Comment:
He is the kind of teacher that just does NOT give 100s on papers - he will find something to critique, so do not go into his class expecting that if you fulfill all basic aspects of prompts with adequate effort you will get maximum points.

Do NOT take his class. Attendance is mandatory, if you miss 3 it's an automatic 0 for 10% of your grade. He claims he is willing to help but if you email him/go to office hours/ask for help he is extremely condescending &rude. AND HE IS ANNOYING! Non stop "UHM"s after every word out of his mouth. Just avoid at all costs, He made me dislike writing.

Comment:
There are 4 major papers along with 4 short essays. He picked great essay topics throughout the semester, but he was a tough grader because the points weren't enough (each paper was worth 10-25 points) so it was harder to get an A. He doesn't let you use cell-phones or laptops!!

Comment:
Seth was a great professor and I couldn't have asked for a better experience as my first college English class. His prompts aren't difficult and it isn't that hard to get A's on the papers. I did it and I was horrible at writing in high school. He's very good at helping you and if he sees that you're trying/ actually revising, you'll be fine.

Attendance is mandatory and he HATES when students use their phones. Go to office hours and tell him you want an A and he'll help you to get the highest grade you can. 94 is the cutoff for a solid A which is kind of high.

He was funny to talk to but he grades strictly. You must attend class, turn OFF cell phones, and make sure you have enough time to write. I would avoid but he is a funny person.

Avoid completely. Turned in all my work, participated, never was absent and still managed to only pull a B. He would take off points for everything, his assignments were extremely unclear. Can be a bit rude to students and sidetracks way too much in the little time we met. If you want to turn in an essay a week for a semester, take him.

Comment:
Professor means well and is great at what he does. He uses the book from day one, SO GET IT! However, it was really annoying with no matter how hard you tried, it seemed impossible to receive an A on anything therefore I made a B+...literally an 89.5% and he didnt round up :( Also, never expect to leave early, he has a real issue with that.

4 essays. If you attend class, honestly do a good job on essays, and participate, you will get the A for sure. He talks about random things sometimes but stays on track on how to actually improve our writing.

Take him!! He is very clear on every assignment. Very helpful. Go to his office hours. You need the book, but it is very helpful. Attendance is mandatory but we always had something productive to do. His humor keeps a boring writing class alive. 4 essays total. If you do your work on time you will get a A.

He will take points off for anything/everything. Super strict on attendance so you can listen to him ramble on about nothing. You have only one week to write his 4 page papers. Do not take him.

Comment:
This guy will pick apart any piece of work you turn in and take off points for ANY REASON. You have 100 points of work for the whole class, if you miss 10 points altogether, no A for you. Super annoying in class says "umm" every other word. Acts nice but is a total nitpick when grading. Avoid.

Comment:
This guy is alright, but definitely take someone else if you can. Assignments are vague and unclear many times plus only gives you a week to write them. Gives a lot of useless busy work/reading. He loves homework and assigns way too much. Attendance is mandatory but useless. Also, nearly impossible to get an A in his class. He is helpful though.

Great Professor, definitely do not use cell phones during class time or he will freak out! Easy course, show up, do the homework/classwork and it shouldn't be too hard to get an A.

Nice guy. No cell phones. Attend every class, participate every now and then. Essays aren't too bad but minimum 5 pages. Overall easy class and very down to earth professor. Discussions are funny and sometimes off topic. Interesting class though !
