He knows what good writing is and knows how to get his students to see it, too. If I ever make it as a writer, it is purely because of the guidance I received from him.

Easily one of the best professors I've ever had. He's a very smart guy and teaches content relevant to the 21st centuryunlike most English professors. More importantly, though, he helps you learn how to think critically and clearly.

He's a very gen Z type of professor. The most kindest professor and will always help you. If you don't get an A in this class then you're the problem.

Best 102 professor. Tells you exactly what you need to know and turn in. Usually 1 hw assignment a week that takes 10-30 minutes. 3 essays but gives great feedback and a line by line outline on how to get full points. Lots of extra cred ops. No way you should get anything other than an A.

Ted is the best english professor I have had at the U of A. He wastes no class time and doesn't assign busy work. He makes it very clear what he expects of his students and all work assigned is very do-able. He is always available to answer any questions and is SO helpful while doing so. He clearly cares about his students and is a great guy

The best. My expectations for his class were already pretty high after seeing his reviews, and he still managed to exceed them. His feedback is clear and detailed. Assignments are straightforward and he gives detailed structure guides for essays. He goes above and beyond to help his students both in and out of class.

McLoof was such a great professor. Two big papers that have extremely clear outlines, he even gives previous examples of the essays. One group project that was a debate, but your not graded on the actual debate, just your research before hand. He gave 3 extra-credit opportunities that totaled a 7% bump in your final grade. Very little homework.

BEST ENGLISH TEACHER EVER! Take this course! Ted is super cool and he really cares about his students. His content is so straightforward and interesting. He doesn't assign busy work and you can choose what you want to write about for the two main papers. He also offers lots of extra credit opportunities.

Prof. T is the kindest, most awesome professor you could hope for. I took his class in my Senior year, so I know what I'm talking about-- he's one of the best teachers at UofA. All of his assignments are fun and manageable + he's always available to help. It's a 'you get out what you put in' class, so make an effort. He's also just a super cool guy

Honestly, this was my favorite class I've ever taken. McLoof makes class super engaging. The work you do actually feels relevant, unlike other English classes. Projects seemed hard at first but through working on them they seem approachable. I loved coming into class everyday and I'm looking for other classes he teaches to take his class again!

I had Ted for an honors seminar, and he works very well in that format. He gives a lot of good feedback and can relate very well to his students. He was very passionate about the topic of the class, book to screen adaptations, and I would absolutely take another writing course with him because of how knowledgeable he is of his craft.

Mr. McLoof is one of if not the best teacher I've had while here during my freshman year. He is very lenient and genuinely cares about you and your growth. He cares more about teaching you than failing you and really wants you to understand what is being taught. He is very kind, patient, and knowledgeable. He is very willing to help with anything.
