This professor is nice and laid back. As of now, he only has 4 major essays throughout the semester. To be honest I don't really think he reads them but he is nice enough to give you full credit in points. The only ehh thing is that he doesn't teach. If you have a question he'll just tell you to find it in the book. But, it's ok,he's good looking..

If you want to learn anything, don't take this professor. He's very nice and funny, but he's lazy. He gave zero feedback on my papers, and never physically taught anything in class- it consisted of discussions on the weekly literature readings and in-class writing. If know how to write properly it's an easy-A class, but I won't take him again.

I have to say that his class is mainly based on completion. He skims through the essays and just looks for format and the number of pages it should be. Doesn't give feed back, peer revision is the most you'll get as feedback, be prepared to write essays at least every other class as well as the ones assigned for homework and journals on the reading

Does not give feedback unless you ask for it, doesn't let you know your grade when he hands back papers or when you ask for it. All the reviews here said he was easy but he's only easy if you enjoy tons of work. 15 journal responses, 2 major papers, 1 project. Extra credit is offered but it is ridiculous!

if you want to write 3 papers a week, take professor chapman. if not, you will regret being in his class. man makes you work for your grade. 5 major essays due, portfolio, and 15 journal responses. he will not hesitate to kick you out of class if you did not do the paper that was due for that class. do not recommend if you are a procrastinator. gl!

Easiest class I have taken. Seems like a hard class but I'm taking 15 credits. All you have to do is write essays so simple. You have problems just ask. Classes are split between discussions and writings. Tells you your grades and responds to email. Even gives study guide for the final which is a piece of cake. Chapman is a good teacher, respects.

I must admit that he gives LOTS of homework (all of them are essays) but are super easy and its an easy A class just for doing all the work and follow the instructions.

What I get from this class is that it is trying to prepare you to think for yourself. if that is not you then the class will be hard but not that hard. I like to have discussions that is what I like best, I talked to the professor after class he understands students and helps students to succeed or pass the class, what is not to like about that?

DO NOT TAKE! Had to drop the class because he asked for a 3-6 page assignment 2 days after class started. I kept reading all the assignments and there was another 7-15 page paper due as well later in the course. Very chill professor and he makes you feel welcomed but is very work heavy and theres other teachers that are wayyyyy easier. Don't take

Participation matters
So many papers

He did not show up to classes and did not send out any messages or notifications stating that there is no in-person class. He gives out numerous essays but the only way to have access to him is online. This was a hybrid class and along with not doing in-person classes, there were never zoom classes. It's a figure-it-out-yourself class

Lots of homework
So many papers

Professor Chapman was my first English professor, I will be honest and say that some of his essays had me questioning life, he did set me up to think for myself and actually do research so I could formulate my own opinions and ideas. I took him for a 6 week term summer of 22 and it was stressful but he's a good professor and gives amazing feedback.
