mullet man rocks!..hes laid back

Very nit picky grader of papers. But overall a good guy, with a mullet

He's more Canadian Tuxedo Man... Web Course is cool

Gives some busy work assignments, however, it is related to classroom activities. We even got to watch Southpark and analyze it one day in class. He's laid back and wers converse and faded blue jean jackets!!

Laid Back guy. Grades easy in comp 2. Highly recomend him.

i got an a in the class and english isnt my strong subject..easy and tries to make it interesting

Pretty easy, not too much work involved. Just follow the instructions for the paper and an A is no problem.

I took the mix mode class. Great teacher, but a lot of work for the web based class. Very helpful and a fair grader. Just do the work and you will be fine.

Good guy. If you are sensitive to criticism you might not want to take his class becasue he hands it out left and right. Every now and then, people became upset at his way of correcting there mistakes.

he's an alright guy. critical, but none the less simple.

dude is straight up fun guy...made me laugh at least once a day, we even watched the simpson's in class. unclear at times, and is hug critic with your work, but you can benefit from everything he says, i cant imagine a better teacher to choose.

i thought he was an excellent teacher - VERY EASY grader...tells you exactly what he expects out of you...not hard assignments even though there is at least one due a week

Just make sure you do your homework and you will get an A. If you do your work, you will be okay. There is a lot of busy work, but it's usually easy and pertains to the paper we are writing. He is very straightforward, no BS in the class.

This class was no problem. There were hw assignments for each day, but they only took 5 minutes to do. He drops lowest quiz and hw grades, so he's not that unfair. The essays were pretty easy and the peer reviews made it better. He is tempermental, though

I thought he was an excellent teacher...He tells you exactly what he wants and when he wants it...If you do the assignments you'll get a good grade and learn a lot.

Pretty easy, busy work is good b/c it helps your grade. Got A's on everything. Just do the homework, papers and partisopate and easy A.

awesome teacher. very easy and makes english somewhat interesting and fun. the assignments are not that hard. homework almost every night but he grades very easy. got all A's!

An easy A as long as you do all of the work...there is something due every class but it usually isnt very time consuming

Easy teacher as long as you turn in homework. Really nice, but kind of wierd. Make sure u bring your book to class because he might kick you out. But, other then that I would deffinatly take him again.

My high school english teachers were tougher graders. My lowest essay grade was a 96...then again I'm a pretty good writer. No quizes or tests only essays and daily homework. He's pretty straight foward so if you do what he wants you'll be fine. He is kind of a hippie, but pretty funny.

Good teacher; gives lots of homework but the class isn't too tough--I'd recommend this professor anytime.

I think that Prof. Ethridge was great. He is by no means an easy grader on essays, but he is fair. DO read the material he assigns. DO bring your book to class. DO complete your homework. DO participate in dicussions. I learned a lot of new things. I would recommend this class to others.

Mr. Ethridge is awesome! I'd definitely say to try and get him as a teacher for enc 1101. He does give a lot of homework, but its really easy and always helps out your grade. He grades real easy as long as you follow his recommendations!!

Big hippy. He can be surprisingly funny, but he doesn't seem to be all there sometimes. Decent grader and assignments are pretty easy along with paper topics that are fairly interesting. Class discussion however, was not, and he takes attendance daily.

He's a pretty good professer. Class attendence is taken every class. So if you want to skip, think twice. To get an A, do the homework online (20%), do the peer reviews (10%), and just do the papers. I'm an ok writer but i'm leaving the class with an A.

Good professor, lots of small homework activites that help your grade, 4 essays and grades fairly, just show up to class and do the work and you'll get an A.

This is one of the best english teachers i've ever had. Allow he does give alot of busy work, it is there to help your grade. I have recieved nothing less then a 92% on my essays. If you dont need to be told step by step how to write an essay then take ETHRIDGE!!

(I took this course reduced time so part was on the web) Ethridge is a fun guy, kind of a hippy, atleast his hair anyway. He doesnt make you read a lot but there are several stupid little busy work assignments. I like that he does peer review and group activities for each paper, in which there are four. I got an A even though I missed 1 assignment.

Awesome teacher! Easy grading and some busy assignments. I'm a pretty big slacker but i got an A in his class. Do your four core papers, listen to what he has to say, and take it seriously. Not at all a difficult class, very laid back and chill. Just make sure you do things on time and turn everything in!

Not bad. He tries to get you thinking at least.....

awesome teacher! Easiest class ive ever taken. Nothing lower than a 94 on any paper, and i took about an hour to write them all. Reduced time rocked cuz i barely had to see the guy. Left the class with a 96% average. He's totally chill, and in class you just hang out and listen to him speak. TAKE HIM FOR ENGLISH!!

Mr. Ethridge is a very good professor if you are an organized person who does not need their hand to be held constantly. His expectations and assignments are stright up. He was very quick in answering emails and has an interesting sense of humor. Never got below a 93 on a paper. Although there is some busy work it only helps your grade in the end.

class was very easy...just do the homework its on webct and make sure you do all the peer reviews for the essays and try to participate a little. if you are absent you usually will get 1 or 2 zeros but just make sure ur not absent on a day that hes doing peer reviews or something important and then you wont get the zeros. he is moody.

Mr. Ethridge can be moody, but he's overall a nice guy. He isn't extremely helpful, so if you're not strong in english I wouldn't recommend him. He gives a lot of online work, but it is pretty easy and boosts your grade a lot. Always go to class because he takes attendance.

I retook the course with him and I had a blast. He was fun, made the class interesting, and was always looking for a new way to captivate us in class. I highly recommend him.

This was my second time taking Ethridge, and I am just as pleased as I was the first time. It's a reduced-time class so to succeed you must stay on top of the assignments and plan accordingly (this means weekend assignments). He is a pretty nice person but always seems to struggle getting the class to participate. Dont be lazy & you will get an A.

great teacher, i definitely learned a lot. if you put effort in your papers, you will get A's. there's a lot of 'busywork' homework due almost every class, but it seriously helps your grade.

He is a very nice guy. The class is really easy and mostly boring. He lets you out early on most days. Be very descriptive in his essays. There is homework everyday but it is easy stuff that will help your grade a lot.

he is an awesome teacher. the homework is helpful and if you explain and give detail you will get an A pay attention and you will do very well on your essays.the way he teaches keeps you interseted and is very helpful

he is not very nice personally and kind of a pompous sarcastic jerk, but nonetheless very intelligent and helpful. i learned a lot. pay attention in class and participate. he grades pretty easy but be descriptive and apply what he teaches in class to your essays. its an easy A as long as you do the work.

Good class. I took him for mixed mode. go to class and just do what he says. He grades very easy. As long as you do the work you'll do fine. For the most part, hes a pretty cool "post hippie" and a pretty chill guy.

I loved this class and this professor. I think people don't understand him so they are quick to judge. He is a nice guy and he's really random and funny. I would recommend him to anyone with a good sense of humor. He's sarcastic but he knows how to use it appropriately. I had a great time! Just follow his deadlines and rules and you will be set.

this class is a joke. i took the one that involved web ct as well as class time and it was so easy. the only problem was remembering to do the assignments online, but they are short and simple. He was obnoxious but its just his personality. He grades essays super easy.

I took him for both 1101 & 1102 RST and can i tell you that it was so easy. he grades essays a little hard but i am a really bad writer so that may be why. he has an obnoxious personality but dealing with his personality was worth the grade. and he sometimes shows episodes of wonder years and south park. i completely suggest taking this class

Ethridge was extremely rude but also extremely easy. As long as you do the work and dont show up late to his class you will be fine. Most of the time did the essays the morning of and still got an a in the class. A and B are both very achievable.

Take this class you're good at writing. It will be cake. I took the web-mediated course which was half class-time/half online. The online assignments were easy. If you're a good writer, it should be an easy A as he shouldn't find many things wrong with your papers.

very easy....sometimes i thought i was going to do horrible on a paper and I would get an A

I took his mixed mode class and loved it. If you're good at remembering to turn things in online on time thats half the class. Really easy discussion and question assignments weekly, a few quizzes online, and 4 papers that he baby steps you through. Not a hard grader. If you don't like going to English you only go to his class once a week!Great!

I took his completely online summer class. It was a lot of work, tons of writing, but I learned a lot. I'm a math kind of person and I hate writing but I still got everything done. I got an A in the class! He didn't grade unfairly and he was very clear as to where I missed points! I'd take him again and I recommend him to others.

Easiest grader in the history of professors. Weekly online homework assignments and participation assignments make up about 40% of your grade. 4 essays. Easy grader. I wrote papers hours before they were due and got high grades, made it out with an A-. Take his class mixed mode, you won't regret it.

Easy class and the professor is super nice. You need the book if you want to pass the quizzes.

Easy A. Homework, which is really easy, due every class. No quizzes. Attendance mandatory. Book is NOT needed. Fair grader. For the essays, just actually give a damn and write something coherent and relevant to your topic and you will get an A.

Want an easy A take this class. He gives homework assignments every class out of the textbook which are usually 5 questions nothing tough. As long as you go to every class, do the homework you're guaranteed to pass. Textbook is mandatory by the way

Took online over summer. He can sometimes be a little confusing, but is always open to help people. If you put forth some type of effort, you'll pass. Get the textbook or share with someone because some homework assignments are from there, but that's the only reason you'll use it. 4 major papers. The most being 4-7 pages. PARTICIPATION MATTERS.

He's a really hilarious teacher, very knowledgeable when it comes to writing, and I really enjoyed his class.

The lectures can be dry but it's not long and he cuts classes short often.

Good teacher, he gave homework every class period which was out of the textbook and straightforward. There were 3 main essays and a reflection essay which all had clear directions and he would make us do a peer review before the final product. He was very honest and clear about why you received your grade on the essays.

There is a bit of homework but you can skim the readings and answer the 4 questions the night before. His lecture is 4-7 slides about the reading. Theres only 4 essays the whole class and you spend a week having classmates grade them, its impossible to not pass. He is very understanding and willing to work with you. Also, theres no final exam :)

Great Professor, would totally take again, as long as you pay attention in class you will do fine pretty relaxed grader.

Professor Ethridge is great! I enjoyed his class. He has very clear grading criteria and is willing to help if you ask. Attendance is mandatory and participation really matters to him. There are reading summaries due every class and 4 big papers. Very easy class definitely take him if you have a loaded schedule and need a light class!

Attendance taken everyday, a summary of assigned reading due each class. Lectures/explains all class & has an amusing dry humor. 3 reflective essays & 1 academic. Incredibly honest feedback on essays, made me appreciate & understand the writing process & everything behind it. There are plenty of grade opportunities so it's easy to maintain an A.

I thought I couldn't write an essay going in this class, but he made it much easier. The class was extremely simple and I became a good writer after. I actually enjoy writing essays after taking this class. Do the four essays and homework and you will get an easy A. He grades extremely easy on the essays too.

The content can be a bit boring, but the class was managed extremely well. He sets clear expectations of what he's looking for and grades fairly while providing good feedback. The gradebook was maintained frequently and accurately. Don't skip class because participation (doing the readings and showing up) is a significant part of your grade.

Attendance is mandatory so don't miss out. The assignments in the class are overall pretty easy but there is an assignment due basically every class. The essays will take you time to do and I would advise not to do them the night before. The lectures could get boring but he teaches the content really well. The final exam was relatively easy.

We had at least two papers to summarize each week and 4 essays but all were fairly easy. He is a stickler when it comes to getting to class and on time, I was late by two minutes once and he marked me absent so I only got half credit that day. Besides that he is a nice guy and lets class out early half the time

Every class a summary of a reading is due. It may seem tedious and boring but the summaries are sources for the essays. Each class is a discussion of the summaries. He gives good feedback. Attendance is mandatory. 4 essays for the entire semester. Not a difficult class

He tries his best to engage students in class and gives good feedback every essay. There is a lot of readings in the textbooks but they are important because you can reference them in your essays. He gives a rubric for every essay and appreciates participation! He can be nitpicky with essays but this is because there's a lot of time to revise them.

Professor Ethridge is a great guy! He is pretty clear on what you should expect from his class; i.e. participation, essays, protfolio, etc. Overall, great professor.

LOVED HIM!!! Literally the cutest and sweetest dude ever. You can tell he really cares about his students and wants them to succeed. I would definitely 100% take this class again!!!!

As an educator, he's beginning to slow down a bit. Often he'll lose his train of thought and/or misplace things. However, he cares DEEPLY for his students. I promise if you put in the work that he'll allow you the opportunity to succeed. It wasn't the most challenging course, and if you show up every day, you'll get the A. No exams, no quizzes.

Prof. Ethridge was a very nice guy who genuinely wants his students to succeed. Showing up to his class is mandatory as you complete activities and peer review. On each essay he leaves good feedback. Lots of reading and writing but its doable with good time management.

I took him for both 1101 & 1102. Very easy if you write your papers & participate in discussion boards. Boring lectures, but it is worth the A. Keep up with your eportfolio & don't forget anything, because he will round up your grade at the end if it's organized! Text summaries due basically every class. Attendance is graded but drops one.

As long as you do the assignment in full, you'll get an A. Keep up with the ePortfolio so you don't have to rush to do it in the end. The lectures are really boring, but go to class so you get credit. Overall, the class was cake and I wouldn't hesitate to take it again. Easy A.

Taking Professor Ethridge was really easy. The assignments were easy and the papers were interesting to write about. He would respond somewhat fast and would give good feedback.

I'd have to say the best part was how he laid out the content and how he taught said content to us; I learned valuable info and the way that he centered the main assignments (the essays) around 3 different types of academic writing we may encounter was good. Wish lectures were more interactive but I can't blame him because of COVID restrictions.

Not too bad. I thought the course was pretty easy, but make sure to keep up with weekly reading assignments. Not too tough of a grader on the three main projects (essays) and offers EC as well. Somewhat dull lectures, but COVID eliminated all the planned group activities.

Before every class is usually a summary due on an article in the textbook which is 15 pages long.4 Essays throughout the course, and if you put the work into them, you will pass with an easy A. There is just a lot of reading in the textbook, however the whole course is laid out and easy to follow. Ethridge is also very fun to listen to and helpful

I loved writing, so it was a fun class. He liked to discuss in class, but be prepared to READ! He assigns two readings every week that need a summary (very easy grades), and if it wasn't for my love of English, I definitely would have resented that. Four Gordon Rule essays that were simple enough, and he gave good feedback. No final exam :D

Light workload with decently generous grading

Professor Ethridge was my favorite professor during my fall semester. The class structure was very clear: read the text and submit a summary before class. During class, he would review the readings and encourage discussion in the class. There are 4 essays each around 4 pages double-spaced MLA format. Don't be afraid to use the writing center!

I freaking loved this guy. He's kind, caring, and has that old man sense of humor. He's soft spoken, loves group work, and assigns two text summaries that are do every week before class. They're easy, and he isn't a hard grader at all. He's quite monotone, but it's a very manageable class, and he's such a friendly guy! Take his class if you can :-)

Grades harshly but shows what is expected (especially formatting and citations). Class grade is mostly from attendance/participation, papers and text summaries. Not too much homework. He is a cool instructor in general.

Took the class fully online and involved usually a couple readings a week with an analysis for a grade. Three essays throughout the year are the majority of your grade that can be challenging if you don't know what to write about. The rubric and assignment criteria can be confusing at times and he grades tough but fair.

Anyone who says that his class was a lot of work has just never taken a college level class. Sure he made us read and edit our essays, but we had MONTHS to work on our essays (just 2). Mr. Ethridge also is an extremely witty and interesting teacher. This was my favorite class last year because the class was never boring.
