Professor Spencer was amazing, despite having only online lectures. He was accommodating and even had a few jokes! Very flexible with extensions. Overall, amazing prof, won't regret taking his class!

I got a really terrible mark in his class but I don't hate him because he was really nice. It seemed to me like he actually wanted to teach his students something meaningful.

The coolest Professor Ive ever met at York! He teaches very intersting material. He cares about his students learning and is super patient he doesnt judge (even if you ask very stupid questions or questions that have already been awnsered). No wonder he is the chair of the writing department!

Hes honestly one of the coolest profs ive ever had. He was both my proffessor and TA, and he was really funny and into the content. It made the class clearer and actually really enjoyable. The CK is a must as the tutotirals and lectures are based of the readings and preperation is important otherwise you wont be able to participate in the group work.

He is an amazing teacher. His lectures are crystal clear, interesting, interactive, and ambitious. John Spencer is not a stereotypical university prof. He is ready to break any boundary that seems unnecessary. This man who is also chair of the Writing department, is a real jewel. If you're interested in writing theory, take his course.

Very helpful teacher who loves to encourage his students. If you dont like to learn about language and writing, this class will leave you boring and restless. Having him as a TA though is helpful since he knows what he is talking about!

I was unsure about talking a writing class, but I actually really enjoyed it! It was one of my favourites so far. There is a lot of note taking, but I found the information to be interesting and eye-opening. Definitely a good class overall.

Comment:
I really liked how he allowed us to draw conclusions for ourselves by showing us as many aspects of a particular subject as he could. He really made me question my previous beliefs, and I'm grateful for that. He's open to change and the tests/exams are easy. I left his course with a great deal of insight and I actually kept up with the readings!

Despite how potentially boring the class could have been, Spencer made it a lot more interesting and was extremely helpful when I had trouble with the course. I got a C on the first essay and an A on the second after finishing tutorials.

Prof Spencer is a smart guy, and seems nice enough, but MY GOD is writ 1300 a bad class! He's monotonous, all we do is write a lot of notes, 2 essays, a midterm, and an exam about boring subject matter. Not fun.
