Listen to him- he laughs like Ernie on Sesame Street! Very anal about grammer, have ALL papers checked at Writing Lab before turning in. Dry sense of humor, enjoyable class!

Do your homework. He walked out on my class because nobody read what they were supposed to.
BIG EGO
Great instructor! This is my second web class with him - structure of the syllabus, class lectures, and assignments well layed out. Highly recommend.
Greene was a very demanding teacher. He wouldn't settle for imcompitence. He felt that this is a college level course and therfore gave little slack and to get an "A" you had to earn it. Eccept for the final, all essays were written in class.
the best class ive ever taken! he is a wonderful professor!! very easy going and a great atmosphere in class!! i recommend taking his classes!! you wont regret it!

Arrogant man with a complex.... Makes a student think for his/her self yet hardly lends the support needed in a typical student/teacher relationship. His course was not all that difficult, however he was never clear with examples, instructions, or other necessary means of direction. Makes offensive remarks rather than "guide" like a teacher should
Horrilble, I'm sorry. I don't mean to be rude, but he IS! He had a huge ego and was very easily offended. I didnt care for him at all!

I enjoyed his class. He is entertaining and very eager to engage our interests. i look forward to taking any other class he may offer.
He is funny and keeps you interested in whatever subject you are discussing. If you are willing to put forth effort he is willing to help you. I would recomend taking one of his classes.
I liked his class, i thought he was very knowledeable but the only bad thing about the class was a lot of the times we got way off the subject. All in all though as long as you try he will help you.
Mediocrity+Tenure=Lazy and Arrogant. Tons of work; feedback only if requested; smart-aleck postings to the class on the web board. Thinks the world revolves around MLA. Avoid unless you like being insulted on a regular basis.
Very arrogant. He actually walked out on our class 5 minutes in one time because no one knew the answer to one of his questions about a book. He gives out way too much homework, over an hour every day. He didn't really teach you anything. It was all pretty much read what he assigns, then answer his questions..
Great professor. When it came down to writing our research papers at the end of the semester, he was great with meeting with us one on one - which I think says alot about a professor. I would highly recommend this professor.
Okay teacher, very arrogant though..
Very opinionated about things that should be kept out of the classroom. Assigned A LOT of reading assignments then never went over them and quite a few essays. It felt like in class all he did was lecture and never got our opinions on things.
Good teacher, lots of homework. umm he takes students out in the hallway and sometimes some will come back crying and leave...I dont know why...if they cheat or whatever that's not done in proper way. Don't get on his bad side I guess. Also he can be a pushover, he totally let my guy friend slide.
hes really funny, but he asks for alot of homework, and do ever never let him see u use phone on class , cuz he will put u down, he takes everything personal , but i had fun with him it was great class.. and dont come to class after him !!
An easy class in the begining if you keep up with the reading assignments. Hardest research paper of any other teacher! (min. 10 pages in APA) Passionate about what he does but he assumes we are all familiar with MLA and APA which takes a ton of work outside of class learn on your own) I'm a really good student and he made me a nervous wreck!
Terrible teacher!!!! Half the time, the whole class had no idea what he was talking about. Lessons have nothing to do with English. Mean to the students. Don't ask questions if you don't want them to be shot down with a smart remark.
Worst teacher ever! If you find out he is your professor don't walk, RUN in the other direction! Talks to you like you are dumb and talks about WAY too many personal issues in class. Spoke in a sexually vulgar manner and mean to students, called one girl ugly! Only ask questions if you are ready to feel stupid. HORRIBLE PROFESSOR!
Prof. Greene is a great professor for those that understand him, you have to have tough skin, and a quick comeback to deal with him. But truly, he is a pushover, the more questions you ask the less brash the answers become. Not for soft skinned students.
Avoid if possible. Says he does not give A grades, this demonstrates his insecurities in his ability to produce A students. class had little to do with Composition. interesting person though
Napoleon... little man's syndrome. I thought he might try to beat me up. Impossible to have a two sided conversation with. Run to Cheech and Chong to teach you compostiion first.
this guy is a joke.. he always has a comment about something... boring as all hell and if he doesnt like you from day one you are going to do horrible...
Thought he was cool all semester, then the research paper. Not helpful or clear on the requirements. When I met with him in private he made sexual comments in regards to my topic. Don't care if they weren't directed at me, it was so out of line. Disgusting.
Prof. Greene was clear and enthusiastic about his work. He was not a sissy when he was grading, so it was tough... But other teachers are usually too easy . I liked having him as my professor and am excited to take his ENG 1020 class!
I like him both as a teacher and as a person. I'm excited to attend his 1020 class.
He was the best teacher i have ever had. i absolutely loved coming to class every monday. he was very entertaining and always kept my attention and kept me interested. He's got such a funny personality. The class itself was also very simple as long as you wrote your 3 papers. However you MUST go to class or you lose points.
He doesn't really give you grades or feedback. If you turn everything in on time and it's at least moderately readable, you'll get full credit. Hilarious, enjoyable teacher. Has strange sense of humor and makes a lot of sexual references towards poems and such. An extremely easy class to pass. Just, don't expect to learn anything.
He was a great teacher. He definitely took pride in teaching English well. I encourage people to take a class with him.
He loves his job, and takes much pride in it. Definitely not your monotone boring English teacher. If you are a slacker and a sensitive person, I wouldn't take him. Overall, I liked this teacher and earned an A. EVERYTHING HE TALKS IN CLASS, IS ON YOUR TEST, so I would pay close attention.
Takes his class personally which is good but can come across very rude and blunt
Brilliant, once you get him. You need a certain level of intelligence to see past his humor and understand him. Don't take his class if you are not serious about learning and putting in effort and time. I learned a lot just from listening to him. You don't belong in his class if you are lazy, but then also you don't belong in college either.
Great professor! Makes his classes as fun as possible but also makes sure to get down to the main point of it all. Very helpful and clear what is needed to pass his class. Strongly recommend.
Very helpful with whatever you need. He makes the class fun as much as possible. Definitely a better writer after this class.
His explanation to the material was poor. He thinks the students aware of all information.
Great Professor... He is very passionate about his job. I took both 1010 and 1020 with him and had a blast. I would recommend this professor to anyone. Just know what is expected and do the work..
Probably one of the best teachers I will ever have in the class room! He makes the class really entertaining and helps you when you are writing essays. Highly recommend!
Extremely rude and arrogant!He always talks down to you when you try and ask him a question, as if you should already know the answer.
He was an interesting person and try to make the class fun but he was very rude and called students out on their reports in front of everyone. He talks down to you as if you should already know everything about English
Over all the class is easy, and he really encourages you to look deeper within your studies. He's sort of interesting, tries to make the class fun, but Professor Greene may not be so appealing to people who want more of a really engaging class. This class is an easy A yet helps you to explore different dimensions of english literature.
If you skip his class or if he's in a bad mood, he gets extremely feisty. The essay comments we get back are very blunt and rude. If he doesn't like you, you won't get good grades. I don't get what he wants. He expects us to be great writers, but if we write something extremely good, he'll tell us that it's too good for a college freshman to write.
He is the rudest teacher I've ever had. He acts as if all the students should know what they're doing, and he doesn't help explain anything at all. If he is having a bad day or in a bad mood, he takes it out on you. He doesn't clarify things, and he doesn't help you if you are struggling with an assignment.
When he is lecturing he is an amazing teacher, learned a lot about writing in this class. He has an unusual sense of humor which can be taken as being rude at times. He doesn't put up with laziness or excuses. He follows his syllabus, what is expected is in writing, follow it and you will end up with an A. He pushes you.
Extremely arrogant, unhelpful, rude, and mean .. Greene doesn't know when to stop talking and make stupid comments. Also, he makes inappropriate comments at class. He has awful teaching skills, i don't understand how he is not fired yet. I was doing well in his class, but i would not recommend him to anyone!
I spent six hours on my research paper that he called wrong and told me to redo. He didn't even look at it and claimed it was lazy and messy and he didn't understand how "someone who comes to class everyday can fail". He expected me to know everything and he denied the fact that other classmates came up to me asking for help. Very unprofessional.
Lectures are long, but clearly explains what he wants. Work hard and you'll get a good grade. Can grade your papers hard but there is other ways to get easy points if you always attend class.
Professor Greene has a very unique sense of humor. I'm not one who is easily offended, but I could see his jokes offending some students. He is a tough grader, but you will become a better writer if you listen to what he has to say. If you aren't a strong writer, or if you don't want to become a better writer, then you may want to look elsewhere.
Professor Greene is an amazing teacher who will inspire you to be the best you can be. I really enjoyed his style of lecturing which is not boring at all and it still resonates with me. If you show up for class and do the work, you will be fine. He is a hard teacher, but that is because he demands that his students go to next level prepared.
He's really flexible with giving extensions and good at answering questions. He has good notes, but they're scattered all over the board. However he does not take well to disrespect or anything that could be interpreted as such. He also says "so do you get the point(or idea)" a LOT so if that would bother you, don't take the class.
Worst professor I ever had and will have. He is extremely rude and does not give you a chance to explain yourself when something goes wrong. If he does not like you, well good luck trying to pass because he will try to degrade you in many ways as possible. He can also be very talkative and would try to point people's flaws out.
He was very rude and unhelpful. I will NEVER take his class again. By far the worst professor I have ever had. He is so full of himself.
Terrible teacher. Terrible personality. Hated the class.
His class made me want to sleep. He tried to be funny and laughed at all of his own jokes. He ranted about irrelevant things and if he didn't use the entire class time, he went over. I would not recommend taking his class.
Gives a good amount of homework, will be doing lots of writing. Was funny and liked to tell jokes. Wasn't too tough of a grader, do your best and will help you if needed. If you get an A on your rough draft and the preparations, you don't need to submit a final paper. Puts a lot of emphasis on citations. Would take him again.
He seems funny and nice at first but when you ask for help he won't tell you specifically what's wrong he will just say try again and fix it, and when you try and fix it he will say its wrong again and won't help you. I hope you save yourself some time and don't take his class.
Terrible teacher
Very rude! I thought he was a nice teacher at first but when I asked him for help he was very mean and rude when he commented. He gave me a lot of anxiety, I suggest if you get him as a teacher you run.
He was overall really easy going. You will have absolutely no issues so long as you are respectful, show up to class, and participate as expected -- all things that require common sense, as well as courtesy. Really a great professor, very inspirational, and incredibly helpful.
He's an ok teacher if you keep to yourself, try your best, come to class, and dont ask questions.
This guy is all over the place. He will consistently waste class time talking about things of irrelevance and forget what he actually needs to cover. Myself as well as other students were always confused on what he expected on his writing assignments. There is almost no point to go to class, he will waste more time teaching you nothing thananything
Rude to his students sometimes, a tough grader, his directions are never clear and never what he expects us to write.
His directions are never clear and everyone is always confused
professor Greene is one of the better English teachers I've ever had. he has a good sense of humor and understands that life happens. as long as you pay attention in class, get things turned in,and respect him you'll have a good time and get a good grade.
While this class was essentially all papers, it was very informative, and more often than not, entertaining. I actually do feel like I've become a better writer because of this class. Greene always has a funny story to tell, and he's very understanding that life happens.
Honestly speaking, he is an okay teacher. Show up to class, you will be fine. Our final was 20 pages... He can be very weird and rude but you can leave with a relief that it is over
He's a good teacher. You have to go to class, write 4 papers, and make sure to participate in workshops. Sometimes he can confuse students but you just have to ask him to clarify and he will. He honestly wants success for his students.
Professor Greene is a very energetic, nice teacher. All the people that complain are the people that did not show up to class, did not do their work, and/or just have bad attitudes. This class challenges you but in good way. As long as you try you will do absolutely fine! I thoroughly enjoyed eng. 1010 and look forward to taking his 1020 class(:
If you miss one day, you will fail the class. He brings irrelevant topics to class which will confuse you. It's better to look for another professor.
He can be very rude, he called me out for looking at the clock once. I often leave class confused about what I need to be doing outside of class or what the assignment even is. He lectures a lot but he's all over the place. He always says "you get the point behind this" but about 90% of the time I DON'T GET THE POINT BEHIND IT. IS THERE A POINT?
He's a friendly guy, easy enough to talk to, but the subject his projects were based on were really uninteresting and hard to get through. (Grit - Angela Duckworth. I'll never forget how much of a scam artist she appears to be.)
He is a character. He gives ample time to complete tasks, and teaches the class in an interesting format. Each paper you write gets combined into a final 20 page essay at the end that utelizes each form of essay writing. Great class and you can benifit from it.
Overall, I believe that Professor Greene is a wonderful professor. He is generous in grading and answers questions to the fullest. I highly recommend, as long as you are respectful to your classmates and put in effort, you should enjoy the class. He gives examples of his essays as well, so you know what he expects, though he likes originality.
He was a really nice person to have. He is respectful and for once a teacher who actually likes being there. It really shows he cares for his students and really loves his job. He treats you with respect if u give it back. Very helpful if confused, he goes the extra mile to help you. Great teacher and person over all 10/10 recommend.
Super hard class. Ended with an A but that was only done with being in class and working hard on my essays. DO NOT take this class if you are lazy or want something easy. He is an okay guy but he is kind of rude at times and expects the most so just literally take this class with a different teacher and save yourself from all the unnecessary work.
Professor Green wants his students to succeed, that's why he always goes above and beyond to make sure you understand each weekly assignment. I could sent him emails and he'd always respond, professor Greene takes the time to learn how each of his students learn. I would always recommend him to anyone who's taking an English class.
He is by far one of the best profs Ive had, he wants you to succeed and get a good grade. If you show him and your classmates with respect then theres nothing he wont do for you. Great person even better teacher. Highly recommend, he graded nicely and tells you exactly what he expects of you in your work, he gives sample essays too. Great prof.
So I've never been a good writer but Professor Greene gave me positive feedback and made me believe I could get my papers done. I wouldn't say the class was hard because it honestly wasn't. Plus he even offered help outside of class. I would definitely take his class again. Make sure you go to class and ask questions if needed. You'll be fine
This professor is extremely rude towards students. He blows up at those in the class for trying to understand the content that he fails to make clear. I would advise anyone at Tri-C to stay clear of this professor and choose a class with a respectful teacher.
RUN. worst prof ive ever had made me hate writting.
If you like a challenge, you're looking in the right place. There were definitely students that he didn't get along with in my class, but as long as you show that you care, you don't have much to worry about. This class is NOT for people who are looking for an easy A, and the workload will be time consuming.
