He is a very easy teacher-easy A. I felt I didn't learn anything. Shows movies.Some assignments seem like busy work. You can write research paper on anything that can be pro/con, which makes it more interesting. Doesn't seem to like to answer ?'s.
I took Comp II this past summer, he is one of the best instructors you could hope for. He encourages you to "take chances" with your writing. He is always positive. He is also very knowlegable about current and past events.
He is the best english teacher i have never had. Since I am a foreign student, english is not my strength. however, thanks for Mike helped me out. He encouraged me, and told me that if i work hard everything will be fine. finally, he gave me an easy A for the semester.
Mike Earle is a great teacher for those who really want to learn. He encourages students in all aspects of writing, and also promotes "thinking outside of the box". His class is interesting, and he uses a wide variety of subject matter in his curriculum.
was very good at explaining assignments
Mr. Earle is an outstanding professor. Presents information in a clear and easy to understanding manner. Breaks things down. Open for new ideas and changes. Willing to come in early and stay late to help students. Would recommend highly.
I never really liked English based classes, but Mr. Earle made class bearable. I learned alot that semester.
I feel 100% more confident about my writing skills. Mr. Earle lets you write about stuff in your own way and grades you based on your style, not on his or anyone elses.
He was always very encouraging of students. He treated every student with respect, even the ones who didn't deserve it. He is very open to suggestions and invites criticism. He is a great teacher, but not of English. He teaches that well enough, but that isn't where his strength at teaching is.
SIMPLY THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!
I took this class based on previous postings here and all I can say is THEY WERE WRONG. He does not teach English he instructs you on WARS we have watched films on Vietnam over and over. He is unhelpful and God Forbid you ask a question. One of the worst classes I have ever taken-BAR NONE.
don't listen to the negatives.. mr. earle was great! he is very kind and open correcting major mistakes or letting you turn in a paper late. He is a very sweet old man with cool tattoos on his arm! I recommend him if you already have a handle on writing like I did.. as for others.. I would suggest someone with a little more writing 101.
This class was definately an easy A. He is a very fair grader! Down side is, is that you have to turn in a paper every week...but hey it's Comp II what do you expect. Mostly watched movies...sometimes class seemed kind of pointles...but an easy A for a prerequisite that most of us must take:)
Excellent professor for those who have difficulty with gorden rule. Small papers due just about every week and format of research paper made it easier to tackle. show you are making an effort and he won't take much off for late papers within reason.
I loved this teacher, my first college professor. Made writing very fun. <3
He's pretty cool! But please be prepared to watch a lot of classic movies.
Great semester! Dr. Earle was a wonderful professor who makes it a breeze for someone who has some skill in writing. 1 250 word essay per week and you are on a roll. I highly recommend this class.
he is awesome
Dr. Earle is a VERY nice and honest teacher! keep up with the work, and it will be an easy A. probably the only class i look forward going to
#1 go to class.You get extra credit for coming on time. Its worth it. If you go & do your work youll get an A!!! He makes going to college less stressfullllll!!!! he lets you re-write your essays, come on people i didnt even get to do that in high school... ever. He is realllly easy...no joke.
Excellent professor! He is always willing to answer questions. There are weekly assignments, but they are a breeze if you attend class and read the required-reading. I would highly reccommend taking ENC 1101 with Mr. Earle!
Awsome teacher he dozed off at times when watching a movie but he's cool. I would recommend him. This is an easy A.
mr. earl is a great teacher he treated all his student with respcet. he didn't give a lot of homework. i passed his class with a B. he did dose of in some videos but other than that his class was a breeze.
He is a wonderful teacher. Very fair. One or two essays due every week and that adds up to your word count for the class. Very laid back. Do your work and you'll pass with no lower than a B.
Mr. Earle is a fantastic professor! The reading he assigns is mostly short stories and they are very interesting. There are weekly assignments, but nothing major. This is a great class.
Great teacher. This was my second time having Mr. Earle and class was actually a bit more interesting than ENC 1101. It's an easy A, attendance is not mandatory, but he gives you extra credit for each day you are there. Easy essays. One due each week. Adds up to your 6000 word count for the semester. I highly recommend him.
I would not recomend to you to take his class. He might be a good teacher, but I would like to know my scores and keep track of them. He has no idea of how to use Angel. I learned nothing in his class.
NO STRUCTURE WHAT SO EVER. Half the class was confused on what to do/when things were to do, etc. I dropped his class because he'll assign things like "i want this in a few weeks".... then you will come to class "okay turn in your paper bla bla"... If you take him, be flashdrive ready.
I was intimidated at 1st because it seemed like a ton of work but this class was so easy. He gives you all of the assignments ahead of time and tells you when they are due so you could even work ahead if you wanted. I would take him again.
First semester teaching in the C.O.E- he did a great job!
He is a great teacher!!
He is a great professor. I like the way he teach the class.We all love him.
OK...Well Mr.Earle is a wonderful instructor....ONE WORD... EASY!!! But this class is easy.People dont tell you this but i will,your better off taking it online.... students please dont waste time in class... I got a B, that was because he graded me on my attendance and being that i was never there that killed my chance at an A...I RECOMMEND ONLINE
The entire semester I was nothing but polite and friendly but for some reason he had a personal issue with me. I did beyond his expectation but got low B's and Cs on all my lengthy and excellent papers. He actually said the "F" word to me twice and I have been nothing but nice to him. Everyone loves him, I don't know why he picked me out.
STRANGE LITTLE MAN THAT ISN'T FAMILIAR WITH ANGEL.BE PREPARED TO TAKE FLASHDRIVE WITH U .
NICE ENOUGH GUY JUST UNSTRUCTURED.
Earle is a nice guy, just not a good teacher. He doesn't have due dates for anything, he'll just assign something due next week. But he doesnt hold you accountable either. My friend didn't turn in a paper that was due for two weeks. She got a 100 when she did turn it in. This class is superrrrrrr easy to get an A in, but it's a waste of time i thin
One word... easy. It was facebook during class and everythign that was homework well that was a 10 minute job. I think you probably can get a better class with someone else or even take it online and get more out of the subject. I didn't really learn what I wanted to in here but I sure am glad i took it
***VERY HARD CLASS*** I thought this class was as easy as everyone says but I think he changed! His class is now actually harder than ever!!!! Do Not Take This Class!!!!!!
JUST TOOK THIS CLASS LAST SEMESTER ITS VERY EASY!! HE LETS YOU REDO EVERYTHING TO GET A BETTER GRADE.THERE ARE REALLY NO DUE DATES, BUT IF YOU FOLLOW THE SCHEDULE YOU WILL DEF GET AN A AND WONT HAVE MUCH TO DO.
Please do not take this professor if you planning to keep your 4.0 gpa status. He grade harsh and love to deduct points of your paper. His class is UNstructured. He won't help. He take more than 3 weeks to give back your retyped essay. If you like super challenge then he's your man. I WOULDN'T take him if you give me A MILLION DOLLARS!!!
I took Mr. Earle for ENC 1101 and 1102 and both classes were GREAT! He is a wonderful professor and grades fairly. He is willing to help as long as you are willing to ask. This is a college-level composition course, so of course you should understand the basics of grammer and punctuation BEFORE you enter this class. Very interesting guy!
Took this guy online, loved it. Very nice structure; short stories that keep you interested along with a quiz and a discussion post every week, second half of semester was based off watching a movie and writing a review for it; how fun! Pulled an A...very fair teacher.
He is the most unorganized teacher I've ever met! He looses work, it takes him forever to reply back to an email! Sometimes he doesnt even reply back. Hes very unclear with assignments. If you take him class you basically have to figure everything out yourself. So, good luck.
awesome teacher took him for college experience thought he was awesome DONT come in late he gives bonus credit(alot) for perfect attendence real straight foreward guy PAY ATTENTION when hes talking or you will not know what to do easy teacher.
Very nice guy. Work is easy, but there is a lot of writing. Mostly opinion type papers.Not a lot of consistency throughout semester; i.e. prof kept changing due dates and assignments each week. Made me feel like I was entering the Twilight Zone every time I went to class. Word count is essential.
I was dreading this class since I failed it a few semesters ago (my own fault). But this class was great! I took it online. Yes there is writing involved..it is comp 2..but I didn't find it to be unbearable or difficult. Two writing assignments, a bunch of short stories & quizzes, and a few discussion posts. Take him!
THIS PROF. IS VERY CLEAR ABOUT WHAT IS EXPECTED OF ASSIGNMENTS. HE IS WONDERFULLY ORGANIZED. THE WEEKLY SCHEDULE IS SPELLED OUT COMPLETELY. GRADING IS REASONABLE. I WOULD DEFINITELY TAKE ANOTHER CLASS THAT HE TEACHES. SOME OF THE WEEKLY QUIZZES ON READING CAN BE SLIGHTLY TRICKY, SO KNOW THE MATERIAL.
Professor Earle is amazing. I took his Comp 2 class online and would not have changed a thing. He is a GREAT teacher! If you like online classes you would love his class. The short stories that you read are enjoyable and not boring! TAKE HIM!
He is a the best teacher I ever had.
Great Professor, very laid back in my opinion. He's very nice to all his students and is always willing to help if you need it.
Such an easy A. I don't know why I was so nervous to take this class. Just show up and do the work. It's not even hard work either. Good luck.
He was a good teacher. He was helpful. He did not go over punctuation a lot, but if you are in this class you should know enough with the help he gives you. I had a family emergency and he was very understanding and helpful.
Wonderful and supportive teacher. Not a hard class. Sometimes the material is a little boring, but it's a great way to get through a required class with an A and a good prof.
This class was so so easy, and the subject matter was really straightforward, if a little boring. Mr. Earle is really focused on student success, so if you finish everything in his class, you can work on stuff for other classes. He is a fair grader, and he works hard to incorporate his admittedly dull subject into a useful manner.
My favorite teacher to date. Very down to earth. Class is relatively easy because he makes it easy to understand. Everyone should have him for a teacher.
Great professor. Would help anytime. Cares about his students, Would take it again.
Pointless course, but he made it bearable. He talks and moves really slow but he's funny. If you show up you'll do fine.
This is a great professor, he gives feedback and if you make a mistake you can try again. the due dates are not set in stone and you can make up work. just show up on time and do the work and you will def pas. This professor is a great help and even said he would help re read my work from other professors. great teacher and you will love his class
Best professor I've ever had! He wants to see his students succeed. He leaves helpful feedback on all papers. This class takes about 3 hours a week for homework. He offers plenty of extra credit options. Very lax on grades. You WILL pass this class if you do the work.
Love this professor! As long as you show up and turn in the easy assignments, you will get an A! He will give you plenty of times to redo or catch up. Lenient grader. He offered to be a reference when signing up for scholarships and followed through just as he said. Take him if you have the option!!!!! He is funny, smart, and you won't regret it.
Amazing professor. I would honestly recommend Professor Earle to anyone. He's not very strict on due dates but does want you to learn and do your work. He wants you to succeed! Very funny guy, he truly cares about his students. Take him as a professor . He is amazing!!
Professor Earle is amazing! He cares about his students and he definitely wants to see each and every one succeed. I took Professor Earle for The College Experience and enjoyed that class so much I jumped on the chance to take him for Comp II. His syllabus contains everything you could possibly need to succeed.
15 short stories & quizzes, 15 movies, 1 research report. We watched a movie every week in his class and then had to write a short analysis. For extra credit, you can watch more movies from list. 6,000 words total had to be written by end of semester. I would definitely take him again. Great professor overall! Loved him..
Professor Earle is a really fun teacher, but his class is very disorganized and hard to follow. There are a lot of assignments and zero due dates so be prepared to develop great organization habits. He's very nice but I think he's been teaching for too long and has a hard time keeping track sometimes.
Me. Earle is the BOMB. He explains the assignments in class. He wants you to write every week but the only way to learn to write better is to keep writing. Ive taking his classes before and I will take it again.
I loved him! He has been teaching for awhile; he's full of tattoos, funny stories and experiences! I actually learned some interesting stuff from this "pointless" course. Super lenient grader; no specific due dates so things can get a little disorganized, but he's charming and wants you to succeed. IDK if i would take him for ENC but i enjoyed him
Great professor, A lot of work though a short 5 paragraph essay due every week. There is a final research paper. He is not harsh with grading at all, i received one C for a paper and he let me redo it.
Dr. Earle is just a great human being, plain and simple! He doesn't expect you to be anything you are not but does expect you to show up, do your work, and participate! If you have an issue, communicate. He's like 80 so he's been around, has fabulous stories, has pretty much done everything and knows his stuff!Take a class just to say you met him!
He is all over the place and gives lots of homework. it is not an easy class for me personally
Prof. Earle was such a nice man who made class a joy! Most of the assignments were online as modules and we had to do a few papers that were quite easy. I would take him again for any of his other classes.
I took this professor during another term at SPC. He really is a fantastic teacher and it's obvious he really cares about his students. The workload is considerable however he gives you everything up front and you chip away over the course of the semester. He really makes a quite boring class fairly interesting.
This professor is actually really cool and its super easy to get a good grade! The only thing I dont like is how he fills the grade book with zeros for all assignments and then changes your grade as you about the class. Other than that the work load is super easy, I can bust out an essay in 20 minutes and receive an A. Super easy going!
Professor Earle is a really nice teacher. He really cares for his students and loves his job fully. Most of the class is watching documentary movies and writing papers (not to hard). We had one research paper to do and he spread it out throughout the entire semester (so not everything is due at once). I'll be taking comp-2 with him to.
He is such a kind man. He clearly cares about his students as people, and hes flexible if you ask. The class is pretty easy - you dont have to put a lot of time into assignments or go to every class to get an A. I still go to class to hear his stories because hes a super interesting guy
Awesome Professor and really cares about the students.
Lots of small yet easy assignments. Review the Course Content, as there isn't a due date for anything and you can get confused. Always work ahead, and do the unit quizzes as soon as the unit has been reviewed in class. Pretty easy assignments, just lots of them. One 500-word research paper, 12 quizzes, and one presentation.
Mr. Micheal Earle is one of the most amazing people I have ever met in my life. His experience, opinions, and insight have inspired beyond what I could have imagined. He is fascinating. I'd always suggest to stay every class to hear some incredible information he provides towards the end, especially considering the subjects at hand. Love him!
Dr. Earle. Where to even begin? He has been such an inspiration to me and has reinstated a confidence in my ability as a student that has allowed me to flourish at SPC. His grading criteria are very clear and easy to understand. He allows students to finish his class early, which is something I personally took advantage of. He is an amazing profess
I have taken this professor for multiple classes that he teaches; he is by far one of the best I have ever had, willing to give good feedback and helpful tips. The assignments are average difficulty, and he is flexible on turn-in dates if something comes up, but if you don't show up and don't turn things in, you won't pass.
Dr. Earle is a great professor to have if you're looking for an easy A. He grades all his assignments as 100's so long as you turn in something. His "lectures" are just the headings in the textbooks. He also lectures for like half an hour then falls asleep. This class was a waste of my time and money, but at least it's an easy A.
I took this class online during the summer for the 8 weeks, it was a really good class! The amount of work is decent like in any other class, but there is a lot of extra credit! easy A, I would take him again
He isn't good with getting back to you in a timely matter. Very rude. Really don't teach anything. Have a lot of guest speaker, Also talking personally calls. I would not recommend this class to anyone wish I never took it.
Professor Earle, is outstanding. Its college so yes you have to do homework. One paper a week on an old movie usually. The paper is roughly 500 words and you have 15. This guy wants you to succeed and learn. Invest in yourself and you will be rewarded. He is extremely and frankly to lenient on slacking students. Do the work youll Get an A+.
If you have a chance to take his class, than you should grab it. He is amazing. The workload isn't crazy or anything like that. I took his Live Online class and loved it. he is a super chill dude and will give you extra credit and then some. he opens his course early so you can get ahead and he grades in a timely manner and gives great feedback.
I took this over the online over the summer. He will open the class early to get started. He is very fair and gives options for extra credit. Very good and fair teacher.
Dr. Earle is the GOAT! He gives out extra credit like Oprah gives out cars. He is also a lenient grader. I took him during summer, so we would watch two movies a week and write a 300-350 word essay on each movie. There were some short story quizzes that were easy. Lastly, there's a research paper. You compare/contrast a movie/book, 1000-1500 words.
I went into college stressing out about comp but professor earle gave me one of the easiest pathways to success in my college career his class was so easy
Dr. Earle was a magnificent professor. I took him for Composition II last semester. He is very funny and insightful. We watched film noir and wrote essays each week. There are also short stories with quizzes online and a research project. He is definitely one of the most interesting professors I have had! I would highly recommend taking him.
I took Professor Earl for College Experience and he used the exact course work he used for Comp II (I Knew people taking both of his classes). He loaded us with work every class that had no relevance to our subject at the time. This class was needed for a credit but I would not recommend him for Comp II or College Experience.
