if you do the readings and show up to class you will pass the class

He is fun and has funny stories. He will explain well and there are only 4 2 page papers for the whole class. Extra credit too.

very helpful

Sounds like some people are bitter because they cant pass a class that is pretty clear on wha tis needed to pass. I think Andrews was a great teacher and if i had the chance I would take him again,

Provides online study questions. Relates material to today's world -- TV, movies, music, etc. Clearly likes his topic.

once you get the hang of the way he does things, it comes pretty easy. you can tell he is a super smart guy so he has a right to be a bit cocky about certain things. you have to come to class cause he gives quizes every day.

gotta do all the reading. he is looking for some mystery amazing answer on all his papers/essays that he never says in class and your grade will reflect such. lectures are good, and he is v nice and available for help but grades too hard for a 275.

P. Andrews is charming, smart, and engaging. His class was challenging and fun. Great teacher!

He puts study questions online, is VERY funny, and tells us exactly what he is looking for on tests. I loved him! But be warned: He can be a tough grader if you're not used to honors class, and you will not pass this class if you don't do all the reading.

Andrews is a good teacher with a fun sense of humor. I learned a lot in his class. However, he is a hard grader who is stingy with A's.

He is very nice and lectures are interesting. He has a great sense of humor...he is open minded...grades very hard...though very helpful...i recommend him to anyone...but you do gotta do the work..and the readings are enjoyable

w00t! Andrews gave me an A! He's funny, nice, and clear about what he wants. He tells you he's difficult. You HAVE to do the reading, you can't fake it with him. Be careful not to let your phone goes off in class. He'll answer it! Overall, I loved him.

It is easy to hate him becuase he is full of himself. But when you look at what you learned in his class at the end you will be amazed. He is really good. He knows what he is talking about. yes, he is a hard grader take him you will learn alot must read!

How could you learn anything if you tune him out?

The best professor I've come across in three years at CSUN. His literature classes are more thorough than all my other classes combined. One in particular has seriously changed my life.

Dr. Andrews is an awesome and very enthusiastic teacher. He knows his stuff well and he is willing to help with questions. Make sure u do the reading though. Lots of quizzes, but he gives you the questions beforehand.

I was not enthusiastic to study Native Am. Lit. but after taking the course, I was so pleased that I did. Andrews made the material interesting and relevant. He's insanely knowledgeable and surprisingly fun. You must be a competent college student to survive in his class--so stupid people stay away.

Exellent teacher who has made me a better student. I recommend this class if you're willing to read, think and be prepared enough to participate in class. He's difficult, but fair and will make you a better thinker.

Witty, Intelligent and overall enjoyable. He is extremely smart and able to relate anything back to pop culture- Is a tough grader, but is very clear and if funny. However he does like to talk alot about ****es.

Great class and Andrews helps the time go by fast. Was worried because it was a 3 hr. class but he has good stories and involves the whole class. Plus he gives out candy. Beware LOTS of reading involved but hey what do you expect in an English class 

Great Professor. Very approachable and accommodating to the needs of the students. Had 2 classes w/him and I wish I could take more. Lots of reading but it's not hard. Easy weekly quizzes if you do the reading. Lots of feed-back on papers which adds to the learning experience. Makes class fun.

professor andrews is funny, so class won't be boring. he makes the stories you read more interesting as he relates them to real life. he's also nice and helpful. and of course, incredibly smart.

Very enjoyable teacher. Made the time fly by. One of the most approachable people at CSUN. Extremely helpful.

Im doing my readings for him now! The Lit is great and so are his lectures. I total treat to be taking this class. He's interesting and interested in his students. I think he's hott-even if he is a walking Dockers ad!

He is the best professor that I have taken at CSUN. He is not only very intellegent but cute in a nerdy kind of way. His classes are very entertaining and there is never a dull moment. I recomend him to all english majors. He makes you think about literature and question how you interpret it.

a good dude. kind of a tough grader, but it's hard to dislike him. drink with him if you get the chance.

Andrews is an utterly delightful professor who is a tough grader but very helpful in understanding texts. I have enjoyed every class I have taken with him, as he makes even a 3 hour class fly with his humor...and YES, if you get a chance, drink with the man!!! He loves Chili's!!!

Cool teacher, really fun, obviously enjoys teaching and helping students. Tough grader, but thats cool too- you get from the class what you put into it. Highly recommend!!

Stop reading about yourself Dr. Andrews. Go read a book or something.

Real Students take him! He is tough,but teaches will passion. Interesting class. Very funny at times. Andrews knows all there is to know about Amer. Lit so if you love Amer. Lit take his classess you will not regreat it. Who cares if he is somewhat full of himself. He has the right. Nice! Do read!

He's funny and teaches very clearly. He's a tough but fair grader. The subject matter in 312 is interesting. The femme fatales, moral ambiguity, and mise-en-scene work are all great. The papers he assigned for this class were the most enjoyable ones I did this semester. I recommend this class!

If you're interested in taking an excellent, brilliant and hysterical professor, take this class. He is truly one of the best professors ever! I learned so much about Native American wisdom and culture and Love Medicine is one of the best books I've ever read in my life.

What's up with the candy? I don't know he passes out that tupperware of caramels but it's really cool. Scott rocks! He had this grading system where you turn in journals for just 3 points and you knew how much everything you turned something in for an A. The final was turned in at Chili's over drinks! He's a lightweight and likes girly drinks.

Excellent professor, sets high standards but explains how to meet them. His classes are enjoyable and interesting. I wish I could have taken him for more but I'm done!

Not just a great teacher but opens your mind to be able to look not just at literature but life from a different perspective. Takes criticism and does not try to "****-Slap" you with his Doctorate degree. Changed my life. Thanks!!

Awesome teacher that truly cares and understands his students...

Very clear and applies lessons to modern life. Very funny!!

Best professor in the department. Those complaining that he grades too hard might also complain about undies chaffing, and subsequently should switch back to diapers.

very good, fair professor. Not over-rated at all. you will walk away with a lot from this class as he makes you think! i really enjoyed this class as he also relates to the students and applies the readings to modern day life. if you want a good class, i would enroll in one of his.

Scott is one of those Professors that will leave an everlasting mark on you. His love for his field shines through. His lectures are interesting, enlightening, and stimulating. He parallels lit. to common experiences. He is a tough grader, but you will no doubt learn from his classes. I've had two. He is a cuter version of Billy Crystal.

Excellent, intelligent and funny. Fairly tough grader.

dr. andrews is the most down to earth professor in the department. i am not obsessed with perfect grades like some of my peers, so if getting an A is a life or death situation for you, make sure you write your papers like a scholar. i am fortunate i got a B, the way i write my papers. but i enjoyed the class, he's an intelligent guy.

Andrews is a great professor. He is very challenging in his grading and likes a lot of participation. He is very approachable, available for questions before or after class and during his office hours. Answers emails quickly. Great teacher, but be prepared for a lot of work & assignments.

Ok, if you don't take anything out of his class, you probably weren't paying attention. Readings are fairly simple, quick. He provides study questions that really help spark in class decussion. He is very pro decussion and sometimes rants. Trys to get everyone involved. But do be warned, he has a somewhat cult like following of annoying women.

If you think clarity gets you into heaven, take this guy. GREAT for journalism or academic writing. On tests, he rewards crystal-clear writing only. You get A's if you just report the facts. His class is organized & he's reliable. Only chicks who are easily bored or have missing fathers could think he was sexy. He has eyes like the shark in "Jaws."

Ok professor...not great. Hard class.

So helpful. Very interesting, everything he says is clear and pertains to what the novels are about. Lots of popculture references. Hot in a nerdy kind of way.

Dont be taken in, he is not an EASY teacher! but he is FAIR which is just as important, he makes you think and wont hand you everything on a silver platter, you have to do the reading! There is no getting out of it, and you have to think and write about the study questions for weekly quizes.

Nice teacher, very clear. You are expected to do readings, but you learn a lot. Very funny...enjoyed going to class.

Covers a lot of material, but tries to explain it all. Exams are on material covered in class.

He rocks! True educator! Loved the class and loved the matterial we read. He will inspire you to read literature. He loves teaching and it shows. You will learn!!!! Must read all the readings and concentrate even though it might be hard because you stare at him all class session. He is one of the most coolest professors i ever had. Nice guy! cutie!

Great class! Learned a lot, read A LOT, quizzes weekly, 3 essay exams + 1 paper, not easy but rewarding when you've done well and learned something. Class is never boring. If you read, go to class, take every quiz and participate--you should pass the tests and the class.

He can be good, but do the reading or pay.

Professor is very interesting but difficult to understand what he wants. Your essays will always be either to wordy or not wordy enough.

Omgz easiest class ever!

A very nice man. Extremely helpful. Tougher grader on papers BUT tells you what you he wants to see in your work..which helps in earning better grades with him. I have taken him twice and am taking him once more..in a class I am not even that interested in.

My absolute favorite professor I've ever had. He made me want to work harder. I never got the "A" I was looking for, but he really helped me step up my writing skills. He lets you know exactly what he's looking for in every bit of feedback he gives. His class is actually worth going to & is very interesting. I loved him.

Really cool guy. Very informative. Whether office hours or through email will do his best to explain whatever you need explained. The selected readings were entertaining as well as the lectures. As long as you write decent essays you'll get a good grade. He will mark you down for all grammar and punctuation mistakes...as he should.

Easy to pass, hard to get an A. particular grader, though if you put the effort in and go to office hours you will get the A. He challanges you and is a really good teacher. Do the reading, participate, and go to office hours you will get a good grade. He had to grow on me, but in the end I liked him and felt i learned something.

He grades much too hard, he thinks a C is a perfectly good grade and explains you have to show him something new to get even a B on a paper. Also, he is pretty self absorbed. Otherwise it's not a bad class, just don't expect an A.

Great Professor! Like it was said before, you have to work to get an "A", but once you do, it is worth it. He definitely helped me improve my writing. Take this professor given the opportunity.

This class is all about interaction and sharing your own opinions. I appreciate this professor for being so open minded. There are response assignments for each book and a massive paper at the end. No exams. This class is all discussion. There's a lot of pressure on that last paper but he is very helpful and preps you for the challenge.

Very sweet man. Very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. Class time was insightful and informative. My only complaint is his unrealistic expectations for papers.There's thorough, and then there's what Prof. Andrews expects. I have received A's from notoriously more difficult professors than Andrews and I ended up with a B in his class.

If you are settling for less and choose to be lazy do not waste his time.This man will help you learn and grow, will be very honest and helpful as well.I am not the best writer yet somehow have received A's in previews classes.He has an eye for areas of improvement and makes himself available through office hours to help you grow and learn.justdoit

Dude is the bomb.com. He's freaking hilarious and his work is pretty easy. Just weekly readings and two essays. No final! He really helps you and tells you how to write an essay correctly! One of the best professors I've had. Take this class if you just wanna chill!

I took Native American Lit a few years ago and to this day, I am still using skills I learned in this class. He will make you work, but the work is worth the reward. I resented the low grades I was receiving on papers at the beginning of the semester, but I soon discovered that he was beyond willing to help during office hours. Excellent class!

I love professor Andrews! This class was pretty easy- a lot of reading, but it's all interesting! He made this class so interesting and really helped me learn a whole lot! He is hilarious, nice, and very understanding. He is a very brilliant man and definitely knows his stuff! I highly recommend this class and professor Andrews!

Excellent professor. Learned a lot. I'd take any course he teaches.

Dr. Andrews is an intelligent man with a big heart for what he teaches. The passion passes to his students. It is always a pleasure taking a class with a teacher who actually cares about the material.

Dr. Andrews is a highly intelligent, professional, and kind person. He encourages you to participate and challenges you. He's also very helpful and is willing to read very long papers in rough draft format. Andrews loves to learn and he loves to see other people learn. I would definitely take his class again. He's really there for his students

Dr. Andrews is an amazing teacher. He assigns interesting reading materials and is clear about what he expects from students. He assigns two essays, quite a few pop quizzes on the reading, one small partner project, and he gives opportunities for extra credit. Just make sure you show up to class and do the reading. Definitely recommend.

Such a nice and polite professor. He gives away all of the ideas for the essays that he assigns. There is no attendance. He is a little bit tough on grading but not the worst. I enjoy his sense of humor. Recommended.

Class is pretty easy as long as you do the reading. He's great at keeping you interested in the topic. He makes it fun and connects with every student. He's very clear and easy going.

I've taken his Eng 355, Eng 314, and Eng 378 classes at CSUN, and he's been a solid professor. Yes, he will grade you and your papers critically, but he frequently gives the opportunity for you to improve through constructive criticism and offering office visits. If you don't put the effort into papers, you'll take a hit. Otherwise, easy A.

Andrews is a cool person. His lectures are imbued with his charisma and passion for the course. But he seems to grade by publication standards which can be annoying. I hate writing essays under the instruction of someone who thinks there's such thing as a perfect essay. Despite his nitpicking, the assigned reading compensated for it. Great books!

He doesn't like to give out high grades! We also had pop quizzes pretty much every week so although he doesn't take attendance not going to class will definitely hurt your grade. He is otherwise a super cool guy but the class was a little on the boring side. Good luck getting through Black Elk Speaks.

This class was super easy and interesting. At the beginning of the year, he asked us what topics we would like to talk about and based lectures on those topics. He assigned readings but he never checked if you did them. Sometimes lectures would get a bit boring. Overall, the class was very interesting and the professor had a great sense of humor.

Professor Andrews is officially one of my favorites! He loves his subject matter and it's infectious. He's heavily involved in the American Indian Studies department--which I believe he's the head of--and in the American Indian community as well. He provides so much awesome information--you will learn. He's caring & intelligent. Definitely take him
