He assigned a lot of readings and he is such a hard professor. Being your first year would not recommend. You will most likely fails in his class because he gives you a lot of quizzes and he calls you out if you didn't read. BEWARE

This professor, as head of the English department, acts as though he knows everything. He is very unhelpful and a tough grader, making it nearly impossible to earn an A on any paper. He grades students as if we were professionals in English. His feedback makes you feel like your writing is inadequate.

Although they're great at giving feedback 1 on 1 in my opinion he's too strict and is not very good at explaining for the class as he tends to go off topic a lot and expects more than what he teaches. Overall I would avoid this professor unless you favor going to office hours frequently during your free time good luck ;)

Very strict grader on essays. He has very particular wants but is not very clear about it. He failed my paper and when I followed up about it, he responded in a very condescending manner and made me feel like I was dumb. Would not recommend if English is not your strong suit. It's his way or the high way.

Professor Beehler is not a great professor. He is very strict since he is department chair. He expects students to get great scores on essays that are very hard topics. He wants students to attend office hours in order to pass his class. He is by far one of the worst professors here.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH HIM. He does not give any good feedback on your essays and only marks them without explanation so you dont even know what is wrong. He just assigns work and barley even teaches. If you want any feedback you have to go to his office hours and just for him to not really help at all but just criticize your mistakes.

Do not take his class. His grading is absolutely terrible, marks down on simple things. To get a better grade you need to rely on his office hours in which he gives you little to no feedback. Reported me to the council for using grammerly, i used resource to fix any mistakes made on the essay. I now am restricted for the entire year.

Overall, he's okay, but pretty apathetic and stern. Textbooks are definitely required. There are lots of pop quizzes and essays. He is a very tough grader. In order to potentially succeed in his class, you must attend his office hours to ensure that your essays are in good shape, because make-up work for any other assignment is NOT ACCEPTED.
