He is a really good professor. he is there if you ever need need help with something. the time period he gives you between essays is very reasonable and he has a great system set up to help you edit your essays. overall it's a good class and he is a good, funny teacher.

DIDNT REALLY LIKE HIM

Hes really nice and cool, he is a wicked good teacher. He does give a lot of papers but he will help you and tells you whats going to be on the test. as long as you take notes and pass your paper in on time your good. its not a boring class at all.

He's alright. He gives a decent amount of homework in between papers, but also has individual conferences for a week for each paper, so during that week you only have to show up once for ten minutes. Kind of full of himself, but funny.

he is a good professor he is a little full of him self but he knows his stuff he is kind of a tough grader but if you do what he tells you to do in your confrence you should be fine. confrences every 4 weeks or so, during that week u only go to class once for 10 minutes

Not much use with the books that I had to purchase. I did enjoy the class felt as though it was a very easy writing intensive course. I would recomend this corse because it is interesting and fufills many core requirements

McPherson's English 101 class is very easy. He makes the subject fun, and isn't as tough of a grader as put on this website. Going to try to get 102 with him next semester

Professor McPherson is very nice and, in my opinion, an easy grader as well. I am doing very well in his class. Additionally, in ENGL 101, one of his assignments is the creation of a movie to go along with a cause and effect essay. He makes the class very involved and fun. I look forward to his class everyday.

McPherson is an interesting teacher and a really nice guy. There were 4 papers total, not much other work, some quizzes based on the book, but he mostly went over the stuff in the book in class. Show up to class. I got A's on all my papers but a C for the semester based solely on attendance.

Great professor! Funny and keeps me awake! 4 papers total and gives pop quizes to make sure u do your reading (like 6 chapters). Tells you what he expects, fairly fair grader. Lots of group work. talks football. I recommend him!! V

He is the man; best English teacher I've had at any level.

I love Mcpherson! He's so energetic and his mind wanders off subject all the time but it's hilarious. I found him to be an easy grader but there's a lot of hw. Read everything he assigns b/c there's a few quizzs. Also 4 papers and a video and a final. No midterm. Take him!!

I had him a few years ago before I moved out to California and I loved his class! I still remember the things he taught me to this day and use his notes in class!

Best prof. I have ever had. I could never stand English until I had him. His class is great and he makes you work a lot so you can get better at writing. He makes you explore different presentation methods. I have learned so much from him that I still use in all of my classes.

Had him for 101 and knew I had to take him for 102, best choice I had ever made. He is the man, hands down. A lot of work but its for your own betterment and it isn't that hard, he is a very lenient grader. Just a great guy overall in every aspect.

Professor McPherson is great! He is a down to earth person, but isn't a pushover. He is very specific about his expectations, and truly cares about your improvement as a writer. Attendance is important, and make sure your work is on time or a letter grade is dropped.

Ahh McPherson, he is the man! Always cracking jokes and talks about football constantly with the guys. He is easy to talk to and never makes you feel uncomfortable or stupid like some professors. ALways in a good mood. Theres a good amount of work but its reasonable. I would say take him if you can!

He is a sincerly a nice guy. He cares about his students and wants them to succeed. There is a required blog post each week and those are the only "papers" ever written. You use the textbooks every day in class, so make sure you buy them.

Professor McPherson's English101 is an AWESOME class to take, even if you hate English. There's no papers due, just a 400 word blog post (so minimal) that is submitted online at the end of the week. No homework, lot of peer review in class. Strongly recommend for an easy A & Professor McPherson is a great guy, always saying "What a beautiful day!"

Very Energetic! He is very clear with what he wants written for research papers. You get to pick all your own topics and the research papers are pretty much the only homework along with reading the book. He uses inexpensive books and fully utilizes them. I would recommend taking his class!

I love him!! He is so fun and energetic, There was work every week for the class such as 400 word blogs but other than that its a really grest class. We do a lot of peer reviewing which is nice to hear ideas from other people than a teacher. And he tells jokes every friday! "classic Joke Friday"! And he is pretty handsome as well.

Great teacher! Learned a lot in this class. Very fun guy.

Prof. McPherson is hilarious and energetic. For the most part, he makes you feel welcomed & comfortable in the classroom. He does give a lot of work, & isn't clear on the criteria for essays (doesnt give feedback either). He will get angry if you don't do the readings & give quizzes on the readings. He really cares about his student & their success

Was a good guy at first, then got a little annoying. He knows the subject so well so he expects too much. He is nice & makes you feel comfortable in class. 400 word writing assignment each week. Need both books. Everything we do is included in syllabus, so no surprises. I'm more of a math person, dont really like english. But the class wasn't awful

great guy. As long as your work hard and don't cheat you will do well. He is a very nice person and great professor. He understands the tough situations many students comes from and is willing to work with you when circumstances are tough.

There are 4 research papers but he holds your hand the whole time step by step. You can redo any paper for a higher grade. No notes just lecture about how to write a research paper. Makes you buy inspirational books about being a good innovator and has in class discussions about it. Takes attendence but is very laid back and funny.

Professor McPherson is the man! I had him for Eng 101 and Eng 102. For 102, you write 4 papers, but he definitely helps his students through it. It's college, classes aren't meant to be really easy. If you put in the effort, he sees that and tries to help. You edit a lot of classmates' papers too--gives good feedback. Take him! He's great!

I had Dr. McPherson for Writing Rhetorically in Fall 2014 and I enjoyed him. He was really cool and easy to talk to, and I was able to understand the text he gave.

McPherson is a extremely nice person. He makes sure to be personal with you, learn your name, and a little bit about you. Although he is not too tough of a grader he is very specific and does not always explain what he is looking for so well, but you will get the hang of it. If you don't like other people reading your writing do not take this class

He is my favorite! He's super laid back and funny (or tries to be) but he is always willing to help. All there is for homework in writing a 400 word blog every week on the type of writing you learn about that week. It really isn't too bad, because it's only once a week. Class also goes by really fast.

I wasnt sure how I felt about Prof. McPherson at first and I was struggling but when I started asking for help, he was there to help & guide me on what to do. He gives very good feedback and gives a lot of opportunities to improve your grade. Ask questions, do the work & youll pass. I would recommend to anyone

many dont like his class I didn't mind it. a post and 3 replies each week and then an essay every 2-3 weeks. It was really structured and the same thing was due each week at the same time. You don't even really have to look to know whats due because its always the same. His essays can be pretty tricky and lengthy but he lets you revise them after

He is very nice and helpful. His class was a lot of group work and discussions which isn't bad but stinks if you hate working with others.

This class is forgiving if you put in the work. Professor McPherson is an upbeat professor but will only put out what you put in. Expect homework due each week on Sunday night. A lot of randomized group work in class. Informative but infrequent lectures, take notes. Grading criteria is clear. Allows re-submissions on essays if submitted on time.

I thought of him as a great professor. He was always very eager to help students that were struggling, and gave great advice. Assignment or essay instructions were always very detailed and informative.

He's a good teacher, and a tough grader, but the hard grading criteria he has genuinely help you excel in his class

He created a comfortable class environment for me and my classmates. Compared to all of my other classes this semester, everyone was so friendly, which took away any anxiousness about groupwork(which you do a lot of). He was very understanding about everything. Grading was a little tough, but you really learned from him. He's an awesome guy.

I enjoyed taking this class. He always made it upbeat and fun, and I recommend taking him for it. His assignment descriptions were very straightforward, and there wasn't too much each week for work. He was super understanding and was always there to give any help needed. All four papers were only 3-pages, which he helps you get through.

Took this professor for both English 101 and 102. He taught both classes well. The workload increases in 102 and includes more grindy assignments, but he allows rewrites for low essay grades. He sticks to the syllabus, especially for grading. As long as you do your work, you'll be fine. People who say he's a horrible professor need a reality check.

He is an amazing professor. I took him for Technical writing and we always had 1 hw and a quiz due on Sunday which made it easy to stay on track. He was funny and understanding. I can tell he genuinely cared about each one of us. He took the time to ask us questions while doing attendance. Take him!! It was an easy A and I recommend 100%
