Phil is really interesting and gets you thinking. Activities to work your brain and discussion to share ideas (and sometimes, debate). I increasingly grew tired of the group activities but other than that, he has achievable expectations and wants his students to learn. Definitely read or at least pay attention to what he says bc it matters!

I took his English 100 class and thought he was fantastic, he was a bit tough of a grader but once I worked a bit harder on my paper and followed his instructions, my essay grades went up. I liked him so much i took him again for his Eng 103 class, solid teacher but get ready to work, no free rides

Professor Mayfield is a really nice man. He tells a lot of good stories and ties them into his lectures. He offers a lot of extra credit. And you learn one of your greatest lessons in college writing from him, to conform to your audience. There are 6 essays and he lets you drop your lowest essay grade. Only complaint is a lot of group work.

Professor Mayfield is one of the best professors I've taken so far. He's so funny and gives random facts. He also gives easy and fun extra credit! Like he'll ask you to look up something on your phone. He lets us get out early sometimes. Honestly, he makes me want to be an English major. Highly recommend him! I'm taking him for English 103!

The professor is good at answering all your questions or concerns. Mr. Mayfield is very nice and clear with the class concept. Also, the group quizzes occur daily and they are worth between 4-6 points. Which it is okay to miss one day. He is also quite humorous at times.

Professor Mayfield is an excellent professor. He keeps the class engaged and wide awake! Lots of group work that can't be made up so be sure to show up to class. Grading criteria is clear and easy grader. Literary terms quiz work 20 points and 4 essays so study. Put in the effort and you'll pass with a B or higher.

If you're an English major and like working with groups very often then you'll like this class. He is a really good professor who will actually teach you something after you finish taking this class. His class is not that hard as long as you do the work, show up, and turn in the essays. Other than that I would recommend him.

Professor Mayfield is the best!! I took him for English 100 and English 103 and never regretted my choice. He explains topics very clearly. He is very interactive with his students and enjoys when the class interacts with him back. Very helpful with assignments and answers emails quickly. Sit in the front :) and ask him about Mantis Shrimp.

The best English teacher ever. He is incredibly intelligent and makes class interesting. You really learn a lot. There is a lot of group work in class so you can't make it up. Never takes attendance but almost no one ever missed class. I would take him every semester if I can. Because of his class I added English as my second major.

Professor Mayfield is amazing. He's one of the most engaging professors I've ever had and is super intelligent. When it comes to his teaching, he always has his students thinking and there is a lot of group work. I definitely recommend him because he made English really enjoyable for me and it was a class that I would always look forward to!

Professor Mayfield is seriously a funny, great, strange man. He does not believe in the classic "lecture method" he likes to involve his students & tie into current events! Rarely had homework but had 6 major essays! LOTS OF IN CLASS GROUP QUIZES! No final or midterm. Very cool & reasonable. He can be lenient. Taking him for 103 this semester!

Honestly when I walked in Prof Mayfield's class first day of the semester, I definitely had my pre-judgements (I thought it was going to be a boring class). But he is seriously a freakin hilarious/intelligent teacher. This isn't a class you can afford to miss since he gives a ton of in-class points but he makes it fun in his own way. Great guy.

Honest opinion? I like him. Great educator. Knows a lot of random facts and stories and can recall them from the top of his head when its somewhat relevant. He's the kind of guy you want to hangout and have a drink with, in hopes he would make you smarter while you've been drinking. It's like he's fortune cookie wise with his advises on revisions.

I am being very brutally honest with you, this guy is freaking awesome. I am not a teacher's pet or anything like that. He give extra credit (a LOT of it) and is freaking hilarious. You can't miss more then 2 classes and there is a lot of in class work (especially with other people) but its cool. Its EASY POINTS! I'm taking him for my ENG 103 class

I got an A in the class, but I had to work for it. At first was very intimidating. But he's the type of professor that'll actually teach you something. There's four papers, but you're more than prepared. He has you turn in outlines and really provides feedback. He's quick to return papers. Quiz every day and class work, so you have to go to class.

He's a model professor. He's very helpful, clear, and funny. When you need help, just ask away, and he'll answer your question. As long as you pay attention in class, you are guaranteed to pass.

Doesn't like to help always has to have a better answer then the students "his right your wrong". Does not explain what he wants for essays. you only turn in the final draft no rough drafts. I would not take him!!
