Comment:
Assigns WAY too much work for a humanities class. My first senior semester: Read 3 novels, write 2 mini-essays, 2 8-page essays (Worth 50% of your final grade), watch 2 movies and have multiple quizzes, not on the content of the books and movies but the discussions he has in class. Not to mention everything is graded absurdly.

Very tough grader (especially with essays). only prof i am aware of that gives quizzes based on the lectures for his English 2 class. While he is a nice guy, he's an arbitrarily tough professor who truly believes that his class is your most important class. Oh and he takes note of participation.

Comment:
Had him for "Art of the Story". He keeps the class interesting and inspires discussion. He has a few quizzes but you should be fine if you're following along. There are frequent writing exercises. He grades fairly and gives really good feedback. He might seem boring at first but he's awesome. If you have to take a humanities, take his class.

Professor Rooney is awesome. He class doesn't require an extensive workload just a lot of reading. He is extremely helpful an is always willing to give you his feedback on your essays. Definitely would take another class with him.

Professor Rooney is great, although his grading is a bit harsh on some assignments, considering this is just an elective. He's at the caliber that a college professor should be. Can be quite humorous. Would certainly take him again.

Young guy, down to Earth. Made 9/11 class interesting and easy to contribute to class discussions. Some easy reading followed by thought provoking discussions. Not a lot of work what so ever and allows you to make up tests. You usually wont need any help in this class- its so straight forward.

Good teacher. I have nothing bad to say. He does not give many test and his sylbous is very clear. He is strict on attendance but he is very understanding. I learned a lot in his class. His home work was easy and he helps you through it. There were many class discutions and he is extremlly laid back.

Horrible Professor! He may be smart but for an upper level humainities elective (9/11 Film and Lit) he assigned SO MUCH WORK! read 3 novels, watched 2 movies, wrote 2 five page reports and had to do a 40 minute presentation on a 3rd movie we had to watch on our own. He also graded the papers harder then any english teacher ever. Tons of quizes too

I recommend Prof. Rooney. I had him for my first english and really enjoyed his class, so I had him for my second english as well. He's not a bore, he has some good jokes and stories, he knows what he's talking/teaching about and he understands that we're a tech school and mixes that into his teaching.

You need to read about 2 to 3 story every week, so read it in order to do the quiz. There will be 3 paper to write, the last one will be your creative. So write whatever you want, but it has to be in fiction and nothing in real.

He's a good guy, friendly and easy to talk to. Class discussions are usually interesting. Plenty of essays to write but he tends to be pretty critical of them. Overall, a good english professor.
