Sadly he had to leave our class at the beginning of the semester but I really enjoyed the time we spent with him. Great challenger of ideas and reminder that the world has so many perspectives that need to be respected. I long the discussions we couldn't have.

Very good professor and a good man. Has a good approach to the course and to life. I enjoyed every moment I shared with him in class though it was for a short period of time. But he is or if not the best in the game!

Comment:

Mr Joyner was a great professor, he is also a funny professor who is very understanding and will help you out as much as he can when you ask, lots of readings in his class with quizzes on them but they are short and clear. tough grader, you have to try really hard to get a good grade on the papers.

He is a fair grader and will write references to the LB Brief and MLA Handbook next to mistakes you make in your writing and citations. The class discussions make you think. His goal is to make his students critical thinkers. He incorporates psychology into a lot of the discussions as well. It's a fun class!

He is well knowledgeable about the readings and will have open class discussions about the reading. On papers he lets you know where you went wrong on them and tells you weather or not it was a well organized paper or not.

Mr. Joyner is a very interesting guy. The conversations in class are never boring, he always asks really good questions to make you think. He is very straight forward with what he expects from you and the entire class for the semester. He gives you all the keys you need to be successful in his class, you just need to apply yourself and do the work

Comment:

His class was extremely interesting and his discussions about important topics like the drug problem and feminism made the class thing outside the box. However when it comes to grading he is very tough. He expects ALOT out of the research papers and does not drop any grades. one quiz grade caused me to get a B in the class when i was 1 point from A

Mr. Joyner is a really good English professor. He grades the paper as a whole rather than taking off little points for mistakes. He is a fair grader and you will get the grade that you deserve. If you utilize the real Center, you should do fine in the course.

Prof. Joyner is a good and fair instructor. He has good lectures and discussions. You will learn a lot from him in class. But when it comes to papers make sure you go to the ILC Writing center or REAL center before you turn it in. Just read your assigments and ask questions and you will be fine

Comment:

Mr. Joyner is far superior to any other wake tech teacher I've had. Most days we spend in deed discussion on a variety of topics. However, if you are strong in opinions based on politics and/or religion you may have a hard time stepping back from your opinion and looking at these matter critically. Overall this class gets a 10/10. Would take again.

Comment:

M. Joyner is up at 8:00 a.m. He will keep you focused and participating. He knows the MLA 7 Handbook and he reading MLA 8 as we speak. He only grades bad if the paper is bad, he gives extra credit for going to the ILC or the Reel Center for help. If you're willing to do the work he will help you. He is a straight shooter when it comes to grades.

Comment:

His class is refreshing compared to a lot of professors at Wake Tech. Even though I didn't receive an excellent grade in his class, I learned a lot. I will be taking his class for British literature. BEWARE, he is not the kind of professor that you can get away with doing your research and writing for your essay a week before it's due. DO THE WORK

Mr. Joyner is a great professor who uses a holistic style of grading. His style of teaching, the application of critical thinking, is exactly what college is all about. Lecture topics are very informative and fun. Essay's are argumentative, and topics are chosen by the individual. You will not find a better ENG professor than Joyner, hands down.

Professor Joyner is a great guy. Highly recommend him for any english course you take. He is clear with his lectures, he gives quizzes but they are super easy if you do the readings he assigns. He is a really tough paper grader, the only way to get an A on his papers is to take it to ILC and READ centers, that is the only way. Great teacher, 10/10

Comment:

He's a good teacher, he really knows the material and definitely has his idea about what they are talking about. He will allow conversation and discussion and if you have an opinion about the works he lets you express it. All in all he's a great teacher but you better read the works and pay attention or the papers will hurt you.
