He is easy as long as you do all his work. Reading homework, 1 book &reading journals, essays, lots of quizzes, funny, some extra credit.

This class isnt easy. His gradings are hard. But i love this class cause i learned a lot from it.

His class is easy as long as you do all the readings, attend all the lectures, do all your homework, and go with the flow... He's a pretty fun guy.

He made me laugh, and made class interesting

The work is NOT hard, though there is a bit. Stay on top of things, and the semester won't be a pain. Really fun and interesting. Great book. I highly recommend taking the writing lab in conjunction with this class, because he'll help you personally there with your papers! He wont do it for you, but he helps! It isn't hard to get an A, just work.

English is one of my weak points, but he makes the class and classwork straightforward and easy. I recommend taking this as an in-between class because there is classwork everyday (but it is VERY easy). Work is distributed evenly in VERY VERY manageable loads. Gives 25 extra credit assignment and allows you to rewrite 1 of 4 1000 word papers.

Mr. Hom is the BEST! Great teacher!

he is the most awesom teacher ever! Makes class real fun

Awesome teacher, funny guy, quite a bit of work, but he gives you a full schedule, and if you stay on top of your essay writing its easy, plus he goes over everything your supposed to write about, TAKE HIM!!!

Mr. Norman (like I call him) is one of those teachers that you learn to love. His very best quality is his teaching style--Crystal Clear! He has an eduacated sense of humor. I wouldn't really get the jokes in class, but later I would be laughing my head off, around my midnight. Love you Mr.Hom.

Best teacher i have had so far at CRC. A good amount of work, but plenty of time to complete. Hes also cool about occasional absences. Also, he only promised 1 xtra cred opprotunity, but gave us 2 towards the end of semester. unbelieveable amount of points given for those.Awesome Teacher and hilarious at times.

Excellent teacher. Fun and easy. Loved it.

Excellent teacher. Fun class. Funny guy. I got an A. He likes to crack jokes and he's very nice.

Excellent Teacher. He is one of the best teachers that I have had at CRC. Everything from his personality to his teaching is awsome. He is one of those teachers that you actually want to go to. I would recommend him for any English class that he teaches.

He is so funny, fair and kind.

My favorite prof. Hom is a hard working and honest teacher. He has a great personality, and he is a wonderful teacher. I love the way he teaches. Even if you don't want to learn something, he will make you learn that.

I think he works part time at best buy. I know his brother too.

loves to pick favorites!grades hard.Gives Alot of Homework. Assigns a reasonable amount of reading every week. Doesnt really care about helping you unless he likes you. DO NOT TAKE HIM.

Not too easy, not too hard. do your work and essays. He'll pick on you to answer questions, so be prepared to be asked at anytime. He's an okay teacher.

Tough but fair. Hom will challenge you to be a better writer. Class participation is a must as well. Great teacher, I loved his class.

Hom is Kool! Bright, Funny, Nice person. He is always willing to help a student. Class is no walk in the park. I'm glad I had him. He taught me alot. Go Homie!!!!

Hes a great teacher! Very helpful. COme to class or you will miss alot. You need to read the textbooks cause he when you walk in you get a pop quiz on the reading. Be prepared!!! Just do homework and essays and you pass with flying colors...

Amazing teacher. Witty, interesting. House of Mirth was an amazing book, and the discussions on the book help you for your final essay. Just do your work on time, and try, and you'll pass. Essays were very fun to write. He is also very funny.

Mr Hom is a GREAT teacher. The first day I wanted to drop his class because he is very strict, but if you stick with his class you'll learn a lot. Attendance is very important, but if you're putting your best foot forward, you'll pass. Mr. Hom also makes the class fun, my class was 2 hours!! and it went by fast.

hom is very clear in his instructions and teachings.

Mr Hom Is very structured. He assigned quizzes to make sure you are reading your text book and Liturature book.Soif there is a large reading assignment you willmost likely have a journal and a quizon it. Quizes are fairly easy if you read ! Also there are 5 papers and you get credit for peer editing. Easy class if you work and read

Very clear syllabus. He does not give grades away. You must keep up with your reading and writing assignments or you will fall WAY behind. Clear outcomes stated great professor.

Mr.Hom's lecture are very well follow if you listen, there is not much confusion, but he'll give you examples if you dont get something he is teaching, overall great teacher and easy to follow.

Very hard class. Lots of reading and homework. If you don't like to work hard then do not take him. Grades are well earned. Don't miss class and buy all the textbooks. Take notes and pay attention. Very funny guy, but shows no mercy towards slackers.

Excellent professor! He expects great things from his students. If you aren't willing to step up and work hard, avoid Hom, but if you want a challenge and want to walk away having learned something, this is the teacher to take!

At first, you'll probabldy drop his class. But he's a really good english professor. Just come to class ready for quizzes based on assign material. Grades are earned. Funny guy, he makes class fun and interesting. Take him!

GREAT TEACHER. SECOND TIME TAKING HIM. FUNNY TEACHER. YOU HAVE TO DO THE WORK TO EARN THE GRADE YOU WANT. VERY HELPFUL, WILLINGLY TO HELP IF YOU ASK THE ?. CLASS IS MANDATORY!!!

Awesome teacher!! Took him for 101 and 302 wish I'd taken him for 300 as well but there was a schedule conflict. Anyhow Mr. Hom was great his essay prompts are very interesting, he's funny, nice and really cares about his students. Take him if you have the chance you'll learn a lot and have a lot of fun! He rules!!!

Good teacher, really helpful. You do have to attend every class which isn't fun, but his discussions are good. Lots of quizzes and homework. You'll probably want to drop the class the first day, but stick with it and its not so terrible. P.S. Don't walk in front of him while hes talking.. eek.

You've gotta love the guy!!! He's pretty cool and the assignment he gives are pretty reasonable and sometimes fun. There's nothing else more you can expect from taking ENGWR 300.

Just have keep up with your readings and writing. He is a cool guy. I had a good time. You probably will too. You will learn how to write better if you care.

He's a really nice teacher who acts like a an army commander in the beginning. There's a lot of work like reading and writing essays..but he's helpful if you talk to him. DO ALL THE WORK N YOU WILL DEF PASS!!!! I did all the work, went to class everyday n got an A!! O btw..he's strict when it comes to manners..so be polite haha

very funny! nice teacher! easy class! just do everything and you're okay! Nice Hair! Nice humor (offsets the strict atmosphere)! recommend the dude!

he is a fun guy who is very entertaining. he teaches well and keep you involved. just do the work and participate and you can get an A-B in this class

Hom is cool. Do the work and you will be successful in his class.

Awesome teacher! I had him for my eight weeks course so everything went by so fast! Do all your work and you'll most likely get an easy A or B. But yeah, when writing journals it's best to go above and beyond the one page minimum writing more about your reflection to the book. He's a great teacher! I learned a lot! TAKE HIM! =)

Mr.Hom is the best! I loved his class, he is so funny and smart. I loved the novel we read in his class also. Mr.Hom is very easy to understand, I always knew exactly what I was doing and always received a good grade on my essays, I believe he is a very fair grader. He has a heavy work load, but its not hard, and definitely do-able.

Cool teacher, but kind of arrogant about it. He actually tells you how cool he is, which makes me a bit less cool. If he was more humble about it he'd be awesome. In any case, he is great at his job. He teaches very well and is open to new opinions and understands that his opinions and views isn't necessarily the right answer. I'd recommend him.

Great Teacher went beyond the call of duty Will help you outside of classroom hours

he has attitude which is hilarious. he gives out paper after paper which is exhausting. you have to read a book and do journals and take quizes on it. you will have a ten page paper due at the end of the course. make sure u dont wait until the last moment to do it. good luck

My favorite English teacher of all time! I took him for 300 (8 week class) and 301 and I really enjoyed both of them. Attendance it mandatory and he does give a lot of assignments. However all of the work pays off. You learn a ton! and I was able to pull off A's both semesters. Not only is Mr. Hom a great teacher, he is hilarious. TAKE HIM!

By the time you're in English 300, you should know how to write. He didn't exactly taught much, but he was fun and cool. He assigns a lot of work, but they were to help stuents get an idea on the upcoming paper. Quite a lot of writing, but he lets you revise two of your papers for a better grade. Overall not too difficult

Fun teacher. Did a lot of reading (he assigns a book for the semester). He's very fair, he always seemed to know when I didn't try my best; that's when he would push/encourage me to do my best. He made the class fun. Sit in the front... best view in the house;D

Took him last semester. he does assign a lot of essays but it is a writing class, so I can't complain there. He makes it clear what it is that he is looking for. So long as you are on time, present and do the work there is no problem. I earned and deserved the grade I got. not what I wanted but I deserve it. I passed with a C.

"Hom's the bomb". I loved his detective stories; think it was Dr. Haligen lol. I enjoyed his presence; he's a great guy. As others mention, be nice and he'll be nice. VERY smart professor. He knows everything! Very geeky indeed. Class is challenging, but not impossible.

Lol! This class was hilarious. Makes weird but funny jokes. Do the work and you'll pass. A lot of writing and reading but not impossible to do. Gives out a guideline for every essay so pay attention to the guideline.

Humorous professor and at the right college level course. I received an A. There are 7 essays, only need to read one book which is your last essay assignment, attendance is mandatory, and you get one essay rewrite. Honestly, this class is pretty easy as long as you do the work and come to class. Prof Hom is very clear in lectures and what he wants.

Humorous teacher made class interesting. Very clear in lectures and in assignments. 7 essays (2 are in class), read only 1 book House of Mirth which is last essay assignment, easy pop quizzes, and fun class. Attendance is mandatory. We had a potluck on finals day and did an easy finals assignment. Received an A in the class.

Class was fun. Professor Hom was very infromative in what he expected from the class and students. For my class, there was 5 major essay, 5 in-class essay, 1 research paper, and a lot of weekly journals from the textbooks. There were daily quizzes on readings. Easy A if you do all the work and show up to class. One good advice is to take notes.

Professor Hom seems like a decent teacher. I have no interest in the subject, but makes class enjoyable. Easy as long as you put in the effort. Exams require good memory, but still fairly easy. Don't come to class late, and show some respect or he'll light you up. I love Hom - in a non-sexual way.

He loves giving pop quizzes. A lot of people would had higher grades if it wasn't for the quizzes. Don't come in late! He hates that! Do the journals, write the three papers he assigns and do the group project. The test are decent. Come to class you'll pass type of thing. He makes lectures interesting

As long as you read the book and do all the work, you should be able to pass the class easily. There were five essays in this semester and one major essay. Quizzes after each reading and no tests. Take his class if you are comfortable with writing essays and reading books then having discussions in class. A very nice and funny professor!

With English as my second language, I was not interested in writing or English at all until I take Professor Hom. He is very cool and understanding. If you keep up with the readings and do your journals correctly the class should be easy. The essay requirements are easy to follow (you know what to do) and he helps during his office hour.

Hom is a great guy and super funny. Took his class for 300 and 302. He is a no nonesse guy when it comes to turning in assignments. Overall do the work, pass the class

The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth. Take the class and you'll understand.

I love Professor Hom! He's relatable and extremely funny. His lectures are easy and clear. He wants everyone to pass and encourages students to participate. Show up to class on time! Only downside is he doesn't use any online grading site such as D2L. He does give out progress reports so we know our grade. He also gives back papers quickly!

Hom is the bomb. This is my second class with him and he really is. Read, do the journal, show up, participate, take note of specific things he points out or goes over because it may be on the 10 question midterm thing that goes along with the in class essay and it's really emotionally crippling to miss those questions. He doesnt like poetry.

Professor Hom is simply amazing! He is very caring and wants all his students to pass. Although he may come off as a guy with an attitude, he is quite hilarious and inspirational. The only thing I would recommend is read the textbook for future quizzes.

Professor Hom is hilarious and he's very helpful. He'll push you, but in a nice way. There's a presentation and groups each week and you'll switch your group for a few weeks, too. Not too much work and light reading. The assignments are clear and the exams are not too hard. You get a few topics to choose from, a total of four papers for the course.

At the beginning of this class I was pretty intimidated by Hom because he can come off as rude. Class consists of discussions based on readings and requires participation. Tells you exactly what he wants and is available for help. Class is not hard but there is a lot of readings that I found to be quite enjoyable. Also a fun final!

This was a very straight forward class. Hom gives you all the tools you need to be successful. Class consists of 7 essays ( 2 in class, 5 out of class), read one novel (last essay), journals, and some in class quizzes. Basically, show up and do your work and you'll do fine.

Tough but hilarious, do you work, put in the time and you will do good.

Amazing professor, scary at first but its his brutal honesty, it wont kill ya. Great readings, lively lectures, he answers questions, isnt judgey, is a tough grader but not excessively rigid. 4 major essays + 4 major exams + pop quizzes... and a lot of fun in between. Just do yourself a favor and take Hom.

Professor Hom is a smart, fair and a generous teacher. He will come across as being harsh and rigid. But, his caring at the same time. He will make sure you work to earn your grade. This class is definitely passable. One can even get an A only if he/she reads and completes all assignments. I Would recommend ESL or non English speakers to take him.

Hom was the perfect representation of a sarcastic and witty english professor. If you miss a few journals and fail some quizzes you still have a chance with passing with an A! Easy grading and very understanding. The final is a weighted group final so make friends! I... I have regrets...

Despite having a tendency to ALWAYS mention that he's from Stockton, Hom always cracked me up with how honest and witty he was with his students. Literally, just do the work and show up to class and you'll be fine. His expectations aren't very far-fetched. All I'm gonna say is real recognize real, so being on his good side helps. Idk about the bad.

I loved Professor Hom. Hes actually a very funny person and tells it how it is. Hes a fair grader and easy to get ahold of after class hours. Just show up and participate and do all the journals and youll get an easy A or B.

He's a good teacher but I difficult to stay alert during class. We read a lot so it was kind of boring and if you get caught sleeping or being disrespectful he may send you out; it only happened once. You have these journals where will need to do five from each chapter, one each day. Just be prepared for lots of reading and writing.

idk what ppl are on about with there not being clear grading criteria with Hom - he gives a rubric with what he expects to see on essays and "writes anything important" on the board. i have yet to disagree with his grading, when i turn in something sloppy, i expect a sloppy grade. when i turn in an essay im proud of, it shows. keep it up, Hom :)

He's a good professor. He allows rewrites on essays you fail. He gives good feed backs on papers. Really utilize the rough draft workshops and feel free to ask any questions. Just beware that if it's a stupid question he's not afraid to tell you that your question was dumb. Do your work correctly and you'll pass with an A easily.

Took him for summer during COVID. I think the reason I struggled was because I was in more than one class. Gave 4 essays (1000wd) a total of 15 (250wrd) journal, quizzes have VERY short time limits, 4 tests total including final. I think that if he was my only class or if I wasnt on the summer time limit I wouldve easily got an A. Not a bad pick.

Also the work is due on tues & fri at midnight, includes disc. posts and journals. Important to remember you actually have to read the textbook before, because youre talking about the reading. Tests will ask very specific questions that you wont know if you didnt actually read!!! And you dont have alot of time to think or look back in the book.

Professor Hom is truly one of my favorite teachers I have had, and I'm not even a big fan of school. If you put in the effort and do your best, it will pay off. The class itself isn't too hard. He is very caring, and is flexible with due dates. He is a very nice teacher and I really enjoyed the things we read. I would totally take his class again.

People have been giving him poor ratings recently I believe out of exhaustion for school rather than actual difficulty with him. Yes, he does grade fairly difficultly, however his overall class had a clear setup & was easy to follow. Work was consistent & easy, & his directions were clear. As long as you keep up with his announcements you'l do well

Professor Hom is very kind, he accepted my presentation late although he says he doesnt on the syllabus. The class consists of 3 papers and 1 research paper + presentation, 3 exams and 1 final, and 15 total writing journals. This class is NOT easy, you will probably only do well if you are already a strong writer. If not, choose someone else plz.

I took Hom's class asynchronously. The book we read (The House of Mirth) was kinda boring but that's just my taste. Hom has a sense of humor but still looks at your work in a serious manner. I feel like he ran the class well. He sent out announcements of when the next HW was due and made expectations clear. Takes very long to grade essays though

Wrote a 1-2 page journal for every assignment. Often did a discussion board with it as well, responding was optional. You will end up doing around 35+ journals and over 40+ discussion boards which is a lot but the grading criteria on these is extremely lax meaning no word count. Prof. Hom is a solid choice but it's not a total cakewalk.

He's a great professor. I especially enjoyed reading and writing about our assigned texts, even if it was a lot of work. He leaves thoughtful feedback on every submission. He's pretty funny, too. Definitely recommend him if you care about literature.

We had to read The House of Mirth and had weekly discussions/mini quizzes/journals of the book. There were 4 argumentative essays we had to write. His canvas was organized, responded to emails quickly, and was very helpful. He allows students to rewrite ONE essay. Does not allow late work. Don't procrastinate or you will fall behind. Good class

Professor Hom was a good professor who was clear about what he wanted from you. Though there was a lot of homework and work in general and he expected you to participate at a high level, he was fair with his grading and there weren't too many papers, just the average 4. He was a funny professor, and I would take his class again.

He was very strict on late work and wouldn't accept any no matter what. He was understanding though and nice. The book we had to read was decent. There was a good amount of homework but nothing too much. The class is very essay heavy though and the essays are argumentative so don't take him if you don't like arguing. He gives really good feedback.

He is a great professor, and give you great feedback to help you earn higher score. If you go to LRC for the room named Writing and Reading Resource Center, they can help you. You will super easy to pass his class. Also, you can revise one of the essays based on which one is the lowest.

Professor Hom's class was difficult at times but he's too cool to criticize anything else. It was a bit hilarious to see himself attribute his more goofy side to his hometown of Stockton. I will say, you can get on his good side early on by participating frequently (right or wrong), he will take a liking to you, which will help big in the long run.

Took it during summer online, was never a big fan of literature and poems, but taking this class made me realized how much I was missing out on it. A lot of analyzing (easy though), journals, and writing. I enjoyed taking this class and the work that came with it.
