He is a great teacher. His class is fun and he is fair and really nice person. I'd like to take his class again.
Simply put, Dr. Follett rules! Probably the best professor at Pierce and one of the best anywhere. His class is hard, but he is fair and his lectures are ALWAYS fascinating!!!His class is work but it is all worth it. He is brilliant,kind, and hilarious!
Great teacher. Its a tough class just show up and participate
This man made me wanna become an English major.He is quite awe-inspiring and inspirational! He is definitely worth the trouble of working to even get into the class. Simply amazing!!!

A nice teacher, take him.
He is one of the best professors at Pierce College. You will have to work, but you will enjoy going to class and you will learn a lot. He grades fairly. He tells stories related to his lecture which make the class interesting.
Professor Follett is awesome. I try to take one of his classes every semester. As long as you pay attention in class, you will do well. He's very fair and you will come out of his class with better English Skills.
He is the best English professor i have ever had.
He's the best proffesor in the English department. He's very funny and interesting too. He tells stories and makes everyone laugh. Not only do you learn, but you also have fun at the same time. I would defiantly recommend him without a doubt! Hopefully, I'll take his class for next semester also.
He is the best teacher. He is very cool.
HE IS A GREAT TEACHER I NEVER HAD A TEACHER LIKE HIM IN PIERCE COLLEGE.YOU LEARN AND HAVE FUN AT THE SAME TIME GREAT TEACHER
He is very good !!!! I highly recommend to take his class. I've never met this good English teacher after I came to the states. He is Awesome!!!!
Best teacher thus far at Pierce. His personality is pleasantly infectious. So nice and helpful. My only complaint is that his grading scale is overly fair. Work hard for him, and write essays that are from your heart. Note: Be adept at forming cohesive, analytical statements. Best teach ever.
He is very funny. I enjoy his class, but his grading was hard.
You're going to learn a lot in his classes. He is really helpful. Great English teacher! Highly recommend to take him!
Great Teacher. He loves to teach. He knows how to keep your interest. Great discussions in class. Extremely open minded. A good amount of reading is required but this teacher is worth it. I would not hesitate to take him again. I got A's for both classes I took with him.
Amazing professor. Very interesting class. He's very helpful and fun. I would definetly take him again!
He is the best English teacher at Pierce. Take him.
Best teacher ever! at first i was a lil scared but then he lightens up...he loves to tell stories and they aren't too bad. Easy A... I used essays from High School and got A =0) take him forsure.
Does not by any means teach easy classes (esp. if you take 252), but he is always willing to help. He is enthusiastic about teaching, and it shows. Easily the best teacher I have EVER had whether at pierce or not. Lots of reading required, but he goes over alot of material in detail, so you understand what he wants you to know. I LUV THIS GUY!!!!
Professor Follett is a true teacher. He cares about you learning the information given. He is interested in his students. He is a "must take" for English 28 students
He's an amazing teacher!!He really cares about your personal insight of the topic being assigned. Highly recommended! English won't be boring with him!
I really love this teacher. The first day or so, he might seem a little tough but that's just to scare off some people that might not want to take his class. He's seriously there for you, he's organized, he CARES, i never fell asleep in his class even if i didnt sleep at all the night b4, it was interesting, he's funny. One of Pierce's best!
I had him for Bible as Lit class, and I loved how he was always able to relate such an old text to current events and introduce new interpretations. very fun and open minded. i managed to stay awake through every one of his evening sessions. you just need to tap your analytical mind; this class does involve critical thinking after all
Hes very clear and caring person, he cares about what you have to say. Take him and you wont regret it!
Brilliant Professor! Well-organized and precise on everything.Very helpful and cares about students.Took this class in summer and received an A.I highly recommend Professor Follett for any ENG. class.Enjoyed his life story experiences!
Professor Follett is brilliant, organized, and passionate in his teaching. If you are lazy, do not take this class. Follett makes you work but you understand what you are doing and actually learn something. You can tell he loves every minute of his teaching, and he loves being there. I am going to try to take Follett for English 102 in Spring 2006.
Very nice, helpful,caring,kind,smart,.... teacher.Trust me you won't feel bored during his class.Very entertaining;better than watching a movie.You have to read a lot though(but don't, just read some stories and know them good,you'll be fine).Ok my advice; just take him.
wonderful professor!
I enjoyed his class, he is the bomb.
Excellent teacher. Loves his job and it shows. Very organized, helpful, and clear. A lot of reading assigned and essay's due. I write way better than I used to after taking this class. I also had him for English 28. One of the better professor's at Pierce. Always on time and never dismisses class early. Easy B.
The best professor I have ever taken in my life. He is brilliant professor. He makes you work hard. He will make sure you understand the material.
Professor Follet is a GREAT professor. His lectures are very interesting but very fast paced so be sure to pay attention. Be sure to take good notes and know the material. His tests make you think and I advise you not to miss any of his classes. GREAT guy and really cares about his students' well being.

Great professor! You'll have a blast and learn a lot!
I love him! He never bores me. He keeps the class interesting with his outrageous comments. He expects you to know your grammar rules so KNOW THEM! He is very nice and he'll try to scare you the first couple of days because he does not want anybody to BS in his class..
GREAT professor, great guy! Keeps you paying attention, never boring, extremely helpful if sought out. My writing style has changed for the better! (kept calling me annabelle though..)
GREAT! GREAT! GREAT! Can't go wrong.
What a wonderful instructor. He loves to teach and knows his subject inside and out. I was expecting Bible Lit to be boring, but it turned out to be the most fun because Follett makes it fun. He has lots of energy, he's fair, he's smart, and he's kind. He even passed out candy and water during the final. How great is that?!
AWESOME TEACHER!!! EVERYONE ELSE SUCKS!! KEEPS YOU AWAKE AND WANT TO BE THERE!!
He keeps the class interesting. He is very nice :)
amazing teacheeerrr! i LOVE writing essays in his class and they're soooo easy. don't let him scare you on the first day of class. his class really isnt hard, i PROMISE!
Professor Follett is such an amazing teacher. He keeps the class awake, sharing funny stories. He always relates them to the topic of the day (it's a great teaching method). If you are lucky enough to get in his class before it's full, trust me, you won't regret it. He is really punctual, nice, funny and fair. Professor Follett ROCKS!! :D
The best class I have ever taken. I learned so much and it was such a fun class. You will never be bored in this class. Professor Follett's teaching skills are exeptional. He is such a good person. If you don't take his class you will miss out!! Professor Follett is such a ROCKSTAR!!!!!! =]
Follett is a great teacher. He's very lenient when it comes to in class essays &he gives you plenty of time to do papers, esp. with his editing days. He provides plenty of help &guidance with the texts. He relates topics with funny stories and talks in a lively, fast pace to keep you awake & not bored. A very kind man; you'll love him.
One of the best teachers at Pierce. I strongly recomend him.
Dr Follett is all of what these students have said and more. I have learned so much from him that I decided to take the 101 and Anthro 104 class that he is offering with Levine. A great man, that really knows his subject and books to the tee. A likeable guy as you get to know him. Your lucky if you get him!! Helps me to be a great essay writer!
REALLY cool teacher. Makes class fun, tells lots of stories that relate to the writings. I strongly recommend taking his class. Very easy to get along with, and always willing to help.
He is really a great teacher. The class is not that hard but yu really learn a lot. He tells lots of stories about his life which are very entertaining, and as long as you show up, you don't have to study very much. I highly recommend this class!
He is a really good professor..he makes jokes at times and he gives a lot of examples which makes the class exciting and fun.. You do a lot of essays but that is what you have to do in all english 28 classes.. he is picky on fragments and run-ons so just be careful on those things and you will do great.. Have fun:)
Nice Professor. Tell class examples of his life story. But let me warn you If you have any sentence fragments, comma-splices and run-ons on your essays you will get a (D) on those essays. So make sure you don't make those mistakes when writing your essays. You were warned!
He is a very good lecturer. You'll be in class the entire period.
he is the best professor i've ever had. his class is fun, not boring at all. take his class and enjoy english
I hated this clas...Really stupid class...very worthless and the essays were stupid! doesn't know how to teach and very confusing!! need the textbooks, he has stupid stories!!!!
Nice man. Easy class. Write good easys and make sure you get them proofread by a couple of people. Hes not boring and his stories are interesting. Recommended!
I enjoyed his classes! I recommend him for English28!
He is one of the most best professor on campus. You will love this class. Take his class for sure it will change the way you study for ever. He Rocks!
Great professor with great personality. Very funny and cute--yet extremely helpful if you have problems.
He is great! His class is not very easy, you have to do your work.But you can learn a lot from him, and he has positive attitude and great personality. very professional professor.
he doesnt help at all..for his lectures he just tells stories that we didnt really need to know..i didnt improve at all on my writing because he teaches so badly..just an advice prof.pay more attention to your students rather than telling stories that are nonsense..the group editing..doesnt work for all of us..
Keeps your attention while throwing tons of information at you. Easy to soak up the information. Also varies by giving stories for examples. A delightful teacher with tons of insight on various subjects.
he is just great. the best professor ever. it's a very easy class
He is the best.He cares about his students, and he is extremely helpful. He gives home phone to students. His class isn't really easy but you really can learn a lot.He does tell a lot of stories but we learn from those stories. highly recommendated!!!
Great Prof. Tells stories that pertain to class to show how everything connects. Has wide knowledge. Throws a lot of information at you repeatedly so that you get it. Delightful in general. Also very fair.
if you want to learn.. he is your man. he is always available if you need help. i think he is a great teacher and very interesting. if you want to play around i would suggest you do not take him. he cares about his students and he is always willing to help if you are willing to learn.
Highly recommended. He is one of those rare professors who really cares about his students. If you are willing to come to class and pay attention, then you will do just fine. There is a ton of reading (well that is expected in a Bible Lit course) but he makes it manageable. He only tests on things gone over in class. Very delightful man overall.
One of the best! Very friendly and very approachable for questions. 3 exams and 2 papers; for exams, he lets you pick from a pool of questions to answer, and exams are open-book. Lots of discussion in class. Definitely recommended, but register early - his classes fill quick.
Great Teacher! Strongly Recommend!
AWESOME teacher. If you want to improve your education, sign up before his class fills up. He’s kind, clear, highly educated, compassionate and just an overall wonderful person. I highly recommend him to any student that will at least moderately put effort into the class.
A wonderful Prof. Come to class and particapate in discussion. He really helps you be prepare to write the best essays for life. Smart, fun, energetic and caring. Don't miss out stay in class till you get added!
The best professor ever! He realy cares about his students and makes class fun, fun, fun!!! If you need help ask and he will help you.
He has been by far my favority professor at Pierce. He is very entertaining and fun. I loved going to his class. It was the only 3 hour class that actually went by pretty quickly. I highly recommend taking his class.
if you want to listen to stories than take this class , other than that hard class a lot of useless essays and no explanation ....
he is best professor I have ever had
He is how all Pierce professors should be. He teaches the course that is usually boring (or sounds boring) and made it entertaining. He is the most open minded guy and loves to use the work Fuc* in an educational sense. It's hilarious. NOT AN EASY A though, you have to earn it. It separates true college students from lazy high school students.
I do not see what the big deal is with this teacher; the class is hard and his grading is unreasonable.
One of my FAVORITE profs! He loved to tell stories & was very smart and open to most anything..likes to say Sh*t and F*uck..for educational purposes of course ;) A very wise man one could learn a lot from! Strict on the format for essays..just do exectly what says and u wont have probs. Remember..this is college, not High School.
If you're an excellent essay writer by all means take Prof. Follett English 28 class, if you are not, you will struggle in this class. You will have to work hard to get a good grade. I wish he would've told less stories and more on how to write a good essay in class. The group editing in class didn't really work either. Trust me, take someone else.
HE IS A GREAT TEACHER.. HE EXPLAINS EVERYTHING HE WANTS.. HE IS A STRICT GRADER.. U HAVE TO WORK FOR THE A.. HE IS REALLLLY HELPFUL.. ALSO A VERY UNDERSTANDING PERSON... HIGHLY RECOMENDED..
Professor Follett is one of the best teachers I have ever had.. and I have been in school a long time! He is very interesting, the class flies by- and that's saying a lot after working all day and being in class til 10 at night. If you have a question, ask. He will always take the time to help you if you need it. Highly recommend him!!!
He is really picky with his students, and he talks way too much.
This is the best teacher ever!He is highly intelligent,funny,helpful,personable and approachable. I enjoyed the class very much and learned a lot. If you want to learn something and enjoy yourself take his class. He really knows his maaterial. He talks very fast so listen carefully. Make sure to do precisely what he wants and you will do fine.
Amazing professor. Goes out of his way to help you. Very interactive with students, friendly and interesting as well as understanding. Fun class. A bit of reading and the essays are based off readings. It does require you to work for your grade, but it shouldn't be difficult to get an A or B. Group orientated.
professor follett is the BEST english teacher you can possibly have at pierce. he is hilarious but teaches you everything you need to know. his class was actually fun to go to there were only 7 essays in the semester pretty simple but i learned alot.
Dr. Follett is the best English professor I have ever had. His in class and out of class essays always have around 6-8 topics to choose from, so you are not stuck with one topic. He also has great notations on all essays you turn in. You gotta take his class. At least once xD
Follett is ABSOLUTELY amazing! I have never had a professor like him. You will learn soooo much from him and the stories he has to share. Those stories do tie into the lesson. You MUST work hard for your grade and it is impossible to fail his class. I LOVE FOLLETT!!
Professor Follet is a brilliant teacher. He's very passionate and interesting. He's not totally easy, but he's fair. If you do your work the best you can he'll throw you a bone. I also love that he's not afraid to talk about religion. I HIGHLY recommend this teacher if you want english class to be super radical!!
Quality professor! Takes obscure ideas & makes them comprehensible! If you actually want to gain knowledge then I highly recommend! A very good person in general!
Dr. Follett is a great professor overall. You will given about 6 essay for the entire semester . He drop the lowest score or you could not to do one. He goes over common mistake the day he return the essay . If you need help with grammar I encourage to also go to the writing lab because he does really go over grammar.Also he is a liberal !
Nice Professor. He is a serious yet funny guy, and he tells a lot of colorful stories. The books are absolutely required. He gives 2-3 in-class essays & the final, plus 5-6 additional essays to do at home based on the book material, and then edit the essays in a group. Phones must be off. He starts and stops on time.
One of the few classes that i got an A in and enjoyed attending at the same time. Rock on Follet, you're the best.
ATTENTION! Stop reading this review of Professor Follett and instead enroll in one of his classes immediately! You will not find a better English professor--trust me.
Lets keep this simple. If you want to learn how to write, take him. If you just want a good grade, take someone else. He is a great professor who really wants you to learn, and will help you every way he can to succeed in writing. But if you don't want to learn, please don't waste the time and space, just go find another class.
the best professor! he's funny, charismatic, and enjoys teaching. he enjoys sharing insight about his life and enjoys helping his students pass. a students only challenge in his class is to avoid getting run ons and fragments.
Professor Follett is the most caring and loving teacher at Pierce. He is passionate about what he teaches. Not only does he teach well, but he makes it fun. Also, his care for the students is beyond accepting. He will do ANYTHING to make sure you understand what is going on in his class. You will be lucky to have him as your teacher.
Best teacher ever. if you want to learn how write take him. he does care about his students.
Quite possibly the best teacher I have EVER had in my life. He cares so much for his students and I guarantee a part of you will love him after the semester...and I mean LOVE him! His reputation is consistent with all students who have taken him- he is everyone's favorite at Pierce. Take him and don't think twice about it- you will not regret it!
I thought he was a bit nitpicky, but overall was a good teacher. Really nice, and willing to help you as long as you are willing to ask. Would recommend him, but again be careful of the little things he dislikes.
He is an amazing guy and puts life stories into his teaching, ADD HIM! you will NOT regret it, he makes class fun and enjoyable, start the research people EARLY! I love you Richard, you make my world go around!
Great professor! A lot of reading involved, but that's to be expected. You will have a great time in his class, as long as you don't slack off. He hates slackers!
He's great, but make sure you do exactly what he guides you, by the way, you really nedd to keep up in his class
He's great, but make sure you do exactly what he guides you, by the way, you really need to keep up in his class
Great professor! one of the best i have ever taken! he makes writing and learning to write properly fun! his classes are always full so if you get the chance to take him do it!
Worth every minute of my summer! He is an awesome teacher, and easy to talk to.
The guy is amazing. He should totally be teaching at the state university level though. I got a D the first semester I took it, but that was my own doing. He said I could retake the class the next semester with him, so I did. And I got an A in the class. Aced the final paper too. PLEASE TAKE THIS GUY! I promise you will not regret it.
AMAZING TEACHER! took him for the summer '11 he's so great!
Best teacher ever that's all I can say.
One of the best English professors. Take him.
He is the bestEnglish teacher that I have ever had. Trust me, I'm a student that pays really good attention to the way some teacher teach and professor Follett is the best so far!Take him! You won't regret taking this class because you will have fun and find his class interesting and easy.
One of the best professors I've had since I started Pierce. His classes are fast pace, but he almost always goes back to the important topics each class. He will help you if you ask for it, but you have to commit. You must work for an A but it's not too intense. Definitely a fun and interesting class.
Well lets just say this professor is very picky. His grading is very hard as you can see. He talks about stories that doesnt involve the subject. If you are an excellent writer take him, if not you will struggle in his class and he will give you a D++ trust me!! this professor is a compare to other great professors out their!
best english professor ever. take his class. it is amazing. you will learn how to fix sloppy writing habits. has plenty of stores to share with the class. you never get bored. he is so helpful. he is retiring this semester so take him while you can.
he is the best English professor ever. I learned a lot from his class.
The best professor at Pierce, and I loved attending his class! He is so inspiring, and he truly wants to help and guide you in your writing process.
This was the most fun, most interesting, and most engaging class I have ever had. Dr. Follett was a wonderful teacher who had interesting stories, wasn't afraid to speak his mind, and was just pleasant to be with. As long as one writes the essays and reads the books, you are guaranteed an A. Best English class ever, and more useful than any other.
His grading method is rather strict, but it ultimately helps with your writing. My grammar improved tenfold by the end of the class.
