He really keeps the class on the edge of their seats. Lapp keeps everyone engaged and you will have to be persistent in order to get an A.

I took his class for English 101 and overall I think he is a good professor to take as long as you are willing to put in the work. You will be writing many essays but the material is fairly simple. There are no textbooks just small books that you will base your essays on so be ready to read. Watching movies and writing a response is extra credit.

Absolutely one of the best professors I've ever had. He does give homework every time the class meets but it's never anything you can't do. If you're looking for a teacher who's going just keep it real and demand the best from you then add this class. I've never felt so comfortable with my literacy until going to his class.

If you want to improve as a writer this class is not going to help. Lapp is the least engaged professor I have encountered at LACC. He mostly sits on his phone while you read each other's papers or discuss topics in groups. He leads zero class discussions, gives zero lectures, gives zero input on how to improve as a writer. I rate him a zero.

When you sign up for a class with Professor Lapp, be prepared to write like you have never written before. My English 101 class consisted of mostly writing papers about racial, sexuality, and education barrier problems. The assignments were fun to do, but some weeks it felt like too much work for just one class. This class is not for slackers.

Professor Lapp is a very chill teacher who helped me improve my reading and writing skills. He means it when he says "take it easy in order to pass the class". He provides several extra credit opportunities. It doesn't matter where you're from; Mr. Lapp is wonderful! He is an amazing teacher! His class is worth taking! ������

I took this class for Summer 2020 & for the 5 weeks it was work heavy ,so if youre able to handle 5 weeks worth of essays,discussions, film reviews and quizs then this class is for you, if you struggle with time management then I dont recommend this class. He helps out with essays, he provides you with a scaffold on how he wants each paragraph

Ron is a great Professor, I learned a lot from his class. Trying to get an easy A? then look elsewhere. Im not sure if my difficulty level is fair as it was a 5 week course and there is a lot of work to do in short classes. His grading is funky, so make sure you do well on big papers. You will work with free tutors online, insuring a decent grade.

Took Professor Lapp's online class during the summer and I had a splendid time. To put it bluntly, you have to write... a lot. The rubric does not show future assignments so you were basically guessing whether you were free the next day or hit with a writing task. In the entirety of the summer session I wrote every damn day.

He is great at his job and you do learn, however, he is very political and its overwhelming, he also offered extra credit for students registered to vote which I thought was unfair to half of the class that did not have citizenship. Nevertheless, aside from his political opinions, you do actually learn the subject well.

Professor Lapp is a great professor online He is a very relaxed person as long as you do the work. He gives you 3 hour grace periods meaning if the assignment is due at 11:59 you have 3 hours after to turn it in and it won't count as late. There a couple of essays and discussion boards but they aren't hard. I procrastinated a lot but still passed.
