He is the awsomest teacher ever....young sponky, and keeps you itesed

He Is awsome, very entertaining, very funny and is a great teacher , he helps you with ur essays and loks at your perspctive and doesnt judge the way you right.

"Francev" is an amazing professor/person. Every class session was helpful. I looked forward to class all the time. However, he is not an easy "A"--you have to work for your grade in the class. He forces you to look beyond the text, it was a critical thinking class after all. I wish he was teaching there when I had to take my other English classes.

Excellent professor. English 104 is a required class for transfer and is definitely not a class I would've taken otherwise. Francey made the class worth going to and kept his class interested and focused the entire time everyday. This is not a simple class and it required a lot of outside work. Not recommended for gum smackers.

Simply the greatest!! He really knows his stuff.

By far, the best teacher I've had the pleasure of having since I started at VVC. He should seriously be teaching at a University, not a community college.

Had Francev for both 101 & 104... He is passionate about his work, wants you to succeed beyond your preconceived idea of your self.

Francev is a nice enough teacher. He is a little hard to follow because he is off on strange tangents from time to time and strays from his syllabus. His grading is also very subjective. So long as you write your papers from his point of view you will do fine. He also uses a lot of profanities in his lecture, it caught me off guard at first.

Francev is very outgoing and uses humor with his lectures. He is very understanding. he is extremely helpful and makes sure you feel comfortable with your work.

He was really flexible in the way he taught the class. His grading was reasonable and you could recieve extra help if you asked. However, he did not teach some of the fundamentals you need to know before taking Eng 104.

Great teacher. Really wants to get his students to become better writers. He offers his help during the essay assignment periods. I suggest you take full advantage of the days he gives you to come to class and go over your paper. He is there to help you, and is entertaining in his content. Best english teacher I've had & has made me a better writer

Great Teacher. He has shaped me into a much better writer. The books are a little boring, but he goes into detail in class with notes, so take notes. Take advantage of the days he gives you for peer review on your essays, he will help you greatly. Best english teacher I've had, has great personality/humor, made the essays/reading worth it!

Loved him. He Is amazing at teaching, A lot of writing and reading in his class but he makes it very enjoyable. I got to say its been the best class I have ever had in community college.

Yes, Francev is sarcastic, but it is his sarcasm that makes the class interesting. He not only teaches the class how to look at literature (stories and poetry, mainly), but how to write about them. He is very patient when it comes to our essays. And he even has peer workshops so that you know what you're doing and can get the highest grade possible

Real awesome professor, enjoyed his perspective and teaching style. This class was lots of work but in the end it was worth it because I learned many new things.

He is a great teacher, sarcastic but very funny. Class was fun and interesting. He doesn't mind if you walk in a little late, but he also won't hesitate to say something about it either. He likes to hear your opinion but he wants you to back it up with evidence. I am taking him for Eng 104 next semester. Only calls on you if hands raised. )

Francev is why I have some hope for the teaching faculty at vvc. Dude is hilarious and always helpful when you need it. The class seems like a lot, but it really isn't. If he's available take him!

Had him this past summer for English 102,-Intro to Literature. Fantastic teacher! He was really funny, we read Hamlet, Wordsworth, and other short stories. All you need to do is read the stories from your textbook, do the research based on those readings, and write the essays. Plus, he gives out peer reviews for rough drafts, and he revises them.

Took Francev for 101 and i have to say that he is the best English professor at VVC. He is a bit tough on you but he only wants to prepare you for the real world. he cares for his students and is very helpful and really funny!! this was the only class i have actually enjoyed at VVC, i will be taking him again for 104!!

Took this class for the second half of spring 2015 and loved it. Studied Albert Camus, and I learned a lot about this author. We were a very small class but it felt more like a group of family members versus classmates. I really enjoyed Mr. Francev and his interesting lectures. We read a few stories and a few wrote a few papers. Great class!!!

Great class!!!

Francev was the best Professor I have had so far. He responds to emails promptly and is extremely helpful in class. You can tell he loves what he teaches and is hilarious! Class was always great to come to and I never failed to learn something. I still pull out my old books and try to wrap my head around Camus' work.

Take Francev, he is awesome, super funny & makes class fun. At first I was nervous because of how difficult he makes the class sound the first day, but honestly, it's so doable! Don't stress, he wants you to pass, so just work with him & take notes! Research paper is not that bad, so don't let that scare you. P.S. Camus is awesome!!

Very helpful professor-- especially when it comes to the essays. stay on top of the reading and essays and you'll be fine. He's there to help his students succeed.

Francev is very helpful when it comes to understanding the readings and gives good critique to writings. He can be rude sometimes though. He tends to let his emotions get the best of him. If you can ignore is moody days, he is great!

I took this class to fulfill my GE credits for when I transferred to a university. After taking the 101 course, I continued on to take his ENG 104 during the winter semester. This class was fun and my writing skills improved greatly. If I had a chance to take a class from him again, I wouldn't think twice!

get ready to read and study Albert Camus! the class is a lot of fun if you're willing to work for your grade!

Class was not hard at all! Yes, you will have to write a lot ! 2-3 in class essays, 3 take home essays and a 15 pg final essay (take home). I didn't by the books, just went to class. Oh and he's smokin hot !

Professor Francev is a great professor. This is my first time writing a review and it is because i think he is worth a shout out. My writing skills improved greatly from taking his class. You will definitely work for your grade, but if you are continuing your education it is worth it. Thanks Prof!

The best English Professor at VVC hands down. He makes you work for a good grade, but that's how it should be. I've become a better writer since taking his class. Showing up to peer review is NOT mandatory but is a MUST if you wanna get a good grade. Make the class interesting for him and he'll do the same. Don't let the syllabus scare you!!!!!!!

I took Francev for my last semester at VVC and he prepared me in every way possible. This class was one of my all time favorites, he was super hilarious, and helped us understand the content in each Albert Campus novel. He definitely makes you work for your grade, and gives great feedback. HE WILL prepare you for university level.

I've had Francev for three semesters in a row. Unfortunately this was my last semester with him and that really saddens me. For the time i had him he was the best Eng teacher I have ever had. His humor takes a minute to get used to but once you know him you dish out what he gives you. If i could take him for all my eng classes i would (:

Took him in Fall 2016. All his lectures from Albert Camus are understandable. Get ready to read novels from Albert Camus. His grading material is fair. When being stuck on a paper, he offers workshops for him to review and how you can write your paper better. Easy class and left class with a B.

He gives 4 essays(homework) one is a research paper. There is also a midterm and final in class, each is a minimum of 6 pages and prompt is given the same day, It was a little tough. get ready to write some papers!! :) he is pretty hot though and can be funny, I guess his looks make up for the uninteresting subject. haha I am just happy its over.

This teacher was great! All of the lectures were hilarious. I loved going into this class. Lectures are very detailed. If you don't understand the language in poetry or Shakespeare, he has your back. Breaks down all of the reading. If you take good notes, this class can be very simple. Would most definitely take again, and recommend to everyone!

Excellent professor, Just finished Eng 50 now on to take his course in Eng 101. You can tell he really enjoys his students and loves to teach.

One of the most entertaining classes and teachers I have had In a while. Francev makes the class personable and actually wants you to become a better writer. Would recommend and take again. One of my favorite teachers so far.

I can't say enough good things, he is by far the best teacher I've had thus far in my life. He is passionate about the authors he lectures about and makes you work for the best paper you can possibly write. I've taken him 3 semester, but if I could I would have taken more. Teachers like him and rare and never forgotten! Sharktastic!!

Francev is amazing! If you get a chance to take his classes TAKE THEM. I always looked forward to his lectures and he is hilarious. There is a lot of reading and writing, but he is willing to help you in your writing process with peer workshops. He cares about his student's progress and is always willing to help! I will definitely take him again

Francev is AMAZING! Teaching style: knows his material soo well and is willing to accomodate with each student to make it clear. Super sarcastic & funny Classwork: you will need to read, mainly Albert Camus. 2 essays, essay midterm, and final research paper Grading: fair and clear criteria. Go to the workshops because THIS IS WHERE YOU REALLY LEARN

Mr francev is a wonderful teacher, he is willing to help you pass your class just get ready to read

Francev is a great teacher and is extremely funny! if you want to improve your writing take his class! he helps his students so much and his class was super fun!

Amazing professor! Would 100% recommend. He goes over the material word by word & only assigns a few essays throughout the semester. Very thorough with teaching, & really great professor. He makes the material interesting & there was never a dull day of class. Would definitely take again.

I have only been at VVC for a couple semesters, but there's no doubt in my mind that he is, and will always be, one of the best professors out there. He helped push me to be my very best, while also helping me gain confidence. Choosing him as an english professor is the best decision a student could make. Be prepared for endless jokes and sarcasm!

The best English class ever. Took him twice already for English 6 and know 45. He gives good feedback on your essays, there is a lot of writing but he help you out a lot with your paper so you can become a better writer. I would recommend this class for anyone thinking of taking his class.

Look, if you are one of those students that hates doing work don't take his class. You need to write essays, read a ton and it won't be one of those easy A classes. He is an amazing professor that will prepare you for your UC or CSU. oh and learn to take a joke if you're going to take his class

Hes cool

Take advantage of his peer workshop he mainly knows what he wants to see on his papers. 3 essays were given and buy all the books you will need it for all your essays. Be sure to read the assigned books and using the journals as your secondary sources. Hes hilarious and I loved his lectures, he provides info needed for each book.

Petey is such an awesome teacher. I have never written a review on this site, but felt compelled to after taking his class. I was a highschool dropout who was never introduced to poetry. Pete really opened my mind into decoding between the lines, and he helped me build a strong foundation in the critical thinking aspect of reading. definite pepper

Francev was an amazing professor. He really broke things down and made you think. We would have peer reads which were not mandatory every time we had a paper. During that time many people wouldn't show up since it "isn't mandatory". However, this would give you a chance to improve your paper and he would even look over it and give you some tips.

Best english professor I've had, by far.

Very funny and caring. Likes to make sure you truly understand the materials. Sometimes he would cancel in the middle of class bc he said he was tired, and would give us more days to read the assigned material. The only drawbacks in my opinion is that you have to buy all the books and theres like 12 of them, and they cant really be used again

Amazing professor not only in English but just an amazing person overall

Professor Francev was awesome. He would have a lot of workshops and he would often let us chose our essay topics. Homework was about average and there was an average amount of reading. Highly recommend. Watch for his sarcastic and hilarious jokes.

Professor Francev is the only college professor to make a difference in my life. Take him! The class is enjoyable, the reading material is great. Goes above and beyond to make sure you understand the readings. Work hard and you will pass. Took him for multiple classes. I wish all my college professors cared about our education like he does.

Literally the best teacher I've ever had throughout my school years. He's hilarious while still being able to stay on topic. He gives great feedback and really wants you to succeed, a very genuine person and teacher.

Francev is funny while clear with his lectures. He keeps you interested in the topics and opens your mind to new ideas and thoughts. He is un-bias in his gradings and gives you the opportunity to fix your mistakes. It would be hard to fail his class.

Literally one of my favorite professors while at VVC. He's funny and very clear about what he wants on his papers. He'll help you if you ask him. Dont be scared to ask him for help! He even emailed me when I transferred to a 4 year asking how it was going!

Francev is awesome, hilarious, a fair instructor. He is explicit and has his students read a lot. He helps with the reading, however, and theres a lot of essays too do, but thats mostly all youll do. You truly get back what you put in grade-wise in this class.

Hes very sarcastic and loves to joke around hes an amazing teacher. Ive taken him for several different English classes because Im an English major and for every class he was an easy A. Not much work depending on what class you have him for and hes an easy grader. Definitely recommend.

You ever walk into a class and be happy to be there? Well his class will do it. He made English inviting and his lectures were amazing. He gave out all the assignments for the year on day one. Buy all the books, trust me, you're going to need them. He's a fair grader and tells you what you need to fix. Class is easy if you follow prompt directions.

When I took this teacher I was scared Id be a terrible writer especially compared to my past classes. Not only that, I HATE reading and there is loads of reading. But the bright side is, the content you have to read is really interesting, and he gets you to think deeper. On the bright side hes really funny. Also dont be afraid to ask for help.

Professor Francev is one of the best faculty members at VVC. Hes sarcastic and fun and makes the material interesting. Dont be afraid of the reading, theres a lot but he will help you. He is super committed to his students. Hes a gem and has a big heart.

He is an awesome lecturer. His class was extremely entertaining. He genuinely cares for his students and their success.

He's a great teacher! He is for sure one of my favorite english professors. He's so hilarious and cares about you learning so not an easy 'A' but if you care about actually learning then he's a great one! (Work load not that bad).

This professor really helps you become a better writer. He tells you exactly what he wants in an essay and guides you through it. ATTEND HIS PEER WORKSHOPS! Participate and get ready for his sarcasm and jokes (LOL). There were 3 papers, last research paper is worth half your grade and 12-15 pages long. He gives you enough time to get it done.

Bottom line, do your part and he (as a teacher) will do his. You can't find a more down to earth professor who wants to see you succeed. I loved and appreciated all of the literature he chose for our semester (Camus, Washington Black) both relevant and relateable. VBM

Great Professor, I thought his class was going to be tough and he made it a stress free environment. Gives good feedback, quick on emails, and gives helpful workshops for papers. Take him, put effort into your work and he will make sure to help when put forth the effort.

This has to be the best English teacher I've had at this college. His lectures are helpful and can be really funny. Like just wait till you hear some of his stories. If your new to English, I highly recommend taking Francev's courses. You'll want to take his classes again even if you don't need the credits. Best teacher here.

Dr. Francev is one of the best professors you could take at VVC for English. Rather than make you write on reused topics, he gives students the opportunity to delve deep into relevant philosophical ideas. Put in the work, and your intellectual well-being and grade will thank you. Graded on 2 essays; he offers feedback anytime you ask.

Reading is essential but what you will learn will stick with you. Always had great discussion in class.

Don't be thrown off by weird first impressions. Dr. Francev is an oddball who cares deeply for the success of his students. He will push you because he sees your potential. This class motivated me in ways other English classes hadn't and I am so glad for the opportunity to have experienced it. Take this class for a rewarding challenge!

A great and inspiring teacher. I didn't exactly get the best grade in his class, but that is my own expense. He is fun, outgoing, and sarcastic. If you are possibly easily offended by language, darker humor, or anything like that this class is not for you. It was the highlight of my semester. I will definitely remember his salmon-colored pants.

I loved taking his class! If you put in the time and effort to actually try to pass his class, you will. He's sarcastic, funny, and kind. Yes, he is a strict grader but he provides good feedback when you seek it out. You'll read difficult poems and write about 3 essays on them but that's all you do the whole semester. So the workload is not bad.

Francev does assign lengthy essays as his assignments, but it's only a few in the semester. We actually only did two essays the in his 101 class. However he is a reasonable grader and will grade according to how much effort you put into the essay. If you manage your time right and don't procrastinate you will spend no time worrying abt his class.

It was an amazing class and the essays were not the hard and he does tell you want he wants to see if you ask him. And he does how workshop days when the essay is coming up, so you can go and have him reveal and tell you what mistakes you have made and how to fix it

Francev is truly one of those rare kind of people, you get a lot of knowledge from him. I feel confident in my essay writing abilities from his 101 and 104 class but he is not for the lazy or faint of heart. If you give it your all you will not be disappointed, anyone who has ever felt offended or thinks that he is inappropriate is just a baby.

Pretty cool guy! Very understanding and Sarcastic! Not many assignments and he will help you if you ask, he will give you all the supplies but you just need to communicate and participate. Really takes the time to give great feedback on your work and there's few assignments.

Definitely have to read the material given. The grade is determined by two essays which isn't an issue as long as you use the resources he gives you, very open to helping. Hard class, hard assignments, but he works with you and as long as you take advantage of that you should be fine.

Take this class he is willing to help it is a bit challenging but only if you chose not to participate and show up.

There is a lot of reading but it is not that bad at all. Most of what you will read is journal essays and stories. The essays are very easy to write and are easy prompts. You will not regret taking this professor.

Professor Francev was a great professor for my ENG-101 class. As long as you show up to class, do your best to participate even if you are confused (which he prefers so he can explain), and READ, you will enjoy his class and him as a professor. Not a lot of homework and a great experience overall. Will take again!

Dr. Francev is not an easy professor, but is educated on Albert Camus Studies. There are people who may not agree with everything he says, but he has been studying Camus for years. The required readings are Albert Camus novels and stories, and journals about Camus' works. There were only 2 essays, and he does peer workshops for them.

Dr. Francev is considerate, reasonable, and helpful; his peer review sessions will ensure a satisfactory grade on the required papers. Students must attend his class prepared to get the most out of his lecture. Dr. Francev is not arrogant but knowledgeable on his subject.

Honestly, as long as you read everything that you're supposed to read and write your essays in a timely manner. you will be alright. He is always willing to check your papers and gives great feedback. His lectures are so entertaining, it makes time fly by quickly. The subject material is also interesting, he mainly focuses on Camus.

He is quite tough on grading essays and only grades two essays throughout the semester so if you mess up on one there is no going back. Francev is very charming and hilarious regardless and will help you as much as you can on those two essays.

I took Professor Francev back to back semesters because he makes class enjoyable, and treats everyone like they are human. His material can be difficult to understand on your own, but if you go to class and ask questions you will have no trouble because of how much help he will offer. Would take again!

Dr.Fracev is the best professor I ever had. I took about three classes because he is funny and likable. He only grades by two essays and the week they are due he will read them over and give feedback if you fail his class it's completely on you. I never thought I would enjoy writing so much very thought-provoking which is needed to be a good writer

Has to be one of my faves, super helpful willing to give feedback, and super funny while doing it. If you don't have a sarcastic sense of humor go for someone less funny. He is himself through and through so much so it's respectable.

"Dr. Francev is an excellent professor. I took English 104 during the summer semester of 2023. The class was very straightforward, consisting mostly of lectures on chapters assigned for reading. We focused exclusively on Albert Camus and his famous works, such as 'The Stranger'." Professor Francev is also very easy to get along with.

Only a few assignments super sweet super funny absolutely loved this class. only 4 assignments but only goes over poems.

I took Dr. Francev my first year of college and it was hard at first, but he does INDEED work with you anytime you need it. He encourages students to have outlines of papers before the due date so that he can read it and tell you what you can do for a better grade. He does not give many assignments at all. I took him twice willingly, he is amazing!

He really cares and makes sure you do all of workshops it helps a lot don't go to tutoring center .his a really going on teacher you must get to know the real him.wouks take his class any time again.

He is a nice guy who cares for the students and always tries to make us show the best we can in our writing. He gives good feedback if you go to the peer workshops! Also, he's funny and can be nice but grumpy in a good way.

Professor Francev is very knowledgeable. Gave two papers which add up to 100% of your grade. Holds peer workshops the week of due dates to give feedback. He also has a very sarcastic and snarky sense of humor which made lectures more enjoyable. He will work with you if you need anything. Overall, an enjoyable and intriguing class with him!

Peter Francev is a genuine and caring person, the class is very heavy on poem reading but Francev helped so much when it came to understanding the poems, yes his class is based on 3 essays and honestly if you just simply listen and ask for help he's there, yes I got a C- which is my fault but Francev is very fair and clear on what needs to be done.

Peter Francev is an amazing person and professor and I feel empowered by every one of his lectures. The course, while very test heavy, is fun and interactive. Professor Francev is always willing to supply help to those in need, and he has inspired me to further my education in language.

W teacher. Very funny guy. Awesome feeeback. Very informational lectures. One of the most intelligent teachers ive ever had. Hard class though. Recommend to never miss class

I took him for both English 101-104. Amazing professor, truly cared about what he taught and I learned a lot about Albert Camus. He's a tough grader but I'm probably just not the best in English. He always showed what you needed to work on during the rough drafts. Grateful to been his student 3 times, take him if you want a professor who cares!

While Dr Francev may not be everyone's favorite professor, I really enjoyed his classes. Coursework is fairly simple, just 2 papers for the semester. As long as you attend lectures and ask questions you should be okay. My advice is to attend all peer reviews, and have as much of your essay ready to show him when you do. His feedback is great!

Dr. Francev is an excellent professor who is truly dedicated to his students if you pay attention, you'll be just fine. I would recommend students to take any of his courses.

Dr. Francev is a wonderful professor who cares for his students. 104 is a hard class as Dr. Francev goes over Albert Camus' works exclusively. Keep in mind this is a critical thinking class, and philosophy requires a lot of it. He truly pushes students to think critically about the writings we are working with.

He's a really good professor if you take him in person. He breaks down the material well and gives a ton of help if you do the reading and start working on your essays early, the fact that I got a C was completely on me for missing a deadline.

He thinks it's hilarious that his RMP page is so controversial. I took his class about the British Romantic Era of literature. He was a great professor, very funny and really knowledgeable. Grades are based on two essays only. Just show up to lectures, bring a complete rough draft for workshops and you'll be fine. Hi Dr. Francev! -Z :)
