Very Good, loves his work, is strict on attendance, for many points earned are in workshops conducted in class. If you want to learn he is the professor you will need. If you think you are just going to breeze through with little effort you will be mistaken.

He's a great teacher and very helpful when describing what he wants from you. If you actually do your work, hand it in on time, and show up to class, it's easy to earn an A.

The course consists of writing a few essays and a couple of group projects, but they are pretty simple and straightforward. Great professor overall, he gives good feedback on essays about what you need to improve for next time.

Even though are work and lectures this semester were pretty straight forward. I really loved being in this class. Professor Dilbeck is kind and thorough in his feedback. He made me feel like my mistakes were fixable and that mistakes are apart of the learning process. This class is set up to set YOU up for success! Great semester!

it was nothing like any other English type class. The whole semester revolved around writing our own fairy tale, a unique yet fun and interactive project. I really enjoyed the activities and the stories we read.i would highly reccommend taking him for a more interactive and unique approach to English that isnt just reading and writing.

Professor Dilbeck, is an acceptable professor. I appreciated the class structure since we were given final deadlines for the unit, and suggested dates to turn in given assignments (to stay on track). He does take a moderate amount of time to grade assignments, but as long as you follow directions and submit before the due dates, you will be fine!

So kind, so understanding, so patient, so cool! Was very straightforward class and not a difficult grader. Just do the work and you'll pass ! Gave me great piece of advice I'll never forget: "Don't worry about other, don't let yourself down." Such a kind man !

Dr. Dilbeck is the best English professor I have ever had. He is easy to understand, engaging, and was an easy grader. As someone who doesn't enjoy English classes, I would definitely recommend him and take him again. He drops the lowest discussion boards and I never got lower than an 100% on anything (it was basically participation).

Great professor, super relatable and understanding. Had one individual paper which was easy (received a 100%). The rest of the class was group work but split between me and my 4 partners, I had about 30 minutes of work outside of class a week. Graded on few things but everything was super easy, just put forth a little effort and you'll do great.

Professor Dilbeck is by far the easiest professor I have ever had. He gives you everything you need to know, piece by piece. All assignments are given 100% as long as you do them and meet the requirements, and he gives you very detailed feedback on said papers. And you get to write a fairy tale! Needless to say, I would 100% recommend taking him!

There are a total of 12 discussion boards for this class (all basically completion credit) and 3 essays. He is not a tough grader, but he still tells you exactly why you missed points and how you can improve. I would definitely recommend taking your English courses with him! Wonderful Professor!

Super easy online course. Only 3 analysis papers and one fairy tale, but he was an easy grader. The rest of the grade was a couple of discussion boards. I took it online so I never met him but he seems like a chill and nice guy. Very light workload; there were only 2-4 assignments due every couple of weeks.

Simple assignments which are graded very easily. The lectures are really helpful as they summarize and clarify the reading. Whole class is formed around writing a fairy tale which can be fun, creative, and easy at the same time.

Because it's an online class, there is minimal contact with the professor, but in the few moments I've connected with him, he seems very kind and caring. I would absolutely take his class again, and wish I could have taken this class in person.

This class was overall very easy. It had one main overarching assignment, which was a fairy tale. Along with that, there were three other essays related to the fairy tale that you had to do. The discussion boards were fairly easy. Overall, I'd recommend taking this course for someone who wants an easy yet interesting Composition 2 class.

Professor Dilbeck gives great feedback on discussion boards and essays. There are 12 discussion boards and 3 essays, and he is very generous when grading discussion boards. MAKE SURE YOUR ESSAYS ARE WRITTEN WELL. His lectures posted on Blackboard are insightful and deepen your understanding of biblical texts. He is happy to help with questions.

Typically, there was about one paper due each month and it wasn't too difficult to complete. I felt as though I never got any good feedback from this professor on my work. Nothing was graded in a timely manner. Most of my work did not get graded until at least 2.5 weeks after it was submitted.

The lectures were really great. They are broken down in a step by step way, that makes then really digestible and easy to understand as you go through each unit. It was challenging and rewarding. I learned a lot and really enjoyed this course.

I really enjoyed Prof Dilbeck, and would highly suggest. He was an easy grader, not nit picky at all. As long as you can convey that you understand what's going on and read the work, you will get a good grade. He doesn't have a ton of things to grade, so he stays on top of it. I maintained an A the entire class.
