Comment:
I absolutely loved this class. He helped me identify ways in which my style was stagnating and could use improvement. He does have certain preferences on what a "good" style is, but I didn't get marked down at all for using anything else. I found him EXTREMELY helpful in improving my style, which is obviously good since I'm a writing major.

Comment:
Obviously no one has had him for WRT 350... I think this was his first semester teaching it. If possible, avoid him for this class. Everything you do is so vague... he gives out assignments but never teaches you anything, and then he will mark you off for not doing things how he wanted. He brings oreos to class every day though.

Comment:
Dwelle meant well and he was nice, but, like everyone else has said, he didn't make much clear and didn't really grade in any kind of realistic way. I got an A in his workshop, but he kept telling us things about modern writing that weren't true. I don't think he reads new books, you know?

Class is on writing styles but if he doesn't like yours, you're screwed. Workshops were ok if you actually got in a group where they actually cared. I'm a writing major. I had better luck asking my psych major friend to read mine...

He was a good prof. Stay on top of all the hw though, or ur in trouble. Papers were easy and fun. For a class on style of writing, I have to say he definitely impressed me. He was funny, and nice. Great writing prof, definitely.

Easy class with very helpful workshops. Do all the work and stay on top of the copy comments if you dont you'll be screwed at the end of the semester when you put together your portfolio.

Funny, good in-class workshops, and responds to emails quickly. Make sure you stay on top of the homework, you're screwed in the end if you don't. He's an awesome prof and i would definitely take him again.

Don't know how to grade him, because I have never known what my grade in the class is. I'm still waiting for my final grades to really rate him. class seemed easy...

As the other person has said, he grades you on his opinion of you as a person. And he speaks in a very monotonous boaring voice. The course is good, but he is not so good.

Do not take any class he teaches! He is the worst, most boring teacher in existence. His classes serve no purpose, you are graded on his opinion of you as a person.

Not very clear on what he is looking for - makes writing papers a bit confusing. Class can be boring at times, but overall, not too bad. It's easy.

The class is pretty boring but it's not the teachers fault. You pretty much decide your grade yourself. Although when he lecture it is boring.

Comment:
this professor is very nice. he brings in donuts to class every day. he takes attendance, but is not too strict on the attendance policy (miss more than 4 classes you fail) but i wouldnt advise missing too many classes. although boring and pointless at times, you should still go.

Comment:
He is the worst teacher ever. He scares you into thinking you'll fail, and then he gives you a passing grade. He's a male chauvinist **** and makes inappropriate comments all the time. I don't know how he keeps his job. Avoid him.

I learned some valuable things to apply to my writing in this class, but I swear, I never fell asleep as much I did in this class. Totally boring and I had to force myself to go sometimes. I only turned in a partial portfolio and I got an A-.

Tried to scare us into thinking our papers were horrible, but I ended up getting a B. Not very helpful prof but OK enough. Just revise your papers and unless they really stink you'll be fine-it's not as easy to get a D as they make it seem.

I cannot put into words how much this guy does not deserve his job. Just trust me...if at all possible, get a different teacher or withhold taking this class for the time.
