he's a good teacher. gives back good insight on papers really helps to improve writing skills. his tone of voice seems to flucuate a lot, which can make it hard to stay awake. great sense of humor. overall i recommend him.

Mr. Tenney is of the best teacher i ever had in america. i wish i still have him in one of my classes but im already at csn. he used to teach at hi tech institute but i guess he moved to unlv. he is very helpful and encourage you to do well. class is easy if you are present all the time and just listen and you'll pass his class. he's cute=)

Professor Tenney is awesome! He's cute and smart. He encourages everyone to give thier point of view but make sure to back it up with evidence from the text. If you go to class and follow the guidelines you will do very well.I started the semester pretty rough but ended up with a high B because i started attending class.

2 thumbs up. I didn't like him at first.He is very solid and unwavering in his views. It takes a good argument to pursuade him.He's an ex-lawyer.But he grew on me and helped me establish a stronger writing style. He's got a dry sense of humor and is pretty funny if you play along. Relatively easy class. Solid amounts Homework and 4 Papers were due.

I gotta be honest, at first I didn't like him very much. But as the semester steadily went on I grew to like him. He's helpful with your writing and gives good tips. In-class arguments are good; there always seemed to be an interesting subject discussed. Definetely pick Tenney for English!

He's scary at first but if you stick it out in his class, you will find he is one of the most helpful English teachers you will ever have. His assignments seem hard, but he grades fairly easily. He offers good feedback to help improve your work, he's really easygoing and always available to discuss assignments. He's also very goodlooking.

he is good teacher at first not but he grows on you ....this class makes you think and he provides positive feedback

Mr. Tenney is nice, but he is blunt. It was fun to watch him pick on other students like a bully in HS, but he was never rude nor disrespectful. He tries to pick your brain by asking questions to help you draw your own conclusions about topics discussed in class, which is a good way of encouraging for you to think outside the box. Take the links.

At first, I couldn't stand Mr. Tenney. Through the grapevine, I heard he was a lawyer, so he liked to argue. I felt like my opinion didn't matter to him. Later on, his help with my papers really did help. attending class is crucial. I hope you enjoy him.

If you ever need help shoot him an e-mail or ask in class to get something clarified.

he is a super helpful man, that really enjoys what he does. he commits to you as a student 100% if you show interest. he is interested in the integrity of your work and will help you grow. recommend

Awesome class!

Professor Tenney speaks his mind and some people may not be able to handle his comments. Yet, if you are able to not take what he says personally, his class can greatly benefit you. He knows a lot about English and is ALWAYS willing to help his students out. He provides good office hours for you to stop by & also replies quickly through email.

Prof Tenney definitely knows his stuff. He focuses hard on critical thinking which helps when it comes to writing the essays. He may seem a little rude at times but it's nothing personal, that's just his approach. He made everything clear as to what he wanted to see in our papers. I took his themed course and would definitely recommend him!

He is a great professor. His grading is very easy and is more critical of the content rather than the spelling or grammar. Although his lectures may seem to never end I would still choose to take his class again.

Tenney seems a little harsh at times and his comments may be much for some, but he's a good teacher. He pushes u to think for yourself, which is very helpful. He goes into a lot of detail with feedback on essays. His ways of teaching pushes u to think in certain ways that will make u a better writer and he's a fair grader. Take his class!

Mr Tenney is really a great teacher overall. He is very blunt at times but that is just his personality. You should never take offense to what he says in the end he is really trying to help his students do well. He is very big on the abstract of things and grades more on the clarity of the work rather than the grammer. I would def take him again.

tenney is definitely one of the best professors at unlv. he is very blunt, but wants you to think critically. he's funny and I would definitely take him again if I had the chance! he knows his stuff and is a professor you'll miss!

Tenney is by far the best proffesor i have had so far. The way he approaches lesson plans are not as traditional, but yet you learn more and you come out the class a wiser person. Definitely would like to take his classes again.

He's a great professor and super helpful! I joined the class late and he spent an hour helping to catch me up on everything. Always open to questions and emails from students. He'll even let you send papers early and give you feedback. Not too tough of a grader either, and he is clear with what he expects from students.

The great thing about taking this class is that it is relatively easy. You can send him your essay before it is due and he will make comments and suggestions. He cares more about the content of your essay rather than the mechanics, and is a fair grader. However, I didn't learn a thing during the mandatory lectures that would help me with my papers.

Tenney is always willing to help you out if youre having any difficulties-hes a great teacher and his lectures may seem rather pointless but hes very lenient &not too harsh of a grader so I suggest taking him. He has a very dry sense of humor too so dont take anything he says personally. Tenney WANTS you to succeed, I highly recommend him.

A helpful professor who cares about his students. His humor is something not everyone will "get", but I definitely learned in this class on how to write properly. I recommend this because this professor will definitely be remembered.

I adore Mr. Tenney. He seems so intimidating, but he really cares for his students. He will work with you to help you as much as he can. He is very intelligent and accepts others' opinions and really makes you use your brain. Attending class every day will get you a really good grade. Mr. Tenney is always available. He is a real gentleman!

Mr. Tenney is a great teacher who will make you think and analyze more than you thought you ever could. That may sound like a bad thing but class discussions are very entertaining. This makes the class go by very quickly. I definitely recommend his class and there is not much homework.

Strong humor, I didn't like him at first but he grew on me. Don't take this class if you're sensitive to cuss words. You don't do anything in class besides listen to him lecture and write 4 essays.

LOVE him, so much respect for him. Funny, helpful and handsome. DON'T take his class if you're sensitive to cuss words.

Took him awhile back and he still remembers me and asks how I am doing. Great professor! Much respect for him and his work.

I enjoyed his class so much. Fun class discussions for my English Composition 101F. He has a great sense of humor. He is very approachable and clearly wants his students to be mindful of things.

Mr. Tenney was one of the best English teachers I had. He's hilarious but in a blunt way, so don't take his jokes personally. His class is just a lecture with some peer review. If you have the chance to have him as a professor, take him. He's helpful, nice, and unforgettable. You won't regret taking him.

Easy grader. Go to his office hours and he's extremely helpful. His lectures are confusing initially but once you get used to them they're clear. Keep in mind that literally everything he says has something to do with the topic. Literally everything. Go to class and do the work and he'll notice. Also he's a silver fox so that's nice.

To the person underneath, you misunderstand Tenney. He said that the beginning that everything he does is for education, and never shares his personal beliefs. He teaches using the Socratic method; he will throw back your question so you think about it. It is better to realize something yourself than someone telling you. Excellent professor.

Professor Tenney is very blunt about what he expects in the class. Overall a good class to take for English 101

One of my favorite instructors at UNLV. Some of his examples/jokes may seem blunt, but they're all in good nature. Don't take him if you're sensitive to criticism. He provides really good feedback on papers and is helpful if you ask. If you have the chance, take him. I would take his class again without a doubt!

He was a great teacher who cares about his students and gives them time if they need it. If you show up to class then you will pass, he really just wants to know that his students care. Even if he seems like he doesn't care because he can come off a little scary. Great teacher but participation is a must!

In the beginning it seemed like none of his lectures had a point, and I often left class with a headache. But after a while it was clear that he was trying to teach you how to think for yourself. He has a unique sense of humor but always means well. He tends to grade more on content than grammar and is easily accessible. He truly helped my writing

He grows on you as a person but he's definitely not an easy A. I do however, admire his dedication to his students. He's always available to help you.

Great teacher but he definitely isn't the push over type. If you work extremely hard, you'll do well. He's always available to help you but he takes a long time to reply to emails. He throws out some funny sarcastic jokes in class so try not to take them too seriously

At the start this class will seem difficult. Tenney is definitely one of the hardest teachers I have ever had here at UNLV. If you truly pay attention to what he is saying and get used to the way he teaches you, you'll find a middle ground that you could work with. He does care about his students and tries to help you succeed only if you want it.

He is the best professor I have ever had! He definitely takes some getting used to because he is so blunt in class, but he taught me so much and I am a better writer because of him. If you are a sensitive person, I would not recommend taking his class as he can be very candid, but he truly cares about his students and the work that is being done.

One of the best professors I've had.

Professor Tenney definitely has a different teaching method than most other teachers. He gets a little getting used to but after that, he is a great teacher. Professor Tenney gives great feedback and lets you know what you are doing wrong. He will definitely break a few of your bad habits.

Mr. Tenney definitely has a unique teaching style that takes getting used to. He is a super cool guy and can be very really funny during his lectures. He takes attendance so make sure you go, or your grade will suffer. He gives really good feedback on papers so that you know what to fix next time. 4 writing projects and he doesn't collect the "hw".

Dr. Tenney really helps his students become better writers. You will learn a lot if you pay attention and make a good effort to learn the material. I had Dr. Tenney during Summer session 3. With a super busy schedule and turning in work late twice, I still got a B. That said, you still need to learn the material. I highly recommend Dr. Tenney.

I was able to take Mr. T in the summer and then luckily got his section for ENG 102. Definitely has a stern and thought-provoking teaching style. With my sarcastic personality, I really meshed with him and he's honestly one of my favorite educators throughout my life. Take his class you won't regret it. You will become a smarter person at the end.

He can be intimidating at first but he is not as bad as he seems. It takes time to learn his teaching methods. He cares for his students and grades based on effort, just put one the work for the writing projects and you will get at least a B. His class helped me become a better writer. Keep in mind that his lectures can be confusing.

I personally loved this class. At first, I was adamant on his teaching style. The more classes I went to, the more I adapted to it and realized his lectures were heavy, but worth the time. He gave me great points of criticism which led me to get good grades for this class overall. When you go to Tenney's class, just be open minded!

Prof. Tenney deeply cares that students practice critical thinking within their works throughout the projects. He's vague at times, but it's because he wants us to think; if you at least try, he'll acknowledge it. (He'll give extra cred in HW for effort and if you ask questions in class). Lectures could be overly complex; not good if you're tired.
