He is very supportive of his students. He is an intelligent person who is very passionate about his work.I have learned a geat deal from his lectures.He is very clear about his assignments.He should be nominated for most excellent professor of this era.

I took Marheine for 1A and i like the way he taught so much that i'm taking him in 1B now. He's a great teacher but you do have to work for your grade.

I stumbled on to this professor, but I was happy that I did. He's teaching style is the best all assignments are clear and easy to understand. He is more then willing to help if you are willing to put for the effort.

He's helpful, ask questions, and he wants you to participate. He wants you to learn what the gov' is not telling. The main final is an essay on Globalization- you can pick any topic relating to it, just make sure you get the approval first.

Superb teacher -- made my writing so much better, very thoughtful and brilliant. One of two or three best in English department, and I am an English major

Very funny person. He will help you the best he can. The papers were hard, and the lectures were interesting, but a little too political (I got lost in some of the lectures). He's a nice man who will pass u as longs as he sees you're trying.

He makes learning fun.

Mr.Marheine is an excellent professor. His teaching style is very expressive and clear. He will make his point in any way that he can in order for us to understand the point. His lectures are long but nobody falls to sleep. Thanx :- }

Marvelous professor. Extremely interesting and informative lectures; good sense of humor; thorough in what he covers. Very passionate and adamant about his liberal views. Learned a ton. Not an easy grade, but more challenging than difficult. Highly rec'd.

Professor Marheine is the best English Teacher I have ever had!!! I highly recommend him!!! He's caring, understanding, nice, VERY INTELLIGENT, and funny, too! I learned so much from talking his class. Take his class if youre up for the challenge&not lazy

Roger is a "hard" professor, if you don't like to think. He actually gives a crap about his students. If you're looking to actually learn something (heaven forbid!), take his class. He's probably one of the most human professors here.

I have to admit that Mr. Marheine was one of those professors that I will remember for a long time. He taught me to "open my eyes" to a lot of issues. He does talk about his personal opinions about political issues &tries to persuade you to thin

Excellent

omg this teacher is CRAZY! i should have never taken english 1c. good lectures though i guess, if you are an english major. but he's CRAZY. smart guy but damn! what i liked was that, no homework, just 4 papers, and the presentations aren't graded.

best english teacher i have ever had!!!!

Not only is he my favorite english teacher, he is my favorite teacher ever, one i will never forget. You can have fun and learn with someone who makes learning interesting. I always looked forward to go to class with him. Fantastic!!!

Wise and experienced in life, this professor passes on wisdom, instead of merely teaching.

hey People, Prof lectures history becoz that is background inform & very helpful to understand the book.Pro M is very humor,kind and clear Prof.He also broadens our horizon.Books we read are so interesting.Highly recommended this professor.

Marheine is bright, literate, and respectful of students. He is liberal (very interested in labor issues) and makes no bones about it. The videos he screens, while provocative, seem only remotely relevant to course subject matter.

good teacher...but hard

Hes a great teacher and will help you with any questions that you might have

HE makes the class so much fun!! I love the way he lectures. I really enjoyed his class this summer and looking forward for the Fall.

Roger is arguably one of the best professors @ PCC! We only had a total of 3 essays for the whole semester. One 5, a 10, and for the final a 4 pager(in class essay) though he will allow his students to take it home if they don't like writing it in class

wonderful teacher. always willing to help you improve and encourages class discussion and expressing personal views. the books he chooses are easy to write essays for because their subjects are not that hard to understand and are interesting.

Mr. Marheine is a very intelligent man. His class is super interesting because of the subjects he discusses. He teaches you how to write and also important issues in life.

Very interesting lectures. He encourages class participation a lot. Usually English 1A/B/C are subject oriented, so expect world history, issues and a lot of thinking. Critical thinking, and social consciousness needed for this class.

man, this teacher is the best he knows a lotta stuff he was ok on the grading, but the things that he talk about is very VERY interesting. also, he's freakin funny...!!!Gotta take his class if not u guys r gonna miss out

I really enjoyed his classes (if I took him for both English courses, that's a given!) He's funny, very intelligent, helpful, and world-conscious. He makes you open your eyes to that world. Highly recommend!

the most important professor at PCC. Initiates global perspectives/ideas instead of spending all day lecturing on where you are supposed to put a comma. Knows what's up.

I took him for both English 1A and 1B and he is by far the best English professor at PCC. He is extremely clear and as long as your essays are clearly presented you will do well in his class. He is very flexible and cares about modern issues. Funny too.

He is only a hard teacher for those who don’t want to put in the work. Eng1A is a college level composition course so you must be ready to do college level work. He will make you a better writer through thought provoking subjects. I highly recommend him and will take him again for the 1B class.

Took two of his classes -- a brilliant man. He helped change some of my views on politics and race. I argued with him a few times, and lost -- and even though he knew I didn't agree with him, he was kind and fair. He and Marheine are terrific.

Best english teacher! If you don't like english he is the best prof. to take. He basically gives you the outline of the papers he assigns during class discussion so take all the notes you can.

This is judged by a tutoring session (I haven't taken his classes): helpful; was willing to go in depth, despite my not being one of his students; encouraging; pleasant conversationalist; has a sense of humor. Based on this, I would want to take one of his English classes.

one of best teachers I've ever had. Little tough on grading, but well worth it. Makes you think about the world around you. Highly effective...fun class...and I hate English...but his class was enjoyable.

Marheine's class is not an easy ride. Yes, he does spend a lot of time on current events but why shouldn't he expand our minds? We're in college to learn. I loved his class and I feel like I have grown as a person because of taking his class. I recommend him HIGHLY.

He is a brilliant professor forces you to think outside of your immediate scope. Do not bother taking his class if you do not want to think and plan on being ignorant.I highly recommend his class.

Most important professor at PCC. This is the Ideal professor please if you have any kind of intellectual thirst at all take his courses.

You will not be bored for one minute in his class! He just know how to teach! Like his humor, too. You'll miss a lot if you don't meet this genious. He is not easy, so don't get too excited. He is just, as I believe, every professor should be.

This class is very helpful for your educational life. but it's just too hard to get a good grade. The books and movies he recommended were informative. Take him if you want to learn, dont take him if you want a good grade.

I must give credit where credit is due, this is an amazing professor. Even though I don't always agree with his politics, he's always fair and helpful. Though him and I disagreed on many topics, I worked hard on my essays and got a good grade.

the best teacher i have ever had..... periord!

intersting class & passionate prof. -- really a 'learning' class

The Best English Professor I have ever had. Very politically, and philosophically Charged. This class REALLY made me think, it wasn't too hard nor was it easy. definately one of the best teachers on the PCC campus. I would highly recomend taking any english class you can get with him.

Very interesting class, goes in depth and allows one to think outside a limited a biased culture. it is not advisable to disagree with him though just go along with his ideas and you should do just fine

His style of teaching makes the class interesting.

Most important professor on campus, bar none. People who down him are just those who are still clinging to the myth of the american dream, and th idea that they are going to someday be Donald Trump. Better luck winning the lottery, you sheep.

I think there's a sizeable distinction between a professor that is open and honest about their personal beliefs and a professor that caters to those who share them. Roger is definitely the former, though some people here accuse him of otherwise. He encourages disagreement as long as you come up with a well-constructed argument, as it's happened a lot in both of my classes with him. It's all done with a dialectical approach to education, and that sort of approach wouldn't be functional without disagreement.

Brilliant mind, genius. Difficult, but makes you think. Very fair and will work with you. Want quality take him.

Marheine absolutely changed my life. Opens your eyes to realities that many people do not seem to acknowledge. If you want to learn something valuable take this class. I will never look at the world the same way, the class is awsome.

R. Marheine's class will either fuel you with passion, anger you with rage, or do both. He lays down what some will call his heart and others his agenda. To some he is slanted and bias, to others a beacon of truth. Whatever you believe in Marheine will challenge you to think, even if u disagee with him. I did on many issues and got an A.

He is one of the most important instructors at PCC in that he teaches social equality from a humanitarian angle. His lectures are thought provoking, philosophically deep, and biased towards the left, but he will not penalize students who construct good papers of opposing viewpoints. He is a brilliant instructor with an important message to convey!

not only the best english teacher i have ever had, but the best teacer ever!! He is very passionate about teaching and his students. highly recommended!

THE MEASURING GAUGE FOR EVERY PAST AND PRESESNT TEACHER(S). RAISES THE PEDAGOGICAL BAR TO UNPRECENDENTED HEIGHTS. SIMPLY THE BEST. IF YOU ARE GREAT, THEN HIS TEACHINGS AND HIS CLASSES ARE GREAT, BUT IF YOUR ARE MEDIOCRE, THEN YOU WILL BE LOST FOREVER IN HIS CLASSES.

Great teacher, he has a vast knowledge of many subjects and truly brought out the writer in me. Passionate about teaching and about helping students achieve their potential.

I took his classes 10 years ago, but I remember his classes as if they were last week. They changed the way I thought about education and many other institutions in our society. I couldn't have fallen as deeply in love without this mentoring - with the written word, and another. Nor would I have become a teacher. Thank you, Marheine!

Marheine is the last of the radical profs. He's an awesome professor, knows how to challenge and inspire his students. He has a political agenda, but more than most professors seems respectful of those who disagree. Your grade doesn't hinge on agreeing with him, which is cool. It is a lot of work, and he is a stickler for effort and quality.

do all your rough drafts so he can look at it or his TA can look at it. do everything on time and your life will be alot more easier. do fall behide on any reading and assignment, it would be hard finish everything in a rush. you'll learn something interesting and insightful in his classes.

1A, 1B. The greatest professor to have ever graced the classroms of PCC. You will be excited to attend class, be interested throughout the entire class, be tempted to participate because he makes it so fun, and learn more than you thought you would! Take notes, listen, & show true effort on papers. He's not a slack off, you'll do well & like it

If your brain is above average, then you'd do fine. As an average student i got a fair C, despite that I worked my butt off...In this class it felt like I'm taking ENG and HIST at the same time because he is really into history. ..but overall he's a funny and random professor and understandable too as well as fast paced. He's a cool dude.

This class is hard. He is not a very compassionate teacher. He's definitely a good talker though. I remember him as being VERY Pessimistic... and Very picky with Essay format... if you want an Easy English class. .. Don't take his. Take this class if you want a REAL CHALLENGE. you might fall out of your seat.

His english 1C class is a tough class... but interesting... beware if looking for a good grade...

this teacher looks hard because he talks about politics all the time BUT he is funny and outgoing if you are having a hard time he will help you. i do recommend this class. students who complain about him are just lazy and want an easy class. all he wants in his essays is for you not to be wordy. you will learn a lot from this class!

I have a 3.1 G.P.A. and got a C. I didn't put to much effort into his class. Definitely not an easy class. Their are many essays which pretty much sum up your entire grade. All books/texts reflect liberal politics primarily revolutionary ideologies. He's helpful but not a very lenient grader.

If you don't mind sitting through 18 weeks of history and politics, reading about torture, mutliation and suffering, then you will enjoy his class. He is a good teacher, his lectures are animated except for his morbid sense of humor. Actually, the whole theme of the class, the readings ... everything is morbid.

This professor changed my life. Yes, his papers are HARD, and you really shouldn't take his class if you have no interest in history or politics. But this is college people, you should expect to work hard. He is just trying to prepare you for university life. Great guy, sense of humor, great help one on one. Take him,you will learn SO much.

I throughly enjoyed my time in Marheine's class. I took him because he was a lot of fun to work with in the Writing Center. He's one of those people who truly listens to what you have to say... not just like, I-have-to-be-polite listen, but you're-the-only-person-in-the-room listen. Pushes a Marxist/left wing agenda, but is open to discussion.

he was clear and helpful. always connected what we had learned to what we were now learning. his assignments arent hard and he's very good at discussions.

I took his English 1C class and it was awesome. The material we covered during the semester was thought provoking and challenging. He graded hard, but fair. A must for English majors!

His Eng 1B class is WAY better than his 1C class. i thought 1B was fun & i learned a lot. & the essays weren't too bad. i like how he give many short essays & only 1 or 2 big ones. I don't really like his 1C class much since he goes so deep into politics. He does have a sense of humor, & his deadlines are stretchable. very understanding prof.!

I loved his 1B class and made a point never to miss a lecture. The essays are challeging, but hey, my writing improved A LOT over the course of the semester. If you want to take an English class that will enhance your critical thinking skills, this is the one for you. If you're looking for an easy A, don't even think about it.

Cool professor, class discussions are engaging.

Expectations are too high for an ENG 100 class. This professor usually teaches eng 1c and should lower his standards. I do not recommend taking this teacher.

Took him in the late eighties. Teaches the great thinkers. I grew a lot in his 1A and 1B courses. Highly recommend!

he is a great prof. u cant miss his class

HE gave me a D on his class, hes not easy. If youre not good in english dont take him!! its a lota reading, and essay writting, critical on papers!!!

My favorite professor in my college experience. Very knowledgeable in many areas besides English such as history, political science, history and philosophy. He may be intimidating early in the semester, but if you put effort, he will reward you. Very fair in grading. Most importantly, you will learn A LOT from his class; great class discussions!

What can I say about Marheine?! He is a brilliant man. He is personal & provides feedback as necessary. Instead of filling your head with useless knowledge he challenges the students to learn about the war and current issues. His motto: clear understanding & exposition in the least amount of words! I plan to take him for the rest of my ENG!

Amazing! He knows so much about so much ... I couldn't believe myself at times, how a person could be so passionate and knowledgeable. I believe he is one of the most astounding professors in PCC. He is helpful, kind and so awesome.

This guy is pretty funny. He's a good teacher and he's there to help you. All the things I've heard about college being uncaring of your learning, etc. is false with this guy. His class won't bore you either.

The professor is extremely insightful and makes the class interesting. He invites open discussion and provides a great learning experience.

MARHEINE ROCKS!!! SO ANYONE WHO DISSAGREES IS TRYING TO ACHIEVE THE AME DREAM; PORCHE, POOL, ETC. AND WILL BE COMPLETELY ANNOYED IN HIS CLASS. AND ANYONE LOOKING FOR AN INTERESTING CLASS AND FOR QUALITY EDUCATION WILL BENIFIT GREATLY. I WILL NOT SAY HE IS MY HERO BECAUSE THAT WILL DEFEAT THE WHOLE POINT OF HIS CLASS, BUT HE COMES VERY CLOSE TO IT!

I agree to disagree. I am on the fence with this prof as a prof. However, he is fantastically helpful if you just ask, he cares and though his class is definitely biased, acknowledges an intelligent argument whether or not he agrees. I think he's work taking if only to challenge your own nature of reality. Lenient grader in his English 57.

What can I say about Marheine? No other College English teacher will give you the quality of learning like he does! He makes you challenge norms and is a major activist. Very caring of all students in class. His subjects are so interesting they are mind-blowing! GREAT professor. If you don't try than don't expect to pass. This is college people

He is an outstanding college professor. He challenges you to think outside of the box. He has great knowledge on his field and cares a lot about his students. He teachs things that you can apply later on in your life. He is not an easy professor, nevertheless, he is totally accesible to the students.

Amazing Professor, period.

My favorite prof at PCC!

He has favorites. He likes people who agree with his beliefs. If you want an A in his class you gotta brown-nose, and be his little girl. If you disagree in your essays, you will fail. You were warned.

His class may seem hard because he challenges to think outside of the box. However, he is very knowledgeable and accessible to his students.

Lectures are politically relevant. Passionate teacher--kind, warm, intelligent, funny (dry). Learned a lot. Values strong, thoughtful opinions. Very helpful. Made a strong impression. A memorable professor.

English 1A obviously a challenging course, Professor Marheine not only teaches his students how to write on a collegiate level, but also strives to make his students socially aware and responsible. His class is one that if I had not taken it, I would consider myself one who would have lost much. Extremely fulfilling course...

Expect to earn your grade here!!! Does not let you just "sleep" through class, will call you out if you try! Read the material, write how it affects you, and you can do well...

I took Roger's class back in 1986. I still remember him today as one of the finest instructors I ever had. Roger taught his class from a very personal perspective and challenged all of us to analyze the literary pieces through our own personal frame of reference. 25 years later, I'm glad I had the privilege of enrolling in his course.

Very politically oriented. Class time was more like an open discussion on the required readings. Fair grader if you actually put effort into your work. Had to attend 3 off campus events on weekends and write about them. Learned a lot about current situations in the world/US.

Great Professor; had him for 1B! Sometimes the class felt more like a history/polisci class than an English class, but he was very interesting and knew exactly how to keep the class entertained. Most of the required readings have now become some of my favorites books.

If your not good with writing essays then don't take him. I've rewrote many essay papers for better grades and did extra credit. I didn't make it.... Even the try hard and attending class everyday won't help you. Rethink about this class before you actually consider.

IS a great prof. This class changed the way i see life now. It opens your eyes to things that u did not think about. His essay topics are hard and his grading on essays is very strict. But if you do not pass one he lets you revise it once for a better grade. NO real text, just small books and he goes over the books. MUST TAKE!

Very interesting books and group discussions. Learned a lot about history, philosophy, and politics. Definitely worth taking.

Great professor, dedicated to students, gets them involved. Class is hard, but if you work properly and you write what he says in class you should get an A. A lot of work.

Amazing professor. Devoted to helping and teaching. i think i may have failed his class but i would gladly take it again if i did.

The literature was kind of boring, but if political science of history is your major this is your class. He is a funny guy who just wants everyone to learn something. I am very lucky to have taken this professor.

Extremely good professor. One of the few teachers that doesn't bore me in class. Not that difficult if you show up and pay attention to class discussions. Not a typical English class...heavy focus on history and politics. You'll learn a lot as well.

Fantastic professor. Interesting & engaging. Incorporates current events into lectures to bring real world application to the classroom. Emphasis on critical thinking skills. Lots of writing. Not that easy a grader. Expects college level writing ability. He is well worth the work. Need more profs at PCC like him!

Pro. Marheine is a nice fellow that loves to talk about history, politics, and real world problems we face today. He assigns a couple of essays based on short passeges from the books he assigns. Not hard of a class at all. I took 17 units this semester and I passed his class with a B. I could have gotten an A but I slacked off a little. Take him

I learned more with Dr. Marheine than any other teachers I had. He teaches about life & makes us aware of many things if world. Hes invaluable to have.

He is brilliant. A great professor and incredibly inspiring. I loved the novels we were assigned, but he does respect decent writing skills from students. TAKE HIM YOU WON'T REGRET IT!

His class has been a life-changing experience. He is one of those professors who truly care about his students' future. He lays out what he expects from the essays clearly and gives constructive feedback. Allows students with poor essay grades to rewrite the essay for a better grade. A great teacher for both life and academics.

He is so cool and will truly motivate you to think about humanities, art, history, politics culture and the living breathing people right in front of your face. You will read amazing novels ad plays. Encourages people to take a stand. Cares about students.

BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!!! I took him during the summer and all I can say is that he is very smart and he's willing to help his students! Take him if you want to learn more than you do in an English class :)

This professor is amazing. He is such an intellect and really challenges you. Really has a passion for what he does! But heed my warning, if you do not like writing or are not very good at it, be weary! He will tear you to shreds, and this is coming from someone who enjoys writing. He expects college level material, which is what should be expected

His English class is not just some English class! You learn about political science, sociology, psychology, philosophy, and history as well. He also has a great sense of humor and he keeps his lectures interesting. A very approachable professor as well.

Probably one of the most intelligent professors at PCC and the best. You will learn so much and his papers are extremely easy to write on because the class lectures are interesting. If you are going to take 1c you should take him

This was not your traditional English course--it was a hodgepodge of English, Political Science, History, and Political Theory. It won't teach you the necessary tools used to deconstruct literature, but it was a good class. It's best to regurgitate what Marheine spews to get a good grade. Deconstructing literature for its aesthetic value won't.

Great teacher; stimulating and intriguing.

This professor is pretty rad. He is very passionate about work. He has a strong ego. This class can be an easy A if you agree with his ego and what he reps, but if you disagree...kiss that A goodbye. Ex. Of rep: "FEMINIsm = EQUAL rights"- R.C. Marhiene.

he's the best

He is a cool professor but grades ridiculously hard! He makes English a fun subject and has a lot of energy for it. The problem with him is the papers you have to write. It is almost impossible to get an A on a paper and there are TONS of papers. You just want to cry after you see your grade after you get your papers back.

I suppose I have the right to give a review having taken him for both 1A and 1B. The overall lectures in the class are very interesting. As for the papers it's difficult to do but somehow I managed to get an A for all the papers. He lets you do revisions which most people did to improve your grade. You'll work hard for the A's. I got both for 1A1B

I loved that he was open to discussions and wanted to hear more from the students. He regularly offered "rough draft days" where he would go over the current essay assigned and proofread the essay personally before you turned them in. Just be sure to go to his office hours if needed! The writer's reference was not mandatory (which saved me $!!)

Professor Marheine helped me reevaluate my Perspective on life. His lectures are enlightening and you truly feel the passion behind his work.

Prof. Marheine is very motivational and his class was fairly easy. A lot of reading and couple papers. His essay prompts are not easy to understand but he is a lenient grader. He enjoys plays so we attended one as a class since we were reading it in class, overall it was very cool.

Prof Marheine was by far one of the best professors I've had the chance to be taught by and work with. He makes students see things in a different perspective and really work for the grade. I thoroughly enjoyed his class, and definitely felt his critiques improved my writing skills. A must take for an English major

If you were looking for a cruise class its not with him, but if you were looking to actually learn something about literature, to hone your own academic skills, or possibly how to write a proper college essay even Harvard would give an A to well then you came to the right classroom. Best English Prof Period. He's going to make you work for it.

Most cooperative teacher, I have ever met and had. He's 100% clear, helpful, and clear on his subject matters. He is patient, understanding, caring that everyone undestands. A fair teacher. A professor with interesting current affair topics. Educational topics that everyone should know about. A no-nonesense professor. No messing around.

Absolutely amazing teacher, makes you really think about modern problems and opens your minds to how the world works. Really particular with mechanics of a paper, and he prefers short papers as long as they are precise, so don't give him a 7 page extremely elaborate essay when he asks for 4 page. Get to the point. "Short and sweet, keep it neat".

Wonderful professor. Beware, taking class involves challenging your notions of the world, please respond civilly. Lectures varied on a number of subjects: warfare, politics, economics, racism, imperialism, and class conflict to name a few. If you want to learn more about the problems facing modern society, take Marheine.

Funny, passionate, and sometimes kinda grumpy! His lectures are thought provoking but also very opinionated. If you had problems with mechanics in 1A don't take him. If you want a bit of a challenge and a class that helps you start to develop your own opinions on global issues, take him! Just make sure to respect his classroom or he'll chew you out

Torturously long and disorganized lectures (mostly about war, death, and revolutions). Heavy reading. Picky on style and mechanics. Won't hesitate to kick you out if you don't bring a book or put your phone away by the time class starts. But he's very passionate and will certainly help you out. Just take detailed notes and go to his office nearby.

By far one of the best professors at PCC. He will critically engage you, while at the same time guide you towards higher learning. He is not an easy, but will work with you and help you as much as he can. There will be a moderate amount of work and you are expected to extend him the courtesy that he shows you. Work is tedious but it is worth it.

Great professor, his summer English100 class kicked my butt, however, I definitely made the right decision in taking his class. He is caring, nice and is there for you when you need help. Highly recommend, Be Excellent, No Excuses, Finish!

One of the best college professors I've had thus far. His class can be tough, the reading and essays can seem overwhelming, but his classes are worth it. He is really nice and willing to help. He helped me become the writer I am today. Loved his classes so much, I took 3 of them. You will come out a much wiser individual.

He was the first professor I had at PCC and what an amazing introduction to the college! I have never learned as much as I learned in his class. Took him for the 6 week course in the summer and although it was not easy, it was definitely not impossible. Use evidence to support your ideas and you will get a good grade on the essays.

An all around great English critical thinking professor. Take his classes if you want to learn about real world ideas. Work on your verb tense structure on essays and take notes. If you do those two things you will pass with flying colors.

An amazing professor. Really cares about the material he teaches. There are several essays. But what do you expect? It's an English class, essay writing is required. That said, print a rough draft, and he'll give you pointers so you can get a good grade. Come to class, participate, bring your materials, and put away your phone, and you're good.

English1A Summer June-Aug2017 Topics for papers were about current societal issues. Socio-economic equality, public education, feminism/sexism, IVAW, torture after 9/11. Plenty of 1 on 1 help for each paper. Participate in discussions, give your opinions, volunteer to read. Every class was cut 30min early because we agreed to no breaks. 4:30-7:00

Took Professor Marheine's class Summer 2017. Fast paced course but one of the best English professors I've ever had. He is incredibly smart and lectures are intellectual and stimulating with lots of good jokes and stories. Tough grader but makes you a better writer. Lots of reading and essays but what do you expect, it's English.

(Spring 2017 for English 1B) I really enjoyed his class! I learned a lot from his lectures (take notes!). He's in his 70s & very knowledgeable. He has an interesting sense of humor. We had to purchase a couple of novels (each more or less $15). He takes attendance. Do well on essays; they make your grade. He allows re-do's and gives feedback.

English 1c would retake his lectures are not boring he is very lenient when it comes to deadlines and he is really passionate about what he does. Though he could be a tough grader at times its only because he actually wants you to write better. Take the class if you want a fun way to learn to write better. Also its okay to skip class and no tests

AMAZING PROFESSOR! He makes his class really interesting because all of the novels we focused on could be related back to our own lives. Although he may be intimidating at first, he's really nice and always willing to help students with their essays. This class is challenging, so take it only if you're ready to work hard.

I've taken almost every single English course prof Marheine teaches. He is absolutely amazing. He's very passionate and extremely informative. He's always willing to help with papers, and always makes time to go over any issues you have. He's super down to earth and overall a great person

Professor Marheine is hands down THE BEST professor I've had at PCC. All of his topic are about current events effecting our world today and his class is never boring. He is super understanding of the fact that students deal with real life problems, and is genuinely caring. He is also so funny and inspirational. TAKE THIS CLASS!

This is an essay class! Keep it straightforward and concise. No fluff! He grades tough but gives helpful feedback and only sees room for improvement. Don't be afraid to share your opinion! If you don't stand for something, you can fall for anything. The papers relate to social issues which made the class so enriching. 10/10 take him and stay woke!

I dont do well when it comes to essays, but after taking his class i feel more confident about essays. Take advantage of showing your rough drafts of what you have so far so he can help you do better on the final draft. All the essays are current events and you WILL learn something. You only need one book that is about $10 for class.

HANDS DOWN THE BEST PROFESSOR IN THE WORLD. His lectures may be long and he may be a tough grader, but the work and the readings are all connected to politics and society today. He very much cares for your opinion and his class improves your writing by 10000000%. I took him for English 1A and am taking English 1C with him and I couldn't be happier!

Don't hesitate. He's the man that you should meet in a college.

I had Professor Marheim class in 1987-1998. My education ended with Post professional Masters degree from Cal Poly Pomona and Second Masters degree from CSUN. I have a great respect for him and strongly recommend him.

Professor Marheine has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to historical background and context for the literature he teaches. He expects his students to push themselves and does not waste time on busy work. He incorporates his own love of political activism and art that reflects social change. Hes great about office hours etc

Don't procrastinate. Seriously. He gives you an essay formula at the beginning of the semester. Take notes during lectures for essay ideas, put them into the formula and you're set. Don't focus on the "best" idea, focus on convincing arguments. If you can get audiobook versions of the books so you can listen when you can't read.

I took Professor Marheine over the summer. It was an online asynchronous class. 4 essays, 1 optional extra credit essay. Resources needed to write the essays were all free, no extra cost. Follow his essay format, write the paper, easy A. Easy grader. Gives good feedback. 11/10 would take again.

MY FAVORITE! Mutual respect, accessibility, Interesting lectures, & a wealth of knowledge. He Isnt condescending & will treat you as an adult. You will be better as long as you listen to his feedback. If you dont do well IT WAS YOU! Use constructive criticism, take notes. If you actually try youll do well. JUST READ & WRITE! No phones Kids!

2/3rds dropped. Assigned Reading/Online Discussions/Videos no lecture. 1-1.5 weeks to write essays (we wrote 3). To succeed read and save quotes. Essays need 8-10 quotes and have page limits. He cares about having an original thesis and BEING ABLE TO RATIONALIZE IT W/ EVIDENCE. I liked the topics/books we covered. I had him for 1A before too.

Really good professor. He doesn't give lectures but his readings are very interesting.

I've had Professor Marheine during the pandemic, and he's considerate to his students. To get a good grade in his class, you need to participate in weekly discussions and read the books required for this course to write essays. No zoom meetings or lectures. It's all discussions and essays. He's a great and caring man, you may learn a lot of things.

He is a knowledgeable teacher. He gives detailed feedbacks for the essays. The grade for this class is based on the essays that we read throughout the semester. We had 3 books and 3 essays, so be prepared to read and write. Participating in the discussion board is part of your grade, so be part of it. Overall he is an amazing teacher.

Professor Marheine was one of the best professors I've ever had. He was extremely understanding to me during this pandemic when I had several losses in my family. He gives students lots of opportunities to express their opinions. If you do the work and try, you will get an A. He gives feedback to rough drafts. I wish I met him in person. Great guy.
