He's VERY smart! You learn a lot. JUST MAKE SURE YOU DO WHAT HE ASKS YOU TO DO!
My favorite professor at Pace. I wish I had him for ENG 102, grave mistake!
he is a good professor who allows his student to write in their own voice.
The best prof. Interesting, Intelligent, Funny, Fun but kinda hard grader
A brilliant man! You learn a lot (EVEN IF YOU FAIL)
Schuyler+Goldleaf+Rosenfeld=THE WORST

Great guy & great teacher. Loved the class.
cold-hearted, bitter person, but good eng teacher
Be ready for a tough ride, yet lots of fun. A real challenge. The best !
you cheat your beat! best prof. there is!
I will be a great loss to Pace if he ever leaves1
I hated him at first, but at the end I think I even like him. I learned a lot.
great, awesome, brilliant...need I say more?
Thinks he is the center of the Universe. His way or the highway.
Great proffesor..fair...if you're stupid don't expect to pass...

If you're willing, then you will pass. If not, don't bother. Very straightforward and challenging. One of the best at Pace. Will be sorely missed.
I dont wanna sy his class is easy because its not. It makes you think, but they way he teaches makes it seem easy. Amazing at teaching you how to write a proper essay. Tough grader, but helpful in the long run. Very, very smart guy.
He is a very good teacher, but unfair at times...
Great professor if you like to learn. Interesting lectures. Very smart guy, but a little arrogant.
This dude will tear u up and have you for lunch. if writing is not ur thing, this guy will insult you, make you feel horrible and never want to see another eng class again. don't take him. DON't take him.
VERY ARROGANT! Greets all his ex students like its his buddies at the Bar. I couldn't believe I was in a higher learning LIT class at Pace. Felt as if I was in high school, he needs to show respect for his class and be reminded he's a Prof. not a PAL.
"Welcome to Happy Hour everybody!" Any way, Mike has a way with his students. At the end of the term, you will feel like all the effort paid off-and you will definitely admit that you had a great time along the way!
THE WORST PROF. I EVER HAD AT PACE. HE NEEDS TO RESPECT HIS STUDENTS AND NOT THINK THAT HE'S PERFECT. HIS CLASS WILL BE A WASTE OF YOUR TIME. DON'T BOTHER TAKING HIM! HE SHOULD DEF QUIT TEACHING!
I have to admit that Mike can teach, but... I think that his grading is unfair. When I tried to contact him about my final grade, he sent me a nasty email that he will not discuss the particulars and never to email him again!!! And I still don't know why
He is a very good professor. VEry helpful. IF you do what he asks, and do it on time then you will be fine. He is not easy, but he is a great teacher. IF you really want to learn ENglish, take him.
Geez, as everyone else says, he is in love with his old students. And they are the ones to disrupt the class the most with stupid comments while taking an exam.
Ok people, I am so sick of hearing that Mike is "in love" with his old students. You are all just jealous that you haven't had the same amount of fun we have had! Too bad for you. Have fun while it lasts.
Very enjoyable class. You have to participate. He is very arrogant, but it is not bothersome.
STAY AWAY
You'll learn something and he is helpful. Not an easy A. Read the books, do the work, participate in class. One of the best English Professors I've had.
don't know my final grade yet, but no matter what it is, that's what i deserve. Mike's great. exciting class and interesting reading material. you'll have fun, at least i did. i wish he taught business courses, i'd take his classes for sure.
best professor I've ever had. First paper is tough but will reinvent your style of writing to make it simple but effective. The guy knows what he is talking about and won't be around the bush about it. Also, very informative about corrections and grading.
He is hardworking and talented. Although I am Moroccan and English is my third language, I was able to learn a lot from this course. Shame on those whose English is the first language and still feel free to criticize him! We Love you!
Great Prof. He's very Knowledgeable. Makes the class interesting. If u want to learn and do well in English or Lit classes, TAKE HIM!
ahhh michael. Well, he knows what hes doing thats 4 sure, so if u know ur writing is sh.. and expect to receive an A, stop while your ahead. Oh and by the way, be prepared to hear things you might not expect nor like. otherwise ull b fine.
horrible really horrible teacher.prepare to get offeded in class.
He's a good prof. He's super efficient, doesn't waste your time. He demands a lot from you but if you give him what he asks you'll be fine, the end result is that you're a better writer. He allows class disscussions and one on one conferencing sessions.
Great Prof. and person, very clear on the material and expectations. Four years later, I still remember the things he taught. I can't say that about many classes.
this guy is a pain in the ass. If you leave out a comma ur paper starts off as a C. He thinks he's gods gift to the english department. And will say he's the best writer there is in class. He will tell u to ur face that u are a horrable writer.
I THOUGHT HE WAS REALLY GOOD AND VERY FAIR, MAY SCARE YOU A LIL BIT AT FIRST BUT CLASS LECTURES ARE VERY FUN AND INTERESTING, YOU WILL DEFINITELY LEARN MORE FROM HIM THAN ANY ENGLISH PROF AT PACE, GRADES FAIRLY, JUST DO WHAT HE ASKS AND YOU'LL BE FINE :)
He is great and for the person who wrote in from his 210...you are a horrible writer if you can't even spell horrible! it is not "horrable"...and you can't even say it is a typo as the "a" and "i" keys are not even next to ea
Dangerous! He has a very strange and unnerving view of people and that reflects in his teaching. Actually, he does not really teach but entertains. Just spare yourself, your grades, and your happiness.
he's ok, but has a little attitude problem.
Your Screwed. Good Luck.
If you want to learn how to write well and are not afraid of a challenge this teacher is for you.
Horrible man. I'd like to see a school official sit in one of his classes and die of shame for hiring a guy like this. Awful, awful man. Teacher? how did THAT ever happen??? and all the positive feedback is from him. DONT BELIEVE IT
AWWWWW Whiners....he is NOT horrible...what did you do? Cheat?! or maybe you just are really bad in English....
he sucks
in his class i learned ZERO about writing, cause he is simple minded. He hates everyone, including himself. he is a low grade teacher
This prof will challenge you, and you will become a fantastic writer because of it. He is fair, but you have to put in the effort, and show him you are serious. His lectures are terrific, he makes you laugh, think, and feel. This class has definetly changed the way I think about a lot of things.
ok class, but he has obvious favorites (students) which makes other students feel invisible, like they should not even be there.
The most arrogant, single-minded teacher I have ever met. To bestow upon him the hard-earning title of professor is beyond disrespectful to those faculty members who truly deserve it. This man is nothing. The only thing you will learn is that there are people out there who are truly bad.
I HAD HIM YEARS AGO AND AM WORKING A "REAL" JOB NOW. HE WAS TOUGH AND IF YOU WANT TO WALK AWAY WITH AN EASY A TAKE ANOTHER PROFESSOR. BUT IF YOU WANT MORE OUT OF COLLEGE... AND LIFE, CHALLENGE YOURSELF, LISTEN CAREFULLY, AND NEVER THINK YOU KNOW EVERTHING. NO ONE DOES, BUT SOME PEOPLE MAY BE A LITTLE CLOSER THAN YOU . HE IS.
