Andre is a great writing professor. It seems like a heavy load of homework at first but they are easy one and a half page papers and then there are three big papers. Overall easy, show up and research your paper topic and you'll do well. Really funny guy as well. Take him for WRTG 121!!

I wouldn't say attendance is mandatory but being there will defiantly help you out in the long run. He does have you read the textbook and complete assignments from it about twice a week. He is a very understanding person, so if anything does come up that causes you to fall behind don't be afraid to talk to him. I truly enjoyed going to his class.

Mr. Peltier is an awesome dude! You'll actually enjoy going to his class everyday. He's funny and smart and a great conversationalist! One of the best professors at EMU! That being said the class is VERY book heavy; you have to read A LOT! If you have free time to read then this is the class for you!

I took him 4 years ago and he's a funny dude. You do have a lot of homework and you do need the book but as long as you stay on top of the homework, you'll be fine. I'll admit I slacked the last 1/4 of the semester so I fell behind a bit but that's on me and not him. He gives great feedback and wants you to pass. Take him if you can, seriously.

If I had the chance, I would take Andre again. he's an awesome professor, he shares his opinions & listens to everyone elses also. he is passionate about what he teaches and how you succeed and improve, this makes the class awesome. plenty of homework, but easy enough not to stress. the structure & expectations are portrayed well & easy to get.

Andre has the best personality, he can have a whole lecture on anything from netflix shows to world issues. Makes the classroom a friendly environment. The class itself is okay, lots of homework assignments (but only a page each) and three main papers. Definitely would take him as professor again.

Comment:

He is a great professor, and you do learn a lot from him. He knows his stuff and is passionate about literature. He's one of the more laid back professors I've had, and often gets sidetracked on nerdy topics. Not crazy work-wise, just expect to read, because there are random quizzes on books. The midterm/final are take home essays, but not too bad.

TAKE HIM. he's so nice and funny. he assigns hw almost every night, but its things that can be done in minutes. You do need the book, but its super easy to read. He makes class fun and he's very relatable. He gives plenty of extra credit chances but you most likely won't need it. He knows how to teach and helps a lot with becoming a better writer.

He may be easily distracted; however, he is easy to talk to, funny, and the class is pretty lax.

He gave me great advice and I really enjoyed being in his class. He really helped me improve as a writer and somewhat enjoy writing, which I hated before. He gives a lot of assignments but they are pretty easy. Overall he is very fair when it comes to assignments and makes sure you improve on your skills.

Andre is a great professor if you love reading one book or several short stories a week. For people who don't like to read a whole lot, avoid his class, because the reading load is ridiculous. Gives 11 pop quizzes, but they're super easy. You also have 2 analysis papers, on research paper, and take home essays for the midterm & final exam.

Andre made class very enjoyable. The information he presents helps you to be successful in writing college papers. He's funny and easy going. As long as you do all the assignments on time you will have no problem getting a good grade.

Comment:

Peltier is a fun guy. He's very personable. We read 10 novels and 4 short stories in the semester. You will be tested on the entire short story and the first of the novels. I would read the first half and then just read chapter summaries of the last half. Hes not the clearest in what he expects from the writing, but asking in office hours will work

Comment:

I wouldn't reccomend. He goes off topic a lot and pretty much likes to hear himself talk. He's not very clear on his assignments and typically only talks about them once. It takes him forever to grade one assignment. There's quizzes almost every class.

He is a really laid back teacher in my opinion. Maybe it is just my own sense of humor but I laugh at least once every time I go to that class. I thought he was going to be mean on the first day just by his appearance but he is actually very kind and easy-going. Don't skip the homeworks, journals, or the 3 big papers. Easy-A class.

It's an easy A if you do all of the assignments. However, the homework in this class alone took up all of my free time. We had one and a half page papers due pretty much every class period with journals every week on top of that. He's a cool professor though! Nice and easy to get along with.
