Really great teacher! He wasn't too hard, but definitely provided a challenge. He was always willing to help correct essays, and encouraged multiple drafts. We didn't use the book all that much, but it is actually very useful, and I decided to keep it instead of sell it after. I had fun with 4 essays we were required to do for the semester.
Professor took a bring subject and made it funny and interesting. He really cares about who is attending and how you are doing.
Peter is a great teacher. He was extemely helpful throughout the whole semester and you could tell that he wanted his students to succeed. He encouraged everyone to submit mutiple drafts just so he could help. Overall, he was fair in grading and the a good grade was very achievable with hard work.
Peter was by far one of the better teachers that i have had. I wish he taught comp.2 because i would have taken that with him. He made going to class enjoyable. Like the other comments he really wants to help his students pass.
good teaching method
Hes a true greek. He loves rough draftsssss the more you do the better your grade. He thinks his very funny (I laugh cause his jokes are not funny). The class is not too hard not too easy. Open book tests. Easy topics for essays. attendance matters for the most part. He's nice kidney funny. love -haleigh and nikki <3
I found that this professor was very helpful in teaching the basics to all types of essay writing. It was my personal favorite class out of the 4 that I was taking. I looked forward to going to every class.
He's on of the best writing teachers I've ever had. I have taken comp two times prior and dropped it halfway through each time. He's the only teacher that appreciated my odd writing style. He has a great teaching style, he and the class annotate your drafts, for a better understanding of what to do for your final. I will take a class with him again
Peter is an absolutely great professor. I took two summer classes and he blew my other professor out of the water. His material is super interesting and he really knows his stuff.His fascination with Jack Kerouac is interesting too.. I would take another class from him. He really is a great teacher.
Really passionate about teaching. He is a a teacher at heart and really loves what he is doing. He comes to class to help every student learn. But, you get what you give to the class. If you do the work, and the reading (its ALOT) but if you think you could swing it and get and easy A youre wrong. I would recommend him.
I came into the class hating Composition, and English class in general, but left with more than I expected. If you read the material and come prepared to discuss, you'll get an A. It's not a class for the timid. He tries to get students to think deeply about the topics, and as long as people are open to learning it works.
I was dreading this class because I can't stand english but Peter made it painless and actually engaging. I looked forward to class and wish that I could take another class with him. He is very animated and excited about the topic which only serves to draw you in more. He's very inspiring! You won't regret taking a class wit him! Awesome!
Gives positive feedback even if your paper sucks, and will give advice for next paper. i liked learning about the beat generation.
Excellent class ....eye opener for me. Would take another Class from Instructor
Instructor Eliopoulos (He didn't like to be called Professor) was one of the best professors I ever had. He was kind, amusing and instructive. His understanding of writing in general was so impressive to me, I think I learned more from him in a few classes than any teacher over years of schooling. He re-birthed my love of writing.
Great teacher I learned a lot and the class was very fun. One of the best teachers I have ever had
HES A GOOD GUY
very good class, would take anther class from him again.
Very good class! Peter was an awesome teacher and I really believe that I learned a great deal!
Very excellent teacher. Best I've ever had. He pushed my limits and made me the better writer I am today. I can safely say without him I would not have the job as a journalist that I have today working for Time Magazine. If I could I would vote him Time's Man of The Year! -Tucker
very understanding teacher. makes class fun!
He is a great teacher. He made everything very clear and easy to understand. There was always times for questions. I would deffinatly take another course he teaches.
Professor Eliopoulos is a great teacher, really understanding, and makes class very entertaining. I would for sure recommend taking a class with him.
Peter made learning how to properly write and compose essays interesting, he made class enjoyable by teaching in the manner of personal attention to detail.
Peter is awesome!!!
Really good class, easy to work with and material is interesting even for those who don't particularly like writing.
loud, good guy
Great professor. He was very clear and always offered help.
Awesome teacher. makes english real to my and i find his classes and literary text books helpful and ones i will keep for my life. Help me engage in reading and wanting to keep my eyes open for more great authors.
He really enjoys teaching, you can tell by his passion and he understands his students. Awesome class.
Instructor Eliopoulos has made my time at North Shore worthwhile. His cultrual and literary insight is so massive that I feel every conversation with him to be immensely helpful. I would take a course with him six hours away and never miss a class.
Peter was not only a great professor all around, but he taught me a few great lessons that I will never forget. Writing is not all about the grade, it's the ability to express your thoughts freely and beable to share your ideas with other people without fear of contradiction. Peter is a 10/10 intructor!
Passionate about the thing we call life, great man
good man
Great guy with a real sense of humor! Always gives you positive feedback on your papers and what to work on. He is also quick to e-mail you back if you have any questions!
Somewhat difficult class with a lot of work. Likes to hear himself talk but very fair and interisting. Good professor
the best professor i've ever had, he's a damn good teacher
Good teacher
Great professor i would take another class from him again
Great professor, only had to write 3 papers and a few short quizzes.Also, weekly journal entries. No tests. Attendance is mandatory though. I would take another class with him
Great teacher
Prof. Eliopoulos is easily the most inspiring, relatable, and efficient teacher I've had at NSCC. I hated English from k-12, somehow he had me excited for class every tues/ thurs. If another Composition class fit into my degree, I'd take another Prof. Eliopoulos class without a doubt
I came into the course with no real expectations; just another class to knock off the list. Surprisingly, the class grabbed my attention, and the content was fluid throughout the semester. I would most definitely take another class with this professor. It wasn't a necessarily difficult class, as it was taught well, but typing his name isn't fun.
he is a good teacher
He is very thorough in all of his lessons. He is very helpful, and efficient. He goes above and beyond as a teacher, and I appreciate his hard work.
I usually find anything english/composition fairly easy because it's not difficult to be interested in topics, but Peter definitely challenged me. Good experience.
He cares about quality and accuracy to the assignment. Has helped me bring my work up to the next level.
He tends to go off on tangents, but the tangents are always funny and end up being relevant and having a point. As a general rule, he is a really laid back and cool teacher who tries to help out as best as he can
Peter is someone who is passionate about Literature.I am glad I took his course, Ive learned so much. Hes a great teacher.
Explains things thoroughly.
Peter is an awesome teacher. He is very clear with his expectations and attendance is mandatory. He uses the textbook during every class so be sure to bring it. Overall he is an easy teacher and as long as you do your work you should get an A.
This class is great. I wish I had been taught this information before. The structure to the class and the flow to the semester is great. The information I;m learning I can apply to my other college classes as well as other writing assignments I'll have in my career.
Peter is a great teacher, and is passionate about writing, Im glad I took his course
Mr. Eliopoulos is very enthusiastic about his teachings. He constantly engages with the class which I find astounding. I would highly recommend other students to take a class with him if they ever get the chance. Much better instructor then my previous ones teaching at Bunker Hill Community College!!
This class is great. I wish I had been taught this information before. The structure to the class and the flow to the semester is great. The information I'm learning I can apply to my other college classes as well as other writing assignments I'll have in my career.
Attendance policy was kind of inconvenient, but over all good teacher
Good teacher that really helps try to improve your writing and critical understanding of literature
Strict with attendance but always there to answer questions. Made sure to make participation important.
This professor was very helpful and didnt give too much work but one thing I didnt like was how he made participation mandatory.
The class was good.
I would take a class with this prof again. No presentations!!!! Total of 3 essays which arent hard. He is also understanding and emails back fast. Only homeworks you get are to read and the essays. PARTICIPATION IS KEY TO THIS CLASS.
Very engaged with students. Full of energy and enthusiasm. Over all a great class and excellent teacher.
This class is pretty straight forward. He's very clear on what needs to be done to get a good grade in the class. In my opinion, I am not a very big fan of literature but if you are then you will like this class a lot. The easiness is average. If you do the work and stay with the syllabus you will earn a good grade.
This professor is good at what he teaches.
Mr. Eliopoulos is a very helpful, clear and interactive teacher. He makes sure all the literature is well understood and encourages class debates. Very lenient and understanding. Going to class is mandatory and the book is mandatory.
Professor was really helpful in my writing and my reading. He had everyone participate even though some people didn'd read a story. I really enjoyed his class and wish him the best.
Mr. Eliopoulos is a great teacher. I found this class very useful and informative.
The class was very enjoyable and interesting. It is clear the professor is passionate about literature and he instills the same passion in his students.
Professor is passionate about subject. Syllabus is spot on. You need to attend class to succeed! He is adament about class participation. I thoroughly enjoyed this class, even though I did think it possible.
Peter Eliopoulos is a great teacher. He cares a lot about his students and strives them to do well in his class. When needing help on a paper or any assaignments, he is always there to help and gives great feedback. I recommend other students to take this class with this professor!
A good and clear class, easy assignments.
Professor Eliopoulos is an excellent teacher. He really encourages all students and challenges them with their writing. Attendence is mandatory. I would recommend other students to take this class with him.
I do NOT like english classes, and Peter made this more than tolerable. A class that usually gives me so much anxiety was straightforward to take. He is super helpful, outgoing, and makes classes fun (but you have to attend!) Go to all the classes and you'll get a good grade. He is very fair and enthusiastic about teaching.
This class has taught me alot. He goes out of his way to help you and make sure you understand everything. He makes the class fun with his humor.
The professor was very helpful. I learned a great deal about literature and dramatic works. I enjoyed this class and continuing my education.
He is a great teacher to learn from. He is very knowledgable, interesting, and relatable.
I have never really tried in school simply because I never really enjoyed it. Mr. E changed all of that, he is a great guy and loves to promote arguments and keep the class interesting and fun. Hands down one of my favorite teachers.
Great teacher, funny and enthusiastic.
He's a funny guy Really down to earth If there's a problem let him know he will do what he can to fix it
He isn't a bad professor. I would take another class taught by him.
He was a great teacher, funny guy, good personality. He wants his students to succeed and does his best to work with you to accomplish that goal. Probably the best english teacher I have had.
Very funny guy
Good work.
He was very direct when explaining things, made you work for the grade, but overall was a pleasure to learn from
Not boring, but not easy. If you put your effort in you will do well. Fair grading. I'd take this class for fun, but I also needed it. He is really nice and wants to help students who want to help themselves. I'd recommend him strongly.
Peters class was interesting. I really did enjoy his class and way of teaching. We did a lot of essays but he is constantly letting us email him and he will edit our essays which was a HUGE help. My only complaint was that the book was mandatory and although we did use it, not as often as I thought we would of. overall a great professor
This class was better than my other comp class at my old college. I am passing this class much easier than my other.
The class was hard but reasonable
The class will teach you how to write a paper. I liked the participation within the class. Emailing the professor will help you write a better paper
Took Compo I. He is really helpfull, but expect a lot of work. You basically will have to write a 5 pages essay and a two pages journal every week.
I certainly learned many things from this class, which is what you want out of a college course that you're paying for right? I think so. The grading in my eyes was a little tough for a community college course but it made you work harder, so in the end, it's a good thing I guess. Peter was a helpful teacher and gives great feedback.
The professor was so inspired by the material that he makes you want to major in it. Attendance is a must but his lectures help a lot with the essays. Speak up and you will have fun. Great teacher !!
This class was great. His assignments are relatable so it makes it easier to understand the material. Show up and participate and you'll pass guaranteed. He's funny and entertain-able which makes the class fly by. Easy quizzes and tests. High recommend taking his classes.
Great teacher. Very helpful and understanding. Material was difficult but the professor explained it until you understood the material. Well def take his class again.
even if you are really sick and have a doctors note he will not accept it. He is really really harsh on his students, if you don't do things his way then forget it he bashes on you in front of the class!
Peter Eliopoulos is one of the best professors I met during my school years at NSCC. He has great sense of humor; also a quick thinking professor. He listens to his students and gives everyone a chance to express their point of view. I seldom read before I attended the class, but now I found the fun of reading. I am so glad I took the class.
3 papers due per semester 3 to 5 pages. You have to show up for class. Class participation is a must. Send in drafts ASAP if you want a better grade on your papers. Very passionate about teaching. Reply to emails.
This was my second semester taking a class with Mr. E and I liked him a lot in the first class but this short story class was awesome. I really enjoyed it and I would recommend it to anyone.
Professor Petr was very interactive with the class, helped us understand everything and made us learned what we needed. He was very knowledgeable and experience in everything that he taught us. I recommend him and would love to take another class with him in the future.
Absolutely amazing professor. He is hilarious and so good and fair to every student. Truly cares about how you are doing and wants to see you succeed. Absolutely loved him!! So inspirational and an absolute genius. I would recommend him to anyone!!!
My favorite class of the semester. He really cares about his students. Offers great feedback and is encouraging. Show up and pass in your drafts and it's impossible to do bad. Answers emails within 24 hours. Grades and hands back work in a timely manner. Doesn't use blackboard. textbook is REQUIRED. Would highly recommend this professor. no tests.
great guy
He makes every story you read fun to talk about. This is coming from someone who doesn't read on their free time!
He is an amazing teacher
He is a wonderful teacher, be prepared to write and participate. Attendance is mandatory, but he is understanding in a pinch. Be yourself and write for yourself, not what you think he wants you to write about.
Awesome professor !!!
Peter will challenge you in positive ways. You will love his class, his passion. His zeal to appeal to a diverse student audience is awesome! Yes, attendance is really important, but he understands that we all have lives and to be honest, when I had to miss class, I really couldn't be there, but I wish I could have been. His expectations are clear.
Awesome Professor and person in general, quick and detailed feedback. Encourages creativity which makes for an excellent class. 10/10
Awesome teacher, he made class something I looked forward to. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a change of pace from your everyday English class.
Had a blast in this class. Great discussion, great teacher. Show up do the work and he makes it impossible to fail. Always has great feed-back and great shoes
Peter is the man. Great guy and wants the best for you. Show up and be excited for his class because theres only good to gain.
Great class!
Peter truly loves teaching, and makes it apparent to his students how much he cares. Keep an open mind and listen to his tangents, and you will do just fine in his classes.
Mr. Eliopoulos is hilarious and down to earth. There wasnt a ton of homework. Maybe 4 or 5 graded assignments the whole semester. He genuinely enjoys teaching the material. However, he unfathomably does not and will not watch Game of Thrones. Its absolutely banana land. Anyway, good teacher and cool guy.
Excellent professor. you wont regret taking his class and he will walk the extra mile for any student.
I will say hes nice I guess, but I didnt learn English Im not a better writer because I took this class he just goes on tangents and sure hes amusing but I wasnt there for comedy I was there to learn English. And I didnt. And when I took composition 2 I was not prepared. Because he didnt do his job.
