Comment:

Professor Grant does a great job keeping English simple. If you're in sciences or struggle with English, I highly recommend Professor Grant. He helps you write better, specifically in academic writing that you can apply. Also, I skipped like sooo many classes and it hardly affected me. Class can be boring, but it is pretty insightful.

Comment:

I was worried at first in this class with the number of books we were going to read, but each book was amazing! Dr. Grant is passionate about the texts and his knowledge of them is extensive and impressive. He takes the time to know your name which shows he respects his students, he respects you and your ideas and opinions. Definitely recommend him

Comment:

Dr Grant is a fantastic prof. He is very down-to-earth and kind, making him exceptionally approachable. His lectures are interesting, and this course in particular was enjoyable. There is a lot of reading involved, so in order to participate in class, you need to do the readings. He is always willing to help where you need, and his grading is fair.

Comment:

It is a literature course, so you just read what he tells you and then the class discusses it. In other words, it is pretty boring and seems like a waste of time, but since English is necessary, David was a fantastic choice because he genuinely cares about his students. He marks leniently, so if writing isn't your strong suit, I'd recommend him!

It seems like he often has no idea what he is talking about. He wastes class time. He does not teach much at all. There are 2 papers; he is not a super difficult marker. This class is a waste of time

Comment:

He doesn't really lecture, he just wastes half the class writing things on the white board and then putting us in groups to discuss said things. He does not always seem to have a coherent train of thought and I often wonder how he got a PhD

If you struggle in English or simply don't enjoy it, take David. He's really caring and wants you to learn. Math and chemistry double major, never was good at English, averaged 70% in high school, David actually made this class interesting and made me a better reader/writer. Received A-.

I have a hard time in English already and was told to take it with David because he is an easy marker, which he is but he DOESN'T explain anything. I was confused the entire semester and had no clue what I was supposed to do. He will call on you in class discussions but won't take the answer idk. Would not recommend for anyone who struggles in ENGL

Comment:

Pretty much the quintessential English Prof. He loves what he teaches, although he does sound monotone. You have to do that readings or you'll have no reason to be in class. He loves people's feedback and lets students lead the discussion on what they find interesting. Average workload. Decent tests. He's very shy, but get him 1 on 1, he's great!

While not quite what I expected I did enjoy this class. he readings are very manageable, and all textbooks are easily available. He knows his stuff and genuinely enjoys hearing your opinion! Confusing grading system, couldn't (not wouldn't) clarify his feedback when asked, which wasn't helpful. But easy tests. READ EVERYTHING, and you're golden.

The lectures are very fun and he passes on the clear feedback on all assignments. I wish people contributed more in class discussions because he has a lot of great things to say.
