He can be very odd and hard to listen to at times but he is overall a very genuine guy. He will talk about his personal life a lot just a warning. He SO passionate about writing. I would take him again

Dr. Palmer is an excellent instructor. He genuinely cares about your education and--he truly helps you improve yourself as a person. Discussions are well-thought out and seriously, he taught me life lessons that will stick forever. Will challenge you with papers but is more than flexible to assist you. Love this man.

He is a really good professor. He lets you do pretty much whatever topic you want for each paper as long as you follow the guidelines. He's funny and awkward. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

If you have a gift for English, this will be a breeze. (I did this instead of the required 101 class.) If it's not your cup of tea, it's still simple, and he makes it enjoyable. I'm pretty sure he and Carol Fike hang out hippie-style after class hours.

Pedantic, judgmental and not helpful in the least. Told me I had poor english skills, which he blamed on my 1st year prof-she was kind, very helpful, and wanted her students to take something useful from the course. Palmer derided my skills, but I have subsequently published in academic journals. He needs to quit so hr can sit hone with his gloom

I love Dr. Palmer. He is awesome. He makes class so interesting, so you want to go. We held hands and sang along to John Mellencamp. You do learn from him, but he definitely makes it easy. And he's hilarious. Take him at least once in your college career.
