he takes marks off of every grammar mistake that you make. He basically only likes you if you show up to class, miss a class he announces it in-front of the entire class and embarrasses you. Even for quizzes he takes marks off for dumb stuf. he's aight when it comes to funny catch him outside before class after his office hours he won't even look u

THOSE of you taking his class- he's not a hard teacher if you come to class and put time and effort into the assignments you will do fine. The people saying he isn't a good instructor or is a hard marker, they a) didn't go to class or b) didn't take the time to get help.

Comment:

A horrible teacher. For example, his marking system is incomprehensible, subtracting marks for each grammatical mistake and not caring at all about how well written your work is. Also incredibly boring and although he seems nice at first your marks will be a surprise...

Comment:

WORST PROFESSOR EVER. Francis was only with us for half a semester because he mysteriously left our class, now we have a different more understandable and interesting prof. He screwed up our whole timetable which had to be redone by our new prof. He was a extremely difficult marker and always came in 20 minutes late. A very irresponsible man.

Professor Alebe is extremely enthusiastic & helpful.His assignments are very specific but if you follow his outline you will do great-go in for help though, have him edit your essays & go to class as he does attendance.This is a CRITICAL writing class so dont go in with any worldchanging ides; he's teaching you how 2 write critically not creatively

Comment:

The best professor I had at Grant MacEwan. Listen, if you want a free ride through school and have no interest in learning English, drop the class. Yes 12 of the 30 people who took his class failed or dropped it, but he will prepare you for the rest of your university career. His instruction made law school exponentially easier (LLB 08). A+

Comment:

He is probably the dumbest person i have ever met. If he doesn't like you he will fail you. If you have a question don't even bother asking cause he won't answer you. Worst class i have ever been in. Having to go to class is like a near death experience

He is a very bad teacher. He doesn;t understand that we are 18 or older not 2 and he can talk to us like adults.

Comment:

This is probably the worst class I have ever had. He is rude and condescending. You are not allowed to raise your hand in class while he is talking to ask a question. Unable to understand what it is he wants from you on an assignment. If you can, find another class!!

Comment:

Wow. I have never hated a class so much. He definitly picks favorites. If you dont go to his class he will mark you low. Has one view of writing and if you don't write his way you fail. Which is ironic considering its a CREATIVE WRITING CLASS. I try in his class, i've gone for assistance, I'm still failing. So avoid this class if possible!!

Comment:

Drop this prof if you have him. Easy to understand in class-- or so you think, until you get terrible marks for 'not following my instructions'. If you try to clarify those instructions, you will find that he cannot make himself clear enough to help your mark. Picks his favorites in class and marks them high; everyone else gets the shaft. DROP HIM.

Comment:

Yes, he is a hard marker. However, if you listen in class, do your homework, and go to him for help on your essays then your writing will improve dramatically. He will support views other than his own if they are supported with evidence from the work in question, but don't try to talk psychology about characters; use specifics from the book!

Comment:

Once he has reason to grudge against you he will. No matter how much attention I paid in class or effort I put in to assigments I would not do well. Hard marker, hard to understand, and hard to argue your points with him. He told us to not eat vegetables or fruits in his classes because they wont help us pay attention, we were all phys ed students.

Comment:

Very funny and entertaining. Hard marker, but willing to help, and don't listen to the people who say he doesn't support other views of topics. It's just that he only supports views that are themselves supported by evidence. If you try in his class you will learn a lot and your essay writing abilities will soar.
