Good teacher, very amusing. Encourages students to form own opinions on the readings and in their papers.
Very cool students. He puts himself in a student's position and understands what we go through as college students. I love his sarcasm.
best english teacher i ever had, he really gets you thinking and laughing at the same time! he stands on the tables and yells a lot...very very good teacher
He explains what he wants in a paper clearly, which makes earning an A easier!
Everything a teacher should be...obnoxious, thought-provoking, and a lot of fun! Take every class that you can from this man!!!
Best teacher I've had.
Great teacher. Reading was tedious, but I got thru it. He was always there to help us see the connections in the book or offer his own time to help us get a good start on our essays.
this guy is hilarious...
I love this guy, there is alot of reading but it's interesting. Make sure that you read on time and the papers will be easier. He is a good teacher and makes going to class fun.
This guy is awesome! he has so much to give if you'll just listen and open your mind. he expects you put out some effort, and he'll reward it. lots of people got an A in this class, but they were earned nonetheless. I enjoyed the reading, though there was alot of it, it was pertinent to the class. tests were multiple choice, common sense, easy!
One of the greatest professors ever! Very Helpful.A lot of reading and writing, if you work hard you'll do fine :-)
Very funny, helpful, and nice. Class is pretty easy too. My favorite professor so far.
Sledge is an energetic, enthusiastic and intelligent professor who will demand your attention, but make it worth giving. He'll ask you to think, write, and learn for yourself because no one else will do it for you. You'll count yourself lucky to know him.
he is a very energetic guy who sits and walks on desks and seems a bit strange in the beginning but he is such a great professor, you pretty much earn your grade by being yourself and expressing yourself which is not a bad thing, pretty easy class and i would recomend him for any other english class!
Rob was an awesome professor! He actually made me want to do well and work hard. He is fun and real, not easy... but definetally one of my favorites so far. You'll be glad you took his class.
Simply, the best.
What to say about Rob? The first day in class, he walks in, throws his backpack on the table, saying "Boy am I a dork!" Gets loud and irritated when nobody participates, but it's always funny. Challenges you to write well; If you can make him think or laugh while reading your paper; he'll give you an A. Great professor; Slam Dunk.
Rob is a cool cat. The workload is fair and manageable. Rob will give anyone as much help as they want. He is a first class person. You will become interested because Rob is interesting. An is very attainable.
Rob is like a little boy. He wears shorts, a red sweater, tennis shoes and has crazy hair. He seems scary but really he is nice. Make sure to have him check your papers before it is time to turn them in. Try to talk in class. Read the books. You will do fine. He is a nice guy who knows his stuff and explains it perfectly if you just listen.
This teacher likes to talk, and he is constantly repeating himself, but you're guarenteed not to forget what he says. Full of interesting stories, and loves to help you out. He's not afraid to make fun of himself, express his opinion, or involve you in class discussions. The books he used were interesting, and his essay grading was fair. Original!
Sledge is the man hands down. Is more then willing to help you out and wants to help you out. All he ask is for you to try. He's my boy. Cool cat. Highly recommend him!!! Your the man Sledge!!!
I absolutely loved this class. The professor really can make or break a class and Sledge certainly makes it. He does at great job at challenging you to look at different material but doesn't expect you to like it. His class was never dull and I found myself looking forward to it. It wasn't too hard either, just a few papers. Definitely take Sledge!
Ever since day one I absolutely loved this class! Sledge challenges you to think outside the box and get creative. There was never a dull moment in his class! And most of all, he grades fairly and teaches effectively!
Rob is a great Professor! A true professional. I respected him from day one. He makes class intresting and challenges you to think. Highly recommended. Class consists 4 papers and 2 assessment tests spilt up over a 4 day period and a lot of group discussion. I highly recommended taking his engl 2000 class.
Rob was intimidating at first but I found it to be my favorite class. He is intellectually challenging but I have honestly learned more in his class than any other. He's very sarcastic and extremely funny. Great class!
Rob is the****! The man, the legend: I've now had him for two different classes; I absolutely love the guy. He is definately recommended. I loved joking around with this guy. He has a unique personality. He's a big Saints fan, but I don't judge. Saw him the other day and he is almost always smiling. Bottom line: Great prof, great class, great man.
This guy is by far the best english teacher i had! I hate english but this guy makes it fun and never keeps the class bored. I like to sleep in class a lot but i never slept once! He gives u a good grade for tryin, n i got a C lol. Take this class n u wont b sorry
He's is great professor but the problem i had was the amount of work that was given and that at times it seemed like i was in a public speaking class
He is a great teacher, and I feel like i have learned so much from him. We read 4 books and wrote essays about the books, it is easy to respond to the essays if you just take the time to read the short books. He explains everythng so crystal clear on everthing he exspects that it is hard not to follow. it was such an esay and fun class. Take Him!!
In high school I aced both AP English exams, but when my HS took 5 months getting my paperwork to CSUS, I ended up having to take this class anyway, and at first I dreaded the prospect. As time went on, however, I grew very accustomed to Sledge's teaching style, and I learned more in that class than in the last 3 years of high-school AP English.
He is so funny!!! I always looked forward to thos class!
Great! Never have been a fan of English but this professor changed my outlook on essays... for reals lol. He is awesome I loved each and every single book we read in his class!!!
I loved his class, he was very motivating...but then he wrongly accused me of plagiarizing when i had not.I then felt too shocked and intimidated to fight for my grade. all because i accidentally did not follow the syllibus guidelines. Be carefull in his class. you don't want to end up in my situation.
Great teacher! Loved the books he picked out for the course
it was an interesting class. he was always prepared before class but is very unorganized. does not have any system of notes or anything but is a very easy grader. have to do a lot of mini-presentations. i thought it was fun, but other people i know said that he was intimidating.
At first he can seem intimidating,but he really isn't.Every time you turn in a paper he makes you present it to the class.This is not as bad as it seems. There was 4 papers he assigned and we read 3 books.There was around 2 test.He grades fairly.He has a rough sense of humor but in reality he is really kind.For sure one of my favorite teachers.
At first he comes off as a very intimidating a** hole. But then he turns out to be the very opposite. Has a weird sense of humor, but he makes the material non-boring. does make you so a lot of mini presentations when you turn in papers and stuff but nothing too hard. Had to write about 5 papers but unless youre an idiot, hes an easy grader.
Best instructor on campus! He is extremely funny and wants all students to pass. He first seems intimidating, but is really nice. Totally recommend him!
Truly an imaginative, yet structured teacher- "actually read the books? you'll pass the course". He was just enough fun to balance the ferociousness of the amount of reading required. I would retake his class any day and recommend him to anyone else needing English units!
Sledge is awesome. I hate English and actually payed attention in his class because he makes class interesting. There are 5 papers, average of 4 pages. Hard grader but he tells you everything he wants so as long as you do what he wants it's an easy A.
Rob is a great professor! really dislike English but he made class really fun.He usually walks in class talking about random stuff, but then he relates it to the class lesson.He's a hard grader, but if you follow his instructions, you will get a good grade. i highly recommend Rob!
What a cool cat. don't even know where to start. Clear as mud with his instructions so you'll never be lost, unless ur a complete idiot and doesn't pay attention. Lenient on grading, I turned in a paper a week late but still gave me full credit. Pls. do ur self a favor and take this professor. So smart, he myt even change ur perspectives on life.
Great guy! He makes class very interesting and actually makes you want to go to class. At first when you meet him he might seem pretty odd, but you get the hang of him will make you laugh and explains everything clearly. You are required to read the books and do about four to five essays. Do your essays on time and you should pass with an A =]
Best teacher I've ever had. He is motivating and thought-provoking; consider yourself lucky if you get his class, and if you apply yourself, you will take away so much from it. Books are interesting, lectures are entertaining, and he is incredibly clear about his expectations. THIS ISN'T JUST A CLASS, ITS AN EXPERIENCE!:)
Awesome professor, but better yet, awesome personality. You are missing out if you don't take English 2000 with him.
Best professor I have ever had! He's always in a good mood and is a fairly easy grader. You will always leave his class with a smile. He's kinda weird but he is a really cool guy
honestly, he is hilarious! Be prepared to read for his class. We used 4 books, had 5 papers, and had a midterm and final. Completely recommend his class
Sledge is an Awesome teacher! There is a good amount of reading that must be done. He is really funny and extremely intelligent! A great class overall!
Best teacher on campus. You read 3 books . 5 essays. grades on effort and technique.
This is my 3rd class to take with Rob, and I could not offer a higher recommendation. Take him for any class that he teaches!
Sledge is a great professor. His class consist of 5 papers(3 of them based on novels). Two exams(multiple choice/Essay). No one should get any grade lower than a B.
entertaining class.Not an easy A. Quite a bit of effort for an English class.Extremely particular about tiny details and will dock points even if he states your essay was phenomenal. Every time I dread going to class because its English, I leave with a smile. Take it if, the other teacher for this class is not an easy A .
I thought Rob was awesome! He is very funny, friendly, helpful and just really down to Earth. We had 5 books to read, 3 essays to write (I got A's on all of them), and three tests, including the final. If you do the work as he expects, it's an easy class to get an A in. If you don't do the work, then you get what you earned!
An awesome teacher! Makes the class comfortable and fun! Make sure you read the books assigned because you will have to write essays about them.
Really easy class. Seriously you write a paper and you'll get an A. He's very clear on his requirements and a really cool guy. Take him for any class he offers.
Chill guy doesn't require much for his class all you read are like 3 books and do essay's on them other then that his very cool teacher and improves your writing skills
His class is really easy, we had to read 3 books and write 5 essays. It may seem like a lot of essays to write, but all his essays are easy and very clear. He is a very easy grader and I have gotten A's on almost all of them. He does have mini presentations after you write every essay, but it's nothing big that you have to prepare for. I recommend.
Great teacher! Odd sense of humor but he really does want everyone to do well. Doesn't give a real "final" and just wants you to show up ready to learn. If you attend most of the classes and write the essays your almost guaranteed to pass.
Great professor! It was early but worth waking up for because the time pass by. There is a lot of work but he does good in balancing them out. I would take him again!
Excellent teacher! Enjoyed the class and highly recommend. Makes students feel comfortable in class - no fear of a put down. Good guy. I wish he taught more classes at Stan.
Excellent professor, you will love his class. Love every moment of his class. Very entertaining, and learned a lot. Too bad there were not more professors or instructors like him, the drop rate would be very, very low. Thanks Professor Sledge for everything. I wish I could take your class again.
Excellent professor and class. You will love this class. i enjoyed every minute of his class. I wish I could take more classes with him.
I really loved his class. Lots of essays but the essays gave me another perspective. He wants you to really think outside the box, and see things from a different view. He can be intimidating, but he is hilarious.
He is such a great teacher really makes u think outside the box. Wrote a few essays but he isn't a tough grader. As long as he sees u read the material and you are not writing the essay the night before.
Took Sledge's class fall 2014? Anyways, Five essays and three books. He changes the books every semester from what I have heard. Each essay is only 4 pages and gives examples of what he expects. You give little (2 minute) presentations on your essays . He grades mostly on content. He is awesome! He is very blunt and funnyish! recommend
My man Rob comes hard with the giggles, hilarious professor! Be ready to write and read and than write some more. His class will help you become a stronger writer and most of the books he picks are interesting, MOST. Rob Pattinson Rob Sledge.
Great english professor. Five essays three books. Papers are only 4 pages long. He's funny, nice, and great. I hate english but he made me enjoy this class a lot.
Professor Sledge's class was pretty easy going. Definitely inspired me to critically think. He's a very inspirational and funny guy. His lectures are always exciting. There are 5 papers and 2 exams. After turning in your paper, you need to do a very short presentation on your paper. Professor Sledge has to be one of my favorite professors ever.
Rob is an awesome teacher! I loved going to his class. Very interesting to listen to. I found him to be inspirational. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Great instructor. 5 papers (short 2 min presentation required) 3 books 2 exams (no real final). 1 class discussion. He seems very intimidating at first but he is the best professor ever! Show up, read, and do the essays and you're home free! Would definitely take again!
An alright professor. I think people hype him up too much. He can be cool but his teaching style is odd. He's a pretty picky when it comes to grammar, so don't take him if this isn't your strong suit.
Honestly I didn't like Sledge very much at first (seemed kind of intimidating) but he wound up being probably the best teacher I ever had. Really smart soulful guy that likes to laugh with you. Definitely different, which is a good thing to me. I'll remember him. Recommend!
He has a super unique teaching style but I personally enjoyed his class. 5 essays, they were all very easy. Just show up and you are good.
Great guy! Funny dude! A very genuine person who cares about his students
If you hate writing or public speaking, don't take this class!!
This professor is definitely unlike any other professor I've had. He is very eccentric who not only loves his job but also his students. Expect to read and think with what he assigns in this class but it is all very doable. He does what he can in order for his students to succeed. Highly recommend this class with this professor.
Professor Sledge is pretty awesome! Class consists of lots of discussions about the readings and issues in society. I really enjoyed taking this class and I am not an English major. Although attendance is not mandatory, it will be difficult to pass if you do not show up.
Amazing teacher!
We had about 5 essays and for each one you have to do a minute presentation on it which I HATED because I would get anxiety from it, so imagine how my 10 minute debate presentation went. He grades the essays pretty harsh. I see that a lot of people like him but I honestly disliked him.
Rob gave clear honest expectations. Do the work as requested, participate/attend classes, turn work in on time! He wants students to succeed but you MUST follow the instructions in the syllabus. Even going online only mid-semester (Spring 2020) he stayed accessible, kept us reading, writing essays, using critical thinking and writing responses.
might as well scrap the books you're supposed to read because the only grading he does is on how well you can weave quotes in, no matter how well you understand the material. nice guy though
He seems like an awesome person in general so I gave him a 3. He expresses that he is rooting for you and wants you to succeed. His class has been the hardest class Ive taken at Stan. I chose it because it fit better with my schedule but I wholeheartedly regret taking it. I really try to do great but it seems impossible.
3 books, 5 papers, and some small assignments. The prompts are kind of difficult but should be fine as long as you try your best and reach the number of pages required. He isn't a tough grader. He actually reads the papers and gives amazing feedback. He truly wants you to succeed and learn from the material.
The main assignments are 5 essays and a few smaller assignments that are super easy. You need to buy 3 cheap books to read that correspond to 3 of the 5 essays you will write. Honestly, certain essay prompts can be a bit tough but the professor gives really good feedback. He's very passionate about his class and he makes his directions very clear.
Love love love
Professor Sledge is the BEST professor at Stan. He truly cares about his students. Participation is mandatory if you want a good grade, but he made class SO enjoyable so going wasn't bad. I hate English, and I thought I would dread the class, but he was so patient and gives so much feedback; The writing was so simple and lowkey fun. I LOVE HIM!
Quite simply, Dr. Sledge is awesome. The man finds beauty in everything and is truly a pleasure to be taught by. He helped me grow as a writer and challenged me to develop as a person through his awesome choice of texts and weekly reflections. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I get to take another class with him in the future.
You will have to get 3 books on which you will write a paper about each, all of the work given is easy, he posts videos explaining what he expects from all of them and he will give great feedback on it. Highly recommend.
Easy class. We only met once a week. If you miss more than two classes, you are dropped. Weekly essays. No midterm. The final is just a meeting with him discussing your grade. You read 3 books. Discussion posts every week and you have to create your own. Big part of grade with a small paragraph reflecting on how you did. Group work.
Engaging class with thoughtful discussions. Though essay prompts can be tricky, the prof gives excellent feedback. Attendance is a must, but unstuckstudy made prep a breeze.
-one of the most amazing professors I have had yet, and his class was so enjoyable.
