He is a great professor and if you are struggling in the class do not hesitate to ask for help. He will work with you to help you pass if you're putting an effort in as well. He gives feedback on the essays and more than enough time to finish the essays.

If youve got a pretty decent understanding of writing essays, Professor Suwak will give you all the feedback you need to be compelling and confident in your work. Hes an incredible professor, making the learning environment very educational but fun above all else. If youre prepared to put the work in, you will have a lot of fun in his class.

I will be open and honest about this professor. I got an A in his class, and the reason I did was because I attended every zoom meeting. If you don't go to the meetings, then you will majorly be missing out and won't have the information for the essays. He met with me out of class and clearly knows the material. He wants his students to succeed.

I thought he was really good professor when I took this class last year. The amount of papers required was pretty reasonable. He also always looked at drafts in advance which was very helpful. If you take his class make sure you always show up to draft reviews, it will make a huge difference.

Professor Suwak is awesome! He certainly will not hand you an "A", but he will provide you with the tools necessary to get you there. If I ever get the chance to take one of his classes again, I wont think twice about it.

Prof. Suwak is an amazing teacher. He is a very tough grader but his feedback is on point. Be ready to read the material and ask questions if you do not understand. When you write your papers, make sure you send him a rough draft or your grade will suffer. Communicate with him when you have issues, class work or life.

Professor Suwak is such a helpful professor! He throughly read all of my rough drafts and would provide me with feedback and critiques which would make my essay more professional and ultimately get me a better grade. I would recommend this course with Professor Suwak for all those who are looking for a professor who cares about their students work.

There are only 5 assignments so that's pretty cool, each assignment progresses in reading length but it doesn't ever become unmanageable. He really figures you out as a writer and sets standards for grading that are tough but fair depending on your writing level. He'll really work with you especially for online through zoom which was super helpful

This professor is very funny and is willing to give you amazing feedback and clearly provide you with his expectations for assignments if you just ask the right questions. I suggest attending all classes, asking as many questions as possible, and using all revision days wisely.

Professor Suwak is a great teacher. I would definitely take his class again. His classes are usually not boring, i recommending showing up to them daily and he gives optional days to review your drafts which are very helpful!!

Having to take all of my courses online because of covid was difficult, but this was one of the few courses that I was actually able to learn in. The lectures were enjoyable and I felt my writing and analysing skills grow throughout the semester. The feedback Prof. Suwak gave was extremely helpful, and as long as you pay attention ,you'll succeed.

I took this class spring of 2020. Suwak is willing to work with you if you are willing to put the work in. Hes a little fanatical sometimes but it makes class interesting. Tough grader. Communication is key. Always ask questions and email him your drafts early!!! If youre lazy or looking for an easy A you better look somewhere else.

Professor Suwak, was my favorite professor fall freshman year. His lectures were engaging and interactive. I found his class straightforward, his essays weren't easy but his lectures gave you the material you needed to write a successful essay. Never be shy to ask him questions but don't expect him to hand you answers.

I had Professor Suwak for English 1020 and he was great. I absolutely would take a class with him again. A week before papers were due, he had days where he would look over your essay draft with you and make suggestions on how to improve it, which was very helpful and you should absolutely take advantage of.

English Comp & Lit is a writing class, so you have to read and write about what you read. There is hardly any short-cuts you can take in a class like this. His lectures are fantastic. He gives you a lot of information that can go into your writing(he is also hilarious which is a +) You can learn a lot from him if you try.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS ONLINE!! Suwak didn't provide much information on what he is looking for and was difficult to deal with. I sent him a draft of a paper like he requested and his response was "I should not be expected to open attachments". He would say "clear, compelling thesis" and still give you a bad grade.

Comment:
I took Professor Suwaks class in the fall, and I must say that even though English classes can sometimes be boring and no fun, he made it fun. He grades fairly and really tries to help and make you a better writer. Anyone who doesnt like English class will quickly like it with Suwak as their teacher.
