Mr. Padgett is probably the best English professor I've ever had. He's so funny and easy going, definitely should be a top choice for any English class takers.

Two teachers taught the class, they were very funny but hard graders. Also, they never updated blackboard so we had no clue what our grade was throughout the semester

Comment:

If you read the stories and poems you'll be golden for class participation. 3 Essays and 1 being your final research paper. NO FINAL! Quality matters in your writing and essays. You must show up to class to pass but he made class fun to get involved. Never a dull moment the whole semester. BEST professor I've taken at Harper so far.

Very good professor, grades a tad rough but makes it up through an enjoyable class. He is also extremely comical and is very good at critiquing your work.

Comment:

For English 102 he had us do 3 essays. The first two were 2 pages MAXIMUM. Then the third was a 10 page research paper. Those are the only 3 grades for the semester but he is a pretty easy going grader. He is very sarcastic in his humor and tries to make the class interesting/enjoyable which works.

Padgett's a laid back guy. Make sure you read the stories because questions on them will come up on the mid term. Sucks at replying to emails.

Padgett's class was really enjoyable! Participation is part of the grade, but he makes the discussions easy to jump into. He himself is pretty funny and treats his students like people. He does take a bit to grade and hand things back, though.

Comment:

Professor gives you little to NO feedback on any online assignments. Takes 4-5 weeks to get your essays graded and is a very harsh grader. Not present at all to help out. You never know what you can improve on between essays because your lucky to get 1 graded before the next one is due. Would NOT recommend this online class or professor.

Comment:

Chris was chill. i didn't read most of the time and he didn't care. kind of a tough grader. final isn't that hard as long as you read. I bs some parts on the test and still did good. Some is just logic. first part of the exam, you have to recognize quote and remember the story and author. pay close attention quotes he talks about in class

Comment:

He is a very understanding teacher that is willing to help any of students. The down side of the teacher though is due to very few assignments grades a heavily weighed and don't expect your papers back for at 2 weeks or longer

Chris is a great professor. He's knowledgeable, fun, and approachable. He's super laid back, but don't expect to just show up and pass. Be prepared to read; there's not *too* much, but it's important that you do the little bit he does assign. He's a very fair, almost perhaps charitable, grader, and if you ask for help he's got your back. 10/10 A+

Comment:

I wanted to rate "helpfulness" as a 3 because as an online course, he was not engaged in discussion boards. But from our on-campus orientation, he seemed like a very approachable (very likeable) professor that would be open and willing to discuss any questions. I only rated him a 3 on easiness because rating him a 4 would suggest it was an easy A.

I found that his class was a bit challenging. He expects you to know a lot of background information. Nonetheless he is very helpful if you reach out to him.

Comment:

Great professor. You do have a read quite a bit, but he makes you laugh a lot along the way with everything you read. Nothing you read is really "boring" so it isn't even a problem. Expect 3 papers and 1 test. ( 2 -2 page papers) (1 mid term vocab exam) (1 10-page paper)

Chris was a great professor. Participate, show up, you'll be fine. No it is not a "blow off class" but he makes it as interesting as possible and does not expect too much of students.

I took English 101 & 102 with Padgett because he is the funniest most laid back teacher in the world. Very easy grader but if he doesn't really know you, you won't get the best grade so make sure to participate. Doesn't get mad if you don't do the homework. He's one of those teachers I'll always remember when i graduate.

Comment:

I just finished this class and it was kind of disappointing in how easy it was. Going to class seemed like a waste of time because no-one in the class talked .... it's a discussion based class! He's a super slow grader and I'm not even convinced he read our papers in the end anyway. 3 easy papers, a mid-term, and the final research paper.
