Dan was the best! He was chill with the due dates. Our class negotiated deadlines with him and details about assignments too. He was approachable and easy to talk to. Plus, he gave good and clear feedback. I wouldn't say he's a tough grader, but definitely fair. He made his class fun and often made jokes.

He really cares about helping the students learn and he'll make you participate sometimes, but it's helpful in my opinion. He's funny and understanding if you need to turn something in late. A great professor.

Took him online for ENG102, there was a ton of homework, he takes a long time to respond to emails, he grades a bit harshly. I'd recommend to take him in class, not online.

He responds well to emails, so that's pretty good. He doesn't offer any detailed feedback at all, which for 102 is very unfortunate.

Hurley is a great professor. Hes laid back but expects you to put in the effort. Hes very nice when it comes to turning something in late, as long as you have a valid excuse and let him know ahead of time. Just be prepared as he really likes sharing students work. Although its not terrible because hes a nice critic. Recommend for ENG101!

Overall, Hurley is a very good instructor. He is humorous and is thorough of what is expected in the three essays. He can be very flexible with due dates; he gives students an extra day or so to turn in an assignment.

Loved Prof. Hurley, he was great! Enjoyed every bit of English 102 because of him and the theme (The Detective in American Fiction & Film). Watched quite a handful of detective films and also the show Law & Order:SVU. He breaks down the research paper into smaller portions, which makes the work load much easier at the end of the qtr.

He's silly, says some funny stories, good person. The class was fairly easy, not much stress if you don't procrastinate. Makes everything seem simple. I would highly recommend.

He's a good guy. Grading is fair and the workload is manageable. If you did good in your high school English you'll be fine here. This was a really nice English 101 class and I would recommend it. Probably knocks you a couple points if you miss a ton of class but I can't remember it being that bad.

He is a really helpful teacher and is willing to help you if you have any question. I usually make an appointment with him if I have questions about the assignments. But he is a slow grader for some assignments. He grades them after the quarter ends so for some assignments, I made same mistakes again and again because I never knew what I did wrong.

Mr. Hurley is a really great teacher. He is able to pinpoint where people struggle and respectfully explain how they can improve their writing. He likes to show student work in class and discuss the good and not-as-good parts of student work which is really helpful. He's also fairly responsive to emails and is flexible meeting in person.

Comment:
English 111 was a discussion-based class; participate once a week and all's good. Reading responses due weekly but write a fair amount and full points are given. Attendance is completely optional, many students only came once a week, but the final is much easier if you listen in class. 2hr class leave early. Highly recommend for any English class

Mr. Hurley was by far my favorite teacher at edmonds! He is so funny and you can tell cares about his students and their grades. Taking his Eng101 class was amazing, he assigns three essays over the quarter and lets you redo the first two for a entirely new grade if you dont like the original grade. By far the best class ive taken.

Hurley has his good and bad days. He gets really anal when students are late or don't show up to class. Sometimes he'll drop "in class assignments" when people don't show up. There's not a lot of reading, but his papers aren't too hard either. He helps you in class on what to write about, how to write out, and what he's expecting.
