Pop quizzes almost everyday. Read all the material. The professor is very nice, but he grades very hard. There a lot of papers. He doesn't give you a lot of time to write.I got low A's on all my papers and got an A- (NOT FAIR). Work hard and READ. You can pass the class with a B+ and higher. The tutor was very helpful that they offered for 1PA.

Amazing professor! Hes really helpful especially if you go to his office hours. He really wants to see his students succeed. He focuses on the 3 essays the entire quarter and theres random quizzes on the reading but overall, its not a hard class. Plus hes really funny.

Great professor. Main focus are on the three essays and three books. Very helpful during office hours and very open to different ideas on the essays. I had an exceptionally quiet class so him asking questions and trying to start a discussion felt forced and awkward. Get the pdfs of the first two books and buy the third (you need it for the final).

Comment:
Albert does a great job of teaching English 1A. He has three essays spread throughout the quarter, each he spends a fair amount of time giving you information on writing the paper and actually writing it. He definitely is a tough grader and to get an A in this class you have to work exceptionally hard. Nice person, tough professor.

Firstly, this guy is hilarious. His sense of humor made the class somewhat fun and interesting. He also is very helpful with understanding the readings and improving your writing. There are short pop quizzes so it's imperative to do the readings and come to class; with that you'll do fine in the class.

Toughest class I took, I worked so hard and got an A-. Papers are so long and require a lot of concentration and effort. He gives amazing advice and is willing to speak with you in office hours as long as you need. To some, his lectures are boring but interesting to those who like discussingdebating relevant issues on life. Again very tough grader

Go to his office hours! He is willing to help if you make the effort. Although his lectures can get boring at times, he explains everything well. Do well on the essays because it pretty much determines whether or not you pass.

Tough grader. Very rare to get an A on an essay. Each essay is 6 pages long. Wastes a lot of class time talking about irrelevant things and making "sarcastic" comments that I didn't find too hilarious.

Comment:
Figured he would be just another boring english prof. I was wrong. We read three novels throughout the quarter that related (some more than others) to the three types of papers we wrote: a remembered event essay, a profile, and a concept explanation essay; each of which were about 6/7 pages long.Funny guy, knows what he is talking about.

Comment:
He takes role, gives a quiz(every other class session) and lectures most of the time which could get boring. extremely sarcastic when he is asked a dumb question. His lectures dont really help with the essays you write. Allows some rewrites but generally he grades chill. Read the Books!

Talks most of the time during class. Boring for some students, but interesting for others, depending on who you are. If you go to office hours, he's not going to fix your essay by writing comments. HE'LL TELL YOU WHAT YOU NEED, SO YOU'LL HAVE TO FIX IT ON YOUR OWN. It's tough, but I think that's the best way for you to learn the material.

Albert is an excellent professor. It is evident that he spends a lot of time writing comments on essays. Show him your essay during office hours. That will really boost your grade. My essay writing really improved after taking his class.

He grades really hard on essays! Class was boring. He doesn't seem very approachable and assigns too much reading. Don't bother turning in late papers bcuz he takes 50% off so you'll get a fail anyway.
