Makes english fun, and is very clear in explaining his assignments. Too bad he doesn't teach anymore.
Very understanding and willing to help you suceed. Scares you the first day then turns into a very good class that you wont dread going to each class.
I really liked Mr. Waller's class. He is an awesome teacher! He is willing to help, and wants everyone to pass. He is very open minded, and allows class discussions. I really enjoyed his class, and would reccomend it to anyone!
He still teachers, don't listen to the above. Was a great teacher, listened, held class discussions, and made english fun. Do study though, the notes he gives are important to the tests!
He is by far the best teacher that I have had at SCC. He made English fun. He wanted us to think and be open minded. I reccomend him to anyone.
THE BEST ENLGLISH TEACHER AT SCC. He will teach you about writing papers, and thought organization. He talks alot and doesn't mind discussing random topics. Goes off course sometimes, but ties it into the last part of his class. IF YOU WRITE WELL YOU WILL
Great teacher. Clear on what he expects. Open minded to all ideas. Makes writing fun. Extremely helpful. Obviously enjoys his job.
I got an A and it was easy. Go to class. Give a good effort on the few assignments and get an A or B. Cool guy. Is he still at SCC?Covers alot of black poeple stuff, but still interesting.
The best teacher I have ever had. If you truly want to learn, it will be a great experience.His was the only class that almost the entire class would stay past the time the class ended and continue the discussion. I hope he is still teaching
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! Teacher and would take any class offered.
I was dreading English 2 until I got Mr. Waller he is one of the best instructors at SCC. I took him this Summer in 6 weeks. He loke to teach on minority poets and situations. He's the best!! Likes to slack off at times, b/c he thinks he's underpaid. But overall He's the Best!!!!!!!!!
IT IS NICE TO COME TO CLASS AND ACTUALLY BE INTERESTED. HE FOLLOWS THE RULES BUT CAN RELATE TO HIS STUDENTS UNLIKE MOST STICK UP THE YOU KNOW WHAT TEACHERS. MAKES SURE YOU UNDERSTAND MATERIAL, VERY COMMICAL AS WELL. I AM ATTENDING HIS CLASS NOW AND SO FAR I LOVE HIM. IT IS NICE TO HAVE A TEACHER THAT BRIGHTENS UP THE NORMAL EVERDAY COLLEGE LIFE
Very easy class. Nice instructer. Not real serious about the class but makes English class more bearable for those who could care less about the subject. I really liked the fact that he has emphasized minority writers. Definitely a must take.
Professor Waller has a passion for the minority writers and poets. You think you know all about diversity but by the end of the course you feel what other people have felt. This teacher has a calling to try to make a difference in our world and he accomplishes it one person at a time. Great Course that you will enjoy.
DO NOT TAKE ANY OF ROBERT S. WALLERS’ CLASSES Robert Waller is a self absorbed & conceited. He talks down to his students while constantly (every day) bragging about all of his degrees. In English 1, he grades the student’s first paper extremely hard in order to “put the fear of god in them”. He does not enjoy teaching that I can see and always
Boring. Talks about his life and childhood the entire class, every class. Whole class is around minority poets as if he's amazed that there are other races out there. Extremely boring and annoying.
easy class have to use some head but if u attent the class u should at least get an A. He is alright as teacher but complaint a litle well half the class. I try to be like someone that teaches morality. he has cool points. easy a for me and i was hoping for a C on first day. stay on his good and be in class pay attetiion or enter a disccusion
MINORITY POETS ARE HIS BAG. INTERSTING BUT ISN'T JOKING ABOUT FAWILING YOU IS YOUR mla STYLE IS NOT PERFECT.GRIPE:CANT STAY ON TOPIC, TALSK ABOUT HIMSELF AND TALKS DOWN TO HIS STUDENTS A LITTLE
Mr.Waller is a wonderful teacher! He is very helpful and understanding. The only hard thing in his was the paper and three test, yea he puts alot of stress on how important it is to pass but with you only having 4 things to do why not do well?
so easy so nice all you have to do is show him that youre trying so easy once he sees that you want to succeed very willing to help you out with the way he grades
Fairly easy teacher. Fun class. just do your reading and do your paper. Grades papers pretty easy. He should teach other subjects.
Mr. Waller is a light in the dark places of academia. His English II class is a must take for those attending SCC. He really proclaims truth to a lost culture. He might be a tad bitter as a result of the lostness of our present time, but it can be hard not to be.
You should definitely take him for English!! He's an awesome teacher! He gives great feedback and if you show interest in your work, it'll definitely pay off. He's very understanding as well. He grades his papers fairly. He doesn't grade them harshly, just objectively. I would definitely recommend him!
You will love his class lecture. He makes it interested. Don't miss class, because it will be hard for you to catch up. For your research paper, he selects the topic. If you want a good grade in this class, make sure you have proper grammar in all of his essays.
Mr. Waller is the best! If you are a hard worker, you will love his class. For you slackers, my advise is to stay away from his class! His hot chili expired twenty years ago...but he still has a very cute smile.

Mr. Waller is a good teacher. Though he does go off topic a lot. He intends to do well. He seems to try to make himself out to be a big bad wolf, but he's just the opposite. You will make an A if you write your papers to his standards and attend every class. Great teacher, great experience. I'll be taking him for 1102 next semester.
Mr. Waller is a great English professor! I took him For English II, and got an A. He does talk a lot in his class, but he grades is papers easily, and there are not many assignments throughout the semester. Anyone should be able to do well in this class! Just attend class regularily and you will do fine!
HE IS A GOOD TEACHER ALWAYS GETS OFF TOPIC BUT IF YOU DO YOUR WORK YOU WILL BE FINE
Mr. Waller was by far the best english teacher i've ever had in my life, he jokes around and may get off topic but he makes his work very understandable and he has truly opened up a new world for me in English II, best english teacher.
he's a joke. he prides himself on preaching about life instead actually teaching english. i almost walked out of class. he assumes everyone took only standard classes and we all have kids and we lead awful lives. his indulgent boring tangents are irritating to those with brains. an entire class was a lecture about life. ridiculous. don't do it.
sweet man, really likes to help, is always there for you, cancels class alot. 1 vocab test, 1 short stories test. a drama review on any play, and a 5 page final paper on an african american or spanish poet. i got a b. it was just relaxed class.if you want someone down your throat and with crazy deadlines then dont take him hes very relaxed
Pretty straightforward prof. No homework to speak of outside of reading the assigned stories. Had 1 cumulative short story test, 1 vocabulary test, a group poem analysis, a 5-page research paper on a poet, a drama review, and a 60-minute timed writing. Would go on rants but they mostly added to the enjoyment of the class. Definitely recommended!
Great teacher. Wonderful class. Lots of discussion on the readings, which might lead the class off topic but it was always intelligent conversation and I found it riviting. He gets the class interested and involved. Fair and kind gradeer, no homework. Three exams. He has some health issues that might cause class to be canceled once or twice.
Definitely not an easy A class by any means simply because he makes you "think" unlike many others teaching here. Material is basically some short stories from the Literature book, essays on them FYI-Pay attention to his rules, this WILL matter come grading. Pay attention to detail & step outside the box while reading each story. Learned alot!!
I guess he must have been easier before! Yes, there are a few assignments to do but he has very strict rules to follow. My whole class agrees that he grades very difficult. Most of the class got a C on the first paper we had to write and we didn't even know why! He left no marks on the papers. He doesn't go over much and preaches about life!
To start off dont ever text in his class.. seriously. Paper assignments are pretty general. However if you want to know why you got a low grade on your paper you might as well ask your dog. He is not good about going over errors within your paper. Put time and effort into your papers and you should be fine. He cancels class often and NO FIANL Exam.
Great teacher nice guy. Can be tough but just wants you to learn. Half my class dropped because they thought he was going to grade really tough but he didn't. I got a B.
i took eng 1 and 2 with him. He is a very reasonable teacher.. just come to class and do your assignments.. he gives you the requirement for your reasearch paper and other assignments ahead of time and is willing to help and answer any questions you have. This class is an easy A.
He RANTS! about things that have nothing to do with English. Class is easy. Has three or four test that are easy. papers are easy to get a good grade on. this is an average proff. nothing special but not to bad. If you dont write or read well find a proff who has a better teaching style.
Prof. Waller was awesome. Had him for Eng. 2; he was clear on what was expected and his talks were very interesting. I would take him again in a heartbeat!
When this professor is actually discussing English, his class can be interesting and eye opening. He rants A LOT and he's not "PC" (see: respectful) when dealing with topics. Other than that he's a soft grader, but a grating personality. Not approachable! If you like tall tales and misinformation his off-topic rants can be very entertaining.
I love Professor Waller, he is funny and made English I very interesting! He is very helpful and any questions I had throughout the semester, he answered and gave me a clear understanding. I will love to take English II with Professor Waller!
If you not good in English this is the teacher to get. He is very helpful and is fair.
LOVED Waller! Even though he can get off topic his discussions can be very interesting. The essays you right can be easy as long as you just follow his guidelines for how he wants you to do things. He is very fair when it comes to grading and always willing to help or answer questions. He WANTS you to do good! just likes to see effort!
There is no way students can fail this class if they listen to Mr Waller and do their Assignments. Only unresponsible students fail this class.
Waller is BY FAR my favorite professor. He is not only approachable but he is a truly nice person. He is helpful, gives story examples, and is clear about assignment guidelines and due dates and is entertaining! He didnt assign excessive homework and his tests are exact to what we learn in class. I took him for english one and two. TAKE HIS CLASS!!
I took Mr. Waller for English I and II (rec'd an A in both) and he is such an excellent professor. Every assignment is clear to understand and he is always willing to help!! Take his class, you will be glad you did!
Mr. Waller is a really good teacher, i recommend taking him, he is really helpful and everything is pretty easy to pass in his class. rarely assigns homework, easy testss.
GREAT TEACHER! Best to take for English 1. He gets off topic alot so its usually an interesting class. Plus we usually got out early or didn't have class some days :]
Professor Waller is not a great teacher. He gets off topic way too much and expects you to know the material. Most of class time was spent talking about random topics. Class time wasn't used effectively. Learning was difficult with him, most of the course was in the book, and his tests were very specific.
Professor Waller was a good English teacher. I took him for English 1 and passed with a B. Just attend class & write papers how he wants then you should be okay. Just make sure all papers assigned are done by due date.
He was an awesome teacher. Very helpful and easy going. He makes it easy to get through a dreaded English 2 class! I took him for the summer A term and it was well worth it.
He is amazing and understandable. He goes off topic alot. His test are easy. Everything he lectures will most likely be on the test. PAY ATTENTION. Love this pro. He knows his stuff and is very helpful.
Gets off topic . very fun professor, nice guy, easy grader, and very friendly
He is overall very nice and fair. Attend class because some of his test questions come from lecture. Class is not tough but you cannot slack. He is very understanding. Gives loads of extra credit! His tests are fair only if you study and attend class. His easy attitude causes many people to slack and end up with horrible grades.
Professor Waller is a very personable guy. He was a delight in class and always kept things light. He does drift quite a bit through the lectures going off target, but you can tell it is because he wants to make a point to the class and it is often a life lesson. All things considered, I highly recommend him. Just do the work and you will pass
Though he was one of the easiest teachers, attendance was a must! I would of gotten an A if it weren't for that. He's really nice and understanding. Tests are easy and projects are fun. I would deff take again 1010 recomend
Waller is one of the easier English teachers, however, the class is still not a piece of cake. He gave very fun and interesting lectures, and is a great guy when you get to know him. Also, class gets out early sometimes and he is not super strict on tardiness. Overall an awesome teacher!
He's a good teacher
Good professor. Would take again!
This class was a little challenge for me. Was not the best class but I can say that the teacher did give some feedback not most but some. This professor is really good as far as telling you what he wants and expect out of the class. So he is ok. Just bare with him and you would get use to it and love it.
Excellent teacher! He is very clear with his expectations and due dates. He is there for you 100%, if he sees your willing to work hard and put in the effort. 4 papers to write and 1 midterm. No final exam. I came into this class with limited writing experience....I learned a ton and earned an A. Will take for ENC1102.
Waller is an amazing professor! He is always there to help you and give you feedback. He is clear in what he wants from his assignments and he will go over them in class. He will ramble a lot sometimes about his personal life but he is a very sweet person. Definitely recommend!
Tests are super easy all matching. He loves what he does and he's really helpful. Do the writing analysis assignments, it's not as hard as it sounds trust me you will get an A on all of them if you just do them and follow the directions. One research paper so not bad. I would take him again. He has a sense of humor. Expect a project at the end.
Professor Waller is a very good teacher. He tends to go off on tangents, but he's actually quite funny when he does. He is very willing to help and I would recommend taking his class. He's a stickler when it comes to parenthetical references for your research paper, so be careful.
Professor Waller is truly a great teacher!! He is very helpful and gives great feedback. He is encouraging and is willing to go above and beyond if you're having problems with your research paper; just meet with him during his office hours. Take this professor; you will not regret it. He will teach you the correct way to write any paper. Take him!
He's a great person, nice and genuine, but if your truly looking to learn I'd take another professor. Class lectures are mainly based around his personal life, and no, they arent funny or interesting, usually aggravating and time consuming, though you can tell he's just trying to bond with students. Easy A if you take time to study on your own.
Professor Waller is an amazing professor. He has you do 2 exemplification essays, a research paper. He explains very clearly how he wants you to write his paper. If you do it the way he wants then you will surely get an A in the course. He is not like the typical professor. He is very good and I highly suggest taking him. He is super chill
Great Professor! Lots of stores but they mostly relate to class!
Great prof. If you're looking for a good English class that isn't too difficult but you still learn this is your choice! I had Prof. Waller for an 8 AM and I thought I'd hate it but he actually made English fun. I'm lucky enough to have him for English 2 next semester!
easy class
Great teacher, made the students enjoy class. Easy A as long as you complete all the assignments.
very funny guy. easy grader. definitely will take him for english 2.
Easy class to pass! He gives you a good amount of time to do all of your work. Very easy to talk to. I'm taking him again for ENC1102!
Professor Waller is clear about what he wants. His class is not difficult at all. The tests were based off the short stories that he gave as homework and vocabulary and exempts you from final if you have an A. He is passionate about the final group project. Make sure you know MLA format for his essay.
Great teacher, makes lecture interesting. Easy A if you do all assignments. Very understanding and flexible.
He helped me with every essay by giving me pointers. hes easy to talk to if your having issues but you have to at least try. There are usually 2 essays and one VERY small research paper but he explains everything so well its a breeze.
During lectures he always gets off topic its annoying but he does teach good. If youre terrible like me with English then I recommend prof. Waller. He gives tips and help with essays. He gives 2 essay assignments and everything else is on canvas.
His lectures are boring and he talked about his son all the time. However hes a nice teacher and a easy class to pass, only two tests throughout the semester and the hw are super easy and you have to write only one essay for the semester. Hes not a tough grader at all. This class is a easy A I would take him again
waller is a good professor however it was tough for me because I couldn't understand the papers I was falling his classs n I wanted to withdraw but i ended up showing him that I could pass his class even when he didn't believe in me I got a c I'm thankful that he was tough on me
Some times goes off subject. Pretty easy work. Half the course switched to online with the pandemic which made the class really simple. Had to write 3 papers, 3-5 long, but still pretty easy. Would take again.
Prof. Waller is a really nice prof. who really enjoys teaching. He does have a tendency to go off topic, but I really think its because of he's genuinely a friendly guy and likes to talk. We had a fun group project at the end and like 2 papers. If you show up to class, participate and chit chat every now and again, you'll find that hes pretty cool.
Prof. Waller's online class (Remote Lecture) was so easy. Yes you will need to write papers, but his grading system is immaculate. I'm a crazy procrastinator (do not recommend lol) and I passed with an A+. Gives extra credit that is easy to complete, and lectures are super easy to attend. InQuisitive is required but its easy to pass.
One of the best professors at the college! I have already taken 4 courses with him, and will take more! He explains all the material in a very detailed way, and if you want to be a professional in finance you definitely need to take him! But be prepared for the whole 3-hour long classes and studying the material before the tests.
Hes a really great professor super sweet and considerate he does tend to go off topic ALOT if your looking to get an easy A this the class for you!
Professor Waller was great. He gave students many opportunities to succeed and truly seemed to care about the learning experience. I found the coursework to be very easy but nevertheless enjoyed this class. Definitely recommend taking him!
Professor Waller is truly a gem on this earth.
Take Professor Waller for English! He is honestly the best English professor, I was dreading the class because I hate writing essays but the topics and grading criteria were super easy. He's also really funny and his lectures are easy to understand. Gives extended time if needed for essays
Amazing professor. Cares about his students and their success. Has a very obvious passion for English and makes it interesting.
