I really like this class!! Professor Boyer is really nice and understanding. His lectures could be a little boring at times but other than that the class is easy. We had 2 big essays, a couple of quizzes and an in-class essay for the final. As long as you apply yourself you can easily get an A.

Prof Boyer is an amazing teacher, so funny and helps English be engaging and informative. He prefers quality over quantity and has you write about 3 papers in the semester and gives you opportunities to make them better for a better grade. He gives easy quizzes that you'll pass if you actually did the assigned reading.

Prof. Boyer lectures a lot on developing your essay skills in class, as you'll use them in 3 essays. He's the BEST professor to ask for advice and feedback in your essays. He gives out a couple of quizzes, which involves vocab, readings, and lectures taught in class. He cancels classes and if you're lucky, he can also cancel the midterm. Easy A!
