Professor Dry is awesome. Id recommend his class to anyone. He is caring and understanding. Participation is a must. Even over zoom it was probably the most fun class Ive taken. Prepare to write a lot and share your stories with your entire class. Some will be new to writing and some very experienced just be ready to share.

Professor Dry was awesome! He posted all the work at the begging of each unit so you could move ahead in the class if you needed to. We had 4 papers total, and we were given 2 weeks each time to work on them (you can start earlier if you work ahead). He also chose amazing and very relevant books to read for the course! He responds to emails FAST!

Professor Dry was my first teacher at Laspo and my experience was great! It was a lot of work but if you divide your time wisely it shouldnt be a problem. Overall, hes a great teacher who gives good feedback and grades assignments fairly quickly. He also lets you revise your essays for more points, and there are some extra credit opportunities.

Mr. Dry is an amazing Professor, and if you put in the effort, you will definetly get an A. The books we read are also interesting (unlike most english classes). He replies to his emails very quickley and grades papers in about a week. He does assign work that you have to put time into, although he is not a tough grader. He's also really nice! :)))

His class isn't extremely easy where you don't have to try, but the guidelines are very straightforward and his grading rubric for the assignments are very clear. Most of his assignments he says "go above and beyond the minimum for full credit" and it isn't very hard to write an extra 100 words, etc. Good amt of reading so organize well.

One of the best teachers Ive ever had. I use to struggle with English in high school. Once I had him I realized I loved English & I passed with an A. If you do all your work and read the books you will pass. Unfortunately Im at LMC & I wish he taught there & I would take him again .Definitely would recommend him!!

I took an online class. Excellent professor! Criteria/Directions are straightforward. Of course, reasonable amount of work. Readings, a lot of readings/writting but it is English haha. Work is manageable. Gives excellent feedback and opportunities for extra credit. I definitely recommend him if this is your first year in college or second.

I'd say he's a great teacher gave good feedback, and emails ASAP. I kept a A halfway into the semester until one paper he claimed my writing was not suffienct and said "imperative to get ESL tutor. However, I'm a native english speaker and never had problems with an english class so I was slightly insulted. But I did appreciate his other feedback.

Professor Dry is one of my favorite professors. Lots of reading, but it's a pretty easy A, positive and helpful feedback throughout the entire semester, quick to grade and reply to emails (I emailed often for clarification because it is an online class). He offers a lot of extra credit in case you need it. Easily my favorite class of all time!

I appreciate his way of teaching, made sure everyone understands. Very clear grading criteria. Be in class at all time unless if something very inevitable happens, notify him for your absence. He is very understanding and If you miss one class he will do what he can to get you back on tract. I learned a lot in his class. Thank you Mr. Dry!

as i was saying.. He grades tough but the fact that he gives such good feedback helps out so much. I am looking forward to taking his 1A class. Its not going to be an easy class but I would rather be challenged by this great instructor rather than be handed an easy A by someone else.
