He is the best teacher ever! Trust me, if you want to learn English and survive in college, take his class. He may give you many homework, but you will appreciate it later on when you take non-GE class which is way harder than you imagine. So take his class and learn basic English to prepare for the rest of your prerequisites.

Great teacher for ESL. Take him. Not an easy class, but it is not too hard for you to achieve A or B. This is a college level, if you can not handle hard work then you have to go back to high school level. He is a very dedicated teacher and funny at the same time. You will really enjoy this class. No need text books, he'll provide every materials.

I agree that he's one of the best ESL teachers. Attending his class means practicing grammar first, then writing papers. He says, "I don't like grammar; I LOVE it." Thanks for your help with grammar and writing that I got an A in my English 120. Miss you Chuck, and I still owe you the copy of my portfolio.

He was OKAY. the thing that i loves from him is he always willing to discuss his student papers face to face. he will help us correct our papers and give us some time to rewrite our papers to be better papers.

Comment:

His class is not easy at all.It's boring and his jokes are annoying.He a good guy and a very nice person,but i didn't learn anything good from his class.It was hard to pass tests,because he doesn't take too much time to review materials.His tests sensless,and it looks more like a lottery ticket than a college test.Too much guessing.)Chuck rocks,but
