Very very nice guy. He has an old school sense of humor which makes class fun. All you really need to do to pass is go to class, do the reading (very easy and interesting essays from popular books) and answer the questions with more than one sentence.

I did not like this teacher, if your not a good writer he doesn't like you. He was talking about poor rough drafts and side eyed me so hard, he's super passive-aggressive as well. When grading papers he's super vague and doesn't really tell you what you did wrong or how you can fix it.

Robert Haight is the best English professor at KVCC. He is awesome! He allows students the opportunity to be creative with their writing. He is very laid back and easy to talk to. Would recommend taking any class he teaches. P.S. Love the Cardigans Mr. Haight!

Mr. Haight is my favorite professor at KVCC! Teaches really well and is funny. I've taken one class with him and already signed up for another with him as well. Highly recommend!

Rob is odd, but it makes the class fun and interesting. I'd wait until the syllabus is handed out to get the books, I ended up not needing one. The only down side is, he doesn't use moodle so you have to keep track of your own grade or meet with him to find out. Easy A if you participate and go to class (attendance pts), there's not much homework.
