Great professor! Very reasonable and during class he practically spells out for you what he wants on essays. Hilarious stories and fun to talk to. Can't wait to have him for 1302! You don't really need the book, but it's very helpful if you're not great at writing. I was very nervous about taking this class but it was the easiest class I had!

Took summer class for engl 1301. He had few assignments all due within a short amount of time. It was quick and easy and he gave good feedback. No reason not to get at minimum a B. Easy A though. He talks a lot about personal stories that relate and he stutters a little, but really nice guy who tries to help you out if you ask.

He's really boring & tries to be funny.. but he's really easy. 4 essays, no tests. 8 journals you get at the beginning of the year & they're all due the week before the final exam. I would suggest not waiting until the week of to complete them like I did. The book is very essential and you need it almost everyday in class. Take him for an easy A!

He's a very monotone, quiet, and slow speaker. It is difficult to stay awake in class at times. Assignments are easy. 4 essays, all about 3-4 pages. Lab work is 8 journal entries which are all about 1 page in length that aren't due until the end of the semester. Easy grader. He tries to be funny but ultimately is slightly self deprecating.

He is a very boring man. He makes a short lecture feel long with his "humor." He feeds off of how students react to his "jokes." He is however, a professor that lays out all information for you. BUT! He is extremely technical with his MLA format and Works cited page. If you miss one tiny thing. You WILL fail a paper over a Works cited page.
