly what to study for the tests and is clear when explaining what he expects in your essays and research paper. He covers a play, short stories, and poems. He gives you a great amount of feedback on your returned essays so you know what you missed. I would highly recommend, but you cant be lazy.

Dr. B is a character. He loves to rant, he doesn't like answering questions especially when they are off topic and does not like phones. His lectures can be "out there" but they can also be funny, he does laugh too. His essay guidelines can be hard to understand as well so always make sure to see him if you have questions. Show up to class!

Pros: Provides ton of extra credit. Will always work with you. Always able to help after class. Nice. Cons: Goes off topic every class. Lets you out late everyday.(at least my class). He repeats himself a lot. Goes over simple directions that would take 5 mins he makes it 20. Overall he is an okay teacher. I'm not going to take him again.

Great teacher with tons of life experience. Gives many second chances with extra credit assignments. Warning ; drug use and SExual content are spoke of

Prof: B. is very well educated and is the best poet I know. The life ventures he shared with me will always inspire my creative mind. This guy is cool!

Blanchard is an awesome teacher! He tells you exactly what you need to do and know for every paper and quiz. He is very helpful when you see him outside of class and will tell you exactly what you need to know in order to improve your grade. Offers plenty of extra credit. Not too much homework throughout the week. Attendance is important.

Best teacher at SCF. He's so clear when he teaches, he's always available if you need help writing any of your essays. I recommend him. Period.
