Awesome professor! The best English teacher ever! He helps you get an A. If you want to have fun and the same time learn, take his class and you'll know why.
Fantastic! Definitely the best English teacher. Don't even think about taking classes with another professor.
I took this class for dual enrollment and it was so easy. He is unbelievably nice and understanding about students' situations. if you dont get an A in this class its because you're trying extremely hard not to.
Took him both for 1102 and 2210. Best professor I have had to date. Very helpful and down to earth. No tests at all. Presntation at the end of term which is on anything you want. As for the term papers, you get to do it in parts so he looks over them and gives you a heads up what direction to take. Really cool Professor!!!!
Great teacher! Everyone who is looking for a good English teacher should give Plakcy a shot.
THE BEST TEACHER EVER!!!!!!!!!!TAKE HIM FOR EVERY ENGLISH

What part of "This essay must be written during the orientation session" did you NOT understand? You asked me for permission to leave the orientation early-- you DID NOT ask for permission to write your paper before everyone else. It is IMPERATIVE that you follow instructions in this class. You're already off to a bad start.
Prof. Plakcy is an honest, straightforward, and kind professor. He will answer your questions to satisfaction. From time to time, he will give some additional time to turn in assignments if you give him ample notice.
Excellent professor. Very helpful and patient. Will go out of his way to help you and even accept work late. Would defiantly recommend him to anyone who wants to take English.
Mr. Plakcy is an extremely dedicated teacher. I took an on-line class and he always responded to the students quickly and with thoughtful responses. He provides useful criticism to help make his students better writers.
He's passionate about what he does and the class is rather easy. I do think he makes comments that are taken the wrong way but doesn't realize it. At the end of the day it's business, don't take it personally. He does have a strong personality, his way or the high way but do as your told and you'll be fine :)
he is excellent just be ontime with essays
Take his class and very cool online
excellent teacher
Good teacher. Very strict though. I didn't care for him very much. He is very harsh and sometimes rude. I always felt like he thought that I was stupid. I took the online class. He is clear, but I really didn't like him much
He's a nice professor. He usualy discusses every story during class, so it's not necessary to buy or read the textbook. The class is very easy. You will definitely get an A as long as you do the work-which is not hard at all.
He's a cool guy. Stay on task, and you'll get a good grade. He's little "fresh" with students though. I would take his class again for the easy A
HE IS VERY RUDE DISRESPECTFUL, HE MAKE IT SO HARD TO ASK A QUESTION BY NOT BE LITTLE YOU. HE IS FULL OF HIS SELF I WOULDNT RECOMMEND YOU TAKE HIM HE ISNT FAIR WHAT SO EVER
I don't understand what people mean by rude. At first i was skeptical about taking him because of the rating I'm glad i did received a B and i literally did ever assignment the night it was due.Unlimited attemps for quizzes and discussions or quizzes not mandatory. GREAT
I took him for online and I must say, It was a lot of work because you write A LOT of essays in the short time frame but I the class over all wasn't that bad. You can buy the book but we hardly ever used it. He does give you a chance to earn some extra grades. As long your on top of it and do the essays on time, you'll be fine.
Great teacher!!! A lot of assignments but he is will take his time to help you.A lot of opportunities for estra credit as well. He is a very respectful and a polite person, so I don`t understand why in one of the previous post someone said that he is rude. Well, he is an english teacher, so u dn`t write like this, he un`t like it. JAJA
Very good teacher, just do the work and you will get a good grade
VERY GOOD TEACHER! I PASSED HIS CLASS WITH A B BECAUSE I MISSED ONE DAY. AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED HE IS THE BEST TEACHER I'VE EVER HAD. VERY EASY, JUST ASK QUESTIONS AND HE IS VERY WILLING TO HELP. HE LOOKS AT YOUR WORK BEFORE YOU SUBMIT IT TO MAKE SURE YOU GET A GOOD GRADE! I RECCOMEND THIS CLASS.

He is very nice. I missed Orientation and he let me make it up, then I missed an essay and he let me turn it in late, though he wasn't too happy about that. He makes comments on essays that are very helpful and it was altogether fairly easy.
This is a great professor, i took him online and he was extremely helpful all of his assignments were clear and as long as you follow directions well, you will do well in this class. He is extremely helpful and gives lots of extra credit.
If you want to learn Take this class. If you want to understand why your passing or failing take this class. To gain a meaningful understanding of English literature this would be The " Best Professor To take"....
Professor Plakcy is an amazing person/professor. His essays are about fun and relevant subjects and he grades with ease. He is extremely liberal and very clear on what he wants. I highly recommend taking him for an insightful and easily gained A.
This class was so easy. Just do all of the quizzes and the 3 assignment and you will get an A.
ONLINE: Very easy and interesting class. He made the work down to Earth and understandable. I recommend him because he wants you to learn through experience.
Great Professor!! He's very cool and helpful. I was actually surprised how interesting the class is. I recommend his class to ANYONE!!!
Great professor! I took the online course and am happy I did. The pace was manageable. The work was fun. The teacher was flexible. I would highly recommend to anyone just looking for a simple "A" to fulfill the writing requirement.
Excellent professor! Apply yourself, do the assignments and discussions and you are assured a good grade. The final exam is also not difficult. He's fair and uncomplicated. Additionally if you like to read then this class is an easy A.
Prof. Plakcy's class was a breeze. This was my first online class and although i had minor concerns initially, once i got into it...smooth sailing all the way through. If you are thinking about taking this class online, he is the professor for you, complete assignments on time and participate and if you need assistance he is usually available.
He's a tad bit rude for my taste but I cant admit he's class was pretty damn easy. I took his online class.
Amazing proffesor! I like the class. Extremely easy
I took online class,NICE professor, extremely helpful i got an A but you have to do the all asignments and discussions
I loved the way this class was structured. The instructor allows you to work at your own pace. The assignments are really fare. Loved this class.
He is very easy just don't procrastinate. I took his class online and aced it. You dont need the book because you can google all of the poems and stories. But then again I recommend the book because it will help with writing your papers and supporting your statements. He is not rude. I think he's funny. By the way I hate english... But he rocks!
He is a very good professor. He is not too hard on the class and gives you enough time to complete your assignments. Textbook was barely used. I enjoyed going to his class. I would recommend him!
He's a great teacher. Very helpful and understanding. His assignments are easy and clear. Keeps you interested in the subject. Tells you what you need to do and that's the end of class, no rambling or unnecessary boring lectures. Gives you more than enough time to complete assignments. Easy A.
One of the best teachers I have ever had. Every week you have to write an essay, but the topics are all about food. Super helpful with any questions. I would take his class again in a heart beat.
Easiest Class Ever, Everything You Need To Do Is On D2L. Lowest Grade You Could Ever Get Is A "B" He Is Really That Easy Just Do All The Quiz And Discussions. I'm Taking Him Again For My ENC1102 Class. He Is Very Helpful You Would Definitely Learn In This Class.
OMG Prof. Plakcy is an amazing guy! He is EXTREMELY helpful and understanding! He is very passionate about his craft! I didnt get a book for the semester and you don't really need it!EASY WORK. He sends work through D2L,He wants you to attend class also! One of my favorite Professors. Take Him!
If a professors had 67 ratings and all of them are good just pick him. set professor Ive ever had
OMG TAKE HIM. WILL NOT REGRET. EAST A. GPA BOOSTER
Professor Plakcy is a great professor. He is very passionate about his job. Class is a piece of cake. Only two papers and an easy final. You will pass with no effort and get an A with a little effort. He is a must take.
The best english teacher ever! I took him for 1101 as well. He's very approachable and explains everything well. He's very helpful when it comes to assignments and is willing to help out with research papers. Take him if you can!
He was good! I like him as a person but as a professor he was pretty boring.. Good teacher!
Mr.P is very helpful and gives good feedback. Class is boring but no midterm and attendence is mandatory. All work and quizes due online. I RECOMMAND HIM.
Very clear spoken on his lectures. There are I believe about 12 short, very easy discussions, 2 papers, a few online quizzes, and the final exam is online. My class was online and in class. The book he requires is The Hunger Games. I found this class very easy. If you just do the work, you'll get a good grade.
Love him. Easy A.. I made a big error but he saw my interest so I'm glad I took him.
Very easy class! It seemed like there were a lot of assignments but they were all really easy. There wasn't even a midterm or a final
AMAZING PROFESSOR. I recently took his Mystery Fiction class online and I have to say that it was the best decision I made as of now. The assignments go hand-in-hand with the short stories; so if you read them you're 100% guaranteed to pass this class. Great professor! I would definitely sign up for another one of his classes in the future.
He has a different take on an ENC class and it's really refreshing. You have online quizzes but the answers are all in the text. Only two super easy essays and lots of easy discussions. If you do all the work you'll get an A no problem.
Quite possibly easiest class of my life, because my class was blended all of the discussions and tests were online with the references there and readily available. All that you have to do is go to class, and read Hungergames and watch the movie. He even gave extra credit to go and have your paper proofread at the academic success center.
Everything is just on d2l for you to do Mr. Neil does not take time to really teach.. you know. Good Luck!
Great professor who has a lot of background in the subject. One paper and each chapter has a quiz that you can take multiple times. Easy class with interesting information!
This dude is really cool, he is really passionate about his work and teaching. He really wants to help the students and help them get a job some day in the field. Easy class with one paper on your favorite TV show and 14 easy quizzes that you can take whenever you want. The point is this class is easy as cheese. Easy easy easy!
Excellent professor, easy A if you do your work, get to leave class early
He was awesome, I had him for a blended class. He would put everything on the syllabus with links to the different assignments, and if you did not understand an assignment, we will be more than happy to explain it to you.
Professor Plakcy's class was by far the easiest class i took all Fall semester. He likes engaging with the class, has a good sense of humor, and i found his lectures enjoyable. There is a book but you don't need to bring it to class. There's one quiz and discussion post every week and no tests. Then there's one group project at the end.
A lot of material he posts on D2L are from previous classes he's taught, are dated and have different instructions than what he actually wants. Hopefully, he'll stop being lazy and update the material.
Easiest professor ever!!!
No textbook, no midterm and no final. 1 discussion each week, 1 paper about your favorite Tv shows, 13 quizzes on D2l all answers were found on Google and 1 group project presentation. I only showed up to class like 3 times he doesnt care about attendance.
No textbook, no midterm and no final. Attendance is not mandatory. There is 1 discussion and 1 easy assignment due each week and 13 quizzes on D2l and the answers are all online. He grades everything based on completion so as long as you do your work he will give you an A. He lets you turn things after the due date for full credit.
he was very self explanatory, though grader so be ready to write as best as you can!!
AMAZING PROFESSOR!! He's so kind and considerate. It's literally impossible to fail his class. Instead of a text book, we read "Hunger Games" which is alot more budget friendly.
One paper, one group presentation. Do discussions and quizzes. The class is very easy and understandable. Professor Placky is great. You will hear a lot about his books.
Professor Plakcy is an amazingly caring teacher. There are no tricks or guess work as far his class is concerned. He is clear about what is expected of his students. I took session two ENC1102 and as long as you attend class, do online quizzes, discussions, and essays you will do just fine. He strongly encourages spell and grammar checks.
This class is a easy A you have two easy essays and a midterm and final. He also extends due dates and will help you without hesitation. You only have to do discussions for homework.
Very easy class i took it as one of the fast sessions and i recommend not wasting your time on a session 1 or 3 for his class. Took it during COVID-19 and he was very understanding. Easy quizzes based on a book youll need for the class, discussion posts, & 2 very easy short essays no more than 1,000 words required. Really nice professor over all.
Take him for ENC1102, he's the best. I took this class as an accelerated course and it was still the easiest english class i've ever taken. There was only like two papers and a few discussions/quizzes. He also gives great feedback and is super helpful.
The class was easy, no complaints on my end. Responds swiftly to your emails, gives good feedback on your papers. I would take him again, if given the chance to. Only two papers out of the entire course, I had him for a 6-week course. Easily can get all the work completed for the course easily within two weeks. Key is to work ahead really.
This professor is by far the best experience I have had in the past 2 years at Broward College. Answers emails immediately, you have to read a book called "Think like a Freak" in which I really truly enjoyed and I am not an avid reader. We had a couple of papers and discussions all do-doable. I highly highly recommend this Professor for ENC1102!!!!
Professor Plakcy is amazing. I took him for session 1 fall 2021, i had to write 2 easy essays. Think like freak is the book required for this class. Easy A, he dont grade hard, explains everything. I highly recommend
I dropped my previous ENC1102 because of how terrible the professor was, and I requested a seat opening through email for Professor Plakcy. It was the best choice I made at BC! We read a book throughout the course that truly dug into the roots of life's golden simplicity we forget to realize. I loved this Professor and the course!
10/10 take Professor Neil again. He makes the class an easy flow, doesn't over load you with work, and gives plenty of time to submit it. He's willing to help you with any questions you have and it shows that he is passionate about what he does. His lectures and discussions are relatable and easy to follow.
Great professor! If you submit your papers, do the discussions, and take the (very easy) quizzes, you'll definitely pass with an A. He is lenient on deadlines and approachable on e-mails. He also gives out proper feedback and makes class interesting. There's a required narrative book, but I didn't pay for expensive access codes, which is a plus.
Prof Plakcy is an amazing professor! 2 papers (500 and 750 words), 8 discussions (no reply, and only a few sentences), and 8 quizzes (unlimited attempts, highest score inputted). His lectures were inspiring, and he is not a terribly difficult grader! I took him for his 8-week course, and he was great.
Amazing. Easy class. Made us write 3 essays but they were super easy and hes not very strict, if you ask for extra time hes willing to give it to you and overall explains everything so everyone can understand. Definitely would take again.
I know this review is coming in late, but he deserves it. I took him in the fall 2019. he's a great professor. I highly recommend him for anyone who needs to take English. You actually learn and the assignments and writings were not difficult. He cares about his students and he's very understanding. He was a fun class
Although this class was online, Professor Plakcy was amazing. The class was really easy. 6 discussions, 2 in each chapter, and 5 assignments which are really where the points come from. Gives ample time to work on assignments. If you see this class with this professor highly recommend taking it.
Great professor, I personally was just confused on the criteria when it came to the papers so if you are confused make sure to ask lots of questions what saved my grade was the discussions and tests
