had him for great books... he is pretty awesome and the class discussions are really interesting. Im not sure how he figures his grading btu I do know participation is huge! so show up and participate. Hes pretty great so you should definitly take him... but ONLY if you like reading- c'mon people its great books!

Dr. Amey is THE best professor I have ever had, despite getting a C in his class. I fully acknowledge I earned a C and nothing higher. He makes the books he teaches relevant to everyone, and encourages us to ask questions. And to go outside our comfort zone to learn about other cultures/faiths. Do your work = get an A.

Professor is tough, but fair. His expectations are clear. I found the course fun and informative, and would gladly take another course taught by him.

Professor Amey is THE BEST teacher I have ever had. He makes learning fun and interesting. My semester with him flew by so quickly. He is interested in each and every one of his students and does his best to help everyone. Just do the readings, participate, and get your assignments in on time and you'll pass.

If you want an easy A, then this class isn't for you. However, if you want to learn to write professionally then I would highly recommend this class. Also, this class is great for those who major in law. He teaches you how to argue both sides of a concept. I would honestly say that he takes you out of your comfort zone. His class was interesting.

He is an amazing but challenging professor who really knows his subject. His texts were all highly interesting. If you really want to learn something, take him. Don't take him if you're just okay with writing and you're looking for an easy A.

Second class with him. Not an easy A. His lectures are conversational but VERY interesting. Text book is used often when writing. He assigns a min of 3 essays per sems. (3-8 pgs) Very understanding with personal conflicts. Tough/picky grader. But, has reason because he knows his subjects/texts VERY well.

Amazing professor! Absolutely loved his class and the discussions. He won't give you a good grade on a paper where it's obvious that it only took you an hour to write it. But if you try and put effort into your writing, he will reward it. Would highly recommend him!

Let me begin with saying that Dr.Amey is great. He's fun, enthusiastic and passionate about what he is teaching. The class requires A LOT of work: tons of reading, three 5 page essays+cumulative final. He's a tough grader when it comes to essays, but gives 5 extra points for going to NOVA writing center. The class focuses on fantasy and philosophy.

Let me begin with saying that Dr. Amey is great. One of the greatest and the smartest individuals I have ever met in my life. Inspirational and a great friend.

First, I was really scared of him, but he is a really nice person. He is an excellent instructor. He always gives chances, always there for help. Beside he is a very respectful, he respects his students. also he is really funny. The course is about Harry Potter books, although I never read them, but I'm enjoying the class and his way of teaching.

This was not an easy A, and this was probably the hardest English class I have ever taken just because I'm not a fan of writing essays. However, he does provide lots of opportunities for extra credit, I HIGHLY recommend that you do all of them if you want a good grade. There are no tests, only three essays, a final presentation, and final essay.

Professor Amey is a good guy. Extremely polite and is there to help you when you need it. However, he is sort of a hard grader and you really have to work for your paper. Putting together a paper that was written in just a few hours won't fly. I still got a lot out of this class and would take him again.

The professor knows his material, but he's disorganized.

He's kind of a tough grader but gave us opportunities to redo most assignments for a better grade. You will learn a lot from him. Very interesting Lectures. Not an easyA but would totally take another class with him.

Professor Amey is a solid professor. He is very passionate about writing and although he is demanding (attendance and punctuality) he is willing to help students better understand the writing process. His class comes with a wealth of reading on political and social topics so prepare to be well-read (i.e. woke) at the conclusion of his course.

This prof should be teaching in Harvard or Yale. NOVA is lucky to have him. He teaches at whole another level. Take advantage of this opportunity and take him - you will learn SO much. He has unique background and he is truly passionate about literature and language. We had a lot to read, not so much to write. Group projects are fun. Take him.

Amazing professor. Thought provoking, meaningful assignments. Great feedback. Multiple opportunities to improve your grade. Made class interesting and really inclusive. Loved this class! If you fail, it is definitely your fault.

Prof. Amey is an amazing and passionate professor. He does not appreciate slackers, so don't be one. Quizzes are given at the beginning of the class as attendance so you MUST NOT BE LATE or else you will be marked absent and fail his class. The quizzes are very very short and straight from the readings. One 3-5 page essay and one 5-8 page essay.

PASSING AMEY'S ENG125 CLASS- TIPS You MUST not skip class or come in late . He gives short quizzes on the readings at the beginning of the class. Take notes in class. He allows students to open their notes during final exam-if u dont take notes, u will be screwed ! lol Be a LOVER of Analyzing Novels . It's Such an interesting class!

I loved Professor Amey's class-- he's not easy but he is exceptionally interesting! We talked about really deep issues such as religion, faith, and fantasy. He was clearly very passionate about the subject, so sometimes would get off topic about the lecture but it was still fascinating! Gives you a chance to re-write all papers for a higher grade.

He gives great lectures. you do have to read a lot but the in class discussions are actually fun. He is open minded and talks about a lot of stuffs. He also gives a second chance to rewrite your essays.

He he very nice and will take time to talk to you personally if you need it. Gives extra credit on the essay if you viste writing center and on the tests, and on the quizs, lets u redo ur essay and final is an open note , just read ur books and you will pass.

There are five essays and a presentation at the end of the semester. If you put in effort and show up you will do fine. He gives pop quizzes in the beginning of class when he assigns readings, so pay attention to the syllabus. He also allows you to resubmit your essays so you can get a higher grade.

Dr. Amey is an outstanding lecturer that makes you re-think how you analyze assigned readings/videos. Be prepared to NOT be given many reminders for assignment due dates. He will expect you to keep up with the syllabus. My biggest critique is that his lectures, while highly interesting, can get off track and not be relevant to the assignments.

Prof. Amey requires a lot of reading, but his lectures are interesting, and he tries to get you to think

I took ENG 125, but unlike the last student I didn't think it was that bad. There were lots of quizzes, but there was extra credit on each quiz. Also, you got extra credit for going to the writing center with your essay, and the final exam is open notes. Do the readings and essays and you should be fine.

I won't lie - this was a hard class. Mr. Amey was interesting, though, and I liked his choice of readings. I really liked "Kindred" and "The Babadook".

Definitely a hard class. There are five essays in the class. I did learn a lot, though, and the teacher gave lots of feedback and allowed us to rewrite our essays for higher grades. We also got extra credit for going to the writing center.

Great professor. He gives you feedback on your essays and will let you resubmit for a better grade. Assigns a lot of interesting readings and is passionate about the subject. Final exam is open notebook.

BEST PROFESSOR FOR ENGLISH!!, super super chill. You can truly see his passion for his lectures, his lectures are AMAZING (English is boring!) but he makes it very interesting. We had pop quizzes every other class, but they were super easy just as long as you read the books. I would def take him again if I had the opportunity

Professor Amey is a great professor. I took my ENG-112 with him and I really learned from him. His class is supper fun and interactive. He consider extra credits for each paper and give you chance to revise your essay. I really enjoyed his class and my writing improved dramatically.

His class is thought provoking and organized. He encourages you, but he does not coddle you. Initially, the subject matter may not always be something you agree with, but once you understand the purpose of the exercise it challenges your intellect and forces you to clearly articulate your perspective. The power to get an "A" is in your hands.

I was heartbroken that none of his other courses would cover what I needed to transfer. He keeps English super interesting. There's a reasonable amount of homework and a few papers. Reading is CRUCIAL. I got my books for free on youtube and I finished the novels weeks ahead. Lectures are just bouncing ideas off of each other, really enlightening.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Probably the only English class I would ever say was fun! In this class we got to the chance to be creative in our writing. Get to watch movies, and write about them. Doesn't push political beliefs, unlike a lot of English teachers at NVCC. Willing to help if you are willing to ask. He is also very understandable and caring.

Professor Amey is kind, caring, and just a really good guy. He is very understanding of his students' needs and lives outside of school, and I couldn't be more grateful to have taken part in his class.

He's a good professor, gives you an option to redo your work to get a higher grade. You do need to put in work on your papers. He isn't the toughest grader but he does give you what you deserve. He gives good feedback on what or where you need to improve. Id take him again.

I am shocked by the numbe of bad reviews. Please not that every class you must do your work to pass. Prof. Amey is the best and makes sure to provide the best feedback to you. He makes sure that we learn the material well. He is a great grader. Come to class, do the work, and pass. The work is not difficult. Please do not plagiar anything.

All in all, Professor Amey made me a better writer! I was scared to take him at first because most of his ratings here are horrible. But after taking his class, I can confidently say that he made me a better writer. Just put the work in, ask for his help (he's super nice and helpful!), and just do your very best in this class, you won't regret it.

I'm not sure why most of these ratings are very low, if you follow his grading criteria his essays and assignments are very easy. He allows extra credit if you go to tutor. com and allows you to re write your essay if you got less then an 85. Do your work, cite and don't plagiarize. Easy A.

I took this professor to "challenge" my writing, and it wasn't that bad! He was very kind and funny. He always gave thorough feedback and you had a week to turn in any assignment for full credit. He truly made me a better writer! Folks complaining about plagiarism must understand that citing sources is the bare minimum in college-level English.

I enjoyed having Prof Amey for Eng111. I always looked forward to going to class! He genuinely has a passion for teaching and is enthusiastic. The lectures were never boring. He honestly made me a better writer! Just put in the work and it can definitely be an easy a-b.

Prof. Amey is a very clear and great teacher! He is very passionate about his work and will help you with whatever!

Amey's lectures have been my favorite at NOVA. He's a cool guy who gives great feedback that has really improved my writing and he's very knowledgeable about pop culture and social issues. He tends to go off-topic but it's always interesting. I wouldn't recommend him if you want an easy A, but other comments exaggerate the level of difficulty.

It's an English class, lots of papers and purchase/reading of 2 books to write papers on. He always leaves feedback and follows up with everyone in class through half of the term to go over grades and how to improve. Final paper was very easy as he gives you the choice of picking what to write about. If you failed this class its due to laziness.

He's very easy going but he does expect the very best on every assignment

I personally don't think this class was hard. Professor Amey was great. Gives a lot of feedback on every assignment and also gives the opportunity to revise it to get a better grade. If you are good at citing source you will do fine. Just get the homework done on time.

He's strict but fair. his Zoom classes are repetitive. While not too hard, there's not enough homework to help practice what you've learn, you end up relying too much on essays. It'd be better if there were more homework to reinforce the lessons before writing essays, and beware of the grade weigh of research essays that's what kills grades.

He was great! He was very lenient with submission of the essays/assignments(except the final) he doesn't close them on canvas. I usually turned mine in a bit late. 4 essays total, last one being 6 pages which he talks about on the first day. He gave great feedback and chance for resubmission. He was very clear on what he wanted to see on the essay.

He is great at teaching and giving feedback. He is somewhat politically left-leaning, but he is respectful about it. He goes over what plagiarism is a million times throughout the semester. He is very friendly, so much that he takes 15-20 minutes just to take attendance by asking everyone how there weekend was.

I loved professor Amey, he was just amazing. If you failed any of his classes its on you. He is very understanding and fairly light on assignments. Funny and caring, his class was something I looked forward to even though I dont like English. I wish every professor were like him.

great teacher he likes to check in with his students. a lot of critical writing and he wants you be in as most detail as you can in the essays. he gives good feedback and wants you to improve as much as you can. attendance is very mandatory as more than 4 absences can give you an automatic failure in the class.

Prof Amey is the best instructor I've had at Nova. He cares about the wellbeing of his students and respects all. His grading is fair, and assignments are straightforward. He's very socially aware and compassionate. His lectures are truly inspiring, I look forward to his class. You can turn assignments in up to a week late for full credit.

Professor Amey is a great person, but not the best instructor. He is a very strict grader, and will mark you down for minimal things. It is very difficult to reach him outside of class. He is extremely critical of students writing, often to the point where it's counterproductive. I love his beliefs but will not take this class again!!!

Professor Amey is great! He is very understanding, patient, and treats all his students equally. He provides great feedback and makes sure you are prepared for the class. Every time he takes attendance he always asks each student how they are doing and how was there week! Professor Amey is amazing so I definity recommend!

Gave personalized, detailed feedback on every assignment so you were really able to learn. Nice guy who is interested in students doing well, but you gotta make an effort. Apparently tough on plagiarism and AI but honestly that should be any professor. Remember to edit your essay and write more than one draft and you'll be fine.

Prof. Amey can be strict but fair. His classes may feel repetitive, but he provides valuable feedback. For best results, stay engaged, use unstuck ai alongside the coursework, and don't rely too heavily on essays.

Great professor truly! He gives the most detailed feedback, reads your paper very accurately trying to understand everything that you're writing, may be a tough grader but that's for good only because he gives a chance to resubmit and grade improves immediately. For me it was easy to get A. TAKE HIS CLASSES!!!!

Very supportive, tries to help everyone. Just make sure you are ready for class discussions about the books that are required. He is very kind and funny, I have taken his classes 2 times and never regretted. Great professor. You can easily get A's on papers, just make sure you know what you are writing about :)

Don't believe what you read. As long as you don't commit plagiarism or use AI you'll pass the course. The course is work heavy so stay on top of the assignments but most are completion so just do them on time. He gives detailed feedback on essays and allows revisions. There are a few books and movies you'll have to watch as well.

I like Amey as a person, not a Professor. Do not take one of his classes if you are sensitive! All his classes are heavy on politics, social issues, racism, r@#&, slavery, ect. We were forced to watch the 13th documentary, dead bodies, graphic imagery. Classmates used AI to write papers, we had to hand write future essays in class by hand.

Professor Amey was very honest from the start. He is a tough grader, and you will most likely hear that from him. Honestly if you actually put in the effort, it is not a hard class at all. You do a diagnostic essay to see if you'd do well in his class, and that's great because if you do poorly you won't' have to waste money on that class.

Not that bad at all, He for sure does not like AI so don't bother using it. Use your brain! Personally, I didn't like his topics, but they weren't too bad. As long as you try & turn in your homework you will be fine. He is very lenient when it comes to turning work, tough grader but fair, will give great feedback if you turn in your work on time.
