He is very passionate about writing, but that ends up being part of the problem when he doesn't actually teach anything and goes on these long rants about his favorite author or his old professors from college. He doesn't actually TEACH anything. I do enjoy workshopping, though.

He talks too much and never really teaches anything. If there's one thing that's hard to tolerate are teachers who assume the student should be learning on their own before coming to class, and this is how Webb behaves. He expects everybody to know everything and just rambles on and on aimlessly.

Hot guy, but not such a good teacher. I actually did not learn much from him, but I enjoyed his stories. He's a character rather than a teacher. So, if you write some poems, short stories, and one play you can get an A in his class. Don't expect too much in-deepth because he won't deliver it.He's just a guy with charisma and cute personal stories.

I had never liked an English class before until I took this one. He is a very good professor and a great guy too. I'm a relatively strong writer so the class was never too difficult and his feedback on my writing was always clear and straight forward. The ability to make revisions and submit them again for a higher grade is extremely helpful.

funny that a English teacher who is supposed to teach you the proper way, uses the F word in the class. very unpleasant and difficult person and he lookes like he wants to start some kind of conflict with you. this is what he said in the class too: if you do not like it take some one else's class.

He's an excellent teacher. I finished the course a better writer than when I began the course. He helped me understand things about writing I never understood before. That's what I wanted from an English teacher. If you want something else (an easy A, an ego-stroker), he's not your guy.

Awesome teacher. You MUST do his readings (short stories & poems)There is quiz on the material EVERY class. They are EASY if you do the reading. Great personality but doesn't take any bull. Wants you to succeed and is so very helpful. Lets you resubmit your essays & research paper after it is graded. I would definitely take this instructor again.

You can submit fictionnon-fiction (1500-5000 words) or poems (3 pages) for workshops. Has useful information & insights on writing & getting published. Works with you.

This professor is top notch, in my opinion. He lectures non-stop, but he's humorous, so I didn't mind. He really wants people to succeed in writing, and he'll let you know with each paper what you need to work on. I'm a pretty strong writer to begin with, but I feel like he made me better and more prepared for research papers in the future. :)

He grades tough on the timed in class essays but is more lenient on the take home papers. READING IS MANDATORY TO PASSING!!!

Great Professor, really knows what he's talking about. He tends to go off on tangents and tell lengthy stories that can take up the whole class period. But theres always a good lesson in there if you really pay attention. If you are serious about being a successful writer, take him! and ask tons of questions.
