So professor Dees is young and hot. He is super funny, really nice and down to earth. It's a boring subject for the most part but he makes it fun and explains things really well. Every class is like a conversation about a topic instead of a lecture you can't wait to get out of. Definitely take his class if you want to pass. He's an easy grader too.

Attendance is mandatory because there's no point in being in class. You look up online how to write each paper because he's no help... Cares more about MLA and sources then paper quality, so as long as you write a paper and meet minimum requirements you will get an A.

Prof Dees was a good professor to have for someone just starting out in college. He's laid back and not a tough grader. Sometimes he's unclear about what he expects but if you just ask him he's more than happy to help. 5 papers and 1 presentation, but they all interlocked with each other. No tests and just reading assignments sometimes.

Professor Dees is the best ENC 1102 teacher! There's a semester long research paper, but its broken up into parts so at the end you just put them all together. Allows papers to be revised. No tests or midterms. The final is an informal panel presentation. There's also one group project that is super easy. Overall, this is great class and professor!

Overall the class is easy but you need to show up or you will drop at least 2 pts in your overall grade. He does seem to be scatter whenever he assigns papers so talking to the people around you will help you

Professor Dees is a great instructor. I don't enjoy writing, but I did benefit greatly from this course. Be prepared to put in a good bit of effort, but he is fair and reasonable and he grades assignments quickly. He also gives great feedback and really seems to care about his students.

Professor Dees is the best person in the universe. He is very caring and funny. His assignments are not hard at all. There are three major assignments and a final. We have class discussions on a book quite often and he values the opinions of his students. I would recommend professor Dees to everyone. :)

I would 100% recommend taking professor Dees over all the other ENC 1102 teachers. For every essay, you can revise for extra credit as many times as you want(so if you try at all, you get a 100 on every single essay). Take his class if you want an easy A for a GEP. If you don't get a 95+ in this class it's because you didn't give any effort.

Prof Dees is awesome!! I currently am still taking him for ENC 1101 and having him is a pleasure to have. Very funny and easygoing, and cares on what his students think about the class material. Just make sure to submit on time and engage in group discussions in class at least once as that replaces some assignments.

I definitely recommend ENC 1101 and 1102 with Professor Dees, he is such a fun and understanding professor. As long as you do the quizzes and major assignments you're fine. Most classwork is super easy and often dismissed as long as you're in class. He gives us opportunities to revise our major assignments as many times as we want.

The whole class is about writing about yourself and "learning" about why writing is important. He allows 3 extra days for major assignments after the due date, to turn it in. There is two grade drop of short assignments. One opportunity for extra credit. Be aware if you are talking during class he will call you out and make you share lol.

I love Professor Dees! He made my experience with writing so much better, I honestly became a better writing because I took him for enc1101 and enc1102. He is so lenient and although the course load is a lot, you have so much time and opportunities to get it done, that it doesnt even feel like a lot. I recommend him to anyone!

Professor Dees was such a kind professor and made sure that his assignments were clear for all of his students. The class was really easy to get an A in. He provided a lot of extra credit assignments that were easy to complete. There are discussions, four major assignments (including a final portfolio), and quizzes.

A good younger professor that understands college students. Makes sure that everyone understands the assignments. I dislike writing a lot but his class made it easy, a very light workload as long as you do the assignments on time. Would take his class again.

One of the best professors I've ever had at UCF, he is very caring for his students and really wants them to do good. He is very helpful throughout the whole course and I would recommend anyone to take him as your professor.

Really enjoyed this class despite the fact I don't normally like english courses. Class was engaging and interesting. He is a very caring professor and is helpful in guiding you the right direction. Major assignments can be revised and you can learn to correct your writing mistakes.

such a good professor! i had him over the summer and it was definitely different than what I'm used to because it was writing about yourself. the papers were super easy once you get the hang of his style. he's also super understand and lenient with his students. his class wasn't just about the grade, but actually learning.

4 major projects which are cumulative to the 3rd project. The 4th is an e-portfolio. There'll be other smaller writing assignments but he makes it so you have a step-by-step guideline. Gives great feedback and updates on how to better progress through the semester.

He is there to help you succeed and watch your knowledge grow on writing. He's super passionate about future generations seeing the importance of writing and I appreciate that. The course-load can be tricky, but he understands and give extended deadlines and lots of extra time. If you do or don't like writing, you'll still get a kick out of this.

Best professor ever! He is almost always available for you when you need help so don't hesitate to reach out to him and go to his office hours. Assignments were simple and you actually learn something from them. You have 4 major assignments throughout the semester but as long as you stay on top of your work you are going to succeed.

Super great professor! He genuinely cares about his students, and made the writing process extremely easy to follow. The only reason to not get an A would be if you never came to class and never did your assignments. Would 100% take again.
