Comment:

He's an amazing old professor who can go on a tangent about anything. He assigns many little assignments, but practically only grades your citations. His multiple choice on his quizzes spell out a phrase. You have to do a lot of tedious work, but it's still a chill class that's an easy A so long as you do it. Annoying poster, debate, and others tho

Comment:

Such a sweet man & a fair grader. Gives tons of little assignments which do get annoying, but as long as you do all of your work you'll get an easy A. Extremely nice and can go on for hours about anything - usually ends class early towards the end of the semester. Do your research for your final paper all throughout the semester because it's A LOT!

Comment:

Oh, Esche! This poor sweet man can talk for hours on end about basically anything, but he's a good guy. Grade wise you will do fine, he is definitely not a tough grader and cares more about your work cited than anything else. He gives a bunch of tiny annoying assignments each week, that is easy to do. The quizzes easy. Save $9, don't buy the book.

Comment:

He's an old man who gets off topic easily. The material we learned wasn't necessary and I didn't really learn much. He gives a lot of homework and papers, but if you go to his office hours he's willing to help and is a nice man. His tests are random, he'll include map questions and even math questions to throw you off but take notes on everything.

Does not clarify the work that he puts out and always goes off topic. Talks down to his students like they're dumb and expects everybody to be on the same page without putting concrete guidelines on paper or online. Do not

Comment:

He is a very good person, but as a teacher he could be more straight forward about what he wants from the students. Also, he gives about 3-4 assignments a week; sometimes they are small, but students have other classes to worry about as well. There is a 10-12 page essay and debates toward the end of the semester. This is the most confusing time.

Comment:

Only take him if you dont want to go to class. You can skip class and as long as you have somones number in the class youll be fine. He has 3 quizes and gives out a lot of work. 10-12 page final paper + debate. Most hum 102 classes only have a 7-9 page paper. Talks way too much and always gets off topic. Assignment due every week Do not take him.

Comment:

Boring teacher who refers very little to text book. His quizzes and exams are tough but the quizzes match up fairly well with the exams so you'll be good if you study up on those. Not much direction on papers but they're really long. But he will help you thoroughly if you seek it and his quizzes have small twists in them so you should do fine.

This guy loves the subjects he teaches. He will come to campus on his off day to help you. Said that, since he loves the subject... he will give TONS of work and he doesn't mind working hard. DON'T TAKE HIS CLASS IF YOU WANT EASY GRADE.

Comment:

I thought NJIT english was supposed to be a joke... but its not. That being said, it's still not hard, but definitely not effortless. If you do all your assignments & readings there's no reason not to get an A or B. He's kind of boring, but definitely fair.

Comment:

His work isn't hard, it's just A LOT. It seems like he thinks he's the only class we have. Takes his class way too seriously. Quizzes are ridiculous and are on random knowledge, but not too hard. He rambled the entire class about literally nothing then assigned a paper, sometimes two.. every class..

He thinks that you are only taking his class during the semester. Very hard grader and gives too much work. The quiz is relatively easy although the two papers are a lot of unnecessary work.
