Comment:

Let me start by saying that this class is not for the faint of heart. Lusk is an intelligent professor, whose personality and humor isnt for everyone. He often displays his vast knowledge in (extremely tangential) lectures. Theres a heavy workload and tough grading. However, if youre willing to challenge yourself and get help,youre bound to succeed

He goes over homework ONLY! Gets a attitude when asking for help. Very hard grader. Checks EVERYTHING. Make sure to write in pen or your grade will suffer. You do not get graded for showing up. He lies about certain lessons to see what you know. But, also tends to go way off topic. Make sure you have taken grammar and greek mythology recently.

TAKE NOTES! He's hard to follow sometimes. He gives you all the opportunities to improve you have to take them. We ended the semester with 6 people showing up to the final. Tough grader, this is not an easy class.

He is very off topic during lectures and expects you to learn from a booklet. He speaks very quickly, sometimes hard to keep up. Hard to reach outside of class, poor hours. We started with 30 people by three weeks there was only 12 left

Professor Lusk, while a very intelligent man forgets he is teaching to students and showboats his vast wealth of knowledge while teaching at his students. I luckily passed this class being the only class I have ever struggled in. You must show up to listen to his wild tangient "lectures" or you will not pass.

To pass his class, you really have to work hard and study. He is a very helpful teacher and will help you out with anything whenever he can. This is a class you must attend every single class period. It was hard in my opinion, but if you are good at sentence structure and essays you will do great!

Mr. Lusk is a very passionate teacher. However, if you are not passionate about your schoolwork, there is no way you'll succeed in his class. Yes, he lectures long, but his lecture ties everything together if you pay attention. He's here to help you, but if you don't ask for it then it's your fault. He greatly appreciates participation.

If my grade doesn't improve I will be forced to drop the class by the deadline. His only office hours are an hour before class. He doesn't provide an email or return voice messages. He goes off on tangents about world history instead of teaching English. His instruction is unclear then he rips my papers apart. I don't know what he wants.

I took this class thinking I could handle it. I was wrong, he is the hardest teacher I HAVE EVER HAD. He isn't clear in what he expects us to do, he doesn't care about the students because he's getting his paycheck either way. I study and study and but somehow its still not good enough. I wish I would have never taken his class.

I have always received A's and B's in every English class I have ever taken and after taking this class I faced my first failing grade. He's unclear, unfair and critiques everything you have to say, giving you a harsh grade you wouldn't expect. Save your GPA and do not take this class.

Mr. Lusk delivers the ultimate amount of support needed to aid his students while also encouraging their self-development. He provides thought provoking lectures that use the English language to connect the scholars of yesterday to the students of today. He requires the student to put in the work. Nothing is given away here, its earned.

Comment:

In the classroom, he is very difficult to listen, understand, and overall just know what he's trying to say. And when you talk with him outside of class, its not all that much better. Also, on the papers he assigns, no real clear explaination on what he wants to see in it. Overall, he might have been better suited for History than English.

I took him last fall 2012 for my English 98, and my experienced with him as my professor was great. He is very knowledgeable. He seems like a walking dictionary as he knows everything about english world. He doesn't require us to buy book as he makes his own book for us to use the entire semester. I have extremely learned English because of him.

he is such a helpful teacher but one problem is that he is a tough teacher. for a 2 hour class he tried to make it less dreadful by saying interesting facts and jokes about other people, funny about english yet it helps all the way. if you want an A dont take this class, but if you want to learn take him.
