This was a great class and he was the best professor. It was SO easy.
He is very nice and helpful and slightly sarcastic. I really enjoyed his class.
He's a bit sarcastic, but knowledgable. He challenges his students to communicate effectively and clearly. Don't speak up unless you can back it up!
He was an awesome teacher. Very helpful with everything that was assigned. I would suggest anyone who has to take this course, to pick him as your professor!
Comes off very rough on first day. Very sarcastic gives homework but does not collect, he goes over it in class. Grades harder on papers so you will do good on final. Otherwise easy class and helpful professor if he knows you do the work nd amake the eff
I was a bit uneasy the first day, but he turned out to be an excellent professor. Get on his good side and you've got it made.
i like his attitude on life
He was a great teacher. He definately has wit and he uses sarcasm a lot. He is very helpful. He may seem hard on the first day, but he's really very nice.
He doesn't have any method to teach.
GREAT PROF. VERY EASY CLASS, AND VERY HELPFUL WHEN IT COMES TO REDOING PAPERS. LOVED HIS CLASS AND HAS A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR. HE ALWAYS LET'S HIS CLASS GO EARLIER... HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING HIS CLASS
Scared me senseless on his first class but he does it on purpose to make you nervous. Great guy, I took both of my english classes with him cause I liked him so much. He really wants you to pass the course, so take him!
Prof Luse is an awesome teacher. He was a bit ruff on the first day but after that he was great. He never collects the homework and you have really fun conversations in class. Great guy. I recommed taking him.
It was great interactive class, he really knows to challenge your intellect..this guy seems to know everything, He comes across as rude on the first day but after that he is really good at what he does, he likes class interaction , and he is supportive when asked to be
Good Class, Fun teacher. I learned a lot and enjoyed it. I will look for him again.
Great professor to take. As long as you do the papers and pay attention in class you will not fail the class. His stories make the classes interesting. I highly recommend him.
I don't see how Professor Luse got so many + ratings. I didn't care for his sarcastic, critical and degrading attitude. It's true that he never collected homework and often let the class leave early but in my opinion, that doesn't make him a good teacher. He taught more about how to kill cockroaches, rats and ants than he did English lessons :(
Do not recommend. He sits on his desk every lesson and does absolutely nothing, ohhh the best part is when he saids that nobody is perfect so nobody makes an A. What a mentality, he can not teach, lazy, boring and sarcastic. If you want to learn something please take this class with someone else. He has the worst attitude, he sucks!
He is great, wonderful point of views, very helpful, this is an easy class. Very supportive, he has a strange sense of humor but no one can doubt that he is a very intelligent person. I reccommend him. If u dont want to work take another professor.
Great professor. I've taken him for both comp I and II. He's taught english since the 80's, and has a lot of knowledge on the subject. Very easy course, although his in class essays can be a bit more challenging. You will also get out of class early almost every night! Passed with A's each time. A must take professor!
I have to admit, hes a little weird. But in my case, I just wanted to get through the class so it didnt bother me. Hes a good teacher, the class is super easy..an easy A.
Prof Luse is an awesome teacher. He was a bit ruff on the first day but after that he was great. He never collects the homework and you have really fun conversations in class. Great guy. I recommed taking him. I took him for both Comp I and II
This professor was strict from day one. He grades really hard I'm telling you and also has alot of favortism! He handed back research papers to the class and the majority of the class recieved a D. Even after mamy of the students went to the writing center! I would not recommed him to anyone!
I must agree with the person below me!! He does have alot of favorisim! Rude and doesn't help students when they ask questions!! Good luck with this professor if you pick him!!!
A good teacher, a little strange, he grades pretty hard, and you honestly never trun a thing in, except papers, but other than that.easy class..
Just show him that your trying and you'll pass. EASY CLASS!! I GOT AN "A" for comp 2. Show up to class, turn off ur phones, and dont be late, and show him your trying and you'll pass. NOT A DEMANDING CLASS AT ALL. Research paper grading is easy. DONT COME OFF AS A SLACKER OR HE'LL HATE YOU and you'll see the reflection of that on ur grade!
He is a JERK! He won't answer questions when you ask and never explains why he gives C's on papers for SPELLING MISTAKES. Horrible teacher. One of the worst classes I've ever taken :[ He reads in class and puts everyone in the room to sleep. He smokes and always has a pack in his pocket and he reeks of smoke. I would NOT reccomend this class.
Great guy! He lets you redo 1 paper and give you back the research paper to fix some things that he marked. Participate in class to understand the reading, every reading you did a paper. A lot of comparing two books and a lot of critical thinking. He goes over every part you need to put in the essay.
He is very rude! He insulted me on the first class, so I'm dropping it.
GREAT TEACHER! Very VERY VERY easy class! Let's you redo papers. If you miss classes, you won't be lost at all. Not much work to this class at all! Very clear in what he expects in a paper. The harder paper we had to do was the final, but he grades the paper and then lets you correct it! Awesome teacher! I totally would recommend anyone to him!
Great teacher. Had a good time in his class, very fair, and cares about his students. You will laugh and learn in his class:)
Awesome Awesome! He helped out a lot, very nice, and gives great feedback! Def wanna take his class!
Comp I was a BREEZE. Mr Luse is hilarious and totally easy! just turn in your papers/have them stapled. very easy grader. the papers are all easy essays on life experiences. Love Mr Luse...am def. taking him for Comp II. Easy A! So leniant! and you always get out early from his "3" hr classes! ahh I love him!
Not sure why this prof. is getting any negative remarks. I took his class for comp 1(got an A) and am now in his comp 2 class. I wouldn't say he's too easy, but it is simple enough if you have a brain in your head. Def. recommend.
Professor Luse is a awsome teacher; Hes assignments are easy, just make sure your there for the in-class essays. He lets out the 3hr class early...awesome.....and hes a funny guy. Just dont get on his bad side or he will call you out.
Luse seems like a jerk at first but after the first couple of weeks, he's chosen his favorites and luckily i was one of them. I'm a good English student and I got an A in the course, however, class is boring! I managed to do well and miss six or seven classes. I recommend him for an easy grade.
2nd time around taking englis. he is really hard to read, but he really knows english. this class is not a lot of reading passages and Q/A. theirs mostly essays to write, and of you write it early he'll help you edit it into an A essay.
Prof Luse was really nice, helpful, and funny. I really enjoyed his class. He may come off strict on the first day but he is really just softie! He usually lets class out early. You do need to purchase the penguin book.
I took his class back in 2004, it was my first college level course, I was only 16 and I remember Professor Luse to this day. He scared me senseless on the first class, but ended up being the most helpful person I've come in contact with at Valencia. Take as many classes of him as you can.
Mr Luse is awesome. He comes off as really strict on the first day, but he is one of the most helpful professors I have had. He really cares that you learn and understand and will go over something as often as it takes. But don't think that because his class is easy you can take advantage of him, he will definitely call you out on it!
He is awesome! I really enjoyed taking this class and signed up for ENC 1102 as well! He is extremely helpful and we don't write too much at all in this class, it's mostly all discussions. Our main paper is a Research paper which he gives us like 2 months in advance.He also gives us a chance to rewrite the paper after he grades it the first time.
Defiantly learned a lot from this professor. He actually bothers to teach us grammar and I can say im pretty competent in that area now because of him. Assigns a few take home essays, always grammar and spell check them. Lots of interesting class discussions and lets you out early a lot. He is very clear with everything he says.
He is extremely nice and not much homework. he assigns it and then goes over each problem in class so if u didnt do your good and he doesnt collect it. you write about 5 papers. they are super easy and you he lets you rewrite 2 of them to raise your grade. I would definitely recommend. He also has a dry sense of humor.
OMG HE'S SO AWESOME! He seems harsh at first but he's acutally a super sweet guy and HILARIOUS. He helps you out BIG TIME when it comes to grades. You can re-write all your papers, of which we only have about 4. The research paper is the biggest paper and you can re-write it a 100 times. Definately talking next semester.
Awesome teacher really into grammer but very cool guy. knows his stuff would def take him for Comp 2
ATTENTION ALL SLACKERS: this is the professor for U! I'm an English Major and I was highly disappointed with this professor. He Never used the textbook, we sat in class doing nothing, he loved his FAVORITES(who came in late every class)Read stories to us like were in kindergarden. ENGLISH MAJORS DON'T TAKE HIM. learned nothing
This was the easiest english class I've ever taken. Only one big paper in the whole class which is the research paper and you have alot of time to do it. Also you can rewrite it several times. We never took a test, and most classes we would just sit and talk. And we always left at least 15Min early! Great Class!!!!
Mr. Luse is a great teacher! If your not the best in english ... TAKE HIM!! ... he will work with you and really wants to see you do your best... no test and just a few papers ... really easy !!!
hes super sarcastic but hes easy. hes not the nicest or most helpful but hes ok. hes easy thats all that counts
Prof. William Luse was not really interesting what comes to teaching. Basically, he doesn't teach anything at all. He helps a little bit and explains everything a little. For research paper, you have to do argumentive paper(not literature one). You have to do good on the first essay.That, basically, will be grade for next ones.50/50 professor.
He is the worst professor ever. Do not take him. He doesn't care about his class.
so easy, let us redo every paper multiple times, really sarcastic, doesn't teach really but interesting nonetheless
He is not helpfull at all, he did not teach me anything, i spent at least half of the classes listening to my ipod on the back of the class, he does "conference" one by one when you have papers due, so no one does anything during two hours. im from danmark, i wanted to learn english, well i cant thank him for it
He is my fave. professor of all time. He is very sarcastic and if you are an idiot this is not the class for you. I adore this teacher and his class I wish I could take all my classes from him.
Mr.Luse was a helpful teacher. He gives you plenty of time to do your papers ahead of time and before the due date you can show them to him for review. He will correct your paper so by the time you turn it in, its a B or higher. Take him he's cool.
Luse is awsome. He really cares and gives feedback so to improve your paper. He offers extra credit. I got an A.He tells you exactly what he wants in a paper so there is no reason to get it wrong.
ill admit at first he is intimidating but just know its actually sarcasm and its ok to laugh! He is a very sweet and open minded person if you talk to him and dont disrupt his class. He lets you rewrite papers so if you follow his directions youll be sure to pass. Ill be taking him again for eng2.
He is very tense the first couple of classes, then he relaxes A LOT! Very little homework, tests, or papers for this class. He works with you to make sure you pass the class by giving you several chances to redo your work. He does't use the books much, but does make sure you get the basics to pass. He likes to tell stories a lot!!
He's a fun teacher. The first day I thought he was going to be tough but he's actually pretty lenient. If you turn in the drafts in time he'll grade them and then give you the chance to do them again. Overall, you should take him!
He seemed intimidating first, but after the first two classes I realized that he is a great teacher. Very funny, loves to tell stories, and makes the class interesting.He is very helpful and gives multiple chances to redo work. Highly recommended!
Prof. Luse is amazing. His class wasn't hard at all. Just show up and do the essay questions he assigns. Definitely recommend taking his class. He explains EVERYTHING :)
This class is super easy. Prof. Luse is very sarcastic so if you like that kind of humor, you'll like him. His class was kind of boring. Gives a lot of time for research paper. Helpful when turning it in, he'll do one on one conferences. I would take him again(:
Prof. Luse is very helpful and explains anything you're unsure about. I have learned a lot in his class and plan on taking him again. Highly recommend him!
He's a cool teacher. He doesn't grade that harsh but there are about 5 essays you have to write. That's it.
He was awesome! I took him for comp 2 and he really made literature interesting to me. He introduced me to a new way of looking at stories and writing. He gives you plenty of opportunities to do well. Once you turn something in, you can resubmit it for a better grade after he goes over it with you. If you can, take him!
I took Prof. Luse for Comp 1 and now Comp 2. He gives you opportunities to rewrite papers and provides you with extra credit papers too. He gives plenty of time to write the research paper. Take him!
Very dry, but good sense of humor. Very clear in direction. Lenient on attendance, but requires you be there.
I took him for English 2. Has a harsh sense of humor, but don't be afraid to pot back at him if he gets to snappy. Simple class, everyone pretty much gets a b or a c. If you rewrite any of the papers hell bump the grade up. Just make sure you write the papers. The only way to fail this class is to not do the essays
Professor Luse is awesome! His sense of humor may take some getting used to but he's really funny. He's definitely a real man, and he doesn't really strike me as an educator. I recommend that you start on your research paper early and allow yourself plenty of time: it counts double towards your final grade.
I took Mr. Luse for Comp II, and he's the best. The key to this class is turning your assignments in on time. He's happy to answer any questions, and will help you with whatever he can on your research paper. Just be prepared for his sarcasm. He's a trip.
prof. Luse is a pretty awesome professor, yea he has a snippy sense of humor but he easy and so is the class. I recommend him to everyone.
He's great. Took him for both Comp 1 and Comp 2. If you don't do well, it's either because you don't have an aptitude for writing or you aren't trying. In Comp 2 there is a lot of writing, but it's good for you! Take him!
Professor Luse is awesome. I took him for Comp 1 and 2. He's clear on what he expects and he gives you plenty of one on one time to help you improve on your writing. You may have to get used to his personality but he's a funny guy. Just be sure you pay attention and participate or he may get a little tough on you.
I took him for Comp 1 & 2. He's quite possibly my favorite college professor. He really wants to help his students learn to write properly, and as long as you show improvements in your work, he'll give you a more than fair grade. You won't be sorry you took him unless you hate to write. Come on, it's Comp. What did you expect?
very good professor, highly recommended. Do the work and you will pass.
He has too many unnecessary rules. Can't use your electronics in class, strict on absences. He also encourages you to email him "in case of an emergency ONLY." No drinking or eating in his class, unless you want a dirty look. You can expect a good grade if you complete assigned essays weeks before it's due and rewrite it to his liking.
This teacher needs to learn to keep his opinion to himself. I understand he wants kids to write good papers, but he wants you to write something that doesn't make him too angry. He kept denying my papers on controverstial topics because he didn't agree with it. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.
He looks kind of like Gandalf. He is witty, sarcastic and you won't learn much. He does show favoritism but overall the class is really easy. You have 1 research paper, multiple essays and you'll be able to rewrite papers for a better grade. TAKE HIM!!
If you care about writing he is a really good Professor to take. He may be a little hard on you, but you always get a chance to re-write his papers if you hand them in early enough. It's almost impossible to fail unless you don't go to class or don't do the work.
I enjoyed the easiness of this class, but the professor was not helpful when it came to his students needing assistance. If you struggle with english and writing, I wouldn't recommend him. On the flip side, if you are a good writer, I would recommend him.
You wont learn much. If you get a low grade you are allowed to rewrite for a higher grade. He does show favortism so kiss up a little and he is a bit sarcastic. Had one major paper to write and about 4 small essays. Minimum book use. Test are not graded just for practice really. Seems hard but easy to get an A or B. Don't miss more than 3 classes.
Professor Luse is amazing. Definitely my favorite professor I have EVER had at Valencia. Writing isn't my favorite thing to do and I'm not the best at it, but he really understands that. He gives you short stories to read & we used the books (there's 2) a lot. Nothing too much to handle. 3-4 at-home essays, two in-class essays & 1 research paper.
Pretty straightforward. Gives clear instructions. Mainly focuses on grammar and spelling. Allows students to have a wide variety of essay topics. You use the books towards the end of the semester. They are very useful when it comes to the citation part of your research paper.
He was rude to students and wasn't great at teaching. He did not operate on a 90-100 system (it was 94-100 to get an A?) and he does not like to discuss this before you take your first test. He has sloppy handwriting and is not patient with questions. You get to turn in your research essay early for the chance to rewrite, which is nice.
hes a nice guy. you will write a few papers but he dnt grade too hard. he talked in a monotone voice but the stories u read print bad . he lends books if u don't have them . some times he will send u home with pages to read and u have to write a reflection . overall easy class passed with a B
He is my all-time fav professor. He really taught me how to do proper MLA format citations. He is very good at proofreading. He will read to the class a lot and then have open discussions. He is an eloquent professor and teaches important grammar skills. He gives tons of extra credit. If you miss 3 classes you fail. No eating or drinking in class.
Great Prof! He assigned a few typed essays and a few in class but it was always super easy and topics stayed open to interpretation. He loves to start controversial discussions which was fun. He doesn't use Canvas but make a group chat with other students and you'll be good. Easy grader and gives great feedback. AMAZING AND EASY as an 8wk class!!
