Comment:
I had to take this class for my teaching certification. It is a waste of time--as a high school English teacher, this grammar is not the material I need to know nor that my students need to know. I do not understand why this class is still required for English teachers when it is non-standard grammar, i.e., not what we would teach students.

Comment:
The class is difficult because he is teaching from his own material. You can screw up very easily if you are not on top of everything from the get go. On the other hand, he offers many opportunities to boost your grade. Not for those unwilling to work hard and actually attend class. Absences resulted in points deducted from final grade.

Comment:
He made us work in pairs on the final project. The day it was due, my partner didn't show up. I had gone to him earlier since I could never get in contact w/her. All he said was, "This is a group project. That means two." He gave both of us an F for the project even though I had talked to him about my problem and was doing well in the class!

Comment:
Maybe because it was a summer class, he seemed to show no enthusiasm for, or interest in, teaching this class. He seemed bored with the material. Because of this, the class was excruciatingly boring. He's also kind of an ass. I would NOT recommend this professor to anyone.

Comment:
English Grammar w/ Underwood was one of my worst undergraduate experiences at UT. He is a nice guy, but forces you to learn his theory of grammar which does not work! (That is why your text is his unpublished manuscript.) Pure torture.

He is very helpful. He doesn't believe in grading according to right and wrong answers but on effort. He comes off like a tyrant but is really very easy going.

Comment:
Dr. Underwood was the first professor I ever had. He made the class feel comfortable about sharing their writing, and worked hard to praise students who made a conscientious effort. Freshman composition was a scary class for me, and he made it feel safe.
