Comment:

Mr. Hardee is a VERY smart and interesting professor. His class is all lecture, but if you pay attention you'll learn a ton, and get to hear his great stories. You really need to attend all of the classes, because the tests are based around what we talk about in class. This class is assignment heavy, so you can boost your grade. Extra Credit ops.

Comment:

I took Hardee for comp 1, although he seems like a decent guy the class is impossible to receive an A. Toughest grader and does not help when you ask questions. If you go to his office hours e will question why you are even there in the first place. His class is irrelevant to the essays we have to write. Take another professor for comp!

Comment:

Hardee is an excellent professor. There's usually an assignment with every class period, but it's never too much to handle. Yes you do write papers, but Hardee spreads it all out so you work on an outline one day, then sources the next and so on. And he lets you revise almost every assignment so you can make corrections and ask questions, he helps!

If you are in anyway religious do not take his class. He is very opinionated even when he doesn't try to be. He assigns papers at the end of the semester and he grades them hard. He also grades homework extremely hard.

Comment:

He is probably the toughest assignment grader I've ever had. It's almost impossible to get an A on the assignments due to how picky he is. He rambles on and on a lot during his lectures so don't daze off for even a second because you might be lost for the rest of the class. He is a lot of help when you ask and is usually a very polite man

He's awesome point blank,at the beginning of each class we would watch some kind of video. Mostly Hispanic music videos because he once lived in Mexico. He's very understanding and Grades kind of hard but now I will not take an English class if he isn't teaching!

Comment:

If you're looking for an easy A, don't take Hardee. We had a homework assignment due almost every day. He grades his homework papers very difficult and there is no way to get an A on them. His class definitely makes you think, but he likes to ramble on. His tests are very confusing and are difficult to study for.

Amazing teacher! I had health issues all semester which attributed to my low grade but Hardee was very helpful and attentive. He's super creative and hilarious. Go to class and read all material and the class will be a breeze. He has test reviews that are optional before every test and study guides on ecompanion. everything is interesting!

He is my favorite teacher at Northwest. His class was very entertaining. He is super nice, super helpful, & he shows video clips at the start of every class. He is really easy if you pay attnetion in class and take advantage of all the writing tools he supplies. I would recommend him to anyone.

Comment:

He is a great teacher. He has a different sense of humor, but it is comical. He is goofy in a cute, quirky way. He is very passionate about what he teaches. His review sessions are extremely helpful. If you pay attention to his lectures it is easy to pass the class. Work is required in this class, but it is interesting what he teaches.

Best teacher by far. Don't listen to anyone who says you should not take him! He is very helpful and makes english, a class that is typically boring, a very fun class. I plan on taking him for another class. I wouldn't say the class was easy but it wasn't impossible either. He is very funny and a great teacher at Northwest.

Comment:

He is a very strange man, and tends to push his opinions on his students. He gives homework every day that reminds me of homework I was given in 8th grade (busy work now). Sometimes we would read, and do homework for something that we wouldn't discuss until two weeks later and test 2 tests later.

Comment:

Awesome teacher. Very kooky, but it makes things very interesting. Willing to hear others opinions and very patient. Gives reviews before every test and basically tells you the answers. Many homework assignments, but as long as you take time on them you'll get a good grade. Highly recommend.

Comment:

He's a bit kooky but it can be endearing. Rambles a lot, but very friendly and tries to explain the lit in ways students can relate to. Tests are often long with many short answer questions. Expects detailed answers so make sure you've taken Eng 111/112. Overall, helpful and knowledgable.

Comment:

His lectures are far from interesting and often are over material we did homework for weeks before. His review sessions help for the test, but not a ton. Basically, if you can learn quantity over quality on your papers and homework, and even tests, you should be fine. But, I would never recommend this professor to anyone.

Comment:

I enjoy reading, but he grades homework before we go over it in class. Have hw everyday and it is 30 percent of your grade so even if you do well on the tests it can severely hurt you, which isn't right. His test reviews are very helpful. Overall weird awkward and ridiculous. I don't recommend him at all. Have 2 huge papers due @ the end of the sem
