He is an "alright" teacher. Teaches straight out of the book, if you are interested in that. Sort of difficult on grading papers, majority of the students got B's on them. I would have prefferd a more hands on teacher topics are usualy dull.
teaches right from the book. kinda boring. he does answer your questions and papers are not hard and his grading seems to be easy. 3 papers graded. seems to be an easy class to pass. I also signed up for his comp 2 class
He is one of the best teachers i have ever had. The way he grades the papers are great. He wants all of his students to pass and he makes sure you understand all of the material.
This guy is the man. I love his class! I wish he taught more classes because he might be my favorite professor I have ever had. He grades papers super easy and his midterm and final are a joke. TAKE THIS CLASS YOU WONT REGRET IT!
I absolutely LOVE Professor Tanguay. His papers are super easy, midterm wasn't hard at all. Definitely take him if you want a breeze for a class!!
Professor Tanguay is probably the single greatest Professor at Edison State College. He's a very nice man who is interested in his students doing well. If you are willing to come to class, write around 5 papers the whole semester, and participate in "chat"-style discussions, you will do well. Even the less gifted students earned Bs.
Mr. Tanguay is a very kind man. His comp 1 class should be an easy A! Not too many papers assigned and his grading isn't hard at all.
Amazing professor he was very helpful and class is super laid back
He is a great professor. Extremely flexible; doesn't seem to care if you show up or not. Grades papers really easily, literally impossible to fail his class! Lectures are a little boring; all he does is read from the book. But he did bring movies to watch every week (which was something we would look forward to). His class is really an easy A!
Professor Tanguay's Comp II class was so easy. He reads information to the class out of the book and assigns interesting persuasive essays and you get to choose the topic. Only one research paper due towards the end of the semester and the midterm and final are easy if you come to class because he lets you know what is on it. Highly recommend
Awesome teacher. Very helpful and gives good feedback on your papers. This class is a breeze, as long as you turn in your papers you will get an A. Midterm and final are extremely easy!

Great professor! Very easy Composition class. He is a very easy grader. Just write the papers and come to class and you have an easy A.
Norman is by far my favorite professor I have ever had! His class was so easy and he has a great sense of humor! You don't even have to show up, all you have to do is turn in the 5 easy papers and you'll get an A! In class he read out of the books and showed movies...I strongly recommend him!!!
Great professor! Took him for Comp. 2 and the class was a breeze, there is about 4-5 papers but he is an easy grader and will give you a good grade if you honestly try, he is sweet and passionate about what he does. I would definitely take again!!
Easiest comp class . Few essays that were easy to write. One research one that took me a week and got an A. Take him for comp 2 believe me.
He was my favorite professor for composition. He was very light on his grading and was very helpful with feedback. He reads you what you need to know out of the handbook. You will watch about 3-4 movies in his class and his essays are short and simple, plus he gives you so much time to do them. Great professor!!
Professor Norman is the best would definitely recommend.
he was honestly one of the best professor I've had, reason I took him for comp.1 and comp.2. he is very laid back and understanding. He will give you very good feedback on your essays, and you don't have to write too many essays. He is the best!
Professor Tanguay is the best. I would definitely reccomend him for any English class.
Professor Tanguay is the best there is for english
Professor Norman Tanguay is a great and very understanding English teacher. You should take him if given the chance.
Great professor
Loved my class with him! The movies we watched in class were interesting as well. He teaches right out of the book, so the curriculum is very upfront. His essay assignments are thought-provoking, but vague and meant to be personalized. He also prepares the class for the midterm very well. He's very kind, helpful, and always cracking a joke!
Professor Tanguay is the best. This is his first semester teaching this class, so he is still learning the ropes around this course. You have 4 papers, a midterm and a final. If you ever have questions never hesitate to ask professor Tanguay explains things a different way if needed. Even if its through email, he gets back to you fast. Best ever.
Great Professor, humor which I found funny and i'm only 24. Lost of essays, so be prepared to write. He does lecture for most of the class but he encourages conversation and participation counts. He is an older gentleman so sometimes it was hard to understand what he was saying but you get used to it. show up, do the essays, you'll pass. Easy.
I love Professor Tanguay he is nice and he is not tough on grading. Only 5 papers all semester and he taught straight from the textbook which I liked. He also made his lectures interesting by cracking jokes here and there, he is a very nice gentlemen.
Such a nice guy. Expected the class to be so incredibly difficult but it wasn't at all. Really appreciated his humor and interest in our opinions
The class was so awesome with Tanguay. He does have an accent which makes it hard to understand what he is saying sometimes, but it is just 4 essays, a midterm, and a final. Easy A
AMAZING instructor. Love this guy
Professor Tanguay is the best. I took him for 3 classes. He is the best. If you want a sweet and understandomg professor Norman is the man. Although sit in the middle or front of the room because he is sometimes quiet.
Composition is LIT with tanguay. He is the best comp professor ever. I took him for Comp 1 and 2 and Intro to Lit. I wish he taught every class. He is the best FSW has to offer.
Solid choice
Amazing instructor. Highly recommend.
Amazing instructor. He does not use canvas. Although, he always has your grades recorded with him every time class is in session. All you need to do is ask. Also keep all of your papers in case a mistake is made. He gives great feedback on papers. And he always reminds you every class when a paper is due.
Great choice for an instructor.
Such a sweet man. He is such an easy professor. 3 or 4 papers. a mid term, and final. He is an easy grader. He also reminds you when a paper is due. He will even revise your papers if you ask. YOU NEED the textbook. He does not use canvas, but he always has your grade with him copied in his book, you just have to ask. Easy A. Highly reccomend.
He is an awesome teacher. 10/10 recommend. There's usually 3 or 4 papers which were really easy and I am not really the best writer. You won't regret taking him.
Awesome instructor. Easy A.
Amazing comp professor. Highly recommend.
Awesome teacher. You only have 3 or 4 papers. A midterm and final. If you ever have any questions about a paper, he is always there for clarification. He does not use canvas. Although he always has your grade with him posted in his book. SO keep all papers in case a mistake is made. He will even revise your paper if you ask. All around great class.
Professor Norman is amazing. Take him if given the chance. A professor like him comes once in a blue moon.
Fantastic instructor. Would take again in a heartbeat.
Great professor.
Awesome choice for comp. Very easy papers. A mid term and a final. He doesnt use canvas but always has your grade with him. He is also very understanding when you fall behind, and he will help if you ask. He will also revise your papers before you turn them in, if you ask. Awesome professor.
I loved professor Tanguay. He is the best comp professor out there. Very few papers, a mid term and a final. He is always there for you if you do not understand something, or if you need an extension. DO NOT take this professor for granted. A professor like Tanguay is once in a blue moon.
Awesome professor, highly recommend.
Phenomenal. Any class with Tanguay is amazing. Highly recommend

Fantastic course with Professor Tanguay.
Great class.
Very cheerful instructor.
Fantastic professor. Highly recommend.
Professor Tanguay is a good professor however he is an older man and his classes can be a bit dry or boring. The class overall is very (with emphasis) easy but I wouldn't take his class if literature is a true interest of yours. Class mostly consists of textbook readings and a few essays. Also midterm and final. 20 multiple choice.
Wonderful instructor.
Professor Tanguay is very likable. This is a very easy course, if you ever have any problems all you have to do is ask him for help. Highly recommend.
Very easy course.
Show up to class. Do well on the midterm and final. Do not slack off on the papers. They are very easy.
Awesome teacher for composition. Very easy course.

Fantastic professor. Very easy course.
Fantastic professor. I highly recommend professor Tanguay.
Awesome professor. Very easy class.
Tanguay is the best comp professor.
Awesome professor. 4 papers, easily graded. A midterm, and final.
Professor Tanguay is great and certainly has a sense of humor. I am taking him for comp 1. As long as you try at least a little, you'll pass. There are only four essays total and the midterm was easy. Only "bad" thing is, is it's difficult to hear if you sit in the back. He's quiet.
Really nice, and funny. 4 papers total given ample time to do. Pretty lenient grader. A grammar midterm with some vocab terms very easy and a very easy final with more grammar. Bring textbooks every class, he reads from them. Hands out a editorial for you to read and watch some good movies every class. Not sure if graded attendance.
He is not a difficult professor.
Amazing prof.
He is very amazing. He is very cool. I took him for Comp I and Comp II. Highly recommended. Bring your book with you.
I had this professor for Comp I he was very nice and very understanding. We only read the book for a couple weeks and the rest of the times we watched movies. His essay prompts are very interesting and easy such as a what if paper where you can write about anything
His class was the easiest A I have ever received however you do have to put up with his highly liberal opinions and lectures and all the mumbling. He reads from the textbook the whole class & I honestly have no idea what he's saying. He also doesn't put any grades/assignments in until the end. Super easy.
Professor Tanguay is great. Every class he reads out of both textbooks. He does mumble and speaks quietly so make sure you sit up front. Besides that, funny guy and easiest A you will get.
the best professor ever I can't wait to take him for comp 2
Easy class show up, pay attention, go to writing lab and good essays easy A
Good professor, taking him for comp 2.
If you hate writing, like me, and want an easy A this is your class. Tanguay was an awesome professor and hilarious. 4 easy papers through the semester, doesn't grade you based on organization, just grammar. Read from textbook every class and pay attention he uses info from the book in the midterm and final. Watched movies in class with spare time.
Enjoyed the class from start to finish. Very knowledgeable and material is very understandable due to his teaching methods.
Hilarious prof, super easy class. He is hard to understand at times but grades your papers super leniently compared to others. Watch movies in spare time, which is a lot. Solid choice! Seriously this is your guy, no other professor tops him, its usually a chill laid back class
This professor is really relaxed when it come to assignments and it do dates. Papers are allow to be late however a hard copy must be printed. There are six simple assignments as this is a easy A to pass. You can only fail if you dont turn in anything. Throughout this whole semester the lowest grade that someone got out the whole class is a B+.
Tanguay is the best professor or even teacher Ive ever had. Super laid back class and he is very traditional with the way he teaches. Almost makes you feel like you're in the 1970s or something. Took him for comp 1 and 2. Comp 2 had 4 paper and he is a very easy grader. Wish he taught more classes I needed.
Easiest class ever. He is very kind and understanding.
This was Comp 2 Essay. Professor Tanguay is a very easy professor for the bad writers. 3 short essays and one research paper. Attendance was graded and for class all we did was read from the book or read hand-outs.
Professor T. is honestly so amazing. He is understanding and is SO laid back. He is a part of the "baby-boomer" generation as he loves to put it, so he is a bit older and can be hard to hear at times so I recommend sitting in the front. As a dual-enrolled high school student, I was nervous choosing my professor but I have not regretted my choice
EASIEST CLASS EVER. Professor Tanguay loves his books and the class. he is very passionate. gives you so many chances to turn in essays and make up quizzes. book is only needed for essays but you can borrow a text book. ESAY A. basically come to class sit, listen and leave.
Professor Tanguay is FANTASTIC! At first it may be hard to understand him, but you get used to his accent. If you plan on talking to him be ready to shout, he's very hard of hearing. I wish I had him again this semester, such an easy A and so chill. Be ready for his crazy jokes and very old movies.
Only 4 Essays the whole entire semester, which were each only a couple pages. Tanguay is a great professor, whom is very lenient on deadlines and understanding. If you are looking for an easy but informative class this is the one. Even as an 8:00 am class it was still enjoyable and never stressful.
The BEST!! Literally all I had to do was show up and read the the book and then the rest of the class we watched a movie! Get ready for old jokes! He grades papers super easily!! I personally didnt try to hard and I got an A on every paper, the people who tried super hard got a B on the papers. weird. Midterm and Final is super easy, I got 100s!
Professor Tanguay is the most laid back professor that exists. This class was easier than any class I have ever taken, even easier than most high school classes. He will read out of the text book for 20 minutes and then put on a movie for another 20 minutes each day. He let our class out 30+ minutes early almost every day. He is the best.
Took him in 2016 he was amazing. Hes such a sweet man and enjoys students and literature. Easy papers and barely any homework. He was awesome.
He was really cool he told a lot of jokes and we only had 4 essays and a final exam that was it! Also he let us leave class early, definitely take this class for a easy A!
You only have a few chances to earn your grades in this class, so better not mess up on any of the papers. He's a tough grader, but it would be easier to know what to do to earn a good grade if he spent more time explaining things in class instead of him trying to get out the door a half hour early from every class. C'mon, teach already!
I had to drop this guy's class. Theh amont of homework he gives but then you only earn most of your points from just a few papers. I coudn't keep up his class was so hard. I took a different professor the next time and I got an A in her class.
This class was so hard that I ended up having to take Comp I over again with another professor (which went much better). You get so few chances to earn your points the way this professor has things set up, so if you mess up on just one paper, your grade is sunk for the semester.
