Comment:
A lot of people had bad experiences, but I thought he was alright. He is a very tough grader. I have gotten straight A's in English forever, but in his class I was lucky to get an A-. You read a play a week and you're almost always working on a paper. He helped me at his office hours and gave decent feedback. Participating in class is also crucial.

He is such a though grader, knocked me down 20 points on a paper just because my title wasnt creative enough. You will read a play every weekend except for a select few. He will call on you randomly so you better pay attention.

Comment:
If you are taking this as a gen ed I wouldn't recomend him. He is a very very though grader. You will more than likely not get an A no matter how good of a writer you are. He makes you over analyze every text to the point where you questioning why anyone would need to go so in depth.

A really intelligent professor who is engaging in class. He expects participation and a deeper level of thinking from his students. If you read all the material and take into account the feedback he gives you, you'll be fine. He's good about offering you help when you need it, but you have to take the initiative.

He is a very tough grader and is very one minded. He doesn't take other point of views about the reading into real consideration. Nice guy but not the best teacher. He grades his 202 papers extremely tough and expects perfection.

He's a hard grader. He grades as though his 202 course is a 300 or 400 level class. If you want to do well in this class you have to read all of the required texts. He is a good person, however, if you have a personal issue come up and you let him know he will make sure that you are okay.

Quizzes are basically everyday. You must participate. There is a group project. There are so many papers. He grade so hard. There are no test but the final. He expect so much out of everyone and has so many rules. If your tardy half of your points are taken. He don't take any excuses for anything.

Extremely willing to help if you put forth the effort. A harsh grader, but never lets you wonder what you did wrong. He is understanding if you make an effort.. TALK TO HIM. Calls on people at random. participation points. Very sweet guy.

He is willing to help anyone who asks for it, but grades very hard. I had almost half of my class drop out of it. Calls on people randomly so read outside of class!

Comment:
Would not recommend. He seems to think we are English majors with the way he teaches his class. Very harsh and bias grader. Lots of overlapping busy work, worth no points compared to the amount of work we are expected to put in. If you are taking this class solely as a gen ed, take a different professor.

He is not a good professor, and his class is very boring. He grades not according to what we are learning about.. If you call what he teaches learning at all. I do not recommend him at all!

I really enjoyed this class. I have never liked english but he really helped me understand. You have papers to write but if you go to his office hours he will be willing to help you brainstorm. He is a great professor.

He is a great teacher but the class involved a lot of participation, so don't take his class if you don't wanna talk. He grades pretty easy, he doesn't give out little pointless assignments, he makes everything clear, and really helps you understand what you are learning about. Easy class.

I literally would get called on at least 15 times a day! He picks on people randomly to answer questions. Very hard grader and would not recommend him.

Difficult. You have to work HARD to get an A. Tons of reading, a few easy quizzes, and five 4 pageish papers. He picks fairly interesting books, and the entire class is dicussion based--he will call on your randomly. Go to his office hours and the WC to survive. However, Chris will go out of his way to help you and you'll become a better writer.

Comment:
Chris is an all around good professor. He is really nice and genuinely shows interest in helping each student. However, he grades papers very hard. Even if you are a great writer, do not expect to get an A. The books were somewhat interesting, but you will write the same type of paper for each book. It gets quite repetitive.
