Very laid back. Quiz after every short story but they don't really count. Your grade is based on a midterm, a final, one essay, and participation.

TAKE HIM! Best professor I've had for english. One paper which isn't very long, 3-5 pages. Midterm and final which you'll pass if you read and he also gives you the short answer questions beforehand. Readings for every class which are usually short and easy. Gives quizzes on readings which only count if you're in between grades.

Loved him! He will put you on the spot if you don't read which makes the whole class laugh. I always read his assigned books which werent bad and you can find most of them at the library or online but you need the text. He does alot of in class work and group work. As long as you actually read you'll pass.

Decent class as long as you read every story and poem and know who wrote them. Only one paper, midterm, and final determine your grade. Pretty boring unless you're passionate about what you read. Participation is key and extra credit is available.

Took him for Creative Non-Fiction, and I really learned a lot from him. We had 5 papers to do throughout the semester, after having reviewed a rough draft first. He is very helpful and prompt when returning papers and grades. He's very organized, so i definitely recommend taking him!

READ THE STORIES OR YOU WILL DO TERRIBLY! His exams are based on what you read. Only two through the semester, and only one paper. Fairly easy class as long as you don't slack. Lots of group participation, too.

He was really great. I had Fiction Writing online and he really made it my favorite class. He's able to convey his ideas and be helpful without even meeting him. I felt like he really helped me improve my writing. I definitely recommend his classes.

Words cannot describe how awesome this professor is. Prof. Gooch is the man. If you're prepared for every class, you're set. Honestly, it's one of the only classes I look forward to every week. Definitely take him if you can, you'll learn a lot and his insights are very helpful!

I thoroughly enjoyed Gooch's class. He's really bright and an entertaining lecturer. He's a hard grader, but if you put the effor in, you'll do well. He also lets you rewrite the midterm. Also, he won the damn Gugenheim!

Proff Gooch is extremely interesting and obviously very smart. He tells it like it is and allows no wrong interpretation which is exactly what college is all about. He taught me more in the 2 semesters i had him than any other teacher
