I like Dr. Letourneau. His classes are hard, and he is VERY hard to understand, but he is so knowledgable in his field and will go out of his way to help you understand the material if you ask him. He will adapt his program to fit the needs of students.

A really intelligent instructor - almost too smart. At times he was unable to clearly explain the subject matter, but he was always willing to help. Even though there are a lot of assignments they aren't busy work. Everything's set up for your success.

I was surprised how much I liked Dr Letorneau's class. It was fascinating and I he explained very tough material very well. He has a dry sense of humor that is quite funny if you catch it. He is kind and sympathetic. Great guy

Very good professor - knows his stuff, but you'll need to work for an A.

Very good professor - the most helpful ever! Knowledgable, but you'll need to work hard to get an A - it is possible though.

The toughest class you'll ever love. There is no other excuse, he is a grammatical sadist. Brilliant and mysterious. He looks strangely Jewish, but I'm pretty sure he was Mormon. Not that that matters, but really, it's always in the back of your mind. I really didn't do that well in his class, but maybe that's because my mind was elsewhere?

Good class. Very focused on writing good arguments. He is intelligent and very logical, and he expects the same from students. You will learn to write/analyze good argumentative papers in this class. I also like how he didn't talk politics or push his own opinions, even though you discuss controversial subjects in class. He can be boring, though.

this professor is perhapes the most intellegent in the English dept. He is very helpful if the student is willing to work and learn. Some say he is hard, but I think that his difficulty level is necessary in order to be able to learn on agenuine manner.

do you want to really learn the principles of grammar and English? If you do then this guy is the best to do so at wsu. He is kind and helpful if you are willing to learn! So, those who say,"he is hard" I say to them, "you make it hard"

I loved LeTourneau! Yep, the class was hard & I didn't get a great grade but that was my fault. He is genuinely a great guy and VERY willing to help. I love that we talked about politics in class but he never tried to push his own ideas on us. It was more of learning to present an argument than a general english class like I thought but it was fine

I don?t know if it?s Letourneau or the subject matter that makes linguistics so difficult. However, he?s a really nice guy, and he?ll do what he can to help you. Take good notes as he WILL go over stuff that is not in the text, and keep in mind that some notes are allowed during the tests. Despite it all, it was an incredibly interesting class!

His bark is worse than his bite. He talks with a very impressive vocabulary and the way he explains things is tough to understand. BUT if you ask for clarification he will gladly break it down into easier terms. The writing assignments he has you do set you up for your papers brilliantly. He is a great teacher and the class is valuable

Dr. LeTourneau is a very excellent teacher. If you want to write or become better at writing, you will love his class. I can understand why people think he is hard, but it is just because he is trying to teach you to write right. Everything that he had us do throughout the semester prepared us for every paper. This class can be easy if you keep up.

you will learn alot in this class. I was readdy to quit his class after my first paper was returned but he tells you how to fix it so it really isnt that hard. he and the subject are both boring. All you have to do is write 3 papers then turn in 2 of them as your final, he tells wich papers he thinks are worthy of being handed in. Good teacher

Dr. LeTourneau was always very willing to answer questions and be understanding. Attendance is mandatory, or you will fall behind!There is a LOT of work, including many assignments due between classes. He is fair in grading.

He's very nice and is eager to help you, but his teaching method is EXTREMELY hard!!! I would recommend asking a lot of questions otherwise you will be totally lost with him.

Dr. Letourneau is brilliant and adorable. He's good at what he does, and tries to help those that need it. That being said, expect a challenge in his class. If you work hard, you'll be rewarded. This is college, it's the way it should be.

Dr. Letourneau is very intelligent and he knows his material, however, he has a difficult time teaching the student. He is very vague in what he wants for his assignments. If you stay on top of your reading the in class material, though difficult, is able to be followed. his assignments however, are where the issues arise.

Fairly unclear most of the time, fuzzy directions, little focus and attention to organization. Course was pretty messy and disorganized, not good for a course on comp.

Very difficult class. I spent literally dozens of hours working on the three papers that were required to be written, consistently used tutors, and met with Dr. LeTourneau during his office hours for guidance on how to be successful in his class. I had strived to get an A in the class to maintain my 4.0 GPA, but ended up with a B+.

I loved this class. Probably one of the hardest classes I ever took, but I learned so much. Highly recommend.

Linguistics Class. Required a lot. Not clear on assignments. Difficulty explaining some concepts. Expected you to know more than he taught when it came to tests. Was willing to meet with me when needed. I am a hard working straight A student with a degree but would not take a class from him again.

I took Dr. LeTourneau for a Linguistics in Languages in World Literature course taught alongside Dr. Subbiah. The class is brand new so the syllabus was optional; however, Dr. LeTourneau was more than helpful in meeting with me to figure out my final paper and went the extra mile to look at my final before it was due in order for me to have an A.

Dr. LeTourneau was a very good teacher. He offered very good advice and helps you improve your writing as the semester goes on. If you do the work you will get credit, however, that said there is a lot of writing and reading. The reading can be confusing at times but it is discussed in depth in class. I would take a class from him again.

ENGL 3050 Grammar. Homework, then more detailed homework, then 3 exams and 2 analysis of a text. It's a lot of homework, but it's also a difficult subject, so you really do need it to learn the subject. Class is about clauses, phrases, sentence structure, and a lot more. Make sure you know your nouns, verbs, adj, adv, preps, pronouns, it will help.

This was one of my favorite classes. At first I was worried because Mark is kind of monotone and has an interesting sense of humor. But he is incredibly intelligent and does a great job at teaching. Everyone in my class ended up loving him. It's a writing class, so papers galore, but if you participate and pay attention, you will be ready to write.

Dr. Letourneau is a very intelligent man. He knows what he is talking about, and this is to our advantage because he gives precise, quality feedback on every paper you write. Dr. Letourneau LITERALLY tells you what you need to do in the comments he leaves on your papers to pass the class. If you want to improve your writing skills, take his class.

Dr. LeTourneau is a very thorough when grading essays. While we had three essays that were due in class (7 week accelerated class) we discussed many writings that supported the formats we were utilizing in our assignments. He was helpful in explaining when we asked questions. You need to go to class and if you participate, this class is a good GE.

Teacher is dope. You have to care about what you're doing, if you show that you are trying then he will grade accordingly. It's not high school, it's college. You can't B.S. the papers, you have to put in the work. I consistently was doing things last minute and still received a good grade, I think because I was honest in my work and effort.

Dr. LeTourneau knows his stuff. He is very knowledgeable, and if you attend his classes, you should be able to do well. His feedback literally tells you exactly what you need to do or fix, and he examines the same issues in practice exercises, homework assignments, and exams. His classes require effort, but if you put the time in, you'll be fine.

At first, I found Dr. LeTourneau's lectures to be much of the same from my 1010 class, and was bored with his lectures. But as the semester progressed, I found him to be very insightful. He's a tough grader, but my ability to write good papers has increased astronomically. Overall, if you want to learn a lot, take this class.

The semester in which I had his class was extremely difficult for me. I had some personal things going on. Getting assignments in on time was a real struggle. This professor always gave great feedback and was always quick to respond to messages over Canvas. I'm pretty sure his personal help was the only reason I was able to pass all my classes.

This class was definitely one of the hardest ones! Get ready for multiple assignments every week. Yes, it can be overwhelming, but I assure you, you WILL learn A LOT. His feedback is detailed, and if you need clarification, he will elaborate on his comments. I am not too focused on what grade I received; it is about how much we learned.

He is actually really nice and wants to help students learn. I'm not good at English and my class was online so I was confused a lot because there are a lot of lectures and homework, but I met with him outside of class time and he is really helpful and wants to make sure we understand. Stay on top of things and do your best. You'll be okay.
