The professor is a great guy, very nice and considering we are in the middle of a pandemic (2020), he was very considerate of the students. He can talk for a while but he genuinely makes writing not so bad.

Comment:
The best English course I have ever taken ! Writing is not my strongest skill, but the way he broke everything down and the amount of effort he put into helping us with our essays really helped me get that solid A ! Besides the 3-part research paper, there were open-book quizzes based on grammar which were not too bad. Highly recommend this guy!!!

Comment:
His classes are so comfortable bc he's an easy going guy -& he's hysterical. He's almost always late, or postpones class, but does use his time to teach (long lectures though). Only a few testsquizzes which are all open book & usually common sense. He wants all of his students to pass, so he helps out as much as he can.

Kelley is just about the oddest guy on campus but he's straight up hilarious and a pretty bright dude. His essay's usually cover pretty interesting topics and are pretty easy to write about. As long as you go to class and take notes you'll get at least a B.

Kind of weird guy but he will make you cry from laughter at the strangest things. He knows his stuff and will give you great feedback on your writing. Easy A as long as you show up and pay attention and put in some effort.

Really cool guy. He cancels class a lot which is nice. He makes kind of crappy jokes, but he's a fair grader and his class is pretty easy if you do the papers. Kind of a pushover.

Really weird guy. But pretty easy class, essay every two weeks, no need to read or even buy the books, you'll never use them. Extra credit quizes to help make up for bad papers, study for them .. they help. Up to 400 pts of EC!

Take his class!! He will turn around the usually dull topic of expository writing to be a very fun class, seeing that he is hilarious! Very down-to-earth and helpful when speaking to you about essays. Easy extra-credit quizzes.He's like your favorite college buddy, only more informative in essay writing. You will laugh + learn better writing skills

Where to begin? Crazy dude that curses a lot more then a teacher should be in front of his students. Very weird teaching method. He always that he wants to give you a higher grade, but he can't. Who is stopping him from giving that higher grade to you? Good class, weird teaching style, AND even more weird essay prompts.
