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.

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!!!!

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
