Comment:

Gives stupid topics to write about, but they are pretty easy. He seems mean, but he is just sarcastic and likes things his way. He only gives like 4 or 5 two page papers and a 5-7 page research paper. Pretty easy grader, just be in class. You don't really need to do the readings but make sure you have the textbook.

He is entirely too strict and tedious about homework, but he gives you a few days too complete the assignments. He lets you out of class early, but word to the wise he has assinged seating.

Comment:

Great Prof. Easy class to get thru, lets you out early. Anal at times but your writing improves dramatically. Do your assignments and final paper. He will give u an a-. No one gets an a but no one is perfect. Drinks not allowed in class, yet he is allowed to sprawl his legs all over his desk...

Comment:

Hard grader. Very full of himself. Wrote the book which is full of mistakes, yet loves to blasts you on your mistakes. Have to be on time or you have to stand outside and he decides if he will let you in. Only 4 absents of will drop you.

This guy has a serious problem. He is so anal about every little thing. The highest he gives is a 90. It pains him to give an A but it is possible.

Comment:

Not a bad guy...seem mean at first, but not so bad after the first few classes. Very tough grader, but no exams whatsoever. This is someone who can pick out your smallest mistakes on your papers and penalize you for it, but really improves writing skills.
