This instructor believes he is a lot smarter than what he is. A trait of an intelligent professor is a bit of humility. He also seems to have an inferiority complex about only teaching at a community college, as opposed to a prestigious university.

He is a fair grader and I did learn a lot from his class. He bashed my first couple papers and that motivated me to really try on the last few. Everything worked out ok. He noticed a change in my writing skills. He gives little quizes once or twice a week on stories from the book, do them and they will help your grade.

Really understands the subject, and the average intelligence of the people in the class. Easy reading. Not a big fan of some of the prompts for essays, but analyzing greatfun books make up for it. Not much in terms of textbook learning, but introduced new ways of looking at Novels and short stories. Great class.

One of the few good professors at BC, but he makes you work for your grade so don't expect it to be easy. He also really knows his stuff.

You will be assigned a lot of essays, but that is to be expected in an ENC1101 class. He's a tough grader, so make sure your papers are perfect before you turn them in. Class time is unhelpful. If you have any questions or need any help, you have to take time and see him during his office hours. You will use both books almost every class.

You read about 5 novels in this class and have a quiz and paper for each. Lectures are long and he does not tolerate disrespect. He gives good feedback on papers and wants to help you to become a better writer.

I do like his personality and how he is; however, I thought his lectures were awfully boring. I would be finding myself wanting to sleep in his class constantly. I believe he should incorporate different activities to get the students more involved with the readings, and then I will recommend him. Other than that, this was an overall easy class.

Senior was great; he obviously likes what he teaches and it shows, and he's happy to let a small debate come up in class as long as it involves the source material. Opinions are welcomed and he doesn't mind if you disagree with him. He has a very dry sense of humor and grades toughly, so it's best to go over your papers a few times before due.

I absolutely loved Professor Senior, he was very clear of what he expected of you in terms of your assignments and essays. He is witty, approachable, and knows whats he's talking about. I definitely plan on taking him again for enc1102.

Excellent professor. The best I've met during my 2 years at BC. If you're planning to transfer to university, taking his class might be the best training you can find at BC. Highly knowledgeable, interesting classes. He really tries to get the most out of his students. Highly recommended.

Awesome teacher, very knowledgeable. Dark and funny sense of humor. My writing def improved since the first day I got there. Tough grader, cannot be absent your grade will drop DRASTICALLY! Gives you options on how to turn in your homework lots of eng labs. All work is homework, few pop quizzes. Not considerate of emergcies. Otherwise, good teacher

Professor Senior taught me a lot. My writing improved. I would definitely recommend him. However, he's sarcastic, but you'll get used to it. What matters is that you learn in the class.

Professor Senior goes straight by the syllabus. He is very sarcastic and comical which keeps his class interesting. The homework is easy and if you want an A, just do exactly what he wants. Easy- going class and you really do learn a few things. 10/10 would have this professor again!

This guy is great. He's really funny and sarcastic most of the time. There aren't any tests at all. All we did was read a novel, summarize the chapters, and discuss them. You'll have essays too; they're not that bad. It's not hard to please him either. He gives good feedback if you can actually read his handwriting; it's not very good.

Professor Senior is a very nice, sarcastic and cool guy. He did make the class fun but he was not easy. No one would EVER get an A on his essays he always had a feedback (which is good if you want to learn) DO HIS JOURNALS! they will help towards the end. And attending is mandatory. i love him, but i would never take him again for english.

This class and Professor Senior aren't for everybody. There are weekly journals that come straight from the text book and four major papers throughout the term. However, he is very good at explaining his points and gives plenty of chances for you to ask. Huge on participation and you will 100% for sure be called on and put on the spot. Be prepared!

Wouldn't take again

Was confused and frustrated in his class. Had a hard time understanding where he was going with his lectures. No clarity on what he wanted on papers, as he never explained in class. Plus, you have to write a paper on an entire book he never discussed in class. If you learn logically rather than creatively, definitely avoid him.

Wouldn't take again

Quizzes are ridiculous at best; you never really know what's gonna be on them. If you're a note-taker do not take this class; I barely took 3 pages of notes during the entirety of this class. He isn't very clear as to how he will grade any of the work, and with that said, be prepared to write a lot!
