His class was just really boring. The material wasn't bad, and you only have a few papers to do, but I always dreaded this class simply because he wasn't good at engaging the students.

You NEED to read to pass this class. He's lecture heavy, but tries to make it more than that. A few in class group work, a 15 minute group presentation, and a 5-6 page paper. 3 tests. He gives you a study guide before each test that makes it pretty easy to pass. He grades lightly, so that's a plus. I can't imagine it'd be easy to fail this class.

Dr. Pigg is very lecture based, so if you're a visual learner it might be difficult. But he explains things well and he'll answer any questions you have. Be prepared for daily journals, 1 group presentation, and 1 paper. The tests are easy as long as you read the material. He's a pretty easy grader which is a huge relief. I would take him again.

Dr. Pigg is a wonderful professor. In this class you will read a LOT of plays and you will have to read aloud in class. He has tests, but they are out of class and open book for the most part. You will have to give a presentation and write a 6 page paper.

Dr. Pigg was an awesome teacher. He is very understanding with assignments. He is so passionate about what he teaches it makes it easy to get interested. We watched a lot of movies and had to write papers on them. It was a different approach to essays but it made the class that much more enjoyable. Do the work and it is an easy A.

Just take Dr. Pigg. He is an easy grader but you also feel like you are learning. We watched a bunch of movies. You really did not have to read the books, but I did anyways. He goes over the prompt before he essay is due so you get the general idea of what he wants. He is also a smart guy with like 8 degrees, pretty interesting.

Dr. Pigg's assignments are v involved with the books assigned but at the most skimming the readings & finding a few key points to talk about in class seemed to be good enough. On his syllabus his attendance policy was strict but I skipped fairly often due to work/family emergencies (and even skipped a key assignment - opps!) and still got an A.

I have this professor for one of my English courses online. He does grade fairly easy, but he is vague and doesn't respond to emails or discussions.

I took Dr. Pigg for Secondary English Methods, and it was a great class! Dr. Pigg really cares about his students, and he wants to help you succeed. He's very passionate about teaching, but he is also very busy! He did not return over half of the assignments, and he doesn't use Canvas, so I had no idea what I was making until final grades were out

Dr. Pigg is an amazing teacher. He grades fairly easy on papers. He's funny and easy going. He admires people who speak up in class and answers his questions. Try to attend all his lectures because he does notice who doesn't show up and who does. He gives 6 papers and all are fairly easy and relatively short. 10/10 would recommend.

Dr. Pigg tends to be VERY vague, but hes also very understanding. Hes also hilarious. Hell work with you if he doesnt have his stuff together, which happens sometimes.

Dr. Pigg is so easy for English 111! You write a lot of papers but they are very easy and always short! He gives a couple options for each paper as well. At the end of the semester you get to watch movies and they are actually good movies. Easy grader and super funny in class. Attendance is mandatory though so don't take him if you won't show up!

I personally loved Mr. Pigg. You can tell he actually cares about what he is teaching and does his best to make sure his students know the information. If you ask for help, he is always willing to help. You do have to do journal entries for every class period, so if youre someone who doesnt go to class often, dont take his class.

I took ENG 112 online with Dr. Pigg. He is good professor but takes long to grade the assignments. As long as you can read and do your papers on time it's easy class. He is good professor to work with.

Great Professor that you should take. That said if you're looking to miss a few days don't even try this class. Anymore than 4 misses and you're out.

Very lecture-based, so not the best for visual learners. Gives study guides for tests. Lots of reading. Good class and professor overall.
