We learned many useful vocabularies. Mr. Randolph is a huge idiom guy, so we also learned useful ones for our one studies at UNL. He is caring and helps you if you want more, extra help. He is a unique teacher. I miss him.

Professor Randolph's humor made me want to attend his class. His humor was like a good cup of coffee. I want international students of English to know you will enjoy Mr. Patrick's class. He was always open to out-of-class-talks-with-students. Just ask and he help. I learned so much. I think he ought to teach more classes.

English 140 was a boring class. That is what you hear. But actually with Professor Randolph, it is one of the bests classes I've had at UNL. They should have him teaching more classes. He make all the lessons with a lot of energy.

You will learn very important vocabulary from Patrick. I still use what we learned and it make a huge difference in my academic work. He uses many new ideas for teaching. It's pretty cool.

International students should take Mr. Patrick for certain. You do no need to worry about boring books or boring lectures or boring homework. He makes his own things for his students. We loved him. His teaching is different. He cares a lot about his students. Thanks you, Mr. Patrick. Your vocabulary method is phenomenal.

Mr. Randolph's classes always made me think about positive things. He encouraged me more than any teacher I had. His teaching is special I think. No one is like him. He even makes most of his material and uses us in the examples. This makes students happy and we are interested in what he teaches. I think he ought to teach all wiring classes. yes.
