One hell of a Professor --- Very eye opening - Extremely educated -- and REAL
I sign because Professor Comeau is my dad and he rules. the end.
Bob is the best. He made English really fun
he was the best professor I ever had! Very funny and lots of fun! Made me want to go to class.
He is a horrible teacher!! he does not give out a's.. how could you even tell your class that!!! your class suc|<s!
Had so much fun in his class...and yes it is possible to get an A just do the reading and you'll be set.
He is the best teacher I ever had. I will always remember him. I had 2 classes with him and both were great! He knows his stuff but always accepts others opinions. He makes his class fun and interesting. He talks to you and not down to you. L.H.
was a great professor and very funny. knows alot of stuff and not only english. gotta love those Sopranos!!!
He expects you to write 3 papers and you still come out of his class with less than a B.
I can't believe that Comeau got a hot pepper. JK. Great class, kept me coming. Really good material. I had a 4.0 average in my english classes and he gave me a B and screwed it up for me. But he's great.
He is an **** of a teacher, you do not get your grades on time at all, and he grades horribly, i suggest not to take him at all.
Comeau is a funny guy, he talked for the whole class and kept everything interesting. Just do the journal ,midterm, and final and you will be set. His class is good for some intelligent conversation and good insight!
If you begin his class on his friendly side than you will be set. He is very funny and easy. His grading is not all that good but he gives you a good break if you talk to him(easy to talk to) you'll have a blast in his class.
He's a total ****. Never discussed the readings or gave back papers, he just spewed his own political agenda at us because he loves to hear himself talk.
he didn't reach anyrhing, but was funny
he wa hot

Good teacher easy class, hard work. my favortie types of class. Do the work the gives you'll get a good grade.
Write a good first paper - it's likely the only one he'll get around to reading. He'll just grade the rest on how the first one was, and how they look at a glance. (Don't expect them back before the ened of the semester.)
biggest waste of time in my life. all he did was talk about politics, beer, and baseball. he made us read about philosophy and then would never discuss the readings. whenever asked a question he would answer with a question and you would learn nothing. waste of time and money. do not take him if you value your time.
very unclear about the work he requiers. its nice to have a teacher lazier than me.
I think that we need more teachers like him to open up students minds. Yes, he would talk about topics other than the text but it is all credible information you could use in other areas of your life. Take him and see how intelligent he really is. This taeacher is absoultely more than limited.
He is an interesting teacher- he is very interesting and uses the text and relates it to everyday situations-He made the class as interesting as it could possibly be made.
Very interesting class, He talks a lot about life in general including the readings. Lot of hard work. have to write 4 pages in our journal every week. the writing has to be our opinion on the readings and to write any comments about the readings that we have
He talks too much about nothing, and his jokes are sad. He should retire, and let the students teach each other.

His classes are mostly about him talking, sometimes off topic, but always relevent to the main subject. He's a lazy grader but a fair guy. He says he doesn't give out A's but that's part of his "bulls**t" (his words, not mine). Write what you're thinking about in your journal, do good essays, and you'll get an A.
He's a cool guy. I never had a professor curse as much as him though. Everything was F this and F that, BS this BS that. But he's cool overall. I didn't know someone could talk for over 3hrs straight. I took his class during the Summer 1 session (American Lit) from 6pm to 9:45pm. Believe it or not, he talked the whole time!! Most of it was off topi
cool professor, not borin you can always be awake in his class. fair grader, to the journal entries, read the book and do the essays. you should get an A. hes nice
Nice guy! If you do you papers and write the jounal, you'll be fine! He talks most time of the class, it's amazing...he should be a woman :) But he is very helpful, should you have a problem! Just talk to him!Kepp up the good work, Prof. Comeau!!!
Someone said this prof is horrible because "he does not give out 'a's". no professor should "give out" any grade. you should EARN your grade!
He's a great professor! He mainly talks during the class. Write the journal and do a the papers. If you read the material, it's really easy. Just show up! I got an A, thanks Professor Comeau, your great!!!
As long as you do you Jornals and write your papers it is an easy class. I liked this professor but I am glad I had Dr. Meeks for Eng 101 because this professor is not very clear on giving directions for his papers.
I liked him somewhat. He is very reasonable and funny! I,although, would not take his class again.
You have to come to class. There are two papers, a journal, and both midterm and final (take home). He'd be a great guy to talk to at a bar. However he drones on and goes off on tangents during class. If you don't mind that, he's your guy.
Boring and talks way way too much. He is very lazy and does not give out A's, mostly all B's and some C's. He is not like your average english professor, he does not go over how to write a paper or at least the format he would like for his papers. Reading the text will help, which the essays are based on the text.
I didn't think his class was boring. he does talk A LOT, but if you listen closely you'll realize that his seemingly random stories somehow tie to the situations of the characters we read about. really funny and laid back, but I can easily tell he is well educated and SMART. I sat in the first lecture and after 15 ins I knew I would enjoy it.
Stay away from Mr Comeau it does not teach. Waste of time and waste of money
This proffessor is great in my opinion. I took him for both ENG 101 and 102 and recieved a good grade. Yes, he talks alot about many things, but he shares interesting ideas. Very laidback, open-minded, and easy. And if you need help just ask, he'll be glad to help. He wont say anything until you ask. I recommend him
Listen it is very simple, if you have the oppertunity to take Comeau.... DO IT! he is extremely laid back doesnt care about attendance and will give out extensions to papers without reducing the grade comeau is every student's best friend... take him!
this guy rules. he really understands the students
Prof. Comeau may seem like a rambling fool, but if you force yourself to tune in, you'll realize that he's actually tying in what we've read into his stories. Sure, he can get off topic A LOT. But in general, he's not a bad teacher. I'd definitely recommend him.
This is one of my favorite professors in college. he is so intelligent and i learned a lot from him. he's hilarious. i looked forward to this class everyday. i would reccommend him to everyone
Absolutely loved this professor!!! His knowledge on how the world works in comparison to any subject or book is astonishing!! Just attend class (doesn't really care) and put effort in your work. He's open to any questions during and after class. Can't wait to take him again.
Professor Comeau is the man. 'Nough said. If you pay attention, and do what he says, and you're guaranteed an east "A".
HE DOESNT HELP AT ALL. HE GETS OFF TRACK ALL THE TIME, HE CURSES IN EVERY SENTENCE, HE TRIES TOO HARD TO BE "COOL". YES HE IS COMPREHENSIVE WHEN IT COMES TO PUSHING DUE DATES AROUND BUT THATS ONLY BECAUSE HE DOESNT LIKE GRADING PAPERS. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND TO PPL THAT WANT TO LEARN.
Prof. Comeau is awesome! He's easy. You just have to understand real live and know that he brings in a lot of examples. Try talking in class even though he's talking. He likes opinions. He's also very funny. Won't care too much if you don't show up but hand in your work.
the class was kinda boring and he doesnt really care alot about attendance. there wasnt alot of work that we had to do besides writing journal enteries and a midterm and a final. he doesnt seem to b a helpful teacher but in the end i passed so i guess i cant complain
My fav college class by far. I looked forward to attending every week. The assignments were very easy. Just a few papers and some journal work and that was it. He's extremely laid back, and is willing to work with you outside of class. He extremely intelligent and funny. Hard to participate in class when he just keeps talking but he likes his voice
VERY chill. Have a conversation with him so you can get to know him and so he can get to know you. Great guy. He knows his stuff but he puts it out there if you want to learn. Either or, really. He talks a good amount but whats an english class usually about? Literature and whatnot.. Take him and go with the flow. Go with the flow.
Great Teacher I Learned Something.
He gets too off course and I havent handed in ONE paper because he confuses me about what the paper is about. I havent showed up to that class in almost 2 weeks. When I asked him to email me a syllabus, he never did.
Must turn in 40 journal entries at the end of the semester. There is a midterm and a final. A lot of challenging readings to do. It takes time ! He turns in the assignments late so it is difficult to keep track of the grade. When doing the midterm & final just write more than required,& give specific details in order to get higher than C.
He is really the best teacher ever !! Yes he does get off of track but all you have to do in his class is 4 papers and all your journals and you will pass the class. If you do not understand the assignment just wait untill class is over to ask him again and he will get straight to the point. Besides that he's the BEST and VERY EASY (:
Hate this class. I haven't actually learned anything. If you want an easy A, go ahead but it was a waste of what should have been a fun class.
He does go off track but if you opened your minds a bit more, you would learn from his lectures. He chooses stimulating, important material (for the most part) to read and shares a lot of his overall knowledge. I had no problem learning some enjoyable, real life information from him. Highly recommend him if you think outside of the academic box.
This was a fun class. The lectures were very fun. You had to write a journal and do a few short papers 3-5 pages in length. The journaling was very fun and easy for me. The lectures were all over the place by Professor Comeau but they were entertaining and enlightening and he tied them into the material.
He is a very nice person but I wouldn't recommend to take one of his classes. He gets off topic a lot. I didn't learn anything in his class. It was actually frustrating to go to class. I paid for the class and would like to be taught the material in the syllabus not learn about a Disney movie or politics.
Typical English professor, constantly spouting off his political views. A lot of students think he's "fun" or "cool", but they're too blind to see the course for what it really is. Liberal Indoctrination 101. If you take this course you will probably realize that the humanities are B.S, if you're smart, you'll change majors for something useful.
His class is very confusing because he gives assignments but doesn't explain much about it so you you have to figure things on your own which it makes it hard if you are taking other classes... he might be cool but that's not why I'm in his class. I want to do my job and go home,. I don't want to hear Politics and Government issues
Nice Guy, but this class just kinda sucks. Too much reading about old dead guys.
Very interesting English prof. with expertise in other areas outside his subject, making the class highly interesting and you will leave class knowing facts. Essays are long but now you're in college, expect do to work and not enjoy. Very cool and non stress class. Expect journal writing which I found useful in correcting my day to day grammar.
He is a really great guy but he is so easily distracted. I haven't learned one thing in the class. He is super understanding and gives out extensions on papers but still doesn't teach anything. Attendance isn't mandatory but if you want to have the slightest idea of when things are due or what is going on at least get someones number
Best teacher ive ever had. Super cool, and really laid back.
Wouldn't recommend this professor. He spent more time talking about politics and personal subjects than actually teaching the class. If you have to take the long lecture sessions, be prepared to listen to him reading the book word by word. Also, be prepared to write an awful lot.
I honestly would not recommend this professor to any student. He's alright, but talks a lot about random things. There's no homework, except for the journals that he'll pick up around the finals and midterms. The only time we received a test was for the midterm and final exams. THAT'S IT. just like someone else said, if you need an easy A, take it.
Professor Comeau is brilliant. Very well informed on William Shakespeare. He definitely knows how to lecture but it's up to you to dissect what needs to be written in your journal. If your not prepared to work do yourself a favor and stop occupying a seat that would otherwise be useful to someone to someone who does.
Get ready to sit and listen to the story of his life, mixed with a misconstrued understanding of the readings and what's going on in the political world and his thoughts on that. Not the worst class in the world but definitely not something to look forward to taking. Tough grader get those spark notes ready if your not american literature savvy.
He pretty much talks the whole time. He doesn't take attendance, he doesn't seem to care if papers are in on time, he takes forever to give papers back, and he's suuuper vague about assignments. It was just plain boring more than anything else. Most papers are 3-5 pages with about 5 total essays. Easy, but I wasn't inspired or amused 90% of it.
Long lectures on content irrelevant to english. Be prepared to have his political inclinations shoved down your throat.
Very good and very understanding. He does not assign homework or give tests. He assigns about 4 or 5 papers a semester and a journal that you must write a page in about 4 times a week. It is very important to show up in order to complete the journals because they have to be written about class discussions.
I thought I was in a public speaking class where we learned about politics and the professors personal views of corruption in the U.S. government. Then he'd expect a paper due and I'd remember we were in English class. Very boring class and material is irrelevant. Professor is not helpful at ALL. RUN while you still can!
Forget about this being an English class. It is more like Comeau 101. You will learn all about him, his friends, his life, and his political opinions. He demands a lot of work and puts little work into teaching his class. Save yourself the headache and the money, look for another professor.
Easy class no homework or test only papers to write
Professor is really boring but, if you do the few assignments he gives you'll be able to pass. It's a few essays and a journal you have to write in the whole semester based on the book or film being talked about in class. goes off topic often. hands papers back very late. Attendance not mandatory.
good professor, we had four to five paper and write in a journal. if you miss class then it going be hard for you to write about the lectures that he was talking that day. no homework and no quiz
Funny and nice guy. Goes off on a tangent. Does go over material enough. He's ok but there are better English profs
He definitely talks a lot and is funny; if you arent social or dont want to hear lecture, then this class isnt for you. Otherwise, hes a very smart man and has a lot to say about life and will help you if you ask him. Just make sure you are an adult and keep track of the things that you need to hand in (4 papers+Journal); or else you'll fail.
honestly one of the best professors I've had in this school. Yes he will make you work and read and write papers but he's a fair grader and if you do your work and hand in your journals you will be fine! plus he makes you become interest in Shakespeare need I say more? by the way this was a summer class.
Will go off topic in his lectures and gets distracted. Funny although some might not get his dry humor. Do his journals and papers you'll be okay also gives you a midterm and final which aren't hard at all. He's very understanding if you have any trouble just meet with him he'll come up with a solution.
He talks on and on and on. You do 2 or 3 essays, nothing no one can't handle. He sidetracks a lot when he talks. He doesn't give any homework, and he doesn't give tests or quizzes. He doesn't make you read books, the most you'll ever do is watch a movie and read some poems. He doesn't take attendance. It's an easy A as long as you do the essays.
Worst English professor ever. Rambles on and gets lost in what hes saying and starts talking about his ex wives son who lives with him and his dog. Theres no communication between the class and him, he lectures the entire time.
He does talk a lot, about random things, but yet he manages to tie in with the readings from class. He assigns journal entries, i think like 4 a week and a couple of papers. it's not so bad, his class does get boring cause he talks about literally anything in regards to him, food or politics. just do the journal entries and papers, then you're ok
All in all the class went well. This was a summer course and assignments were consistent so you know what is expected. The grading seemed tough but the material was interesting.
He is the toughest grader I've ever experienced. Most English professors are generous with grading especially for ENG 102 because we review Shakespeare's sonnets and old english, you would think some slack would be cut. However, this is another level of tough. Be weary of this before taking this summer course, online.
I took his class in the winter semester. He uploads notes for every class, which is very helpful. There are ten journals and four formal papers. He wants us to understand the topics and explain them in our words. If you do your journals on time, you will be fine.
Comeau is generally a decent professor. He assigns work but takes what you have whether it's on time or not. He's hilarious and doesn't stay on topic. If you like to be challenged, he isn't for you. He's pretty chill and understanding as well. If you lack with comprehension and/or looking to further perfect your writing, I wouldn't recommend him.
Great Professor for English 101, I will be taking him for ENG-102.
The assignments and subject is not hard at all BUT the amount of work makes you wanna drop this class. You’ll pass if you get everything done but think twice before taking his class in the winter.
Certainly not the worst professor but also not for the faint of heart. Attendance was not mandatory but if you don't show up prepare to teach yourself the texts you'll be writing about because most are not easy reads. You will have a 3-page paper due weekly so if you hate reading and writing, avoid him. His lectures are just him talking for an hour
Professor Comeau is witty and knowledgeable about literature and culture, and he always finds a way to make his lectures interesting. Comeau also clearly cares about the material he professes about, and the work he assigns is pretty straight forward, but thought provoking and encourages growth. I recommend this course highly.
All he does is talk for the entire class. If you raise your hand he immediately shuts that down and doesn't let anyone speak in the class. Any opinion that he disagrees with is wrong and he's the only one who knows the truth. Take Prof. Ciampi instead
Took Him for 101 and 102 ENG great teacher , lectures could be better but overall he just speaks his mind and matches it with the corresponding Readings . Respectful , workload is definitely manageable NO TEST , NO QUIZZES just weekly Journals and a few papers which can be challenging at times. I would take him again
Interesting but takes effort. Weekly 3 page journals, 2 Shakespeare (have to read all of Hamlet) essays and 1 on an author from the readings. Other ones are Chopin, Fitzgerald, Faulkner, etc. Need 1k words every journal for full credit. Not an "easy" gen ed but you can get through if you use online analyses to understand stuff better.
He's funny, talks a lot so we don't learn much. I don't mind that's what made the class easy you don't even have to show up. BUT beware of how much you're going to have to write. The weekly journals took me out but you have a week to write them learn from me and don't do it last minute. Essays were way easier than the journals. Poetry based class.
Very enjoyable class, workload was light in comparison to my STEM classes, and the professor seemed to really enjoy the content we went over. The professor also provided really insightful notes on each of the readings for the week. Wish I was able to take in person, would've probably enjoyed even more.
Really calm class. Don't do anything it's more at home work. But he talks from start to finish about bout nothing
