Makes class fun. He grades your essay on things he didn't go over in class, so watch out. He also talks very fast. If you miss a class and a quiz is on for that day, oh well you get a zero on the quiz. Essay papers are looooooong. If you like to write and nothing else you will love this class. The reading is boring. Not enough hot girls in class.

Easiest A. I took him online the first 8 weeks while taking Micro. There are discussion boards and journal entries due almost every week. There are about 4 papers dues. All of these were super simple. As long as you're on topic and meet the word count, you're set. Gives great feedback, super organized, and grades super quick!

Absolutely fantastic teacher. I wish I could take him again for next semester, but he decided not to do in-person classes. He's serious when he says that he's going to teach you things that aren't just for his class, and can be used anywhere else. Just attend class, do the readings he gives, take the simple quizzes, write your papers, and you pass!

He's a superb teacher! He's funny, too. I definitely learned a lot from his class. We wrote four essays, had some reading quizzes, and he even gave us an extra credit opportunity at the end. He's strict with attendance, but if you keep up with your essays, show up for class, and read the assigned chapters, it's a very easy A.

I took his online class, and it was the easiest English class I've ever had! English requires a lot of reading and writing, but his class is easy and flows smoothly as long as you do your assigned readings and discussion board participation. Easy A!

Extremely tough grader. 50 points off a paper even if it is a couple hours late. He does not receive discussion post late. He deducted 20 points off one of my reading responses because I did not separate the paragraphs. Hes not understanding at all so don't bother asking for help.

Attend every class. KNOW YOUR GRAMMAR RULES. 50% Grammar 50% content. If you write well take his class, you won't regret it. Allows you to pick your topics and is really lenient at the end of the year. Ask him questions and he will help. He has awkward moments but super cool guy. I really enjoyed the class. It woke me up every day.

There were no opportunities to redo essays to improve your grade. This professor is not understanding AT ALL, so only take this class if you don't work or don't have a life outside of class.

This professor sets out clear expectations for assignments from the very beginning. There was a fair amount of writing involved, but it wasn't that horrible. There were about eight different writing assignments, usually ranging between 200 and 600 words, then one final paper of roughly 1500 to 2000 words with five sources.

Hes definitely a tough grader. The papers and discussions are all separated randomly, so keep up when theyre due. He dont take late papers. AND SPACE YOUR PARAGRAPHS! Cant believe he took off 25 points for this when the text input box on Canvas deletes it. You have to go back manually and enter spaces again after you type it in Word. Never again

Easy grader and clear expectations. Answers emails super quickly. Always provides reasoning for missed points and gives feedback for everything. Every unit usually has 1 open/written discussion, 1 reading response from textbook readings, and 1 essay which you're able to choose the topic yourself. No story readings or interpretations. Very enjoyable

Dr. Tariq Jawhar is the GOAT. In high school I absolutely sucked in honors English, Dr. Jawhar is an amazing human being, and I couldn't have passed this class without him. Assignments come in units which have anywhere from 2-5 assignments in them and he gives a good amount of time before the due date. Essays are short and not too tedious.
