SOO easy! I went to this class maybe 4 times in the first semester and as long as you go to the classes right before the major tests you'll pass I passed with an A and I barely ever went. He is cool and teachs good, and you get to listen to music a lot
Very easy, my most mellow class. Optional attendence, no homework. Grade based off two tests. You get to learn a lot about music and art. He is a pretty cool guy.
Very easy class, optional attendance, practice essays written in class, lets you go as soon as your finished, and has only two grades one midterm and one final. Just make sure you have clear writting he loves that!!!
He's one of the best teachers.He's a very inteligant professor.He has Ph.d from Standford and also speaks italian and french.Not only I've learned so much in his class, I've also enjoyed having a conversations with him and learned alot.
He is the best teacher you will EVER have in college.
He is very chill. You never have homework and you actually get to learn a lot about art and music. This class makes you want to go to Europe and see all of the things he teaches about. Very good teacher.
hes a very very easy teacher.. theres a midterm and final.. they are essay form..hes a really easy grader.. learned a lot .. hes a cool guy
Easy-going, great personality, fun class, and very smart man!

What a great time, take this class you will enjoy it!!
He is a really nice and knowledgeable teacher.He is very flexible for essay due dates.Take him if you want a wonderful experience for an English class!
Keeps class interesting.
He has got to be the coolest teacher in Saddleback! I love his personality and his classes are very informative. His lectures may seem long and boring but he somtimes cracks jokes and he is a really nice guy. TAKE HIM, there is no other option! Seriously.
At first I wondered why i was taking this class but after the first week i realized that he is the coolest teacher ever. very easy only 2 tests if u just talk to him u can get an A
He by far should be recieving teacher of the year. He is 110% involved with students and is always helping one when it comes to comments and questions. I really enjoyed his class and I wish it wouldn't have came to an end.
super easy midterm and final essay just focus on one topic find some examples and will do fine. no attendane taken, hardly showed up and got an A
he is a funny guy. he know about everything!!!(history, scientists, cities, cultures...) very easy going. he graduated from Stanford univesity. he is a genius!!!
Very easy class. Warning! Almost always comes in 15 minutes late for morning classes. Requires the least amount of work possible. Does not take attendance.:)
Super super super easy..attendance is does not matter... no final or midterm maybe 4-5 papers at least a page long and youll get an A very funny guy
he was a very funny and easy teacher! i liked him a lot and highly recommend him. even though he goes pretty easy on this students, he does not lack as a teacher. he's very intelligent and makes witty jokes. lectures were very enjoyable =)
very funny teacher!!and easy class!!
Best prof i've ever had! i learn a lot but he's not overbearing. he's super layed back and funny. very intelligent tho, so dont be fooled! totally fun class so take him!
He is a great teacher, really fun and easy. easy meaning clear and cut to the chase teaching style. and not easy in a way that you are not learning, you will learn and no guilt. you do 8 paragraphs and turn in 4 in the semster. must be 1 to 2 pages
In a semester you write 2 papers, 5-10 pages and that’s it. Nobody even goes to class. Know the MLA format because he expects it to be done in the papers, but doesn’t teach it. This is not a good class if you actually need to learn, but is goo
he has no tests, doesn't do attendance, he only has 1 final paper and he's funny and educated. i would recommend taking him for any class he teaches. it's an easy A
Funny teacher. Doesn't take attendance. Had 1 final, thats it! Barely went to class, got an A...but do well on the paper!
Very Easy
I want to marry him. He is beautiful. Be sure to take his class so you can stare at him. Very nice man.
SERIOUSLY ONE OF THE EASIEST AND MOST KNOWLEDGABLE TEACHERS. VERY HELPFUL AND KNOWS A LOT ABOUT HIS TOPIC. ALSO DOESNT KEEP ATTENDANCE.
VERY AWESOME TEACHER!! He is super easy, and a great teacher at the same time!! You should definitely take him for english!! Teachers like him are very hard to find. I recommend him ALL THE WAY!!
two tests, no attenance records, he is such an easu grader!
he's funny. very easy. no tests. only 1 paper to write. whatever you get on it will be your grade.
Very nice guy and lectures for only an hour. Really boring class though and not that many people go.
I dont know about the hot rating, but he is great teacher with lots of knowledge! hella funny guy and always keeps class short!
the hardest part is to get in. After that I say hahahahahahah.
honestly this class is a joke its what makes people cringe anytime they ehar community college. I mean sure I got an A but if you really want to learn something dont take this class.
Just take this class, you wont be sorry. Trust me.
This teacher has totally changed! This teacher is extreme. He used to be super easy and super layed back, but not he is super hard and super strict. I think he had a meltdown over the summer!
This Teacher must have got alot of flak for being easy because he is now very strict in his grading.There was only one paper and if you blow that there goes your entire grade for the class.Word of advise,make it to all his lectures if you want a fair grad
Easiest class you'll ever take. The ONLY assignment is a 5 page paper that took a few hours to write. Dont even have to come to class to do well on the paper. Knows his stuff but you dont learn much from the class. Very layed back and cool teacher
I took this teacher 2 yrs ago for eng 200, he was so easy. I signed up for eng 1b he was horrible. You have to write 15 pages before you can go in a blue book, however they are not graded. Only grades on mid tern & final.
He totally changed. Went from being the nicest to the meanest.
This teacher SUCKS. He grades his whole class on one final take home paper. He doesn;t give you any details on what the paper should be about. Doesn't give a rats about the students or their grade. DON'T TAKE THIS TEACHER
Channing is so full of himself now because he is the head of the English department. He is a complete jerk for the whole class and doesn't teach anything, he just tells us to write and he just leaves the classroom.
easy and um he has always been head of english/humanities lol thats not new news
HE DOES CARE! IF U ASK HIM WHAT NEEDS TO BE ON THE PAPER HE'LL OUTLINE IT FOR U
he doesn't do anything, if u want to pass the class w/ an "A", WITHOUT doing anything, take him, if u want to learn take Walker!!! his Humanities class is a piece of cake
he is the best and i realy think he is the best that saddleback can offer
he is one of the worst professors ever
WOW...STAY AWAY...
Class is great, all you do is talk about art. Only one graded assignment and it's a paper as the final, if you show up every day and take the notes the notes it is no problem!
This teacher has no business teaching... sure, I received an A, however I learned NOTHING. It is a complete waste of time. He stares at the girls and flirts with them, he takes phone calls on his cell throughout the class, never showers or changes clothes
hard? really that poster must be kidding he is the easiet teacher ever. I mean no joke if you are smart enough to tie your shoe and not****yourself in class you can ace this. The course is a joke easiest A ever
Channing is awesome. The class has one final that is take home and due 2 weeks before class. He tells the class that you dont even need to be in class on the first day. He is hilarious because hes kinda off onhis own planet. Talk to him if you see him around campus.
hez really hard....hez not the same old easy channing anymore.....u have to write alot of essay...everyday u have to write about diff stuff...dont take him
Very hard not the same teacher as before, I took for a different eng and he HAS Changed! DON'T TAKE HIM!
you guys are idiots if you think channing is hard.
Channing is a G, he is the most laid back teacher, although if your looking to be a journalist or something, take it somewhere else, because he is very leniant
channing is the BEST teacher i had in my entire life. he is GREAT.
Channing is cool. only 2 in class essays. don't worry im bad at writing too, but i just went to class and took notes and got an A on the essay. Not that bad to be scared during first few weeks. he tries to scare people away. take him hes chill
he is a totally $%^@ now so watch out your going to have to deal with his inflated ego ever since he became head of the phil. and eng. department
I learned a great deal from taking Channing's Hum 1 class. If you like lectures and taking notes with a witty remark installed every other sentence, then take him. IF YOU DO NOT LIKE LECTURES, and NOTE TAKING, with an ESSAY for a midterm and final, then do not take him, it's that simple.
Channing is way cool. He doesn't take attendance and tells you what is going to be on the Midterm and Final. He knows knows a lot of information. Very easy going...cool teacher. Take him, you'll like him.
This class is so easy i cant even explain it to you..just sign up and you will understand
Oooops! Not easy channing for 1B, he changed his type of teaching. Easy to Mean teacher for 1B.
he has changed...lots of essayyy....LOTSSSSS!!! HE GRADES GRAMMER...EVERYTHING!!!
Channing is soooooo easy... This is what you do to get an "A". You go to the first class, then go to the class before the midterm/final and get the topic of the essay and study it for 10 mins and then write and get an "A". You don't even have to go to class!!! Tanke him...it's every student's dream!
All I can say is Godlike!
too easy! my lord i was bored. this guy is the head of the eng. department and he barely goes to class. easy A, but happy it's over with.
Hes really weird and out of it. He doesnt show up the week of the finals and exams. But all in all, i did like him in the end. He was a nice out going guy. Hes not clear and very avoidant. His syllabus was like 2 sentences. Hes a joke but take him.
Prof. Channing is a BLAST! I loved his class. there is no homework, reading is a must and taking notes in lecture. 1 essay mid-term and 1 essay final. you can't go wrong taking this class!!! not to mention learning, his sense of humor is great!!!!
ehh..hes very weird.. i didnt like him
No Comments
This class is horrible, there is just one final but some reading. He is very rude and mean. He puts down students all the time, even if they ask for help. I would NEVER take him for any other class again!
He is the worst teacher ever. He doesn't care about the students at all. His class is easy because it is so stupid... If you want to learn even just a little bit take it with another teacher.
Yep, had him for 2 classes. He's sloppy, and very lazy. But that makes him easy. Just pay attention in class and do some of the reading and you'll be ok. He can talk for hours and easily goes on tangents. He cancelled the final cuz he was 2 lazy to grade it. Very smart, but very lazy.
this guy is a joke and so are his classes I showed up twice, once to find out what the final was and the second to take the final and I still got an A. anyone can do it...seriously a big joke
pretty easy like what the other person said, makes himself seem tough, just make sure you know dates and names for the essay and u'll be fine
AWSOME teacher, the most interesting class ever, too bad the other professor (CHattopadhaya) wouldnt let the man talk AT ALL... He is very interesting though, wonderful sense of humor and very smart... You'll wanna go to class just to hear what he'll have to say. He may be a bit preoccupied, but hes the Head of the English Department...
I have had Channing for several classes. His style is really laid back: often very late to class. If you can keep his cell phone from ringing in class you may get his attention. Anyway, he is very intelligent, and funny. He lets you pick what's on the final. Just ask him questions so he continues to stay focused and you will learn lots.
I went to the first day and i went for the final and got an A+. He doesnt take attendance nor gives out homework. Some semester's he'll give a midterm but not mine. For the papers just find out from someone who actually goes what the question for the test is then you can have a 5x7 card to write on. He's funny on top of it all
HE IS THE BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD!! HE IS WITTY AND BRILLIANT. HE IS NOT LAZY AND VERY WILLING TO HELP YOU IF YOU ASK. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR THEN DON'T TAKE HIS CLASS, YOU WILL PROBABLY BE INSULTED.
Yo. tha teacher is maddd koo, but tha catt is always late errrday i have him, i mean jus let yo students kno, u not gunna****or sumtn.....mann.
so funny. you have to be able to read and teach yourself a little bit...but if you're an independent learner it shouldnt be hard. take him. he's awsome.
Mr.Channing is a really cool teacher, but he is or sometimes can be really weird. His class isn't too hard as long as you come to every class and pay attention.
I had him for several classes (eng 200, eng 1A and hum 1) and I actually wanted to go to school just to be in his class and see what he has to say. He is funny, and if you pay attention in the class ur fine. The essays are pretty easy too.
BEST teacher in the whole world!!!!!!!!!!!!! i wish he taught more subjects (like history)!!!!!!!!!!! hes the coolest teacher @ saddleback. he's awesome.
Way easy teacher and funny. Take him for humanities and you'll pass without a doubt.
Very easy. Never a test or homework, just 1 paper due at the end of the class. Take notes during class and you can write your paper with ease. Piece of cake. He's funny too.
he is the best teacher that you can ever have.very cool person.
My Channing is so rad- he is super good about not wasting your time and he is super inspiring- i have learned so much and the class is so relaxed-
This guy just likes to hear himself talk. He is a pathetic, bitter, old and lonely man. Rude and very liberal. Likes to inturupt and make you feel stupid for having an opinion. The class is easy, but you will be bored while you are there.
Channing is a chill guy. Also, his class is fun and easy. Just as long as you turn in your essays that are on fun topics, you will get a good grade in the class. I would highly recommend him to any one, for either ENG 1A or 1B, or both!!!
Easiest class at Saddleback
RE:TO THE GUY BELOW..What r you talking about you wierdo!you must be extremely insecure&miserable.Channing is theGreatest, nicest,kindest teacher that Ihave ever had.Ive taken 2 of his classes and its obvious that he cares about his students&knows his subjects wellYou r obviously a really creepy person that has horrible&inaccurate judgement skills
VERYYYYY easy! only a paper due for the final, thats it, no tests, no homework nothing! He lectures everyday or you watch a movie. He does not take attendance or anyhthing, so you can get the lecture notes from someone in class if you miss. The paper is on 4 topics that he gives in the beginning and its on 70% lecture notes 30% book-EASY!
Channing is an awesome teacher ! He is extremely bright and knows what he wants from his students. Hes been teaching at saddleback for many years and is one of the greatest professors I have ever had. Highly recommended
Boring class, no point in showing up because he doesnt take attendance. Whole grade based upon one final paper. Lectures are scattered since he shows up with no materials. Movies about artists, etc. shown. Shows up late, lets class out 1/2 hour early. Work hard on paper, dont wait til last minute and you'll get an A like me.
I can't complain much I recieved good grades in each class. Just show up to class when you can do the work and sit back and watch him. He may freak out now and then but it's all talk... he is a nice guy when you talk to him out of class...his clothing is a little dated but it adds to his charachter and shows you how much he likes to read.
so there is only one paper thats due at the end of the semester. doesnt take attendance or even cares if ur there. yet the paper is based on notes u took in class. i went just once a week and had a friend in class where we traded notes. i would insist on that. easy A though TAKE HIM
need 3 units? take Mr Channing hes the BEST!!!!
This guy doesn't take attendance and our entire grade was based on one paper that I wrote when I was half asleep and I got an A. The classes don't run smoothly because he expects the class to run mainly on participation and when only 15 of the 35 students usually show up to class and no one answers his questions he just sits and waits. It's boring.

i took english 1b and humanities with him and he is so cool! we got to watch orange county the movie and he is sooo chill!!!
Channing is chill no HW only videos and lecture always get to leave early two tests thats it...You'd be a fool not to take him for humanities or english
Irritated that he only taught class for no more than 30 min. Grade based on 2 tests, so show up to class because the material is only from the lectures. Easy class, it would have been nice to have more points available for opportunities to not show up. No attendance taken, so he really has no idea who is who.
He teaches very clearly what he expect to his students. If you follows what his directions to writing you will be fine. I did not miss any class and helped me to improve my writing! He is so generous and helpful! Thanks Dr. Channing!
easiest class of my life!!!!!!!! just take notes or borrow notes...ur only in class for a half hour to fourty five minutes. he doesnt take attendance, he doesnt give hw...1 midterm 1 final 25 q's each... piece of cake...easy A++++
i LOVED, LOVED, LOVED him and this class! hes so laid back, his class is fun if you decide to go, he only lectures for like 20 mins, and hes super funny and hes really intelligent you can talk to him about anything he is brilliant!
EASY true, but you do need to attend class enough times to get the info you need for the test because he does'nt even use the text. Go, listen, A.
Easiest teacher ever! Definitely recommend him!
Channing is by far one of the best professors! Not because his class is a piece of cake, but you can tell just how intelligent he is! He is very understanding and helpful. Just talk and joke around with him, he'll love you!
He is the best teacher .. and he is alos fuuny .. Mr.Chinngin you rock..
Took his summer class it was super easy! Only have to write 2 essays, which are the midterm and the final. He's really nice and funny and very easygoing. Best teacher and class at Saddleback!
he is hilarious and he lets you leave early everyday, there are a few essays with topics like "legalization of marijuana". Enough said... Highly recommend him
Awesome. Tells u exactly what to do and write and gives A's. He is also really funny and sweet. Take him if u can get into the class, it fills so quick.
This is the easiest class EVER!! u don't need to buy thebook, but u should go to class to get the notes because the notes are basically your test. u have one midterm and and one final, each 25 questions. super duper easy and he is the funniest teacher ever!! or at least he tries. loved the class and would take it again in a heartbeat. take him
Even though everyone is saying he is easy, there is a catch. Since he doesnt even tell you what textbook to use, and his tests are ALL from his lectures, that means you do have to come to class, even though he will tell you he doesnt care if youre there. Also, since the ENTIRE class is only worth 50 points, you can only miss 5 points to get an A.
Im very jealous that all these people got to take his class, because i got kicked out the second he enter the room because apparently everybody knows that he doesnt take petitioners except for the 20 people that got up and left when he told us this. HE IS AN ****!
Great personality! Great sense of humor! Channing is one of the best teachers I've taken at Saddleback. He tells you what you need to know and throws in some very funny jokes. With only two tests to determine your grade though, take lots of good notes and study them well. It is an easy class to pass, but a hard one to get an A in.
Currently taking this class, and he makes you buy the book for this class, but I hear you don't have to for the other ones. The midterm and the final consist of 25 questions each, and is done on a scantron. Class is always out early, and he comes late, so class is really short. I think this will be a breeze!
If you are lucky enough to get into his class, do it. Just don't expect to learn a lot through lecture. Two papers, both of them make up the mid-term and final. You get to choose whatever topic you want.
Channing is flat out one of the best teachers I've ever had... PERIOD. He jokes around all the time in class. The other day he answered his cell in class twice and was having a funny conversation. He shows up late most of the time, lets u out after 30-45min, tells u NOT to waste money on the textbook and tests are way easy. He is also a genius!
One of the easiest classes I've taken at Saddleback. Channing rarely shows up to class on time, and dismisses everyone a half hour early. He doesn't assign homework; entire grade is based off of a midterm and final exam, both of which are multiple choice and 25 pts each. Very easy if you come to class and take good lecture notes. TAKE HIM! A+++
he's the best :)
EASIEST ENGLISH CLASS I HAVE EVER TAKEN!!! I just got done taking Channing for summer and passed with an A. All we had to do was write 3, 8-10 page papers, which kind of sucked but u got use to it. Really easy grader, I don't think he read our essays just checked if u had footnotes and at least 8 pages, and if u did u got an A. TAKE HIM!!!!
I am taking English 1A with Mr. Channing now. EASIEST CLASS EVEEEEEER. u can't believe how easy this class is.u have to write 3/4 essays,only social topics and u choose them urself.he gives u a month to write them. if u write 4-5 pages u will get an A FOR SURE. very cool class for none-native students. Do not take Writing classes at IVC, it kills u
The best professor ever. He is funny, nice and you learn how to write because you try hard with no worry to fail.Just be there and write your 4 0r 5 essays, you will get an A.
Waaaaaaay easy! Channing is probably the easiest teacher you will ever get at Saddleback. Really nice guy, cracks jokes in class and has a fun personality. The midterm and the final are a sinch. Take him!
EASY EASY CLASS. Take him, if you would like an A. No homework, he doesn't take attendance, and two multiple choice tests. Just make sure you're in class the day he reviews where he tells you every single answer on the test. Plus this guy is hilarious and entertaining.
Take him for an easy A. 2 papers 5-6 pages long and no BOOK!!!. No mid-term or final.
Awesome.
Awesome.
What is there to say about Channing, very easy class, checks ur paper in liek 3 mins in front of u and gives that paper an A =D. Isnt good healthwise, not even sure if he is continuing to teach. Kidney problems and u name it. Poor Channing, hope he stays around for summer cuz I'm in his class again :D! Easy A. No midterm and final. Rarely shows up.
Professor Channing is an amazing teacher, he is funny and extremely intelligent as well. You don't have to attend his class but you should just because it is so interesting, class is no longer than 40 minutes and there is no textbook or homework assigned. 2 tests, midterm and final, 50 points each.
I really Love~~~~~`` his personality. he's so kind and treats his students equally. He loves to read and always try to help his students. I hate writing but I'm actually enjoying writing in his class. Take his class if you can, you won't regret. BEST TEACHER EVER ~ LOVE HIM~~~
Channing is a real good teacher. Come if you want, listen to what he says, tests are not made to trick you and there is only a midterm and a final. Both 24 questions. And he reads the test to you 2 days before. Cool old guy, but he has a thing for Lindsey Lohan :/
Best class and very interesting. He cares more about his students appreciating art rather than testing them on what they know. One midterm and one final. 25 Q's, and they are not hard. Take take take

Coolest Professor in English Writing department, seriously.Anyhow, he has a dry sense of humor which doesn't make this class boring.Most important, if you turn in the final paper early in the end of the semester before the due date, then you don't have to go into the class to waste your time anymore.So,I had an early winter break than others.
Must take this class during summer. Super easy, just show up, listen to art related stuf, and take notes. He does not have a text and lets you out early. Attendance is not required but it sure make the midterm and final.
easy A as long as you turn in your essays and have some form of orgainization
LOVE LOVE LOVEEEE HIM:) He is hilarious!! His class is a musttt!!
i love channing! we did 5 essays and i got an A in the class even though i turned them in late. the rest of the time we just sat on the internet durning class. EASY A take him!
take him:) AMAZING MANNN!!!
EASY A!!!! No BOOK! You Pick the topic on your essays. all you do in class is work on your essay. a lil big on grammar but still will get an A. Funny guy. I was a little grossed out because he pretty much wore the same blue plaid shirt with a hole through the pocket...
Great teacher!
LOVE LOVE LOVEEE CHANNING:) SO LAID BACK!!! takee him:)
love him:)
love himmm:)
Best way to pass ENG1A and ENG1B. Time in class is used to type papers - if you use the time there is no work required out of class. Take accelerated class if possible. Great class.
He's the best!
Sexiest, most informative, fabulous, and fun teacher ever!
Tells great jokes, but I'm here to learn, not to see a comedian. He fails to get to the point, assignments carry no deadlines. 10 page assignments are no problem, but being unable to gather clear notes made this class intolerable. Probably my A.D.D I don't know.
One of my top and favorite teachers without a doubt. Makes sure his students learn, as well as stay awake!! Tells great jokes pertaining to the work, and makes you like and want to come to class. Do the work he asks of you, take notes, and you will get an A no problem. I wish I could have him for every class I take..HE'S GREEEAAT!!!
Best teacher ever!
Chose Channing for Humanities, and now English. I absolutely LOVE him! He has a GREAT sense of humor, and makes you WANT to come to class. He makes things simple, where other professors would make it a NIGHTMARE. He's clear in what he wants, and tells it how it is. This is one of the BEST professors I've had! RECOMMENDED TO EVERYONE FOR ANY COURSE!
Take Channing. I took him for intro to humanities and he is the easiest teacher ever. There was a midterm and final and he gave u the questions and answers before the exams. One 5 page paper he gives everyone an A pretty much. No textbook. Interesting class!
Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. I finished the class halfway through the semester, given that we only need 2 10 paged papers. Really nice guy, go here if you're looking for an easy A
I took Professor Channing for Eng 1B and Humanities. I absolutely adore him. He is extremely funny, and actually makes you want to come to class! :) He is full of information, and could teach an entire class on several subjects (no text book) better than most teacher can WITH a textbook. He save his students money, and always keeps it interesting!!
Took him for 3 classes Spring semester and he was great! He cut through much of the BS of an English class and focused on your ability to write. You must write 4 papers (3-4 pages each). Once you're done, you don't have to attend the class for the rest of the semester. Allows you write papers in class with a laptop. Does NOT add petitioners, EVER!
Channing is my favorite professor at Saddleback. He really cares about your progress. If you do what you're told, you'll get an A. He can't make it any easier.
Gifted Professor, interesting class, straightforward, whats not to like? Not easy, not hard, just fair.
Easy, but incredibly boring. Doesnt take attendence but gives half the test on some random day, so make sure you at least have a friend who goes to class. Cons: He wont help you at all, he expects you to attend class and wouldnt tell anybody what was on the final. But hes easy and i only went to class about 6 times the entire semester and got an A
He is Funny and interesting to listen to! this class is so easy if u just attend everyday and take notes. as long as u have the notes than youre set for the midterm and final. nothing complicated . Recommend him 100%
His class is so easy. Your grade is made up of 2 exams that he gives you the answers to, nothing else. Channing's a funny guy, but if you actually want to learn something, he probably isn't the prof you want. I can definitely see why he's so popular, though.
Basically you show up (BRING YOUR LAPTOP! or you'll be sitting there with nothing to do), work on your essays. Though it is a hassle to write 4 essays that are 10 pgs. The final essay is 8pgs. Though sometimes he feels bad & makes them all 8pgs. Pretty funny guy. No final/textbook, attendance isn't enforced, likes wine lol. Know MLA & A is granted.
EASY class!!....funny guy
Easy class and got an A.
Funny professor! Attendance is optional, you will notice after the week of class.
EASIEST CLASS IN THE WORLD GOT THE EASIEST A POSSIBLE GOOD LUCK FINDING A SPOT IN HIS CLASS IF U DO YOU ARE SET
A qualified English teacher. Graduated UCSB, Yale, and Stanford. Has a good sense of humor. Towards the end of the semester he showed Shakespeare in Love and broke down all these hidden character connections you would only know if you knew all of Shakespeare's plays and his personal life. He has an interesting perspective on all things in general.
No joke, this was the ABSOLUTE BEST & MOST CHILL CLASS EVER!!!! If you can get him - DO IT, or the joke is on you!
Professor Channing is an amazing professor. His english class is straight to the point of what he expects. There are 3 essays that must be 8-10 pages long from a list. He is easy going but you have to do the work. Make sure you turn things in on time. I feel bad since some students take advantage of how kind he is. P.S. He will not add anyone.
You must attend class to pass this coarse. There is no text book required it is all based on lecture. Channing is a caring individual. He is easy going. The grade is based on 1 midterm and 1 final. That is all. I feel bad since people sometimes take advantage of his kindness. Be respectful he will respect you. P.S. He will not add extra students.
AWESOMEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
I really enjoyed this class. Most people don't attend though, Professor Channing is really fun and has a lot to teach. The class is interesting! Channing is a funny easy going guy, and the class is VERY VERY easy. I recommend taking him if you need an easy "filler" class.
This class is a bomb, and I would take it as much as I could. Super Easy A.
First off, yes this class is an easy A, but only if you show up and take decent notes. I got an A and missed one class. I put in maybe an hour of studying the day before the midterm and final. Thats all you need, but if you do not have notes, since there's no book, you won't score well on the tests. He tells you exactly what he wants! EASY
Very easy class. Just attend class and you have to write and essay for the final and Midterm, and it should be fairly easy because he is very helpful, clear , and knowledgable. He is funny, i loved the class and you actually learn alot of fun stuff if you attend class. Easy A
He is a nice man and has a good sense of humor. He expects you to do the work that he assigns..so do it !! Dont take advantage of his kindness..ask questions and participation will help your grade.
There is no textbook, which saves on money but it is hard to follow his lectures and notes. There is only a in class midterm essay and in class final essay and he tells you to re-read all your notes and does not give a study guide. It is hard to anticipate what he wants you to write on. Don't take unless you are very disciplined!
He is a pretty inept teacher. There is no book, which is fine. But theres also no PPT or anything. He literally just talks for an hour and maybe googles a couple images and talks about it. I got a B, but do not recommend this guy. his class has no structure, there was not even an essay prompt for midterm or final
Channing is the sweetest teacher ever always cracking jokes. Easy A there was supposed to be 3 8-10 page papers but the class voted on 2 and he was fine with that. Did nothing in class except work on the essays. I only went on the days the papers were due and got an A in the class.
Overall great teacher. He makes it sound harder than it actually is in the beginning. One requirement - Attendance! There is absolutely no book, no homework, no study guides. If you take good notes and then study your notes you will get an A! He stresses the necessity of good writing skills which concerned me but I got an A. He is hilarious.
Professor Channing made my approach to literature a much more enjoyable endeavor than it would have been otherwise with his good humor, laid-back style and with this simple, concise advise; “Just ask yourself what is so significant about this work to make it enduring?”
LOVED This MAN like non-other. He not only is a GREAT teacher, his infectious personality make him very desirable. Maybe people are attracted to him because he is highly intelligent,others because he is funny, however, I myself just think he is HOT! Follow this:show up and take good notes you will pass.
Easiest professor at Saddleback. 4-5 papers for the whole class. Just take him if you can register in time.
Professor Channing is the best! If you attend, take notes, and listen to what he has to say you will get an A. He is pretty clear on instructions. Really goofy and just an overall great professor who is insanely knowledgable. I would highly recommend this class to anyone who needs to take Humanities.
One of the best professors I have had in my overall college exp. He's very passionate about the Humanities and is extremely helpful. Ask for clarity if desired and show up to his lectures. If you miss a lecture, you will miss an important section that you could potentially enjoy and write about on the midterm or final. Bottomline:"He's ze best."
If you want an easy A take this class. Only went to half of the classes and got an easy A. There is a short essay for the midterm and final.
he's the best professor I know in Saddleback. You don't have to buy the book and if you listen to his lectures you can learn so many interesting things. He's also funny. We had one midterm and one final to write 6 pages about one of the topicss
All we did the entire semester was to write 3 essays 6 pages long each. That's all we did in class too. And he is a easy grader on the essays as long as you did the 6 pages and put an effort. He's a funny guy and he has a sarcastic sense of humor but overall it was a good class!
Chanbing is a super cool teacher. He only had us take a mid term (6 pages in a little blue book) and a final (6 pages little blue book). Attendance is not mandatory. Hes super funny too!
Too easy. Funny guy too. Best lines, <Channing>: "Does any one here use online dating services?" <random hot girl>: "Do you use it?"<Channing> "No of course not, I have Saddleback!". Other line, <random guy> "Can we write about animal testing?" <Channing> "Animal testing?! What, you mean if they prefer multiple choice or free response?"
This is by far the most laid-back professor that there is. There's really not much to do other than the midterm and final. Take good notes because it's not a walk in the park. One thing to take into consideration, he may be chill but he's also a Stanford alumni and will help you learn about history and humanities.
Like everybody else said all you do is write 3 essays, nothing else. Therefore obviously you wouldn't take this class if you want to improve on your writing skills . Everybody in the class wants the A and will probably get it. Another good thing is that Channing is super hilarious and he has no boundaries on the things he says.
Channing is so entertaining and has a true passion for the arts. I didn't want to take the class, but I'm so glad I did. It's not difficult, students love him, and he makes being there enjoyable. You really learn interesting things. 1010 recommend!
Channing doesn't give one frickle. Literally shows up, talks about images on google, and lets you go early. I didn't go to class for a month straight and still did well. He does not sensor himself so if you are easily offended try another professor. Overall cool dude and class. Would recommend if you want no work load and 3 units
He's super chill and HILarious! Why I took him? NO BOOKS, NO LECTURES, NO WASTING YOUR TIME! Literally the entire semester revolves around 23 essays which must meet 1) the minimum page requirement including works cited & 2) the MLA format. EASIEST ENGLISH PROF EVER, easier than my 1A prof, take him for both, while you still can!!! BEST! #nuffsaid
Channing is honestley a great teacher. Take him if you want an easy A i got an A the only thing i did not like was his midterm was easy but his final was hard?? A lot of questions were on there that were not given in the notes. He doesn't take attendance so you don't have to show up but ALL of his questions are based on the notes so take notes.
Midterm: 25 multiple choice questions. Final: 25 multiple choice questions. There is no homework, reading or other assignments. Enough said.
Dr. Channing is aGodsend and gift to humanities, but my girlfirend.... It's like He doesn't even speak English! Girlfriend! I had caffe with Him and He said "I like" lol. Nice guy love Mike! so nice too--gave b+ to my girlfirend....
If you need this course and want an easy A, then this class is for you. Even though you don't learn anything about writing or anything English related, this class was a great buffer when taking a hard class load. He is really funny and entertaining while you sit there and write papers in his class!
Funniest prof I've ever had, freaking awesome, like pro comedian TV level. Class is just working on papers on laptops. 3 papers 7 pages each on social topics, no reading. Easy grader if you do the work. Will review your paper and make corrections as you go if you ask. Wont let anyone add, do not bother trying to get in he wont let you, seriously.
I LOVE THIS GUY!!! He is so freakin' hilarious, and his class is very straight forward. No textbook, no homework, just listen and write what he says. Loved taking his class, wish I could take it again!
Channing has an odd sense of humor and actually knows what he's talking about. Take the class if you want an easy A and a few laughs. His jokes are pretty raunchy and can offend people but he means well, kind of. He doesn't take attendance and there's no book. Just take notes and you'll be fine. After having him i only filled 6 pages of notes.
Seriously, if you can get in his class ( since it fills up quickly) TAKE HIM. He is so funny and his lectures are literally for 30 min and lets you leave early. I skipped class for a solid 3 months... as long as you get the notes from someone else you're golden. His midterm and final are straight from his notes, so make sure you have it. TAKE HIM
TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Believe me, you will not regret it!!!!!
Wow! Easiest class on campus and definitely an easy A. Only a midterm and a final makeup your grade, but both exams are very straightforward and straight from his notes. He wants everyone to pass his class, literally gave us 10/25 of the answers from the final. Didn't even have a textbook like the other classes, he just Googled images to show us.
Channing was hilarious! This was an easy class with no textbook or homework. Just a midterm and final with 25 questions each. If your other classes drain you out, this one will brighten you day! Only avoid if you can't take Donald Trump jokes. Otherwise, take it if you want a 3 unit class that feels more like a 1 unit class.
This class way nothing but EASY. Professor Channing is hilarious!! You show up to class to work on your essays the whole semester. He does not care what you do during class as long as you complete the few papers assigned. 6-7 page essays on social topics. He is a super easy grader. No other homework, just a few essays for one whole semester. DO IT.
He is the best
He's the best teacher at saddleback. Super easy!!
Class was extremely easy. Lectures through google images and tests are relatively easy as well. Definitely take this class
Professor Channing is so cool. He tells you up front what he expects, your grade is dependent on reading the material he says will be on the tests. If you read what is assigned, you will pass. He is a funny professor that doesn't drag the classes on. Take his class if you have the chance. I heard he is great for humanities as well.
This class is extremely easy. If you know a friend who has taken the class, honestly just borrow their notes and you can pass. Channing is funny, and class lectures are let out early by 30 minutes every day.
It's an easy A . Your ONLY graded on two 8-10 page papers. Everyday he lectures for 2 min and then the rest of the time you do your essays. He is a super easy grader. No homework and No exams. Easy G.P.A boost! He's also funny! I took this class in the summer along with much harder classes. If you want the A take him.
He is the best. Once you get to 1B, you're pretty much done with English so end with an easy class.
Such a great professor, I loved his humanities lectures. Notes are important to take for tests even though the tests are extremely easy. He will give you an A if you really want it with extra credit.
All you have to know is that 1) he is HILARIOUS 2) easy course work 3) very intelligent and knows what he is talking about. I left the semester a better reader.
Professor Channing is the best if you want to take a fun, easy, and transferable class. The class is based on two tests: midterm and the final. They are both very easy, but if you happen to do poorly he will let you do an extra credit paper. The tests are 25 questions and they took me less than 15 minutes to complete. He is very funny!
Almost everyone knows he's one of the coolest professors of Saddleback. If you need an easy A, he's your solution. As long as you write your 3 papers and turn them on time. Easy grader. P.S : he's very funny in the class which is not very common with professors at this age lol
Is he hilarious? Absolutely. Does he know what he's talking about? Absolutely. But the class is a joke. We read a few short stories and then watched a movie -and somehow it took up the entire semester. The class consisted of maybe ten students following the first day, with the exception of test days -non mandatory attendance. It's so simple.
Easiest class I've ever taken! Only 1 midterm & 1 final, no textbook. You only read about 5 short stories, as well as Gatsby & watch the movie version of Othello. But you don't even have to show up to every class, or read every story. When you do show up occasionally take notes & use spark notes at home. He's a funny dude & cancels class a lot.
Super nice man! His humanities class was very fun and he is very knowledgeable which is good. He seemed to know what he was talking about! You only write some notes and look at Google Images and he would tell us the important stuff to write down. You are only graded on a midterm and a final.
Definitely your best option if you're just taking the class for the credits. Lectures are easy, he repeats the things you should know for the midterm and final a lot. No required textbook. I previously took ArtH20 which had a lot of the same material he talked about, making the midterm easier. He's also one of the funniest professors ive ever had.
Channing is the most laid back professor ever. He cracks pretty vulgar jokes and will call you out in class, but it is an easy A. You have two tests, midterm and final. Then there are lectures every day, but they don't last longer than 30-45 minutes.
Professor Channing is very straight forward. His class may be boring but he allows you to use the class time to write your papers/get feedback which you should take advantage of. This class is a lot easier than Eng 1A. He does not lecture. Semester is basically made up by 3-4 papers, 6-10 pages long, no midterm/final, no extra credit, no reading.
Super Easy A! Your graded on a midterm and final. They are based off his lectures and are really easy. He literally gives you a good 40% of the questions and top of that he's so funny. Easy G.P.A boost!!!! Highly recommend!!!!!
Very funny and easy going. Highly recommend taking this class with him!
Amazing professor! Loves to rant about trump. Show up to class and you'll get an easy A. Three papers to write that were super straight forward. You use the internet for your sources on your papers!
Channing's lectures are hilarious and really informing. 1 midterm/1 final, both of which he give 60% of the questions/answers for throughout the lecture and during the review during the 2-3 classes before the exams. You don't really need to go to class to pass as he doesn't seem to care, but he's really funny and I'd suggest you go!
Yeahhhhhhh ! Easyyyyyyyyyyy!
professor channing is an amazing professor he very funny the bad thing is retiring next year he is one of my top ten professors.
Awesome and hilarious professor. He uses google images with his lectures, no book. Grade based on two short tests. Easiest class I have ever taken.
Super funny guy. He only graded us on our midterm and final, but they're super easy if you go to class. I missed a good majority, but I still managed to get my final grade higher than expected. He keeps you entertained through out his lectures.
ENG 1B: so easy, 3 total essays for semester, do not have to show up for class (only to turn in the essay) HUM 1: show up to class, take notes, 2 essays total off of notes (in class at midterm/final) He is literally the easiest teacher and he's super chill and laid back. Take him before he retires.
Channing is by far one of the best profs at saddleback. His lectures are very entertaining. All you need to do is show up and take notes. Class never lasts more than 45 mins. attendance isn't necessary, but don't skip too often because your grade is based on the midterm and final. He is a very smart man and i learned so much in this class!
Great professor, made humanities easier to learn. Always made the class entertained like about random stuff like his gardeners . Overall your test is based off of midterm and final. He shares half of the questions if you actually go to class. Many students only show up on first day, midterm and final. I think you got the idea. Take him and learn
Easiest class Ive ever taken in my life. Only graded by midterm and final that are both only 25 questions. So easy.
Easiest A I have ever gotten. I also learned about art history which I now have a genuine interest in.
