I couldn't believe it when I saw a green smile beside his name. I found out why after reading the comments. There is a major correlation between the amount of spelling mistakes in the comment and the mark Tucker got from that person. If you have a working spellchecker on your word processor then you’ll likely enjoy his teaching.

Great and fair prof! Never drags classes on. 2 papers, 3 pop quizzes (usually on the day the paper is due) and final exam (gives you the layout and picks the main essay question from two assigned readings). Bare minimum of the course is spent on grammar, he is more interested in great essays. Would definitely recommend this prof!

The classes are small so if you don't go to the lectures it's noticeable. He talks a lot about his personal experiences which I found great. He's really nice and will help you if you ask. There are pop quizzes, they're reallly not that hard. Would definitely take again. The class in itself is boring but he makes it more interesting.

At first I was a little disappointed with the lectures, they arent structured and his thoughts seem incomplete. But as the semester went on he got way better. He gives you the Qs for the exams ahead of time, and he was very laid back about paper deadlines and APA format, etc. You know because of that he really wants you to do well, which was great

M. Tucker cares a lot for his students. It's very easy to have great notes in his class, even if English isn't your first language (like me!). However, he's a little bit disorganized when he teaches. For example, he can read the half of the first slide of the PowerPoint (information very clear on it) and after going to the third slide.
