He is a nice guy. May seem intimidating at first, but when you talk 2 him in private he is way laid back. Grades fair on essays, there is quite a bit of work though.

Mr. Marcoux is a fantastic English teacher. Clear, fair, open, and interactive. The amount of reading is lower than most teachers, and enjoyable.

Pro. Marcoux is a nice guy, you will not get bored in his lecture, he always gives great info. In this class, you don't really have the test, you just need to do your assignments on time, the grades are all base on the assignment.

Professor Marcoux is an excellent teacher! He divides the essays into 4 parts to make the writing process a lot easier. He gives very detailed feedback on your first draft.

Most of your grade comes from essays, but if you do the prep work it will be fine.

This class was mainly us being on our computers and just doing research for essays which were easy. He explains each assignment well, gives good feedback. As well as there are times when you will get in groups to discuss your essay or presentation.

Essays may be intimidating but the prep work (presentation outline and audio recording of rough draft) makes the whole process simple. He leaves voice comments on feedback for essays so listen to those especially when you missed something. Volunteer when he is giving feedback on essays, he doesn't bite :)

Prof Marcoux was my first English prof at my first year, and I have nothing bad to say about him at all. He was very understanding and very helpful if you felt confused about a topic, he helped out with starting your papers. He is very nice and genuinely a good person to talk to.

Very easy and straightforward class. 4 essays first 3 100 pt each last one 200 points. Has a late penalty 5 percent off per day which is very fair. De facto online.

Prof Marcoux was very helpful when writing essays; he met with each student and provided helpful feedback & comments on essays before making the final submissions. Marcoux was very engaging, and his lectures were not boring at all. The work in this class was not difficult at all but be prepared to do a lot of research for the final essay.

his feedback on assignments was often very brief and lacking in detail. I found it difficult to understand where I went wrong or how I could improve in my future work. Constructive criticism is crucial for learning, and I often left his feedback feeling confused rather than enlightened. his grading was notably harsh.

Prof Marcoux is engaging and provides helpful feedback on essays. While the work isn't too difficult, be ready to do research. Unstuckstudy can be a great study aid alongside the provided resources.

Loved this professor. The format of assignments is the same for each essay. Likes it when you volunteer your work to grade in front of the class. Likes when you work ahead. Weekly discussions and 1 assignment. Super straight forward and essay based.

This professor is very tough on grading. Take in person if you can, he's very blunt on email and overall just doesn't provide the greatest feedback. Hard to connect with, he turned down a bunch of my research questions even though I had them reviewed by peers. He just tells you everything is wrong and doesn't elaborate further.

Breaks down papers so that you're well prepared to write them: google slides outline, record yourself reading the essay, rough draft, final draft. Discussions that make you actually read the textbook. VERY good at catching cheaters. Lectures are helpful, gives time in class to work on assignments. Loved his class honestly

Has favorites in class, and does not hide it . Harsh grader even when he tries to give you FEEDBACK. Feedback lacks effort so much, he basically just tells you want he thinks and not what you should do. He humiliates classmates in class, hard person to connect with. If you fit his standard as a student, go ahead take him, if not. good luck.

Typical English class, took this class online during the summer. Essays were pretty straightforward, and weekly discussion boards. The professor is pretty chill and grades accordingly. He tells you what he wants; it's up to you if you want to follow them.
