Understanding and always flexible with deadlines/assignments. A lot of classes spent watching videos, grading was fair, but no feedback or deadlines. You could see him trying to adjust to hybrid courses, but he's definitely better in person than online.

He's the easiest professor you can have. Very very lenient, barely even have to take notes ever, just do the few easy assignments he gives and you'll be good. Any class you have him for is an easy A or B, nothing challenging. As long as you show your face enough in class and listen you'll pass.

He's the cool could be your drinking buddy type of professor. Enthusiastic, tells tons of stories, and still gets his points across. Bulk grade for course was a research paper. He eased us into it with little assignments and once we began it we were allowed to submit rough drafts that he gave corrections and advice on. You will also read 2 books.

Comment:
In class, knows his stuff, funny, great lectures, he's like Robin Williams in Dead Poets Society. Outside class, never hardly responds to e-mail. If you need to talk meet face to face. He's readily available in his office. Cares more about us learning than giving grades. Hard to know where you stand grade wise since most assignments weren't graded.

He is the absolute man. Our "Final" is a takehome test rewriting a B.S essay we wrote in the beginning of the year. Very easy and he is hilarious. Best teacher I have ever had.

I had Al at EIU in 1989. Looking back, his ethics and guidance helped mold me into the person I am today. He was down to earth then and one of the finest individuals and professors I've had the privilege of being associated with. He kicked me in the rear when I needed it and treated me as a peer. My advice to you: take his classes!

Comment:
Dichara is the laziest professor at the university. I did well in class (A-) but he gives our grades without reading papers. He never holds you the entire class and you learn very little. Take hisclass but be prepared to deal with a man who doesn't take his job seriously.

He's a cool guy. Search for your internship early and have it set up when you start the semester if possible. Just get the assignments done timely and you will do fine.

We met maybe once every other week. He was incredibly easy, and had no demands of us. I don't know what it's like to have him for a class though. Overall, he's a cool guy.
