Comment:

The class is all workshop with no book. I got 100s on most critiques. However, the grade is weighted. You write one paper in this class, and it counts as 30% for the first draft and 30% for the final draft. He is a tough grader on these papers. I'm a senior CRW major and this was not easy. I didn't learn anything in the class, and hard to get an A.

Comment:

I adore this professor. He gives good feedback without sounding condescending or making you feel bad about your writing. He actually makes you feel great about your writing even if he's correcting it. I have him for CRW 3610 as well, and it's been such an easy semester taking two workshops with him! He's an easy grader as well.

Comment:

Easily one of the best professors I've had in my four years of college. He has the ability to give you constructive criticism without making you feel awful about your writing and is more than willing to help. He keeps class funny and is highly respectable. I'd recommend taking any class taught by him.

Best class I've taken online hands down. What I loved about this class is that you had the freedom to write anything and express yourself within his guidelines. He gave feedback each week on the material, and was a fair grader. I took the class 6 weeks and got an A! Just pay attention, and do the assignments, and youll get an A!

Comment:

This was an interesting class. Although creative writing for non-majors, it simply focused on screenplays. No textbook, just 4 movies were reviewed. Very minimal writing. You get A's if you follow guidelines and hit deadlines. Barely interacted with Telep - most emails/updates/grades came from his TA Dianne Richardson. Easy class; still learned!

This review is for the online Scriptwriting class, CRW 3610. I've never done any scriptwriting, but now that I've takent his class, I love it. Prof. Telep was an excellent teacher. He responds quickly to emails and is always available for help. I have already signed up for Advanced Scriptwriting. Highly recommended!

Great class - watch 4 movies, take 4 tests on them - participate in discussions every week (3 postings) and you can call it a day. Very smart and witty professor.

Funny, helpful and constructive: is there anything else you could ask for in a professor? He gave me pretty good feedback and he was very clear about his expectations for the class.

The best online class I have ever taken, and the only one thus far that has left me thoroughly satisfied. Telep's feedback was always constructive and encouraging, and all of his expectations are straightforward and clear. I really learned in this class. Excellent professor, can't wait to take him again.

Comment:

This was a college class? Took it online and it was the best thing I did, since I was working full time and taking an otherwise difficult coarse load. Easy, easy, easy A, good GPA padder if you need one. All we did was watch four films, quiz on each one, and short discussion each week. No actual writing. 30 minutes a week of work, tops, plus films.

Perfect Creative Writing professor. Subjective yet has expectations. Assignments consisted of doing one activity a week and reviewing it in a group. Very funny and gives great feedback. Accessible and easy to work with. Definitely recommended. I'm taking him again.

A challenging class, but fair. Mr. Telep kept us on our toes. Really funny and great use of humor to keep the class fresh. I really liked the format it was taught with another instructor. Oh and nice tight buns on this one.

Excellent. I have taken a few writing classes and it often seems that writing is an extracricular activity. Not so with Mr. Telep he directs you to your fiction and that is where your main efforts are directed. Highly recommened.

Took Prof. Telep online, and was thoroughly impressed. The arrangement and utilization of the WebCT layout was great, and the course objectives were clear and effectively pursued. I found the class easy because I did my work, but I can't speak for everyone. I thought Prof. Telep made great use of WebCT for a workshop class, which isn't easy to do

Comment:

Fun guy, a bit egotistical. The textbook was horrible and he used it as a bible. Groupwork up the butt in this class. Groups present chapters, which I would've preferred him to do. Gets upset pretty easily (immature). Don't write profane things. Don't know how he grades really. Dunno what my grade is and it's the last month of the semester.

Telep is awesome, I was dreading comp 2 until I walked into his class. It was reduced time w/ no online component. He gets right to the point and is very clear on everything, one of my favorite classes and I hate English. If you get a chance to take Telep, do it.
