He's actually a really great teacher! I've personally learnt a lot from him and my writing skills have definitely improved significantly. Not everyone understands his sense of humor but he's actually p funny. He's super helpful in his office hours and he WILL care if you show that you care. He's a tough grader so watch out!

this teacher is awful... seriously run. he is unclear, does not refresh anything about writing a good paper yet expects perfection. he is kind of creepy and seems to hit on girls in with a pitty me story telling of his life. it is not an easy class and if you make it you will have gained nothing at all from this class.

Knows what he's talking about. Isn't an easy class but will learn a lot from him. I have always been told I'm a good writer but he helped me take it to another level.

This teacher is terrible. He doesn't teach you how to write any type of essay but instead assigns mindless book exercises, and is a very harsh grader. He is sexest against men, makes crude comments about sex and or ****rgraphy, and grades with a bias. Not a bad guy just a bad teacher.

Mr.Mavin really cares about what he teaches;and is fair in grading essays. He can be odd at times and constantly tells personal stories but does an ok job at keeping you awake in the class. Alot of busy work and exercise...not to many quizzes and 5 essays..not including the final

Do NOT take this teacher if u just need this class, he grades extremely hard on essays, hard to get a hold of, n expects too much. If u are an English major, go ahead, but if dont want to mess up yer gpa, I suggest take a different teacher. I already made the mistake -_-

Comment:

His class was average, I had him last quarter and did not particularly like the class. He's pretty cool and all, but he often gets carried away with strange personal stories. He like to mumble and chuckle to himself, very weird. He grades tough on essays, and is hard on grammer. Hard to get an A!!

I had this teacher last quarter. He was absolutely fantastic and I dont understand why everyone is giving him a bad rep. He's very helpful if you actually go to his office hours! He's extremely funny with his sarcasm and his funny personal stories. I would recommend him to anyone. GO MR.MARVIN GO!!!

Comment:

A very obnoxious, whiny professor. He wastes our time talking about his life and even admits to it. Can be nice, but unsympathetic if you're late (car accidents included.) Knows his material, but redundant. Marks you off points for "style." Take him only if your writing is fuzzy; if not, avoid.

Comment:

Unprofessional with his anecdotes. He grades a lot on personal bias and his own style, and A's in his class are rare because of this. He's strict about punctuality and is not forgiving about reasons for being late. Grammar is learned, but after you get a bad score on an essay. Try not to take him.

He is so very good teacher, but he is very strict.He doesn't give so much homework but he gives the writing assigments so hard. If u're so confident with your writing , take him. He is careful about the grammar errors. Good luck!!!
