Maybe it was my classmates, but i LOVED my class with Towers. The aura of the class was very comfortable and interactive. Loved the people, the material and his teaching style. He's very easy going and i would take a class from him any time.

Took his online English class. He never really updated blackboard. Only wrote a few papers and took a few quizzes. As long as you follow his guidelines you will do good on the paper. He's a really nice guy and I'd take a class with him again.

Comment:
Prof Tower is easy to get along with and is helpful. You must attend class because there is a reading quiz at the beginning of each class. He does tend to grade the papers harder than some but there are other points to be obtained throughout the semester if you attend the classes.

Overall an easy class. Mr. Tower is easy going, can be funny at times to lighten things up. He is a bit harsh on grading the papers. I don't feel he explained fully what was expected out of the papers that needed to be completed.

Somewhat of a quirky professor. Good class for someone looking to be introduced to solid literature--not recommended for those who are well-read! This is a watered-down course, still entertaining though!

Comment:
Personally I thought the class was very dull. Thank God it was half online. It was easy if you put the time to make a quality paper. He does tend to be untimely when it comes to BB assignments (posting late, little clarity in what is due and when it is due) I hear he is an easy grader compared to most though.

Prof Tower is a really nice guy. He has an odd sense of humor but I always found it to be entertaining. I took the hybrid class and you NEED to do all of the online assignments. Thats how I got behind. He can be a tough grader with papers but he writes a lot of helpful things. I would defiantly take another one of his classes.

Mr. Tower is a nice guy who wants to know his students. He didn't always seem prepared for class, but the readings were interesting and the assignments helped me become a better writer. DO YOUR HOMEWORK! Reading quizzes are difficult to pass if you have not read the material! If you do your work and can write a paper, this is not a hard class.

Good Teacher we actually use the book and he is pretty clear on what he wants from your papers. If you need help he is willing to stay after class or schedule a meeting with you. We had about 5 papers and maybe a few test on readings from the book.

I liked Prof Tower enough to take several other classes he offers. Some previous comments were correct, he will miss a couple days, his quizzes are kinda easy, and he can be somewhat ambiguous with his requirements. However, he is a GREAT guy and makes class fun. He encourages thought and discussion. I'd highly recommend him.

Prof. Tower is AMAZING! Class is not difficult, he has interesting interpretations of the readings but encourages you to disagree with them and does not judge you on your opinion. No exams. 1 paper. and you can use all notes on your tests which you can either take online or in class, your choice. Would DEFINITELY take him in any class he teaches!!!

Not easy. Told me my first paper was publishable with some work and I got a 93%, tied for highest in the class. Missed ONE assignment and it dropped me from an A- to a B. Ignored all attempts to make up the assignment.

Mr. Tower missed or canceled at least a 1/3 of our classes. When we where in class we played a lot of games that were suppose to be educational but tended to get off topic quickly... I learned very little and thought this class was a waste of money, but if you are looking for an easy teacher English teacher, Mr. Tower could be your guy.

Comment:
Awful prof to attend class with but definitely an easy A. In terms of learning about analytical reading and writing, this prof belongs in grade school teaching 5th graders. His methods are very elementary and he treated us likewise. Unfortunately a req'd course, EASY A but boring, choose another prof.

Comment:
There is no way to get an A in his class! He may have been easy teacher for EN 101/102, but ONE person out of 30 in my class got a 95%. No one else came near this. Most people scored 80s or lower, and we are all normally A students! Frustrating! He doesn't tell you exactly what he wants, even when asked. Don't take class if you want to keep GPA up!
