Comment:
Lobe marks very hard for an intro class. He expects you to magically learn quality writing via random readings that he enjoys and his meandering, and pretentious lectures. He constantly stated that we must prove why we deserve to be listened to. He confuses good writing with writing in his own style. He admitted to purposefully ignoring my emails.

Comment:
Doesn't teach you how to use the Uleth library at all then expects you to know how to use it to cite scholarly sources, and gives a research paper worth 40 % He "taught" how to do good body paragraphs for the paper in the last class a week before it was due. He marks really tough too. There's a good reason his section for writing 1000 fills up last

I do not reccomend this class on an online platform. Professor Lobe knows next to nothing about technology. he is very passionate and is a good teacher, but he rarely replies to emails and has insanely high expectations when most students are trying to learn from their living rooms. wait to take this course when COVID is over.

Cliff is a great guy and knows his stuff. He somewhat expects students to be writing at an academic level as soon as the class starts BUT he is super available for office hours. Wish the marking criteria and rubrics were more clear just to know what is actually expected but your writing will definitely improve after this class, no doubt!

Super understanding and helpful prof! He really enjoys engaging with students so don't be shy; Cliff is an instructor that you can actually talk to. As long as you follow along with the readings and homework, you'll do great. Compared to what I've heard of other writing intro profs, his class was set up with the best format for academic writing.

Professor Lobe is a great teacher. Although his class is hard and requires lots of effort and reading, he is very considerate and helpful. the lectures can be a bit boring. His greatest asset is his availability and feedback. Visit his office often and you'll likely do much better. Overall, i would recommend him if you have to take the class.

Such a helpful and insightful prof. As long as you put in the effort, he will too. Definitely knows his stuff and wants to see you improve. Participate in class, do the readings, take notes and you will do good! He made my Writing 1000 experience a breeze.

Professor Lobe is great, he teaches all you need to succeed in class and is more than willing to help out during his office hours. He wants you to improve yourself, he gives you the information but you have to put in the work. English is my second language and his class was really helpful to me. I would recommend him to everyone.

Best prof I've ever had. He marks hard and his exams are tough but he is more than willing to work with students outside of class and is committed to his students. Everything for the exams is on the handouts, you have to put in some effort, but hands down most helpful class I've taken in university and one of the best people I know

This class is a requirement for every major in the university and Cliff lobe grades like this is a 4th year class. He marks hard, and if you don't write like he wants you will fail as he only likes writing a certain way, his way. Even if help is asked for you will still get an F in course. For exams he gives you questions that he won't ask

He doesnt explain what he wants and tries to make everyone write like him. You can go see him and ask for help but even if you use his guidance, hell still question your work and grade you poorly. Dont bother asking for help, he is quite confusing. Very dull lectures. Would not recommend

He knows his stuff, and tries to help you out. He is an ok teacher, I think the real problem was the validity of the class he had to teach. Waste of time, but mandatory because it's a liberal arts school. He does have a monotone voice so if you fall asleep easily in class watch out. He looks for participation. He's a great guy though.

Dr Lobe is a really great professor. All you need to do is pay attention and show interest. Office hours do wonders. He cares about his student's success. I have no regrets taking this class. Found it to be very helpful with other courses. His tries to be funny to keep the class going and participation in class discussions helps up your grades.

Dr. Lobe is a great prof. He really knows his stuff and is always willing to help outside of class. He has high expectations, especially for a first year class, but he really helps you understand the content and you will notice huge improvements in your writing after taking this course. He's super nice, but you've got to put in the effort!

Dr. Lobe is straight up one of the best professors I have ever had. He is more than willing to put personal time in to help you understand the material; simply show interest and put in the effort. He focuses a lot on why things are important rather than just making you memorize things, which is extremely helpful. He made me enjoy Writing/English.

Highly recommend taking his class; he completely changed my attitudes towards writing. It is definitely worth it to go to his office hours as he is really helpful and encouraging. The class is lots of work, but really rewarding if you put in the effort. An "A" is not impossible as some others suggest. Would definitely take his class again.

Comment:
Very unfair grading considering it is an intro level course that is mandatory for most majors. Other students suggest that all the other profs are much more reasonable. There is an unrealistic amount of reading assigned and the final did not reflect what was taught in class. Very difficult to stay attentive due to his monotone voice.
