couldn't stand him

Absolutely avoid. He grades papers with codes. Took two hours to decode problems with my papers.

Avoid him at all costs. There is a reason his classes are usually still open.

hard hard hard! I made A's in all of my classes BUT his and that was the only class I ever studied for! And I heard he runs in pink speedos

HARDEST CLASS I EVER TOOK IN MY LIFE!! I ADVICE YOU NOT TO TAKE THIS CLASS UNLESS YOU ARE AN EXPERT IN ENGLISH AND ARE WILLING TO WORK YOUR BUTT OFF FOR IT!!!

One of the most effeminate men I have ever met."Lost in the 60's" is a good way to describe him.He very much amuses himself,and bores everybody else to tears. He never speaks a sentence without throwing two or three or thirty "uhhhh,and th

DON'T take any of his classes, you will regret it every single day of the semester. you will end up feeling just like me--i'd pay $300 to be able to punch him in the face and not get in trouble for it.

First of all his teaching methods are way bizzare. He can't get out a single sentence without stuttering!! It gets so freaking annoying! He is OBESSESSED with sex! Every piece of literature has to refer to it. Plus he always makes the dumbest jokes.

This Professor isn't great at all. He makes you do stupid things like read one line sentences in class. He doesn't return work to you like other professor he has his own grading system that sucks really really badly. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!!!

do not ever take prinsky !!!

This teacher has to be the worst teacher at ASU. Never ever EVER take this man for anything! He doesn't help you with anything and tells you to loojk up your mistakes which you have to get off of his web site. 50 pgs of noting but abreviations!

This is the worst professor in the history of professors. I used up most of the ink on my computer printing out his online documents finally decide that he I couldn't take anymore and DROPPED HIM!! DO NOT TAKE THIS MAN!!!!

His band(rumors) stink.DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS..

If you aree looking to pass with anything higher than a C ...Don't take Professor Prinsky. He is by far the worst professor that i have ever had. He stutters everytime he he attempts say something. He very critical and his jokes suck!!!

If you want to learn about Seoul, Korea, and Humanities, and Art History, and his year at Yale...Prof. Prinsky is the English Professor that you are looking for! He is very unorganized, and he can't even get a whole sentence out with saying,"uhhh&quo

NO NOT TAKE PRINSKY !!! Use your power as a consumer, if no one registers for his class he does not have one. This is a lousy professor. Save a tree, dont take this class and u wont need to print a book of crap daily for class

If your parents are on your back about sleeping too much and not taking enough hours in school, take this class. They'll be happy and thanks to the monotone in his voice you'll get to get your sleep in. But if you want to take it, I suggest caffine pills.

GPA sniper

The man is evil and cannot teach. He is unfair, and appears to prefer to to only have 10 people left in his class after midterm. Plus if you notice for online registration you will never see his name instead it will say "To be Announced". Never take this mans class.

Horrible! You can't understand a word he's saying! He talks fast, studders,and tries to talk above you! He is a very **** man, so if you are a very outspoken female...don't sign up for his class!

He is the wrose teacher ever. All he does is studder. He writes everything on the board and then talks to you. Very boring. Don't expect an A from him. Also if you are female he will never hear your answer and you are never better then amy guy in your class. Very ****!!! Don't take him!!

Oh Man !!! Worst class ever !! Dropped before midterm. Couldn't make anything above a 40 on quizzes and essays graded extremely hard !!! DO NOT TAKE !!!!

Professor Prinsky is a joke. Three years later he is getting the sane ratings. Why does he still have a job when 80% of his students drop before mid-term? Tree killer!!!

He is a really hard teaher. He doesnt teach well so I am not sur eif he should be called a teacher. He is very condiscending towoard the students. I am not sure how he still teaches. he is a stickler for grammer. No one got above a C on the papers we wrote. Very vague about what he wants.

Worst class I've ever taken!! Never take this man!!

Dear ASU, I am crying while I am writing this letter.Prinsky's class makes you ponder 101 ways to commit suicide.Every day is a new venture into hell. I made an A in 1101 and in his class I sat silently screaming in my head like a wild animal. If I wasn't clear enough so far, don't take his class. Oh, and I lost 13lbs in 5 weeks, all brain cells.

I had a nervous breakdown. But it wasn't in vain because I did in fact pass the class. If you'll excuse me, I must go take my medication now....

If you are trying to bring your GPA up do not take him. The things that he likes to talk about are his Asian wife and his music in the 60's.

Worst class i have ever attended. Ended up dropping. boring, talked about his music and band and the hit song they had. came to class and learned absolutely nothing. didn't teach anything. wasn't sure what the class was about.

professor prinsky was one of the most annoying and difficult teachers i have ever had. he would never give you a straight answer and never relly helped

Dr. Prinsky was unhelpful, rude and uncaring. I would NOT recommend him or his class.

Possibly the worst professor of all time. Avoid at all costs.

If you like Bob Dylan, Chinese women, and men that stutter, then this is the class for you. Prinsky was unclear, rude, and unwilling to help you, plus his comments and corrections on your papers have to be decoded from his online 28 page notes. Take someone Else!

This man should be institutionalized. He is absolutely insane. No student should have to endure this man's class. If you have any sense at all, stay away. Tenure should not mean anything. ASU needs to get rid of this man.

Dont put yourself through that type of torture.

This is the worst teacher that i have ever had. He isn't helpful, tells corny jokes. and thinks that he's a rock star. The first day of class we listen to an album that his "rock group" recorded in the 70's!!! He stutters, doesn't make any sense and neither do his quizzes. We had to write an 8 page analysis on poems that may have been 3-10 lines lo

First professor that made me hate something I love, literature. Extremely confusing, does not encourage creativity, seems to be dazzled by his own "brilliance". Doesn't seem to understand that noone is interested in the record he cut in the early 60s and certainly no one wants to hear about it endlessly. Do NOT take this professor.

To any one who will listen. This is not the professor you want to take at all for anything. No matter the subject. You will in all probability not do good in the class because he is a BAD TEACHER!! YOU WILL LEARN NOTHING!!! DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS ESPECIALLY, FRESHMAN COURSES.

Prinsky is probably the worst professor I have ever had! The 1102 research paper that you've heard so much about...he doesn't really mention, you just have to kind of figure it out...DO NOT TAKE HIM! If you want a kickass English professor take Sadenwasser.

WARNING!WARNING!WARNING!WARNING! DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. This class was horrible. He doesn't teach during class. All he talks about is his rock band in the 60's and how to make charts on Microsoft Word. His office hours are only for about 30 minutes a day and he won't help if you do talk to him.

This guy has got to be the worst professor I have ever had. He gives out assignements, but he never goes over them. He never gives grades back, and if he does, its like 2 months later. He is also very rude. Whatever you do, DON'T TAKE HIS CLASS!

He keeps saying "In your arts and humanities class.." and "looks like we have a sunday school emergency."Doesn't go over assignments, hand back papers or scantrons for quizes.

He was a terrible...duh..."Tr-...Tree Killer". He Studdered all the time. He never shut up about his dictionary collection. He is the reason why the book "101 WAYS TO KILL YOURSELF" was written. Avoid at all costs.

do not take this class.. EVER.

The class is very easy, all tests are on his webpage, however, my struggle was just sitting there listening to him babble on and ON and ONNN. He has a bad studdering problem which made things even harder. He was always gloating on his accomplishments in life, and that is all that matters.

If you dont care for the hope scholarship, take this class, its basically a given you will do horrible, due to his HORRIBLE teaching styles

Prinsky himself is a terrible professor, however the class isnt too bad. all of the tests are online and he answers a lot of the ?s in his notes that he provides the students. he is hard in that he has a lot of interpretative ?s and odd connections from one story to another that he expects you to know. if you can avoid, do.. if you cant, itll be ok

he makes no sense when he talks. and boy does he talk. what a rambler. he grades essays off of some random rubric he totally makes up. you'll never hear the end of his rock band days or his little euphamisms. the class is very pointless, because he does not get the 1102 requirements down. grades like you're taking an upper division class

Have I been dropping acid in this class? Ridiculous. I never have any idea what he is saying. I really love this subject, so I dropped, and will wait till fall again. He rambles nonsense. Always off subject and waits hours typing his lesson DURING class. By the way, did u know his wife is Korean? He'll bring it up in every class

The man is crazy. The class sucks. It's not about the work, it's the professor. He's the reason for online classes. Buy an lit book, teach yourself to and then one hour a day go sit in the psych ward at the VA. It'd be like taking Prinsky's 1102, only cheaper.

This man has something wrong with his brain. Adding together the facts that he was in a band in Cali during the 60's only further proves that he consumed too much acid. He goes on tangents that have lasted 20 mins, I kept track of the time. His directions are incoherent and insane.

Could on of the poorest jobs at attempting to teach I have ever seen. We counted in one class and he said uh 754 times. He goes off on random tangents all the time, and his grading is insanely hard. Anyway if you can avoid him take another humanities teacher...if not transfer to another school. He is that bad

Don't take him!!! He was the worst I've ever had. Had take home tests every other day. Stuck in the 60's with his band. You will read and learn a lot about Asian women from him. Everyone except 5 people failed his class and are in ENG 1102, now

no no no no no!

Do Not Take, this guy is too smart for his own good, he's all over the place during his lectures, which most of the time aren't relevant to the reading material, his notes for his weekly tests are incredibly ridiculous even the notes echo his irrelevant lectures, please avoid unless you love challenges....

Worst class i've been in at ASU, and it was alllll thanks to Prinsky's ridiculous take home tests that made my life hell in all my other classes. Don't take him!

AWFUL!!! DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!!!! save yourself ALOT of trouble and another year you'd have to retake it. TRUST ME. Why is he still teaching!!??

Atrocious. Incredibly difficult to follow, despite his ridiculous syllabus. Do yourself a favor and avoid him at all costs.

One of the worst professors I've ever had! He spends large amounts of class time talking about his lifetime accomplishment. He is incredibly hard to follow and his take home tests are impossible. He constantly changes his mind about when assignments will be due and which assignments will actually be turned in. I deeply regret not drop his class!

he was the suckiest teacher ever, point blank period. DONT TAKE HIM!!

Gave a 50 question test every week, and was completely rediculous, expected you to treat his class like it was your only one. And his tests were extremely hard.

Don't take him unless you want a professor who tells the entire class they are going to fail multiple times during one lecture. Talk about disheartening....

If you enjoy guessing what your professor wants you to write essays about, frequent and difficult 50+ question quizzes multiple times a week, vague directions, and never, ever getting grades back, then boy is this the guy for you! Prinsky is the most vague and self absorbed professor around. This man is aweful. Please do not take his class.

This guy is ridiculous. He lectures over the material for the quizzes after you take them, which are 2 quizzes a week. Don't expect to know what you have in his class until final grades are summited at the end of the semester. He expects you to fail, and he's not afraid to tell you. Do not take his class unless you intend on retaking the course.

Do not take this professor! You get grades for his many quizzes back sporadically and it takes him a month or more to grade essays. Don't expect to get a hard copy of your essays back, either. He will email you your grade along with codes you have to decipher instead of providing normal feedback. This man has single-handedly made me hate English.

I hated every damn second of this man's class. Worst professor ever. If you care about your GPA at all, avoid him at all costs.

he is awfulllllll. never ever ever ever ever ever ever EVER take him. VERY boring, VERY discouraging, VERY bad communication. he says "uh" like EVERY SECOND. please, please..don't take him.

worst. teacher. EVER.

32 pages of bad rates.. he deserves it. he CANNOT teach.

he thinks he's funny and he thinks everyone in the world should be PERFECT at english. he acts like it's humanities and he forces the Bible on you. the ONLY thing good about this guy is you can be late. buuuut you pay for it later. so it's pointless. don't take him!

don't do it! we had 33 people in our class at the beginning of the semester and we were left with 6. SIX. that's ridiculous. he's awful.

I can assure you that you will drop his class within ten days. He's beyond awful.

CAN YOU SAY AWFUL!?!?!?! don't waste your money or time on this guy... seriously.

If you are taking a full load, this class would not be a wise decision.
