I really enjoyed Mr. Dimmick's class. He is an easy going guy but if he gets students who are immature, you will find that he does can lose that temperament real fast. He is always willing to help you whether it's after class or via email. I found that to be refreshing because most days teachers don't want to be bothered.

Dimmick made this class not boring. He is extremely flexible with the syllabus in contrast with other professors. While most professors will stick to his or her plan of action, Dimmick at one point dropped an entire section of the course because he felt we were not interested. Added a personal essay, and poetry, despite the regulations.

One caveat is that he requires you to write the essays in class, which limited my ability to produce work that fully demonstrated my writing and analytical skills, especially with the time constraint.
