Both classes were online. Both classes had the same format. Journal questions every week based on the readings. one midterm and final and a small paper. provides the lectures and explains the material well enough to understand the content better and really good at grading and giving feedback

In this class we had five papers that we needed to write. We only required two books. But I didn't use them, it just to help you with the writing prompts. I liked how he explained the requirements for the essays very well. So nothing to stress about. If you need help improving your writing or if you enjoy writing, take this class!

I took CPLT 312, I was hesitant at first but decided to give it a chance. Highly recommend! Take Professor Bonca. I took him online, we had one paper, and reading homework. The homework is very straight forward, you do require the assigned textbook. Attendance was mandatory.

Professor Bonca is a must have for English majors at CSUF. I had him for 2 courses so far and will soon have him for a third. You don't always have to be up to date with the readings because he lectures passionately for almost the entire class period on the material. Class consists of essays and written exams, easy grader, gives great feedback

Comment:
I've taken this prof twice before and loved it, but his online class is horrible. He has assigned twice the workload of his in-person classes (10 books for this class), there is NO interaction with other students, and little from him. His long, typed lectures are hard to get through, and there are few grades given, BEWARE. Impossible workload.

I really recommend Professor Bonca. He is clear and concise in his requirements and tells you exactly how to do the work. His class can seem like a lot of work, but it is definitely worth it for a good grade. He has 3 big papers and novels that have to be read. Makes you think critically about the work in order to perform better.

Prof Bonca gave me great feedback on my papers and really helped me become a better writer. His online summer class was VERY relaxed and an easy A but I also learned how to write better. The writing prompts he uses are all different and he is very flexible if you want to write on your own topic. I highly recommend him for 301!

Took his online English comp class this summer which was super chill, one paper a week based on reading assignments for that week. He gave a lot of feedback on my papers to help improve my grade. Hes a really tough grader but its worth it! Best of all theres no boring busy work like in other online classes.

Prof Bonca is super insightful and really helped me to understand and better appreciate the novels we read. Downside? If you miss a class, you're lost. Especially because he misses a lot of classes too. At the end of the semester, it felt like a big game of catch up.

Prof Bonca is amazing! Definitely one of my favorite profs. I try and take him for every class. Hes one of the long time professors in the department, his lectures are interesting and the books we read were fascinating. He makes the discussions relevant to our lives. Some of the books in his classes became my all time favorites. Life changing!

Comment:
Bonca has great lectures was a little frustrating. He didn't typically make any information available online. Consistent Email communication was also unreliable. The course schedule was constantly being updated and too many works were crammed in at the last minute only to be omitted from the lectures. While a good teacher, he is disorganized.

Professor Bonca is one of the best professors I've had in college. His lectures of the novels are very thorough and engaging. You can tell he is passionate about the course material and has a very laid back personality. All tests are free response/essay format and he's a tough grader, but I always felt prepared going into them!

Bonca was my favorite teacher this semester! He was enthusiastic about the pop culture class! There was only a couple essays and the class was mostly music. A lot of writing with the journals but it's not hard. The class was amazing, enlightening, and the material we covered was interesting. The lectures were a little slow but it was overall great!

This is Intermediate Creative Writing, but think of it more as a fictional-workshop class. If you are in the process of trying to write a fiction novel, this class is for you. Two stories (4 to 7 pages) and one revision of your story. No midterm, no final. Your homework is to write short critiques on the stories in class. 5 long critiques as well.

Prof. Bonca is outstanding! I was not much of a reader, but he inspired me to read and write more often. His lectures are the key to doing well on the exams; that and reading the books, but I'm a non-English major and I managed. 2 midterms, and 1 cumulative exam. In class writing on the books. Chooses pretty good American books. Great person.

Bonca is a great professor. He is enthusiatic about the readings and makes them interesting. The class consisted of 2 midterm where you identify a passage and closely analyze it. One 5 page paper at the end and two take home essays for the final. Pay attention to the passages he reads in class and you'll be fine!

Bonca is a pretty good professor. Knows his stuff. Attendance is taken with a sign-in sheet but somedays he doesn't pass one around. There's an in-class journal and an out-of-class journal. Pretty easy. Midterm is 3 short answers and 1 long answer. The final is the same thing. There's reading but I just used google. Bring book to class!

He had super interesting lectures prepared for this class. In class & out of class journal. We listened to music, watched movies, and discussed the novels that we were required to read. The midterm and final are open note, so take good notes and review the handouts. PARTICIPATE & go to class if you want an A.

Comment:
I would skip his class. Honestly one of the most boring professors I've ever had at CSUF. He just goes on and on about the books we read in class. Some of the books were interesting but some I didn't even bother to open. I would recommend to find another English class/professor, if you can.
