Comment:
Do not take him. He is outdated, class does not make sense, so much pointless reading required. Harsh grader, syllabus and online assignments do not match. I didn't do a second part of an assignment because of this. You need to double check all deadline in the syllabus and online.

This course requires a lot of work. If youre willing to put in hours and hours of work, you will pass. The online exercises are very helpful for the exams. Pay close attention to deadlines.

Took this class online; it was fairly simple. He posted a paper with our assignments and their due dates. Super helpful, you can always e-mail him if you have any questions. Only thing I didn't like was the final, too many questions in so little time.

I haven't started this online class yet but if you choose to do so, beware that he makes you buy one specific font for $25, with an $8 downloading fee. It's a complete scam and there's no way around it as far as I can see. I'm pissed that I had to waste my money on this useless font, but it's essential or you can't see any of the class material.

Fun teacher. Took Vampires in lit, folk, film. Fun course. There is one paper at the end of the quarter that was 8 pages long, but he requires APA format instead of MLA. You are required to do discussion mods online, but at the end of the quarter you get to watch a bunch of vampire movies. His lectures were super fun. He is a nice teacher.

This isn't a class, it's a computer program. I recommend you avoid this and take a face to face class with a prof where you really learn something.

I took this class online. When I was confused about the syllabus he responded to my email very quickly. If you actually pay attention to the practice tests you will do well on the real tests. I'm not sure why the reviews are so bad, the class wasn't bad at all!

I thought this class easy as long as you study and complete the assignment exercises you will do fine. I never really used one of the books. There are A LOT!! of test that you need to take so you need to dedicate time to it. Practice exercises are timed but you can take as many times as you like. Test are timed and can only take once!

I never used one of the books I bought. It was Lectures in the Structure of English Edition: 2nd. It was just all of his pwr pt presentations printed and binded together to form a book. I wish I would've saved $30 by not buying it. But the class itself was not bad at all. You definitely have to dedicate time. Take good notes =)

Comment:
Dr. Carlisle is the best professor at CSUB I have ever had. The material is difficult and kinda boring to most people, but his sense of humor and incredible knowledge of his discipline make the class much more enjoyable than I expected. Engl 319 is the most useful class I've taken in college, and that is largely due to Dr. Carlisle' teaching.

Took the class online, textbook not necessary. The class is EXTREMELY difficult, this class will need to be your MAIN focus when you take it. He is not available and it takes him days to respond to emailed questions. I received A's on every test but the final exam & ended up with a C, he's very difficult to work with.

He's a bit fast paced, so you might want to have some caffine before you attend class. Other than that I really can't complain. Although the material can be quite difficult and confusing at time he really does put his best effor understand what is going on. His demands are very fair. I would higly recommed him.

I took professor Carlisle class online. At first it was difficult to comprehend. Once I got the hang of it, it was not that difficult to understand how to maneuver through the coarse. BUT the class in itself is extremely difficult. The beginning is extremely difficult. We had test every two weeks throughout the quarter. The Final is 30%. GOOD LUCK

I took this class online while living in the AV. It's a very difficult class that you HAVE to stay on top of and make sure you understand. The tests are online as well but you are required to go to the lab to take them. The class work is very time consuming so make sure you have the time.

I took the English 319 class online and it was very difficult!! I failed the class and have an A/B average in all other classes. There was so much work and it was very difficult and time consuming! Seemed like way more work than allowed for the 10 weeks. Also you had to go on campus to take the exams. Make sure your schedule allows for that.

Class was pretty low key online as long as you read the assigned readings you will be fine. One 8-10 page paper that was pretty easy. Overall class was way easy when compared to his Eng 319 class. Don't shy away from him on this course!! WAY WORTH it!
