Comment:

Hes a great professor I didnt know what to think in the beginning. But honestly all you have to do is put in the easy effort and you should receive a great grade. The test are easy. The essays are too, and as long as you turn in every single one in you should be fine.

Comment:

He was a really nice professor, and was very helpful. We did mostly essays, but they had a very clear criteria, so they were all very easy. The midterm and final were the easiest tests I've ever taken, so I recommend him for English 200.

Comment:

Only take this course if it's required for your major. He doesn't know much about the material, and his discussions about the literature are surface level. He dislikes it if you give a legitmate analysis of the text. He is doing a disservice to lit majors. My eighth grade English class was harder than this course.

Comment:

He's a nice guy, but I found his class really monotonous. You literally read a few pages from the book (as homework), answer questions easily found in the readings, and then show up to class to discuss the questions from the homework -- on repeat. Participation matters, but you can just sit there if you want. Midterm and Final are super easy.

Comment:

Stevenson does not teach. Tons of unnecessary homework. No freedom to voice your opinion in class. We actually read a book titled Reading and Writing about Literature and an essay book even though the class is not a composition course. Expect to be dismissed after class like you are a 3rd grader. He does not expand on what we read. Does not teach!!

Comment:

Smiles a lot. Nice guy. By the end of the year, you question whether or not he actually just hates everyone. His favorite writing style is clear, sharp, and dramatic. Hemingway fanatic. If you're an English Major, the class is a joke. All of his story critiques are harsh and mean. Don't be discouraged, my friend! Easy A

Comment:

He should be a high school teacher. Takes attendance, and be expected to be "excused" from class. He will try to get students to stay after exams. He assigns a ton of homework, but it's easy if you read the assigned chapters. Do the work and you'll pass. I learned nothing. It's just a pain coming to class because he treats students like they're 14.

Comment:

A very good professor! He can tell how much effort each students puts into his class which can help those who aren't good at English. Very clear expectations. Not a lot of homework, points are based off classworkparticipation and essays. lf you put the work in, you will get an A. By the end of this class you should also have learned quite a bit!

Professor Stevenson's class is great! I find it not hard at all the maintain an A or B all semester in his class. He gives online homework, but it's really easy. The essays are moderately long. Overall I love his class, and I want to get him for English 1A for sure!

Comment:

I took this class while take 18.5 units. This class no joke is about 8 hours a week of just reading! If you don't enjoy reading old English and pages and pages of homework I would take another class. The homework is a majority of the grade but tests are also heavily weighted. This class isn't too hard but make sure you have time. I ended w/ an A.

Comment:

I've never been so disappointed. He doesn't take his students in creative writing seriously, and he is the least creative person I've met. All busy work, no learning. Dreaded his class, and I'm a writer by nature. Should be teaching middle school grammar, has no business being in this field. He robbed me of what should have been the best class ever

Comment:

Awesome teacher. He is willing to discuss and clarify literature with the students. However, there is daily homework (a lot!) and daily journal writing. Quizzes are decent and the final report was not too hard. Lots of extra credit available! Daily class participation a must.
