Comment:
I hate saying bad things about profs but Tim is just not a good prof. He has a great heart and likes to joke but in all the classes, lectures, papers, and projects I felt I learnt nothing. If you want an easy class take it but if you want to actually put your money to good use take another class.

Tim makes a very boring class, Engl 100, interesting. I didn't buy the textbook and survived, but having it would be helpful. He's great at answering questions and throws in some good jokes from time to time.

Tim is such a great professor. He truly loves literature and made english a tolerable class. Even though I strongly dislike english, his classes were the only ones enjoyed and looked forward to. I highly recommend taking one of Tims class, it was a fun and great experience!

Tim is a really nice, and funny guy. He makes class entertaining, and He will help you when you ask and always answers emails. However, he is a hard marker, very picky when it comes to essay's. Also the novel choices aren't that great, quite boring actually.

This guy is awesome. He makes grammar and essay writing skills interesting. He's funny, and goes off on tangents a lot, but the random stories always end up having a relevant point. He's super helpful and a really nice, forgiving guy. Marks fairly.

He is nice and cool like people say here, but he is definitely not a easy teacher. There are so many little things for grade. I receive B+ average in three assignments but received C for the course. If you want to learn how to write a good essay, he might be a good prof, but if you want to get good grade, he might not be one.

Tim was a pretty good teacher. I wouldn't say that he has the most interesting course material, and I think this class is pretty slack compared to the fact that he is a hard marker. This class focused a LOT on theory, but he is a nice, helpful guy. I'd recommend him to someone who needs to fulfill their english credits.

I don't know how this teacher got such high ratings. I took his class because of rate my prof and it is the first class I've ever considered dropping, and I've done 12 classes at Cap so far. He rambles non stop, makes no sense (and I'm at Cap on an english lit scholarship) and puts me to sleep even after 2 cups of coffee. I recommend Kent Lewis!

Tim is a fabulous teacher, super funny, kinda random. English is usually painful class for me, but all his classes were entertaining =) Watch out for grammar quizzes, they come often. Learning MLA is super tedious and annoying, but Tim makes it a bit less painful. Also, no final exam for ENGL100, which is awesome!

Good teacher, with clear expectations and reasonable marking criteria. Encourages discourse and is himself funny in a low energy sweater-vest sort of way. Like Mr. Rogers with a glint in his eye and a predilection for Spongebob. People complaining about his lack of zest and energy probably like Carrot Top and Dane Cook.
