Comment:

Dr. Pigg is a wonderful professor. In this class you will read a LOT of plays and you will have to read aloud in class. He has tests, but they are out of class and open book for the most part. You will have to give a presentation and write a 6 page paper.

Dr. Pigg was an awesome teacher. He is very understanding with assignments. He is so passionate about what he teaches it makes it easy to get interested. We watched a lot of movies and had to write papers on them. It was a different approach to essays but it made the class that much more enjoyable. Do the work and it is an easy A.

Comment:

Just take Dr. Pigg. He is an easy grader but you also feel like you are learning. We watched a bunch of movies. You really did not have to read the books, but I did anyways. He goes over the prompt before he essay is due so you get the general idea of what he wants. He is also a smart guy with like 8 degrees, pretty interesting.

Comment:

Dr. Pigg's assignments are v involved with the books assigned but at the most skimming the readings & finding a few key points to talk about in class seemed to be good enough. On his syllabus his attendance policy was strict but I skipped fairly often due to work/family emergencies (and even skipped a key assignment - opps!) and still got an A.

I have this professor for one of my English courses online. He does grade fairly easy, but he is vague and doesn't respond to emails or discussions.

I took Dr. Pigg for Secondary English Methods, and it was a great class! Dr. Pigg really cares about his students, and he wants to help you succeed. He's very passionate about teaching, but he is also very busy! He did not return over half of the assignments, and he doesn't use Canvas, so I had no idea what I was making until final grades were out

Dr. Pigg is an amazing teacher. He grades fairly easy on papers. He's funny and easy going. He admires people who speak up in class and answers his questions. Try to attend all his lectures because he does notice who doesn't show up and who does. He gives 6 papers and all are fairly easy and relatively short. 10/10 would recommend.

Dr. Pigg tends to be VERY vague, but hes also very understanding. Hes also hilarious. Hell work with you if he doesnt have his stuff together, which happens sometimes.

Comment:

Dr. Pigg is so easy for English 111! You write a lot of papers but they are very easy and always short! He gives a couple options for each paper as well. At the end of the semester you get to watch movies and they are actually good movies. Easy grader and super funny in class. Attendance is mandatory though so don't take him if you won't show up!

I personally loved Mr. Pigg. You can tell he actually cares about what he is teaching and does his best to make sure his students know the information. If you ask for help, he is always willing to help. You do have to do journal entries for every class period, so if youre someone who doesnt go to class often, dont take his class.

I took ENG 112 online with Dr. Pigg. He is good professor but takes long to grade the assignments. As long as you can read and do your papers on time it's easy class. He is good professor to work with.

Great Professor that you should take. That said if you're looking to miss a few days don't even try this class. Anymore than 4 misses and you're out.

Comment:

Dr. Pigg is an incredible man who is very passionate about British Literature. His help is there if you ask him in class or message him on Facebook, emailing him won't get you very far because he doesn't reply to them. The class does consist of a lot reading but you can do most of it on sparknotes.

Comment:

He's a very good speaker and obviously likes what he does. However, his lectures can get very boring after an hour of him talking. The class I took was New Testament and though he gives more detail on what goes on, if you go to church most of it is common sense. He does take attendance at the end of the semester.

He is my favorite english professor. I took him last semester and am taking him again next semester. As long as you come to class, read the material, and write your papers you will pass. You watch movies too. I despise english, but his class was actually entertaining because we joked around a lot.

He is a really good teacher, but you have to be ready to read. If you are struggling, but he at least sees you trying then you will get an A in his class. I am taking him again next semester!

He is a very interesting character. I love his class. We joke around a lot, but you write A LOT of papers. He always breaks down the prompts, so they are not that bad. I am taking him again for English 112. Oh and ask him how many degrees he has.
