He okay! have a great personality. He make his work clear and how he want it and is helpful if you ask. I reccomend him if you like someone who not boring. he actually can be an actor in teaching a lesson, but he get his point across.
Good teacher to pick for EnC1101 and ENC1102. He is patient, attendance is very important for him, make sure your cell its off. He is fun and stricte . Dr. Fynboe is the best.
Very very fun class. I really enjoyed it and due to the interesting lessons was able to do very well in it. There is never a dull moment in Dr. Fynboe's class!
He is kind of nerdy and makes weird references, but if you can just laugh at him, you'll love the class. He's super nice and flexible, teaches very well and doesn't give hard tests or papers. You can tell he really loves teaching. I'm a bio major and took this class to get it out of the way, I HIGHLY recommend him.
He loves his job, you can tell because what he does in the classroom and for other students. He's a nerd, but that is what makes him so awesome. He explains every project, and will act parts of the literature out. Slight rough on essays, make sure you read, cell phone out of site and you will be fine.
very nerdy but in a good way, try to make jokes but if you have a sense of humor you will get it.. does not give alot of essay but he is a hard grader, and also give enought time to do them an feed back to make you a better writer.
One word. He is awesome.If you are taking ENC1101 or ENC1102 I urge you to take him. Always remember to turn your cell phone off during class.
Good teacher, Funny and very serious ,you must behave your self "turn OFF your cell phone",otherwise he will be very mad to you. I enjoyed the enc1101 /enc1102 because he teach very good , patient ,he loves teaching, he doesn't mine to go offer the materials with you . I miss yo very much Dr. Finboye ,you are the best English teacher.
i really enjoyed his class. he is a very cool guy, plays video games, listens to music and is really enthusiastic about teaching. he helps students who need help and the homework assignments are not hard. show up for class, spend time on your papers and you will get a good grade. i highly recommend him
This is by far one of the best classes I've taken. Funny, knowledgeable, and helpful. Tends to go on a lot of non related rants and can be a little rough on grading papers but it was still a very easy A. As with most classes simply show up and do the assigned work and you'll do fine.
I enjoyed this class and having Dr. Fynboe as my professor. He was more than willing to help me on papers though he is a very tough grader. He is goofey and very intelligent. He made the class interesting and the class is pretty easy as long as you READ THE STORIES AND ATTEND CLASS! I am very happy I chose Dr. Fynboe as my 1102 professor.
Really good teacher, gets off track but in a good way. Really helpful with me, who had never written a paper before.
I HIGHLY recomend Dr.Fynboe Nuff Said
Dr. Fynboe is an exceptional professor! He doesn't only teach you English, but he uses the course to teach and prepare you for the outside world. Higly recommended if you're looking for a professor who cares. Had him for both ENC1101 and ENC1102.
He does not post your grade until the end. He is a stickler for grading papers. He is very strict with attendance and tardiness. He is very entertaining.
Best teacher ever!!!!!!!!:)
As long as you read the stories, pay attention in class and do the essays,you'll have a great time in this class. Dr. Fynboe is the best.
Dr.Fynboe is an interesting and funny teacher. You never know what he will come up with one day he is rapping the next he is talking about star wars episodes. Loved his teaching style. He is very firm with attendance and assignments. Do the essays and journals and participate and you will pass his class. Cant wait to take him for ENC1102!!
He's super awesome. He has an obsession with pop culture and if you don't mind his odd humor, he's a great and fun professor to take. He does grade pretty hard on essays, but as long as you join in his discussions in class as well as turn all assignments in on time, you're sure to get an A.
Great Professor! He was very clear and an interesting character. Took him for both ENC1101 and ENC1102. Absolutely recommend!
Best English Teacher ever. I have never liked English until I took his class. Taking him for 1102 as well! If you want to enjoy writing, take him for 1101. He makes class so much fun.
Grades super hard. Things you learned in 1101 will not be used. Hardest class to stay awake in. Also, very free with language. DON'T take if you have issues with profanity. Well, just dont't take him at all.
BEST teacher I have ever had. This guy, besides being the funniest teacher I have had, is extremely knowledgeable, passionate not only about literature and poetry, but about life itself, will also help you be the best You in class by answering any question you have and by being a tough grader. A fantastic teacher. Dr. Fynboe = Best english teacher
DR. Fynboe is extremely entertaining. He makes subjects that are boring, fun. I suck at English, I'm dual enrollment, and slacked off a lot but I still got a B. English is hard but he will make it easy.I learned so much from him about writing and life in both ENC1101 and ENC1102. TAKE HIM!
He's very quirky and interesting. Lively class discussions and topics. Tough grader on essays but leaves notes on how to improve which are really helpful. I definitely grew as a writer. I'd recommend him.
Highly recommend Dr. Fynboe! He's a great professor and has fun with the class. Taking him for ENC1102 next semester as well.
Took him for enc1101. Awesome professor , very strict with attendance , Passionate about literature and life quests , tells tons of cool stories, Some of his readings are boring but u can tell him that and he will actually care about your thoughts. Be prepared to do some writing. overall awesome teacher . I'm taking him for enc1102
Take Dr Fynboe He makes English fun and teaches you EXACTLY what you need to know. He gets straight to the point but is very big on attendance and paying attention which you wont have trouble with because he makes the class INTERESTING
Overall good teacher, do his essays when assigned and don't procrastinate until the last second.
Dr.Fynboe is the best teacher you will ever take . He is so knowledgable. He is interested in pop culture. He raped one of dr.dre song , and I was sold. He is so awesome and cares about the student. Exam are super easy. The lowest I got was a 99. We played a game called slingers , and its really helpful. Three essays. Dr.fynboe deserves a raise !
Dr. Fynboe is awesome! He's an extremely dedicated teacher, and makes the class a real pleasure to attend. Our class had amazing discussions and Dr. Fynboe truly gave me an appreciation to literature like I have never had before. He's definitely worth taking!
I love Dr. Fynboe I took him for both ENC1101 & 1102. He loves for the class to participate in his discussions on what he asked you to read. He only does 2 and half hour classes but keeps you pretty entertained with his corky sense of humor. There aren't many essays or book work. I seriously recommend him.
Best Professor EVER!!!! I took him for 1101 and 1102. He is definitely tuff when it comes to grading papers. But if you plan on going for a BA and so forth, this is the teacher for you! His classroom discussions are lively and he never makes you feel stupid. This is the first teacher I can honestly say I will miss.
Dr Fynboe is a great teacher that cares about his students. He is very clear on his expectations for each assignment and grades fairly.
Fynboe is really hyper and engaging in class. There are no tests or quizzes or oral presentations, only papers. He grades kind of hard, but don't worry about your grade, you'll get to make it up in your final portfolio. If you can deal with Hyper and disheveled, Fynboe is the guy for you.
HE'S FUNNY AND A GREAT GUY. NO QUIZZES OR TESTS, JUST ESSAYS. HE'S FUNNY, TELLS A LOT OF COOL STORY
Very enthusiastic teacher. He makes lots of awkward jokes that you won't understand but overall he teaches you a lot of good writing tips and offers all the help you need.
He's definitely interesting, and really hilarious! He made me actually understand English, and how to write a good paper. There's only 3 papers, and a final portfolio. The final portfolio, is a chance to rewrite your first 2 papers, and a small essay on what you learned. I really liked him, wish i could have taken him for 1102!
Great teacher.
Dr. Fynboe is an amazing professor. If you take his class you will learn something. Also, he is an amazing teacher, he gives the best lectures and you will never be bored. Also, make sure you read every one of his reading, because he will give you pop reading quizzes. Dr. Fynboe is the best professor to take when you are taking ENC 1101.
In order to past you must read the stories prior to class. He is hilarious! Only one essay and its a research paper. Not a easy A but you have to work for it. Not a hard class at all.
He's hilarious and knows how to make lectures interesting. He seemed like a difficult grader at first, but by the end you can make it up by revision. There's only 3 papers, and there only 3 pages long each which isn't bad at all. Overall it was an easy A, as long as you put in some effort and show that you're improving.
Fynboe isnthe best teacher I've ever had. He is defintley worth taking, and if you put in as much effort to his class as he puts in his students; you'll see yourself gradually improving along the course. He's completley helpful and hilarious. 3 essays and a final portfoli that lets you revise your first two essays. Basically it! Taking for ENC1102!
Best professor I had in my entire college career. I took him for both English courses and enjoyed them. The worst part; however, was when the semester ended.
He will turn your D- papers into A+ Papers!
I've written a review before, but this is for 1102. Once again an amazing professor and one of the best at IRSC. He knows what hes doing and his assignments build you up till your final paper. 6-7 pages has never been so easy to write. The best lectures and reading assignments. Great Discussions. You wont regret taking this amazing human being.
He is great, in saying that you do have to work for your grade but his class is so much fun. BEST Prof.
Took Professor Fynboe in the fall and would never take him again. Expect lots of papers, a group projects, and long lectures examining poems word for word every day. Attendance is mandatory.
Do the work, put a little effort in, and get an A. I thought his lectures were pretty interesting too. He has one term paper project you complete throughout the semester in steps. I learned a lot. He explains literature is a whole different light. I liked him & would take again.
I do not think there is a better professor than Dr. Fynboe. He is so passionate about reading and writing that it is contagious. His teaching style is also very modern and fun; he really wants you to learn why it is so important to write well and that you actually become a better writer.
My previous English prof. seemed to view our essays as just a grade, but Fynboe actually wants you to work on your writing skills. Show up, participate, do the work and you'll definitely pass. If you have a concern or are honestly unable to turn in work, let him know. He works with you but hes not the person to pity a sob story.
Best teacher ever. He will help you become a better writer. Total hottie!!!!
best professor ever! Dr Fynboe is so helpful with everything! You only have 1 paper the whole semester, so easy!
I did not like his class honestly, he isn't a boring teacher just a very hard grader and over dramatic. he does give the class breaks which is a very good thing but in all honestly would not take him again. no way !!!
Dr Fynboe was the best prof I have ever had. He really wants you to become a better writer and throughout the course I became a more confident writer. He is really funny and his lectures and class discussions are really interesting and fun.
Super cool professor and is always ready to help! He knows what he's talking about and he isn't boring. I always love coming to class.
Seriously the best English teacher you will ever have! No exam but there is a final portfolio, no test, easy to understand notes, keeps lectures interesting, VERY funny, and overall a great person. Participation is a big thing he wants in his class and also part of your grade. If he is available, TAKE HIM! Before it is too late...
Dr. Fynboe is the greatest professor I have ever had. I would absolutely love to take another class with him. His classes are amazing, and extremely fun to attend. I would look forward to attending his class each week, and that says a lot! Dr. Fynboe is hands down the best.
If you don't care about your education, Scott may not be the instructor for you. Nor would any instructor. He will not coddle you. However, if you put proper time and effort into your assignments, you will be graded fairly. He communicates very clearly what he is looking for and how you can learn in the class, it's up to you as a student.
He is a great professor! He gets into his lectures and will never make you fall asleep. He doesn't give quizzes, but if you don't read the readings, he will give you a pop quiz. He is a tough grader but will give you the chance to redo 2 essays in your final portfolio. He is very clear with what he wants and will help you pass his class.
Favorite English teacher by far! Amazing class & would recommend to all.
Dr. Fynboe is a great teacher! The first time I had him, I was just going into IRSC. He's really eccentric & loves a talkative class! PARTICIPATION MATTERS. Be prepared to write a ton of essays! It's not that bad & he's helpful, too! VERY HELPFUL! I loved his class & I'm taking him, again, but for ENC1102.
Great lectures and discussions, makes you work for the grade but he will help you along the way.
I enjoyed Dr. Fynboe. He is super funny and goes off on tangents about interesting things - takes away from the dry subject. He is very smart and will help you as much as he can. His research paper was pretty long and time consuming, but ended up getting an A on it.
To take this class, you absolutely have to be a reader and a big participator in his class. There was one 6-7 page essay and it was definitely way easier than it sounds. The class was overall very easy and enjoyable. Only problem I have with it is I've sent important emails with RiverMail, along with other people, to him and he never emailed back.
Dr. FYNBOE! Ah he was quite weird in the beginning. The thing is, you have to get his humor. At first, he acts all tough and rude. He just wants to make sure students do not walk all over him. He really taught me to write a good paper. His classes were a lot of fun. He CARES about his students, EASY A. I loved his class and I learned a lot!
He makes a nice rubric but he leaves out specifics, like how he feels at the time he reads your project. Does not control class, students talk during class, cell phones are out, he doesn't correct them. He often tells you how smart he is and how he can ruin your life. His ego hinders him. This class could be so much more then it was. :(
For the most part, it was easy sailing until a miscommunication with him not checking his river mail resulted in points lost. His grading criteria is crap, doesn't offer extra credit, 4 papers, no final exam( paper and revision instead). Be sure to ask your questions because he is not very descriptive. Otherwise he was funny and an easy credit!
Dr. Fynboe is a good teacher. He is very funny and werid at the same time. His class wont definitely bore you. He is not really that specific when it comes to knowing what he wants in a essay so make sure to ask questions after class. Other than that, if you come to class and do the work you'll pass.
Dr. Scott Fyboe is just amazing. There's never a dull moment in his class. He gives 3 essays and the final is a revision on the first two and a mini essay on what you've learned. He opens your eyes and makes you see clear through everything about life and the world. He's hilarious and enthusiastic. His feedback is great. R-E-C-O-M-M-E-N-D-E-D
He was a very solid teacher. I don't have many complaints, he's a funny and nerdy guy.
If you're even considering taking one of his classes, DO IT. He is such an amazing professor. He makes sure everyone understands everything before moving on. Attendance is very important to him, but you'll never have a boring lecture so you shouldn't worry about that. He makes all classes a really enjoyable time.
Professor Fynboe, hands down is the best professor I have had at IRSC. He is very passionate and caring. If you ever need help with any of the assignments he is always available to help. His class was overall easy, just one essay that was a little difficult. There is no final or midterm. Just show up and do your work and you'll pass
I took Dr Fynboe for both ENC1101 and just finished ENC 1102 and he is the BEST professor at IRSC. He is full of energy and is hysterical. As long as you do the work which is 1 paper broken down into several pieces that you get graded on. Stay up with the assignments and your final paper will be done by the time you have to turn it in.
Very funny and makes class very enjoyable . I genuinely did not want to miss any of his classes because of how great of a professor he was. He is a little weird but that's what makes it funny . He is clear on grading and gives good feedback .
Recommend to anyone and everyone. He's such a great and caring guy his class was always interesting and he always gives good feed back to make you a better writer. I liked taking him so much I choose him as my English 2 teacher also
Professor Fynboe is funny, passionate, and one of the best professors at IRSC! Attendance is a big deal, but it's okay because his classes are always interesting. Doesn't hurt that he's also cute in that nerdy way! He gives great feedback, and if you need extra help, he's just an email or an office visit away! TAKE HIM!!! You won't regret it.
I took Proffesor Fynboe in Summer 1 of 2016 and he is my favorite professor and teacher so far in my school year, as I am a dual enrollment student. Participate and the class will become more interesting with each second
Dr. Fynboe is hilarious. While he's tough and doesn't mind really embarrassing you if your phone rings in class, he's great. Highly recommend. Just do the work.
A very enjoyable class. You do not feel like you're working when you are in a lecture. He assigns reading that is not exactly required but highly advised to do since one of the stories you read will be needed for a research paper.
One 7 page paper due at the end of the course, but it's really the only assignment and you work on it starting week three of the class... very manageable if you stay on top of it.
Great class and hilarious professor. Doesn't give much work and you get at least 2-3 weeks to work on it. There really should be no reason to fail this class if you stay on top of everything. Also gives good feedback that has helped me improve my work.
Dr. Fynboe made coming to class more of a pleasant event than a hassle. The in class discussions about the text we read was great. He has a great personality and encourages that students get involved. The worst part is his class is on a multi-part research paper, but as long as you stay on track you will be just fine.
I took this Summer 2 and it was the best class Ive had at IRSC so far. He didnt only teach english, he allowed you to think outside the box and question things. He gave great feedback and REALLY helped with my writing. He was funny and an awesome teacher. I would definitely take him again.
Seriously recommend, especially to those needing to take ENC1101. Amazing professor! Interesting and funny lectures, and great topics assigned to write about. You won't regret taking Fynboe.
Loved this guy, would take him again for ENC1102 if I could. You will learn how to write and read with a more discerning point of view. Fun lectures, sometimes group projects.
Awesomely awesome
I hate English, but Dr. Fynboe makes it so fun! AMAZING PROFESSOR! I wish I could have him as my professor for every course! Works with you and when you have to write your paper his feedback is very helpful and extremely nice. Make sure you put in the work, because he goes easy until your final paper where he grades harshly! 50/10 WOULD RECOMMEND!!
Dr. Fynboe is a great professor! Going into ENC1101, I was very nervous but taking his class taught me a lot & made me confident for 1102. Very helpful and gives great feedback. If you do the work, you will pass this class. very funny and enthusiastic. He understands college is hard and does everything possible to make class easy and help us!
Fynboe is a amazing english professors, probably the best at IRSC. He's classes are fun as heck.
Has a big personality!!!! Super nice and understanding guy, he cares about what each student has to say so make sure you participate. He can be a tough grader but he tells you specifically what each essay needs to have.
Dr. Fynboe is amazing! The class isn't easy but if you put in effort to better your writing, you'll get a good grade. He is a tough grader, but there is only 4 essays and a final portfolio which he lets you rewrite the first two papers. I was dreading this course but Dr. Fynboe made it fun and interesting. He also really cares about his students.
He screams a lot. The first day of class I wanted to run out and I tried to switch my prof. I didn't though, and he turned out to be a pretty good prof. He's intimidating but his class makes sense. If you do your work just like he asks, you'll be fine.
I was scared my first day because I didn't expect him to be so enthusiastic. Lol I would 10/10 take again. You learn so much. This class will definitely make prepare you for future English courses and or future writing.
If you want an easy A, this is not the professor for you. He is a very tough grader, but his lectures and personality are amazing! We had about 4 papers, and our final was a portfolio filled with revisions of all our papers. Not an easy class at all, but if you want a challenge, he's the professor for you.
He was such a good teacher and everything he expected of us was clear. Fun lectures and if you do the work you will get an A.
Has AMAZING lectures and is beyond funny. He will make you work for your grade but gives exceptional feedback. I'd recommend everyone to take him.
An absolutely amazing professor. He really wants to see you succeed in his class. He really cares, he makes his class a lot of fun. His classroom are never an intimidating environment, and it's really a place where you're not afraid to speak up or ask questions. If I had the chance, I'd definitely take him again.
He is so crazy in a good way, he passes in front of class and yells when he speaks to keep things interesting. He's a little bit nerdy but in a good way. He's powerpoint were very helpful and when we wrote essays he gave great feedback and even gave us chances to revise our work.
Overall a great guy, he is passionate about his job and its appreciated.
Really enjoyable class. He is passionate about his work and shows that if you sit and listen you'll understand everything you need to know. Criteria for essays were clear and there was some freedom on what to write for them. He understood that not everyone can give him a professional paper with the first essay and will help you improve overtime.
He knows how to make class really fun I'm taking him for Summer b and its the most fun I've had in class.
I have taken Dr. Fynboe twice; he's great teacher. Always finds a way to make us laugh. Most lectures come straight from his head and there's not many notes. He is extremely helpful and encouraging. Most homeworks are readings, videos, or songs. There is a group project but most of the topics are fairly easy. 10/10 would take again.
Dr. Fynboe is an amazing teacher, but I did have some issues in the semester. I had questions, but he would sometimes give me a short answer or never answer my emails to him. I also had some printing problems and he never said anything about it.
Very fun class! I did not mind going to classes, he made all his assignments fun and relatable, this was my favorite class that I have taken at this school yet!
Amazing Prof. Class was easy as long as you did the work. Essays were really easy. Took this class Summer B and it was a breeze. Super funny guy.
He is, um, interesting. He is funny and awkward and can be a really cool guy, BUT DO NOT EVER get on his bad side cause it will feel like he is ripping you apart and destroying you with just a stare. Never use your phone in class and do what he says. Hes a hard grader and doesnt want essays to sound like essays. He is never bias towards students.
At first I wanted to drop his class, but I ended up liking him. He randomly screams but it keeps you awake. There was one group project, and 4 essays. There wasnt any pop quizzes or test other than the essays.
He was a great professor. He kept class entertaining and fun. I learned a lot and I really do believe I left the class a better writer. Would take again!!
he is so awesome and makes class feel like a big fun fact, he teaches about things important AND interesting. I love pop culture and he knows everything about it. if you like good music and movies, his class will definitely be fun, since he focuses on music and is always talking about movies. Hes reasonable and knows what hes talking about, A+
Hes a really interesting professor and makes english fun. His lectures are easy to follow and definitely not dull. No homework was assigned except for readings every now and then, but theyre short and the class just discuses it. If you do the essays and participate then youll get the grade. I totally recommend his class
His class is lecture heavy but they're entertaining and he can be very enthusiastic about it. The textbook book is required, mostly you're just assigned to read short stories and then have a class discussion the next class. That class discussion is part of your participation grade so chime in occasionally!
Why others had a great in person experience, his online teaching is clearly totally different. Weekly reading questions that weren't graded until the end of the semester, no way to gauge how you are doing in the class. Out of my 5 emails to Dr. Fynboe, only one was answered with an okay at best explanation.
One of the best professors ive ever had to date. His class is not just an english class, youll learn communication skills and how to actually get your thoughts onto paper. His lectures are so interesting and he sparks a lot of insightful discussions during class. He is a also THE BEST powerpoints ever, he really cares about his students
Dr. Fynboe has been one of my favorite professors so far. He made the lectures entertaining. You have to do the work in this class and you have to take it seriously. If you do that, the class is pretty easy and it will probably be one of the most interesting classes you take.
Dr fynboe was the one of the best teachers i ever had. he is unfiltered and passionate about his job. he is super helpful with writing papers and explaining mistakes
You won't ever fall asleep in this class. He is constantly energetic, passionate, and engaging with the class. You don't even realize that while it seems like you're having a regular conversation, you're actually learning as well. The work is easy as long as you put some effort into it. He grades hard but it's for your betterment. 10/10 professor.
I only wrote one essay in his class. Take him and do the work and you will get an A. On the homework assignments there are only like 5 written questions that were easy (it's based on your own opinion). There is not a lot of homework. It is only 1 exam with 10 questions 8 were multiple choice and two were written, but It was so easy! Take him, Now!
Gave 10 overall assignments, easy. . He focused on visual texts, interesting but doesn't help w writing. Final paper was on a very unclear topic which he didn't help with. In the beginning he answered my questions but when they were more serious he did not answer. You'll get a good grade, he wasn't a tough grader. Just not what i expected.
It is a super easy class that had about 10 assignments that were opinion based got 100s on all of them, there was a final research paper that was the majority of the grade but it's easy to get an A if you follow guidelines. Highly recommend it for an easy A.
Took in Spring, like 10 HW assignments with 5 or less questions that were based on the reading. Our class was based off on 90's decade, mainly the music and commercials, so for HW we watched the video and looked at the lyrics to answer questions. 2 EC opportunities, extremely easy midterm and final (1 big paper, but divided into parts thru course.
Dr. Fynboe is honestly one of the most (if not the most) amazing teachers I have ever had. You can tell he is passionate about teaching and his PowerPoint presentations are the best. His class feels more like watching a performance than listening to a lecture. As long as you show up to class and do your assignments, you are golden.
Dr. Fynboe is an amazing professor. He is funny and gives amazing lectures and gives good feedback. I took his class online and although there are a lot of work for online course; he made it all easy for me with his clear instructions - and if you follow them and submit the work on time; you'll get an easy A grade.
The best professor I've ever had. Honestly he made me laugh each and every class, no matter the day I was having. I would have him teach me every subject if I could. He is extremely clear with direction and lectures. He can be a little intimidating at first (if you know you know) but I swear he is the best!!!
Dr. Fynboe is very passionate and funny. He cares about his students and wants them to do their best. I thought the fact that we discussed the literature after the assignment associated with the piece was already due to be a little strange. The pieces of literature that were picked were quite interesting and nontraditional.
Dr. Fynboe tries his best to make class entertaining and useful for his students. He also very much cares about his students and wants them to succeed inside and out of class. Any presentations he might have you do are very easy, allowing us to record them and send them to him privately as to not have to present in front of a class.
I loved this professor! He makes class fun and entertaining and I would definitely take him again!
Dr. Fynboe's classes offer an enjoyable learning experience. He is not a tough grader and he will let you redo quizzes to get a better grade if you ask. Once you do the work you will be ok.
He is an understanding professor, who gives multiple chances to redo work. You can submit late work up until the second to last week of the semester, although after 3 late days of work it is an automatic 30 points deduction. It is almost impossible to get a response from him outside of class.
I was in Dr. Fynboe's new ENC1102 class with a topic of animation. The class was interesting, and I loved learning and writing about pop culture. The base ENC1102 content is still slightly frustrating, so be prepared to write essays and research project planning. Overall, Dr. Fynboe was extremely passionate and easy to follow.
Lots of essays, he says it is prep for enc1102
Dr. Fynboe's ENC1102 class was engaging and easy, with assignments focused on fun topics like 90s music and commercials. The lectures were entertaining, and the grading was lenient. unstuck study was super helpful for preparing. Definitely an A-worthy class.
He's a very nice caring Professor. Not very difficult class. Would definitely take again if I had the opportunity. He was the first Professor to announce an extension on assignments when the hurricanes came, and they were extended by a decent amount.
Dr. Fynboe is a very passionate professor. Points will be taken off for every absence. His assignments are very poorly explained and he will not explain them any further. You will be waiting weeks to get a grade on an assignment that will have little to no feedback and a vague rubric. He also does not respond to his emails. I prefer ENC1101 only.
Grade drops for every day missed. Lectures don't correlate with assignments. 13 total assignments within 16 weeks. Does not respond to emails. Instructions unclear and also locked until the last minute. Grades weeks after assignments are turned in yet recommends you to use previous feedback on the following assignment. little feedback. no help.
Lectures were off topic and had no correlation to the assignments, and if you asked for further explanation, it would IMMEDIATELY be a no. He only responds to emails at the end of the semester. Giving 100% in his class will only make you more confused and he will most likely give you a 70 on essays.
