Took Myers for English 67 to English 1A, I will be honest I was scared at first to take him, he seemed hard. Yes you do a lot of essays but it helps you get better at writing . There is a lot of group work, so be careful not to be with the same people you might be moved! And a lot of reading!! So you better read!! But over all he's great!!

Yes, he gives a lot of essays and there is a lot of reading to do as well but all the work he assigns in the end pays off. He truly wants his students to become better writers and is honest with his feedback. By far the best professor i've ever had.

Taken for both ENGL1A & 66. If you're looking for an easy A, look elsewhere. Myers is a hardcore English professor because he's preparing you to become a great writer, even when you thought you were already good. Pros: no tests/quizzes, along with honest feedback.
