THE VERY BEST TEACHER i have ever had. and thats saying a lot since i HATE english. Mr. Lowe is the most helpful teacher. I looked forward to his class every day and learned so much. He had a way of making English fun. Instead of teaching English, he should be teaching other teachers how to teach! IF YOUR TAKING ENGLISH AT GRCC TAKE MR LOWE!

if you cant do 10 perfect sentences you need to go back to gradeschool. hes a great teacher, though he does kind of look like the cornell! thumbs up!

He's a very percise teacher. Very good and educational. Easy to learn from.

Good teacher, but not easy

He is funny and the class is fun, but after all, it is very hard class.

Not an easy teacher but I learned SO much about english. His teaching was very beneficial and I found him to be really funny.

He sure is a funny guy.. I laughed a lot in his class.. but the assignments are kinda hard, thats probably the only bad thing about it.. he's also very helpful!

I learned a LOT of english from this class. Some people complain of the load, but he's fair with it. He's not an easy grader, but he's fair and not impossible. My only other comment is I got 4.0s on all my papers after this class.

Pretty good teacher. Knows his stuff. Sure, he looks like the Colonel, sure his jokes are stale, but that's what's fun about him. Whatever class materials you lost/forgot somewhere, he'll get you another copy. He grades hard, but that's a good thing, ain't it? He expects a lot. Get to know him; he's a good guy, really.

I think he's funny. And he's helpful when you're trying to understand whtat stuff is about. He reminds me of an oompa loompa.

He was an awesome teacher. I'll recommend this teacher to everyone who wants to take ENGL 110 class. In the beginning and during the quarter he seems really hard, but at the end, you'll see how improved you are. Also, he goes easy at the end of the quarter.

Having taken his class, I don't understand why many people dislike Mr. Lowe. His class is very helpful and interesting. He really teaches you how to write. You get good grades as long as you meet the standards he asks. However, I do believe the atmosphere of the class is related to the quality of his class.(the more active classmates the better)

Mr. Lowe is a difficult teacher but as long as anyone follows the format. Getting an A is not difficult. he gives second chances and is one of the only teachers to teach fundementals and fanboys. Any inerested in a challenge his class is recommended.

Second time having him for English. Follow his rules to writing an essay and you should do good in his class! He's laid back and let's the student come up with answers, but he is difficult.

I don't understand how anybody dislikes him. He's one of the few teachers who provides incredibly helpful feedback on essays. He's brilliant and hilarious. His primary tactic for teaching is to make the classroom atmosphere lighthearted, encouraging open discussions involving everyone.

If you truly want your writing to be improved take this class, he is hard and demanding and you'll probably feel stupid at the end of every class session and cry at the though of another '10 perfect sentence' but you WILL become a better writer, guaranteed. Yes this class will bring down your GPA as he hardly ever gives more than a B+butitsgoodclas

Excellent english teacher. He is absolutely hilarious! I took the class at 7:20 am, which is a sucky time, but he made the class interesting and fun. I received a 3.8 because he provides you with a CRYSTAL CLEAR class course guide that shows you everything you have to do to succeed. Love this guy!

I like his class because I understand what he wants for 'A' student. If you follow his direction, at least you will get 3.0 or more.

An outstanding English teacher!!!!

He is a great professor. He will only appeal to those that can follow direction and also have a sense of humor. I loved him so much im taking another class of his next fall!!

Mr Lowe is a great professor, and he goes out of his way to learn everyones names and make class interesting. He has a sarcastic sense of humor and WILL interact with you. So if you are lazy, late, or skip all the time, he will notice and probably make fun of you without you even realizing it

Awesome teacher. He is funny and sarcastic. His "friends" who come in and teach are silly and fun. Just watch out for his party ties. He wants to make his students better writers. He expects his students to think and join in on class discussions. He gives excellent feedback on papers, sometimes whole pages of comments. I want him again.

Mr.Lowe is officially my favorite English teacher of all time. I normally don't like English and I HATE writing essays, but he makes the class so fun that I actually looked forward to his class! I definitely recommend his class.

I loved his class. He was very clear about what he expected to be turned in and he kept the class interesting. I loved the comics on every handout! He was always willing to give extra help if needed. I loved his method of grading- taking the best scores out of several assignments. I got a 4.0 easily. Highly recommend taking his class!

Mr.Lowe was awesome! He tells you exactly what he expects from you and if you ask him after class for clarity he is happy to help. His grading is very fair and even if you do a good job he gives you a page of notes on what you did well and what you can improve on. He is not the easiest grader but I personally can say he has made me a better writer.

He was a pretty funny teacher. Only problem I had with him was when some students didn't hear what he said or asked a question he felt was stupid- HE LET YOU KNOW. He would belittle the students in front of the class. good class, just don't f-up!

He can be sarcastic, but honestly he just treats you like an adult, so don't start crying just cause he made a little joke. If you participate you are almost guaranteed an A, all he wants is for you to try. His class was fun and he drops a lot of bad grades so it leaves a lot of room for improvement. And it's interactive, lots of group work.

I took a class from Mr. Lowe a few years ago before I transferred to a university out of state. After graduating college with a B.A. in English Teaching, I can reflect on my class with Lowe and say he is a great professor. He prepares students for the tough college environment and has high expectations. If you're serious about school, I recommend.

I loved his class!!! I have pretty much hated english courses because the teachers always sucked. He was easy if you paid attention. A lot of people didn't and ended up re-writing a lot of the essays. I got a 3.8 so happy with his teaching!

Had no idea what I was getting myself into taking this class. Turned out to love it and enjoy english for once. This teacher is the best english teacher I've ever had. Very helpful and always willing to work with you. Cares a lot about his students and gets work back in a timely manner.

I ended up taking 2 classes with Lowe, and I received a 4.0 in both. His classes are not difficult if you pay attention, show up for class, and ask for clarification if you need it. He noticed when I put effort into my work, and his sarcasm humor made the classes interesting. Also, he didn't just lecture; he mixed it up a bit (which I liked).

He's a very good teacher i took English 185 with him and got a 3.1. I skipped 6 classes and i lost a .5 on my grade, if you show up and try he will give you a good grade and at end of the quarter he'll give you a chance to raise your grade by .5, that's not even the best part you have 9 months after the quarter ends to do the extra credit.

He was a great teacher. He is very sarcastic always gave us handouts that he announced as quizzes but weren't!

Mr Lowe's class is tough-ish but fun! He gets the material across but still mixes it upkeeps it interesting. He's got a great sense of humor but also seriously knows his stuff. I learned a lot this quarter about academic writing (and 7 am classes-don't do that to yourself trust me). He holds his students to a high standard and helps them meet it.

I took this class online and thought that it was pretty easy. His expectations are very clear and there really isn't a lot of course work. Just pay attention to details and you will do fine on the assignments. As for the final research paper, make sure to work on it throughout the quarter while doing other assignments so as to not fall behind.

He's a great professor. Though I didn't have a face-to-face class with him, he's been very helpful. However, he's relatively a hard grader. Soooo prepare yourself!

It is the hardest class I have ever taken. He is a super sarcastic guy which makes the class laugh quite often. He gives very detailed guidelines for papers, so make sure you remember all of them. He is helpful whenever you need him and also gives constructive feedbacks because he wants you to write better.

I learned a tremendous amount in Mr. Lowe's class. He is truly dedicated to the students, and very encouraging. I grew as a student because he fostered an atmosphere that allowed me to learn through trail and error, without feeling judged.

Honestly, Mr. Lowe is amazing. I took Mr. Lowe for English 101, 126, 246, and 185. If you put in effort and show that you care and he will accommodate you. If the whole class tries he does offer an extra credit essay where he will raise your final GPA grade by .7.

Participation was critical, it definitely affected my grade. His class was fun though, he has a great personality and he helps with essays.

Professor Lowe was an awesome teacher. He has a good sense of humor that may come across as rude, but it's pretty funny if you understand he's kidding. The assignments may seem unclear, but I think this is intentional so each paper he reads is different. It may seem like a lot of papers, but as you move along you'll realize it's less than you think

Prof. Lowe and his instructions could be kind of cryptic at times, but he was an all around solid choice. He's sarcastic, funny, light-hearted, and very patient with his students that seem to struggle.

Mr. Lowe is a good professor who gives clear grading criteria and marks very strictly. It is necessary to pay attention in his class to do well.

Mr. Lowe is one of the best professors I've had at Green River. I took both his English 101 and English 128 classes, and loved both. Although both were more difficult than most courses at Green River, they were a great way to learn. Mr. Lowe wants his students to succeed and will clarify if you are confused about any part of the assignments.

Walter Lowe is a fantastic instructor. He is difficult and expects one to work to truly understand how to write well. While he is difficult one will learn a lot. I took him for both 101 and 128. If you're looking for an easy English class where you can put in minimum effort and learn very little don't take him. I would recommend taking him.

Professor Lowe is a great professor. I took him for 101 and 128. He isn't has hard as he seems but he isn't easy. Take notes and follow what do what he says. You will learn a lot if you take his classes. He is the best teacher in the English department by far. Easier English teachers exist if you just want to pass but the quality can't compete.

I actually took two online classes with Professor Lowe because in his classes your grade is solely dependent on the amount of effort that you put in. In both classes his instructions were incredibly clear (he highlights and repeats exactly what is expected from students in the assignments). If you want to grow as a writer then take his class!

I was nervous to take Engl 128, especially because its been years since Ive taken a writing intensive class. It was much better than I expected! This course is NOT an easy A, you will have to work hard but its possible! I will say Mr. Lowe is not the friendliest person, but his instructions are incredibly clear so I never had to email him.

With the online format, I believe teachers get creative in their ways to ensure students are actually reading through content (course guides/assignment directions) and not just skimming, doing bare minimum. This is not ENGL 101, it does require a more independent learner to be successful in this class. A nice change from humanities based writing.

Professor Lowe is an excellent docent. I could take his class multiple times and learn more every single time. He is a caring individual who respects his students and can see the effort you put into his class. He is, hands down, THE BEST professor I have ever had. I took his class online and I envy the students that get to take his class in person.

Don't be discouraged by the low ratings, Mr. Lowe is a great professor as long as you can read and follow directions. If you don't believe me, I worked on my final for only a single day and I got full points. The important thing to keep in mind is to stay organized and listen to his feedback. Do that and you will easily get an A.

I loved Mr. Lowe, if you stay on track and do your ten perfect sentences at the beginning of the quarter instead of waiting till the very end of the course you will do fine. He gives you essays but they are manageable. You do need the book of essays as we used it a lot.

I found this class really easy but I also have a really firm foundation in English, so I think that's why. The biggest things he focused on this quarter were Verb Tenses, Adjective and Adverb Phrases and Clauses, and identifying parts of speech.

1-2 Post and Respond discussion boards each week, you have to annotate the assigned readings because there are group discussions in class. Participation is required in class. Only 3 major papers. He gives lectures and posts the material on Canvas afterwards. Gave accurate feedback. He was very nice and easy to pass, you just need to do the work.

Tough grader, but he does take time to give specific feedback. The instructions are extensive but very helpful if you read everything. He obviously puts a lot of effort into class and is clearly knowledgeable. Frustrating at times, but I learned a lot.

The professor conveyed the material clearly and his teaching style challenged critical thinking skills, allowing for personal growth.
