he's a relatively interesting professor, not very difficult. he comes off as a tad arrogant at times, but it's appropriate since he's smarter then you.
at first i was unsure but now ive realized hes the only smart teacher at edison.. this class is fun and interesting.. def. take him
take professor wayne for a easy A, over the summer semester.
GREAT PROFESSOR...KNOWS HOW TO KEEP STUDENTS IN TUNE WITH THE CLASS AND STILL JOKES AND HAS FUN :-)
He is a really funny guy, and really makes you seel comfortable right off that bat on your first day of class!
A little strange, but humorous and entertaining. He is kind, but he has his pet peeves. Very fair with this grading.
Good teacher with a vast amount of knowledge on the subject. Has a sense of humor which makes the class do by quicker. Is fair in his grading and has an easy final. I highly recommend him for English I.
Great guy with a great sense of humor. If you want to get into a class that you are free to express your opinion in... Then this is the class!
Professor Wayne is AWESOME! He's extremely fair, funny and likes originality! If you're into self expression, this is the class to take!
Wayne was a great prof. with a sense of humor. The class goes by pretty fast as long as you speak up a bit and voice your opinion. study for the exams!
HE WAS A FUN TEACHER, BUT HE WAS A LITTLE OF A HOT HEAD. wOULD GET MAD AND FLIP OUT FOR NO REASON (IE. IF SOMEONE GOES AGAINST WHAT HE'S SAYING). bUT HE'S A FAIR TEACHER, GRADES ON CONTENT. jUST READ THE STORIES (WHICH AREN'T BAD) AND YOU'LL DO WELL.
I took both Comp I & II with Wayne and got a B both times. He grades more on content then on thought. Keeps the class interesting and you only write like 5 papers. Not bad.
Prof Wayne is.. unique! If you do the readings and are prepared for class, you'll get an A+, but not without withstanding a wild ride! Wayne makes you speak up and will grill you for an opinion. A nice guy, but if you're a timid person, be prepared to overcome that! Overall, you'll enjoy the class, but be prepared for an interesting ride!
he is a great professor. his classes are easy and fun to go to.
He is a great teacher. I loved attending his classes. As long as you do the papers you will pass the class.
Pof. Wayne is a great teacher, super nice and knows his material very well. as long as you read the stories and poems it'll be cake, the class goes by very quickly and fun. I didnt write any papers and aced my midterm and final. Best class at edison. Take him for both Comp I and II
Prof. Wayne is the man! I took him for both comp 1 and 2 and i LOOOVVVEEEDD his class, he is brilliant and so funny. Its a class that makes your day better just because hes so chill and funny. Definately not a hard class to pass but you do have to do what he asks of you. I got an A in class no sweat. He is AWESOME
He is very good and flexible
Professor Wayne is the best in the business. And he likes to fish. Prepare to free your mind!
Prof. Wayne had to be my favorite teacher thus far. I loved going to his class and having awesome debates. He teaches about REAL life and tries to get students to think outside the box. His papers are on very interesting topics (make sure you use a creative title). I loved his class! I'm so sad I can't take it again :(
He's a great teacher
I highly recommend Professor Thomas. He is hilarious, entertaining, prompts in-class debates, and very sharp. Make sure you come to class on time, bring your textbook, and speak up!
Professor Wayne is my favorite teacher. If you can't take a joke, dont take this class because 99.99% of the time he is not being serious. He made english fun which i didn't even know was possible. If you do the papers and make an effort you will do fine. Easiest class i took thus far.
he is amazing
great prof.
this guy is awesome! such a sun class!
awesome!
one of the best at edison, do the readings and you should do fine
He is hilarious and keeps class entertaining. You only have four essays and two in the final exam. He grades them so easily and if you have anything less then a B in his class then you either didn?t turn in an essay or just don?t know how to write a single sentence! Extremely easy, you must take him if you want to take Comp 2!
I LOVE Professor Wayne!! This class is so much fun, you will look forward to class most of the time. He is a very interesting man, knows his stuff. Ladies, watchout because you will fall in love with him! <3 He's kinda hot in that mysterious silver fox kinda way ;) Totallly recommend this class!! BUT it's more of an easy B than an easy A..
Great prof!
Best professor ever
Professor Wayne is an absolutely outstanding teacher! I could ramble on and on about why I enjoy his class, but I'd just be repeating what others have praised here.
He makes fun of EVERYONE. Don't take this class if you are uptight. There are about 4 papers that are graded based on creativity and grammar. The class is fairly easy overall. The prof is cynical. There are three rules: don't be late, don't eat food, dont use your cellphone.
At first he's a little different...but after you get used to him his class is great!
Nice Guy. Fun class. The class goes by fast. It is easy to get a B, and he accepts late work. If you need to get an A, I wouldn't recommend to take the class with him. He is very cynical and makes fun of everybody, be ready!!
Take his class as long as you're not uptight or overly sensitive :) He speaks his mind but he keeps the class fun and interesting! Don't even think about bringing food or drink to class, turn off your cell phone and keep it out of his sight (don't even TRY to sneak in that text message when you think he's not looking), and show up on time.
This guy is mad scientist funny... He brings a lot of light to literature that seems dull and boring. I'd recommend him to anyone looking to walk away with a something more than just an A+... His class is worth so much more than to just say it's an easy grade...
If you like to debate in class over Kafka or any classic lit, take Prof. wayne! He's hilarious and loves an intelligent argument on things that matter to the classic. Taken him three times, would love to again. Sarcastic but fun!
Wayne is awesome. He is extremely knowledgeable about the subject matter being taught and gets the class to participate in discussions so that they may actually think(novel concept eh?). Would highly recommend him to anyone who actually cares to learn something.
My class with Prof. Wayne was by far the most interesting of the semester! He's sarcastic but funny, and really knows his stuff - I learned a lot. If you love a good discussion and don't mind speaking up in class, he is the one to take. However, don't get on his bad side (coming in late to class or cell phone use), he *will* publicly ridicule you.
Prof. Wayne is the best teacher I've ever had in my life, and im not exaggarating. He is the funniest person I have ever met, there was not one class I went to where I didn't laugh or smile. On top of that his class is fun, he lets you write about interesting things and as long as your papers interest him you'll get an A. Your crazy NOT to take him
Professor Wayne was and still is my FAVORITE teacher out of all my classes. I learned a lot and although he is very cynical and critical, he is the most passionate teacher Ive ever had and he cared about our opinions and what our studies meant to us. I recommend his classes to anyone I know who wants to take britlit.
hes terrific!
Prof Wayne is a great teacher. He is perfect for students who are just starting out in school. So if your new to higher education take him. He is a great starter professor and will help you adjust to more difficult classes you will have in the future. Class act all they way! I took him 2 years ago and he still is Number #1 in my book of the best.
If other teachers were half as passionate about teaching as Dr. Wayne is, the world would be a better place. He is critical, and sometimes cynical - but its all in a fun way to help you become a better writer and student in general. Do yourself a favor and take his class. You will learn many things, and a few things about yourself!
Best class and teacher ever. I'm currently in his Comp 1 class and I refuse to take another professor for Comp 2! He's beyond the best. TAKE HIM!! you won't regret it!!! textbook use is low, he keeps you laughing all class and he's just so cool!!
This guy is extremely smart and he knows what he's teaching! I wish more composition profesors thought like him. He's also got the best sense of humor ever!
he is an awesome professor. hes taught me so much n helped me improve my writing so much. i refused to have a different comp teacher. hes definitely the best and you'll have a blast in his class.just dont use cellar devices or come to class late. hes very sarcastic as well as funny and thats why i like him as a teacher so much
At first I found Professor Wayne quite annoying. He has a great hatred for tourists, technology, and cars; however, over time I began to enjoy his personality and character. Not only is he entertaining but he is great at teaching literature. I would recommend this class to anyone. I am most definitely going to miss him and the class.
I had professor Wayne for comp 1 and absolutely enjoyed his class. I definitely recommend him for anyone looking to take comp 1. but comp 2 is a totally diferet story. he is not clear on how he grades, he is disrespectful, and his usage of class time is a waste. take him for comp 1, NOT 2.
Best proff i ever had, very funny keeps class very exciting, dont miss class and dont continiuosly come to class late, because he will put you on the spot.. he doesnt take attendance but he knows when your not here he knows all his students name, thats why i love him.. i wish he was teaching Humanities!!
Prof. Wayne has a great sense of humor and always makes class fun. I actually looked forward to being there. Never miss a day and always be on time if you don't want to get picked on. :) Never gives homework but does expect you to go home and read. Class time is mainly spent discussing the readings and everyone gives their opinion. Will miss him!
Prof. Wayne is a great teacher if you can take the heat. He is extremely sarcastic and will pick on you if you're late to class. Other than that, every class he has us laughing, he is very helpful, and we only do a couple papers. GREAT CLASS. I LOVED IT!
Different teaching style - u won't find many teachers like this one. Makes you think for yourself. Obviously a very intelligent and well read person. Knows a few languages fluently. Grades more on effort than ability. Goes easy on those that struggle but hard on those who don't try or show up. Very sarcastic but it is an interesting change of pace.
He's so cool! Very funny! I'd take him again, again and again.
He's fantastic. The people in here that have negative reviews must have been the people who didn't come to class, do the reading, or came late. He expects from you what a college prof should. You have to read and discuss the material. He grades you on your effort, what more could you ask for? He's a great teacher, if you can deal with his humor.
GREAT teacher-changed the way I think! You only have to read the book in class but you learn more than other classes that follow it.He acts grumpy but it is a show. Come on time, don't miss, try your best and you'll get an A or B. Just be careful not to fall in love! He doesn't have typical beauty but so smart & rough around the edges. Take him!
Great professor! He has fun and jokes around with the class. The book is a must and bring it to every class! You have to read one story or poem after each class as homework and he talks about it the next class. As long as you read the assignments its an easy A!
Fun class all he expects is class participation and his 3 golden rules to be obeyed 1. No drinks 2. No food 3. No cell phones all his BIGGEST pet peeves!!!! Follow these rules and you'll be fine ow and dont wear skin so soft to class very open topics, and fun sarcasm. If your a sensitive person I suggest you not take his class.
This guy is THE MAN. I would take his class over and over if I could. I got an A because I worked hard, but I had SO much fun doing it. His sense of humor is beyond the average professor, and he will go out of his way to help you in any grey area you have. His class does provide challenge, so put in the work and you will get the A!
AMAZING! He is a tough teach if you fool around and don't take class seriously. Other than that he is fantastic. Super helpful, very entertaining, great teacher. He made getting up for an early morning class something I looked forward to.
Professor Wayne was awesome! My first class ever taken in college and it was so fun! Only have too write a few essays with just a max. of 2 pages! and you pick the topics! grades really easy! other then that no homework and he makes you want to actually attend class! i reccommend this pro. to everyone!!! cant wait to take his comp.2 class :)
Prof Wayne is an AWESOME teacher. Before his class, I had no interest in writing. He's highly complementary to those who deserve it, and always looks for ways to make the dry topic of essay writing more interesting. Have a sense of humor about yourself if you're going to come to this class, he'll definitely test it.
Funniest prof ever. All you have to do is show up, and write your papers in your own words and you get A's. I got an A's in comp I & comp II essay! He is hilarious if you have any sense of humor and very sociable. Most interesting class I have had my whole life. Definitely take him you WILL NOT regret it! :)
Very funny, smart dude. Has very thought provoking humored questions. Once you get on his good side, everything will be fine for you. He seems intimidating at first, but get to know him and you won't regret it.
Professor Wayne is great! His class is easy, as long as you do the work you'll get a good grade. He tells you exactly how he wants his papers formatted and then lets you write in your own style. Attendance is preferred. The textbook is needed but we skim through it most of the time. His sense of humor is hilarious.
Professor Wayne was AMAZING. Would most certainly recommend him. Any negative comments made about him come from people with no sense of humor. If you are a first year student he is an excellent teacher, gives a really good intro. to college style writing.
Professor Wayne is a really funny guy in some ways. NO HOMEWORKS, only several papers for the semester. He grades really hard on spelling and grammar errors. He gets off the topic very often, and no clear instructions. Always make sure to double check your paper for errors before turn it in. If you make no errors, it will be an easy A.
Professor Wayne is a really funny guy in some ways. NO HOMEWORKS, only several papers for the semester. He grades really hard on spelling and grammar errors. No clear instructions. Always make sure to double check your paper for errors before turn it in. If you make no errors, it will be an easy A.(The correction of below comment)
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU DON'T HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR. Proffesor Wayne was a class i always looked foward. He's Hilarious and only makes you do what Comp I is based on (basic essays). MUST BRING BOOK.Yay no Homework. He grades like a "proffesor" so go to the Writing Center!!! I received a "B" in his class but got a "A" on my research paper.
This is NOT a "EASY A" class. You must work hard to get the grade you deserve. You MUST bring your book to class. No HW. Attendance is a grade (he's good with names and will know who's absent). Few essays (some are 'do IN CLAss essays'). Have a sense of Humor. If you are good with essays you will not struggle to pass.DONOT BELATE.NOFOOD.NOPHONES!!
Wayne is not your average teacher! He is a funny guy and class is funny but his test are hard and I barley passed the class ! You really need to understand the poems and story's you read !
Excellent professor. You had better be prepared for the class and take your school work seriously. If you are truly into the subject at hand, you will enjoy this professor very much. I can't say he will go easy on you, but he certainly does his job properly. Easily the best literature professor I have ever had.
Don't skip this class. Must have a sense of humor. Tough grader.
Greatttt
I took Wayne for comp 1 & 2, as long as you show up for class prepared you'll pass with no problem!
I have no idea why you wouldn't like him. As long as you don't get butt hurt over small things you will like him. Easy A.
WARNING: he's strict about cell phone use, drinkingeating, tardiness, and lack of required books. He also puts people on the spot frequently, and assigns a lot of reading and in class writing. If you can handle that, TAKE HIM, because his classes are entertaining, thought-provoking, and unique. You won't have a boring semester with him!
Wayne is a sarcastic, seemingly-indifferent individual on the outside and a caring, respectable guy on the inside. All he wants from you is to show up to class and take your work seriously. He isn't a traditional grader but he's not that strict of one either. He mainly grades you based on attendance and performance in class. I'd take him again.
If you are only taking this class because it's required, take another professor. If you are taking this class because you love literature, enjoy! I love his teaching style, but he WILL embarrass you if you are disrespectful or unprepared. Take note, snotty children who think they're adults.
Wayne is extremely sarcastic and funny, but don't be disrespectful or late! He kicked me out once for having my phone on the desk- but other than that his grading is easy and he just wants you to show up and somewhat pay attention. He's really goofy and really into his literature.
T-Wayne is super sarcastic and hilarious. Many people left the first day but i'm glad I stayed. There was never a dull moment in class. He doesn't grade attendance but he knows when you're not in class. The whole semester was just 5 essays no tests, and 2 in class essays for the final. His only rules are no food, drinks, or phones. I recommend him.
if you don't get along with his style of teaching, you may not be intelligent.
I took his class approximately a million years ago, and he changed the course of my life. I majored in English because of him. Dr. Wayne is a brilliant person and and engaging teacher.
He's such a great professor! I was so upset that I was unable to take him for ENC1102! He's really funny. There are no tests and the final is just two in class essays. I took him in fall of '15 and he was awesome! He hates technology so don't be on your phone. He old fashion and likes to make fun of those who don't show up! NO LATE PAPERS!!!
Don't miss class and show respect. He's an extremely intelligent professor who is willing to help. Listen to what he has to say, its nearly always interesting and informative. Don't use your phone, bring a plastic bottle to class or talk when he is. There are always great discussions in class if you just wait a minute. Nearly everythings a debate!
Professor Wayne is seriously the funniest professor you will ever have, he does not take excuses, if you go to class and do your work he will not bother you, he is blatantly honest, and loves to crack jokes, and then laugh at himself because he is simply hilarious. No phones! No food! No drinks except water! No leaving his classroom! Take Him!!!
He's a great teacher if you follow the rules. 5 essays, with MLA format. One research paper. Very straightforward. Don't miss class unless you forgot the textbook - you'll probably be sent out. The lectures are always fun and very discussion-based, and he has an awesome dry sense of humor. He also gives very good feedback if you're having trouble.
Professor Wayne is funny and entertaining. He encourages debate and discussion during class. It's a writing class, so be prepared to write quite a few papers. He does give good feedback. Don't bring food, drinks, or you phone to class and don't show up late.
Professor Wayne loves to joke, so make sure you joke back with him! All he asks is for you to show up on time and bring your textbooks. He hates cellphones and electronics in general. Easy class to take, all you have to do is follow MLA format on your papers and you should be good to go!
Professor Wayne always wants the best out of you, so if you decide to take him make sure you want to do your best. Textbooks are required, he hates phones and technology overall and if you work with him classes are fun and you can actually learn from your mistakes.
Professor Wayne is a very knowledgable professor. He is honest and is not afraid to say what is on his mind. He hates cell phones and only water is allowed in class. He is a bit intimidating at first, but you'll get used to it. He gives very good feedback on papers. The class is overall pretty easy if you show up and get your work done. Take him!
Professor Wayne was an awesome teacher. He loves to joke around with you so don't take it personal. His class was easy. Give you a week to get each essay done. If you don't show up to his class you will fail.
Likes to crack jokes but is very fair when it comes to grading. Do not come to class late! Other than that theres not much work. He likes to rant on in his lectures; mostly concerning personal opinion.
Is a different kind of professor. Good guy tho.
Amazing instructor
This Professor does not often tell you when you need to bring your textbooks, but if you do not bring them he will kick you out of class. Tries to be funny but just sounds condescending and allows students to get him off on a tangent that will take up the majority of class. Wrote about 5 essays and everything else was busy work. Hated every class.
Wayne is great but if you can't handle dark humor and sarcasm, don't take his class. If you're sensitive, you won't do well. He'll call you out, he hates cell phones, do NOT come in late or bring food into class, always bring your book, don't skip class and you'll be fine. He will teach you so much. Do the reading and come to class. He's amazing.
I loved him. We are all adults. Be responsible, bring your book, do what is asked, keep your phones out of site and don't talk in his class. You do all that & you will be fine. I took him for both comp 1 & 2 when I was 18 and I didn't have an issue. You will be fine.
Very easy class. Do not eat food or use cellphones in his class.
Wayne is amazing. I highly recommend him.
such an easy professor, very nice and funny. He doesn't like phones, so just keep them out of his site. Barely any homework.
Skeptical at first, but it's fairly easy and he's helpful and funny.
Hes a great professor. Very realistic and hilarious. Hes very straight up and will call on you in front of class to point something out and tell you how it is. Just do your essays and turn them in on time and he wont pick on you. Never use basic topics for your essays. HE WILL CALL YOU OUT.
Such a great professor. I highly recommend Professor Wayne.
Im currently taking this class and this professor is awesome. He lets class out early almost everyday so try to take his class last so you can leave campus early. Class is based off 5 papers and a research paper. Super fair grader. He has a very dark and dry sense of humor so if youre easily offended you probably shouldnt take this class.
Very stern. Stay on his good side. Otherwise, he is very funny and respectable and is a good teacher. His work load is NOT much. We've done about 5 essays this semester in Comp I and each have only been 2 pages. final paper is a research paper and is 4 pages. Don't act funny with him.
Very stern, very dry and dark sense of humor. He doesn't really ever give homework besides the assigned reading. Just participate, don't eat/drink in his class, and keep your cellphones away.
Professor Wayne is an absolutely amazing professor. It is a lot of writing but he pushes you to do your best and really form your craft. I loved taking ENC 1101 with him so much I have registered to take ENC 1102 with him next semester. He genuinely cares about his students and how they perform. You would not regret taking a class with him!!
Professor Wayne was okay. He tells a lot of jokes. He sometimes has a dry sense of humor.
Amazing professor for American Lit. He is very passionate.
Amazing
Highly recommend Professor Wayne
He is very sketchy at first. But you get used to him. Do not use electronics or have food or drinks in his class. If you are easily insulted DO NOT take him. He has a very dark sense of humor. Although very great professor.
Probably the best professor I have taken at Fsw. Very easy class if you can stand his sarcasm. Very understanding man.
AMAZING TEACHER, THE BEST YOU WILL PASS SHOW UP AND TRY THATS ALL.. DONT BE LAZY. HE DONT GIVE YOU ALOT TO DO SO WHAT MORE CAN YOU ASK FOR. I TOOK HIM TWICE NOW, BEST VERY BEST CANT LIE YALL.
Okay Wayne isn't bad. But his class has no structure. He always asks students what happens next in the class. He has students run his class. Which gets kind of annoying.
Great teacher, but you have to do the readings and show up to class every day. Very interesting lectures, my only regret is that I didnt get the chance to take more of his classes. Hes usually available on campus and I would highly recommend talking to him out of class about feedback. Wayne is one of the best professors at FSW in my opinion.
I took him for AML 2010 and 2020. He was pretty good in AML 2020. Very understanding. But never used canvas. Only 3 assignments. Even though it is supposed to be writing intensive.
Don't get me wrong. Wayne is okay. He is sarcastic. Sometimes funny. But needs to be more serious. The readings are crucial to pass. If you do not read, do not even bother coming to class the next time. He does not use canvas. There is one paper and 2 exams. Exams are based on the readings. This course also needs more structure. All in all okay.
Professor isn't an all bad teacher, but he is terrible when it comes to using canvas and assigning grades. I dont really have an issue with that, the only problem i have is that he only grade 3 assignment. Either than that his an awesome teacher who I wouldn't mind taking again, but he has to use canvas and use more than 3 assignment.
He's cool but the way he runs class is a NO!! You have to READ if you don't read don't bother coming to class. He doesn't use canvas, theres no hw no quizzes nothing. Just the mid term and the final, which are terrible. No study guide given he just makes up the questions the day of and expects you to remember from the previous months worth reading.
Prof. Wayne is actually a really good teacher. A lot of people don't like him because he doesn't communicate through canvas or email. The grade he gives you on your paper is your average grade honestly. he doesn't do it by percentage. He is really funny and overall one of the best professor I've had at FSW.
At first, I was very skeptical about Professor Wayne. I couldn't tell if I would like being in his class or not. However, this is my second time taking one of his classes, so I think it'd be safe to say that I enjoy having him as my teacher. Usually you'll do a couple in-class essays, a couple outside of class, and a research paper.
Easy grader on papers. Class has no structure. Would not recommend.
Professor seems quite weird at first, but overall a solid professor. Never skip class since he never uses Canvas for anything other than grading. Fair deadlines in my opinion, and if you attend the lectures, the essay requirements and prompts are easy enough to follow. Overall nice choice.
I read the reviews before posting my own, many of which have negative feedback which a part of me understands and a part of me doesn't. He's incredibly sarcastic and witty which I adore, it makes class enjoyable. If you like to write, this class should be an easy A for you, he was an easy grader. He grades by average not by percentage.
Would take this class again. He is a great professor and makes the class easy for everyone, plus has a great sense of humor.
Great class. If you do not like readings. Do not take.
Prof. Wayne is a nice guy with a strong personality that clashes with personalities of average college students, especially shy ones. If you can handle awkward humor and aren't sensitive, you'll enjoy the class. He says textbook is required but half the class didn't get a book and shared with those who did. Paperspersonal views/not much citing.
I came here before selecting him and I shouldn't have listen to some of the good comments. This professor like to make "jokes" that aren't so funny. He will call you out in front of the whole class if you: Don't understand the assignment, are late by 5 minutes, or if you go to the bathroom during class. I do not recommend him. I would give him a 0.
Great professor. Does not assign homework.
Weird dude but an awesome professor none the less. Just do all the essays he assigns and you'll pass. He'll make you read your papers out loud though and he'll call you out at times but he's only playing around half the time.
Don't take this class unless you actually like to read and analyze because he'll expect that from you on your tests and papers and in class discussion. Very interesting and entertaining lectures, MAKE SURE you take notes on them. Con is that he doesn't do any sort of technology so you'll have no idea what your grade is until the complete end
Professor Wayne truly is a great professor, the students that don't like him are the ones that are not willing to put in the effort to actually think critically. He is one of a kind and will push you to be a better writer/thinker. He can be at times pessimistic, but he is one of the best you'll find. His class is an experience you will never forget
Has a really dry sense of humor, which kind of rubs some people the wrong way, but I loved having him, he was a cool guy and made me really think and learn to appreciate literature. You can tell he's very passionate about what he teaches and enjoys what he does. He'll call you out on anything and if your gonna be late don't bother coming in.
He does not use canvas. He does not reply to emails. He does not provide rubrics.
This class had no structure. No set due dates. Students always worried about assignments. Did not use canvas. Reminds you of high school. Every day you come in and discuss the readings. If you dont do the homework dont show up. Two papers a midterm and final. I would not recommend him. He insults students. Hes also never in his office. Dont take
I'm not sure why there's mixed reviews. He has a dry sense of humor, which people can take personally. Overall, he was a great teacher and I liked going to his class. All we do is read poems and then discuss them in class. Be ready to be called on.
Pretty chill teacher , has dry sense of humor but in a way still makes the class laugh , easy class overall , if you come to class and do all the essays you should be fine .Dont come to class late because he will call you out . Essays are overall narrative besides the research essay , 5 essays for one semester not too bad .
This professor is an amazing teacher you just have to put in the work and do exactly what he wants and should be an easy grade. He does NOT use canvas everything is turned in through paper. There is about 4 essays some in class and some out of class normally 2-4 pages long, research paper 4 pages have over a month to do, and final exam 2 essays.
Professor Wayne is a old fashion professional. He doesn't use canvas and he doesn't like any phones in class. He uses a old book for this class that is very difficult to find for a good price in the market. He insults students, but he is a great writer. I do not recommend this professor for international students.
This class was all over the place. He did not give clear grading criteria. He did not provide rubrics for assignments. He did not use canvas. The due dates are not provided until the last minute. If you do not do the readings, do not show up.
This class and instructor were not pleasant
I was excited to learn about American Literature. The most we did was discuss the textbook readings we read before. This class had no interaction. The professor does not assign due dates ahead of time. He would often get annoyed when he is asked when a paper is due, or when the midterm and final exam were. He does not use canvas or reply to emails.
He was alright, and the class was easy, but you really have to study for the midterm and final. 10 short IDs and a long-form essay. IDs is when he uses a reference from any of the poems and stories we have read, and you are expected to know where it is from & write about it. My only critique is that he is a boomer who complains A LOT. Fine overall.
Not a good professor at all. Refused to do zoom after a hurricane happened and refused to give feedback on essays. Don't take this professor he doesn't care about your success.
Professor Wayne is a good professor, he has a very dry and sarcastic sense os humor. He does a few essays throughout the seamster. I recommend his class.
Definitely not one for technology. Very dry humor. That said, I get it, and frankly I enjoy it. Sitting in the front and being outspoken definitely helps to get on his good side.
since this website took down my other rating, im gonna say this in the nicest way possible. dont take this professor if u wanna pass. he gives no instruction or feedback whatsoever, as well as only grading TWO essays in the semester, and when asked about something, he would shrug and simply say "idk?". take this class at ur own risk LMAO
If you can't write essays SOLELY with a pen/paper and can't take criticism, find another teacher. Remember to read the material two or three times before you go into class and practice writing in class. There are no notes on the midterm or final. Write down EVERYTHING you read in class and memorize the finer details of them a few days in advance.
DO NOT TAKE THIS GUY AGAIN. he is not funny and hate helping his students. One time i asked about the homework from last night and he told me to "shoe".
I think he is a decent professor, does not like technology, but is very helpful in what you need to do. I took him fall of 2022 and right after the hurricane. I still passed and earned credit in his class. Basic comp course, cuts out the BS.
DON'T, JUST DON'T. Doesn't like helping students, I care about my classes and what is expected, especially if I wasn't there a day. One time I sent him an email and he said " in class" to a paragraph of well-written and respectful questions that I needed answers to. Y'all can find better! I recommend Pilarski he's an amazing professor.
He is a great professor. He does not like using technology, so bring pencil/pen and paper. You will read some of your papers out loud to the rest of the class, or sometimes your writing topics. He will give you advice on your papers during class and also in private. The only thing you need to do is do the assignments and you will be good to go.
Professor Wayne was a great teacher for me personally. If you struggle to write, especially on pen and paper, I would not recommend him. He's a tough grader but his feedback is very clear and concise, and I highly recommend him if you're looking for a teacher with tough love.
Your emails wont be responded. He's barely in his office and usually gets bothered when asked questions. Spends a good chunk of the class complaining and picking on late students, however the phrases he does mention about the reading make sure to always write down. Everything is on pen and paper, and make sure you KNOW the readings inside and out.
Do not take this class if you have trouble spelling. Even if you have a perfect paper but like three misspelled words, you automatically go down to a B. His class isn't extremely hard, as he only has like 5 assignments that you have to do all year. But he is a harsh grader, and can be known to grade based on mood, so turn in some stuff early.
Complete the readings and come to class you should be fine. Take extensive notes in class and participate in discussions. He is a very unique character but I enjoyed his lectures so much!
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. Grades are based on his own. The class has no structure and no rubric. I struggled and got As in Comp 1 & 2, but not this class. Heavy on spelling, assignments don't have clear guidelines. My friend who had a different prof got an A in this course with no stress, look for better options out there.
Please don't take this professor. We get graded on four things, a midterm, a reading analysis, a final and participation. Beware if you pull out an electronic he will snap at you. You can't even get up to use the bathroom or it's disrespectful. He lectures heavy about nonsense and loves to pick on his students. This class was confusing all semester
Be prepared to write essays by hand and know the readings inside out. Professor Wayne can be old-fashioned, but his insights are valuable. Unstuck ai was a lifesaver for studying.
Professor Wayne is pretty old fashioned and occasionally too cranky. He's got a dry sense of humor and is highly critical, sometimes too much. But do the readings, talk in class, and pay attention to what parts of the story he draws focus to and you'll do fine. And if he makes fun of you, it's because he sees potential but wants you to try harder
Professor Wayne is old fashioned and occasionally too cranky. He has a dry sense of humor and can be too harsh. But he's also entertaining and if you read the work and talk in class you will be fine. And if you are a student he picks on, chances are it's because you have potential but he knows you can do better. Definitely a tough love situation
Passionate and funny teacher. Tough grader- got an 86 on the midterm, final, and our out of class paper. Would honestly take him again if it wasn't for this. But, I don't believe the repeated grade was personal. I had not read many works of literature prior to this. He introduced me to many great writers I did not know.
cool and funny teacher, if you talk with him and get on his good side, you'll be fine. just don't disrespect him or otherwise you'll regret it. tough grader though, but for good reason. Overall, funny and passionate about his work, only 5 papers through the semester so it's not bad work-wise.
Overall, not bad he is very funny. But you must know the works inside and out. He has a very old school style of teaching and HATES PHONES. Very strict on phones in the class.
Professor Wayne gets a bad rep. but honestly his class was so easy. There is no homework and no graded assignments except for the three test all semester. Every class he gives you a short story to read and the following class he gives you a question to write an essay on. As long as you really know the story you will be completely fine.
Very funny and passionate professor; class was always engaging. We get graded on a few things, so just read the works and you'll be fine. Picks on students if they say something wrong, but it's because he wants you to do better. Got an 89 as final, very annoying but I doubt it was personal. Always being printed paper of works cause he hates phones.
He is funny but old-fashioned and doesn't allow electronics. Everything is written on paper, and spelling is important. If you struggle with writing, this course is not for you. The whole course consists of five papers, and that's it, but if you can write, this will be easy. Attendance is important because he doesn't post anything.
He's REALLY good and I love his humor. I'd recommend him for anyone. We only had like 4-5 writing assignments all together and there's no hw. He also lets you pick your own topics. He's really big on personality and spelling in your writing so make sure you know how to spell case if not, your essay can go from an A to a B real quick
Very great professor. He's very funny and all assignments were pretty easy and straightforward. No homework assignments were given. If you get your work done, this is an easy class to pass.
