Comment:

Professor Deaver is a truly kind, and caring teacher. If you enjoy creative writing his classes can be a breeze for you! He reached out to me when my attendance was dropping due to personal issues, and always gave praise where praise was due to each student. He is a fatherly figure with a lot of creative juice and helpful stories and suggestions.

Comment:

I've taken 2 writing classes with Phil Deaver. He's very enthusiastic about writing and he really knows his stuff. Most authors who have accomplished as much as he has are hard to deal with, but he's kind and warm and wants to help everyone. Just show up with a smile, do the work, and you'll do very well in his class.

Comment:

Phil Deaver is an amazing professor. His class is never stressful if you DO THE WORK! He leaves it up to you but keeps you informed of what the plan is. We didn't use the book much for this, because the writing took over. I wish he taught more classes though.

Comment:

He's a great teacher and really easy to talk to. He does tend to repeat the same stories, but they're pretty good ones. We used the text book probably 3 or so times, not sure if it was worth picking up. If you're not concerned with grading, he's fine. If you are, you'll have some trouble adjusting to not knowing where you stand grade wise.

Comment:

If you love to hear the same pointless story over and over again then Deaver's the teacher for you. He's completely disorganized, snappy when you ask for help, and he'll fail you if you question his grading. His class is easy, so long as you don't care about learning or becoming a better writter. Skip so you won't hear the same stories too much.

Comment:

Deaver is so cool. His class is easy, his stories are fun, he lets you write about drive bys and his stories are interesting. Plus there is not that much reading. Sometimes he is a little boring, but all in all he is a pretty cool guy.

He's warm, has a somewhat Beat vibe about him. He makes an effort to get to know everyone, and knows what he's talking about without being pretentious. How can you not like Deaver?

You have to appreciate a prof who starts the first class with a story about getting arrested. His writing classes were my absolute favorite. And he has the sexiest eyes.
