I really enjoyed this class. He is professional and highly intelligent, but he has us call him Trevor and jokes with us everyday. There is lots of reading, but most of it's not too dry, and there's lots of interesting in-class discussion. There is a few essays. As long as you read the material and take notes during instruction, you should be fine.

Grades on papers are tough but fair. Offers many opportunities to meet with him outside of class to work on papers. Interesting personality, but funny and easy to connect to. Very relaxed setting (he asked that we call him Trevor).

He is a funny dude. He is very knowledgeable about anything and everything. Get on his good side and do your work. He is a very tough grader but gives you more opportunities to fix mistakes.

There were two main papers, and they were graded very hard, but he gave lots of opportunities to meet with him outside of class for extra help. The first day he can scare you by saying how difficult the class will be, but just do the work and follow his instructions and you'll be okay.

I have mixed opinions about Trevor. He is great with lecturing and giving feedback on your work. However, he is an extremely harsh grader and part of that is due to his "secret" rubric. So, if you can afford something other then an A and want to improve your ENG, definitely take his class. If you need an A for GPA reasons, pick another professor.

Overall, I enjoyed Trevor. He is a very intelligent individual who made classes interesting and engaging. He is a very difficult grader, but he did allow us to submit re-drafts until we obtained our desired score. Appreciated that. Also, he seemed to grade a lot easier on the last paper. There were times where I was afraid for my grade though.

My biggest regret is not taking advantage of his office hours sooner. If you want an A on a written paper, which is majority of your grade in UNV-106HN, you will 100% have to go to his office hours. He is dedicated if you put your time into his class/office hours, If you want an easy grade don't take his class. He allows you to redo papers.

Trevor may be a tough grader, but he explains everything well in class and gives you all the tools you need to get a good grade. If you pay attention and put the time into his class, you'll do fine. He's also very entertaining during lectures.

Trevor's awesome. When he teaches, he always associates one event with another to help his students remember the information. Do well on his midterm, attend lecture, and get AT LEAST all B's on the essays and you will have an A in this class. He's a difficult grader but gives you a chance to do redrafts. He is more than fair. Funny dude, too.

He is a great professor. An acquired taste for some people but interesting and to the point. His class was a lot of work but it was possible and he made it clear that if you worked for the grade you wanted you would get it.

Trevor is a great guy who cares about his students. However, he will make you work and understand the subject because he cares. The papers are weird to write at first and not much help is given on how to adjust, but over time he becomes an easier grader and will try to help. If you don't want to work, don't take him but if you want to learn, do.

Very tough grader but overall great professor. He is dry at times but is truly concerned about the students. I unfortunately had to drop but he was helpful through everytthing.

He is pretty tough when it comes to grading but he does give goo feedback, and on some of your papers allows redrafts, if you work for it. He really cares if you read the material you are supposed to and that you participate in discussions in class, overall a good professor if you are willing to do your work.

Tough grader, he wants to challenge you and wants you to challenge yourself. Ask for help if you need it!!

Professor Trevor makes you work for your grade and he is a very hard grader. However, he will help you if you are willing to put in the work. His lectures were interesting and fun.

Trevor's tough but helpful if you want to get better with your writing. I got a C on the first essay I wrote for UNV106HN in his class and ended ENG206HN with an A on my proposal paper. He is committed to helping his students; even as a PhD candidate he stays at GCU past 3 in the morning to help us redraft for a good grade.

Trevor is a great professor who is very passionate about giving his students a quality education. If you are going to school to learn how to better yourself and learn, I would highly recommend him, but if you are looking for an easy A, find someone else. He is a harsh grader, but gives everyone the opportunity to rewrite their essays.

Class with Trevor was probably one of the most frustrating things I have had to do. Trevors method of teaching involves explaining what hes looking for AFTER the assignment is graded. However, he is helpful in office hours so go to them before the assignment is due (and after to understand why he graded it that way) to save your grade!!

Trevor is a great professor who is knowledgeable about everything so he is ready to discuss absolutely anything with his students inside or outside of class. He is a difficult grader, but he is always willing to help you and if you apply yourself your writing is guaranteed to improve. If you actually want to benefit from a class, take Trevor!

He is a good teacher! Always offers help outside of class. Directions for assignments are always clearly stated.

Dope, hilarious & chill, but don't be fooled. Very knowledgeable/experienced, & doesn't take BS. Class was overall intriguing, but tedious, & a lot of hard work. Genuinely wants students to be successful, & encourages you to see life from new perspectives. Walked away enlightened and motivated, but also relieved that it was over!

Hey! Gotta say Trevor is an amazing professor. I am a freshman this year and took his class without any expectations or even looking on rate my professors. Those that looked got a little scared. You definitely need to put in the work but honestly, he is very approachable if you have questions. If you put in the work you will be just fine.

Trevor is one of the best professors I have ever had. If you are a goody-goody you might not like him because he likes to joke and give you a hard time. If you want to be treated like an adult and not a Child and actually be successful in life, take his class. He honestly wants nothing but the best for his students. Plus you can call him Trevor.

I liked professor Duston a lot. His lectures were not very interesting and he went on lots of tangents, but he does his best to help his students succeed. He provides re-writes for papers and will usually have you write a paper about why you should get the grade that you want in his class. I would recommend him.

Professor Duston provides really good feedback and has definitely improved my writing. You will have to work for your grade. He is very growth-oriented and wants his students to do well. Don't hesitate to ask him questions or see him during office hours.

Trevor is awesome! I took his UNV-109 class and then took him the next semester for ENG-206 because I learned a lot and wanted to keep learning. Trevor pushes his students to think very logically. He's very data-focused and wants students to see the world around them in terms of the data. He can talk with anyone on any subject. You'll love him.

Trevor is a tough grader but he gives super detailed feedback if you go to office hours or ask questions in class. I was able to bump my final grade up because he allowed everyone to resubmit the final paper if they didnt like their grade. His class wasnt easy, but I learned a lot and I think Im a better writer now because of it.

This class was difficult for me, but I learned so much about how to write logically. I use so many things Trevor taught me in every paper I write for classes now. Some may claim that he is too tough, but if you attend class, read the books, go to office hours, and put in work you can receive a good grade. He makes you work for it, but I learned.

Trevor is a great professor, but he is focused on his class only. Discussion questions are busy work in my opinion and the class discussions are often not helpful for the assignments that you have.

Honestly, I really hated his style of teaching at the beginning of the year, but I think I actually learned how to write better papers. He genuinely cares that you learn in his class and I think that makes him a good teacher. He is a tough grader and you have work to do like writing dqs. If you want an easy A don't take his class.

Trevor Duston is not for everyone. Despite feeling confident in my writing abilities before his class, it was very hard to get an A. If you want a challenging class that will cause you to become a better thinker, analyzer, and writer, take his class. If you are fine with your writing abilities and want an A, I would not recommend taking him.

He is a hard grader, but if you go to office hours and ask for his feedback, he is more than willing to assist you. I had him for a class one semester and switched into one of his classes the next semester. He is very nice and is sometimes very funny. He is very engaging and not boring. He does not lecture the entire time.

Professor Duston was always available to answer questions and provide advice for assignments. However, the instructions to the assignments were fairly confusing and were broad. Does not keep up with grades, only updates majority of them for midterms and finals. Also, lots of reading.

Really good at lectures, but will make you feel guilty if you don't read. He really tries to get you to see different perspectives and questions why you do or like the things you do. He makes you work for your grade. Going to his office hours is a must. He does not seem like a professor, but more of a mentor and a friend.

Although this professor requires a lot of reading and discussion in the class, I actually liked it way more because the discussions that arises from the books we were reading are actually relevant to our world and our society and our lives. He was super helpful and understanding that we as students also have lives and life happens. Would recommend.

Professor Trevor was a great professor this semester. He was very open to answering my questions both after class and during his office hours on discord. At the beginning he can seem scary and intense, but more than anything, he wants you to try and to understand what you think. However, if you are looking for a class to coast in, this is not that.

I can understand why others complain: Trevor is a tough grader, the content is challenging, and you might not get the grade you want. But this is an honors class so what did you expect? Overall, I enjoyed class discussions, especially on Brave New World. Not to mention my IMPROVEMENT as a writer. Do the work and the rest will follow :)

Trevor is the coolest professor you will ever have. He only wants to be called by his first name, is funny, and is not super strict on staying in class, phone usage, or talking. He is a hard grader, but his personality really makes the class enjoyable. YOU MUST USE HIS OFFICE HOURS and listen to his feedback, but if you do that, you will get an A.

Trevor is friendly and approachable, and is eager to answer questions or share what is going on in his life. The majority of class is spent listening to him speak, either on outside reading or a random tangent, but the majority of grades are essays. He is a tough grader but if you take advantage of his office hours, the class is easily passable.

Trevor is an amazing professor. My biggest advice for future students is to talk to him, ask him questions, and go to office hours. My papers always did better when I went to office hours and asked him to give me some edits. He is extremely caring and loves to help his students. His class is difficult but it is only because he wants you to succeed.

Trevor lectures quite a bit in class, he runs his classes more like a meeting. He is very good at giving back feedback on all assignments and does a very good job at explaining what he expects on assignments. He grades hard but if you talk to him during office hours before submissions of essays he will go through your entire essay.

Highly recommended. An extremely knowledgeable and well-versed professor. He is a hard grader, but this class greatly improves writing skills and is very helpful for other classes. Attending office hours is key to success. He is readily available and provides great feedback for any assignment brought to him.

I loved having him and chose to be in his class again this semester. He definitely makes you work for your grade and is a very harsh grader, but he will work with you. GO TO OFFICE HOURS! He is so helpful and will steer you in the correct direction.

I understand why professor Duston is not everyone's favorite guy. However, I ended up looking forward to his class every Wednesday and Friday. He is a very hard grader and will make you work for an A, but it's so rewarding. His office hours saved my grades and his classes were enjoyable.

Do not be afraid to take this course. It was a difficult class, but you are given all the resources you need to succeed. If you apply yourself, you will make an A. Trevor graded very reasonably in my opinion, the things I missed, he gave great feedback so I would not miss it again. Look at his resources and take in the feedback and you will do fine

Trevor's class involves a lot of reading and essay writing, and grades are pretty strict, but taking this course was definitely worth the experience. Trevor makes class very personable and advantageous by challenging students and lecturing valuable lessons. Make sure to go to office hours for feedback and additional help because they are essential!

Trevor is an amazing professor who genuinely cares about his students. He not only helped me with assignments but also helped me get through a tough situation last fall. He also gives good feedback that has helped me a lot in other courses.

It may sound dramatic but this professor made me feel like I was in a learning environment comparable to an Ivy League school. Before this class, I completed all required English courses and felt that I was fully confident in my writing skills and felt that I had no room for improvement. Trevor definitely humbled me through detailed feedback.

Trevor is one of the best teachers at GCU. I transferred at semester because GCU felt like HS, but Trevor was the one person who made it feel like actual college. He genuinely cares about his students and if you work hard, you will succeed. The effort is worth it because it teaches you how to write & you will use it in other classes.

Trevor is a genuinely sweet and caring guy. All of the courses he teaches involve many essays and outside reading, but he provides a lot of time both in class and in his office hours to review topics and papers. He makes a true effort to get to know his students, and if you can laugh at yourself, he'll laugh lovingly right with you (and at you)!

Trevor honestly intimidated me at first because he is incredibly intelligent and a bit of a tough grader. However, as I got to know him, I figured out that he really just wants us to succeed, which is why he is tough in grading us. The class was honestly pretty easy in my opinion but if you need help go to his office hours and he will help you.

There's a good amount of reading books and writing papers in this class, but Trevor is a great professor. He's funny and he knows how to engage the class. I would recommend taking his class!

Super solid professor. Yes he is a tough grader, but he wants to make sure you grow, and you do. He doesn't do the same old boring lectures but involves lots of class discussions and external videos.

This is my 2nd time having Trevor as a professor. He does have a very unique grading style but I would not say he grades hard. Most instructions are clear and if they aren't, go to office hours, he is beyond helpful and readily available. Trevor is very sarcastic and makes a lot of jokes. There are only 4 assignments and lots of redundant reading.

The class is as difficult as you make it. I've taken two of Trevor's classes and he makes himself available for any and all matters, which is really helpful with bigger projects. He listens to you and helps you but also strives to push you. 10/10 would recommend.

He is great teacher, very smart, knowledgable but not the teacher for everyone. I am a very hands on visual learner and he did not cater to that. But I was able to get by. He says at the beginning that the assignments won't make sense until after and he meant it. Nothing made sense until after I completed the assignments. But I Definitely recommend

Trevor is an amazing professor. He is knowledgable about almost everything, which is amazing, but it can be intimidating. I highly recommend him as your professor because he grades directly from the rubric, which some may see as harsh, but it is super fair. He genuinely cares about his students and I wish I could take another class by him again.

I dropped because I got sick of writing so many papers. This professor is very informal and I thought he was funny, but I know some felt insulted by him. You can get an A in this class if you take notes on his interpretations of the readings and use those in your essays. I didn't think he was a tough grader, but I know others who disagree with me.

He's a really nice guy. Definitely can be tough and it is important to do to do the readings and keep up with your work but he really wants the best for his students. He will be tough on you but he wants to give you the skills for upcoming years.

Trevor really cares about his students. He does love to talk so be prepared for rabbit trails in class. If you are worried about your grade just do the work and you'll be good. He is clear about expectations and as he will say just follow the rubric. Going to office hours is super helpful. He has high expectations but will help you meet them.

Although I enjoyed being in his class, the other reviews on Trevor are justified. He talks a lot and goes off-topic often but, I learned a lot in his class. He comes off as being someone on a high horse but is personable if you make the effort to understand him. He gives great feedback on papers during his office hours and my writing has improved.

While I was a little skeptical about him at first, I actually grew to love him and his class! He's very funny and there is never a dull moment in his class! He's very committed to his students and always looks for ways to be helpful! I found the class easy and entertaining and would highly recommend him!

I genuinely loved this class. The point of it was to replace UNV-103 and to learn to have a better appreciation for a wide variety of things. Unfortunately, many people did not understand this. Trevor helped me tremendously. I was taking five other classes on top of this. It should not be difficult to get an A if you're actually applying yourself!

Although Trevor is at times, unconventional he cares deeply about the success of his students. Despite being a tough grader, he clarifies his expectations and provides numerous resources to help the class. Do not be afraid to talk to him or ask him questions. If you pay attention and attend class you won't have any issues.

Trevor was amazing professor who had some great insights on many of the topics we discussed throughout the class. We did not have many assignments, but the one's we did have included great learning experiences in the humanities, relating to technology. He knows exactly what he is talking about with all his lectures, unlike other professors at GCU.
