Do NOT take him for 1102! He doesn't explain anything clear. His grading is inefficient; he'll give you an 80 on one paper...the next one you'll get an 86 (even though you didn't really change anything)....then an 81, then a high 80. Class is extremely BORING! Only excitement is favorites-thank god!

This is not a class where you will be able to track your grade throughout the semester. Papers are never back on time. When you go to class look at the student across the room, make friends with them because STUDENTS GRADE STUDENT TESTS. There is no lecture. For the tests, whatever he points out in the chapter... MEMORIZE! That is your test!

I didn't like this professor. To me, we are in college to learn, not to read pointless short stories and answer questions. Nor should we have to do assignments from his journalism classes when he runs out of ideas for his english classes. He was not helpful, and getting him to answer emails does not happen, and don't expect your papers back.

Although it isn't too hard to earn good grades on his tests, his papers are graded very hard. Know the notes he verbally gives you in class, since they are exactly what's on each test.

I think he's a great teacher. He's a lot of fun to have. He's really witty and I usually liked the stories we read and his opinions on them. The papers can be a little hard, but they're possible. He's got a great sense of humor and I like how laid back he is. One of my favorite classes this semester.

He is an odd teacher, yet I did learn quite a bit from him. This is not an easy class because he does grade pretty hard on the stories, but this is college and he grades how UF would so get used to it. Pay attention to his lecture about the tests because it is exactly whats on them. Lastly, be VERY familiar with grammar, it will help you a lot.

He's very odd. He jokes around a lot which makes the class kind of interesting.Liked the way he took attendance.He's a very tough grader on the stories and always told us that at UF we could lose a lot of points for mistakes on the stories.He barely teaches at all. I learned some, but wish I could have learned more since Journalism is my major.

Overall a poor professor. He's very vague and ambiguous, and never gives a straight answer. His absence policy is too strict; after 2 absences, every absence docks your grade a letter grade. He's also not very accommodating when it comes to medical related absences. He counted days I was in the hospital as unexcused absences. Would not recommend.

Ok class, he's super weird though. 4 essays, each 1/4 of your grade. Sometimes it was boring because he takes the time to explain the whole poem or story we're doing line by line. It would have been more interesting to write about other issues. I learned more about grammar than anything else. Get brownie points for going to the office hours.

Mr. Woehler seems intimidating at first but he's actually really funny. There are no tests or quizzes* and no final, but you have to write four essays (1000 words, not novels, alright?) and *turn in homework or it's Quiz Mode. The curriculum isn't super fun, but since most people take it for the credit anyway, who cares? Take Woehler. He's awesome.

You need to attend class because points will be taken off of your final grade if you miss more than two classes. Though you learn little to almost nothing in this class you have to attend class in order to not fail. Other then the three papers we had to write, that were poorly graded, I'm not sure what the class grade consist of.

The guy is an intelligent dude but good lord, he is probably the absolute most monotonous professor I've ever had. Same exact thing every single day...

He thinks he is better than everyone else. There is always something wrong with everything you write. I'd never made anything below an A on a college paper. I made a C on the 1st paper in this class. He talks about useless nonsense that makes you want to bang your head on the wall the entire class. Unless you have to have journalism, dont take him.

Professor Woehler says you get 3 absences and he means it. If you miss anymore your grade will drop a letter. He is funny, but we don't really learn anything. He doesn't teach you HOW to write correctly, he just EXPECTS you to write correctly. It's a shame that there is only one professor for journalism at Santa Fe. Also go to office hours.

I don't understand all the dislike for Professor Woehler. He is an excellent English teacher, and his grades are very fair. If you do not write well, he is more than happy to show you your mistakes. I guess people don't like him because he expects you to pay attention to your mistakes and actively correct them. Take him if you love English.

The lectures are him reading over the literary pieces line by line, sometimes multiple times. The papers aren't necessarily hard, but do yourself a favor and edit them 4-5 times, like he asks. Attend his office hours and get him to correct your paper. This made all the difference! Participating makes the time go by much faster!

His ENC1102 class is not difficult. His grading is not harsh and if you show up to class and do your homework, which is not much at all, you'll pass. The bad thing about his class is that he REPEATS everything he says. It's like listening to a CD stuck on the same track every lecture. Other then that,he's a nice guy that wants you to succeed.

I liked Professor Woehler, I just wasn't prepared for the fact that my entire grade would come from 3-4 papers. If you are fantastic at writing papers, then this is a breeze. If not, I suggest you look for a different 1102 class that will give you a variety of assignments. He does assign weekly reading questions but he does not grade them.
