Professor Sklar is the best professor I have ever had. He is so fun and engaging and funny. As he is so interesting, learning from him is honestly fun. He grades easily, and makes you interested in the material also. The work load is not overbearing and he is so understanding about fixing your work if you would like to.

Such an inspirational man. I had the pleasure of being in his creative writing course and interviewing him for another class. He's the type of professor that actually cares about how you are doing in and out of the classroom.

I have this guy as my creative writing professor. I can honestly say he is the best teacher I have ever had in my life. He is absolutely hilarious. He is honestly a breath of fresh air. He makes you feel so comfortable, and he is a truly inspiring man. I have so much respect for him, and he is an extremely talented author.

"A butterfly landed on something and then something happened" Ok so he's a little nutty but more entertaining than a night of reality t.v. His classes are easy but definitely life inspiring because come on, life is really about the random little things that he celebrates!

Comment:

Sklar was by far my favorite and most interesting teacher that I had. Yes, you can coast through his class.. but he gives you freedom to write creatively without heavy criticism.. not many college courses offer that. He made me enjoy what I wrote and not dread writing (worried that I would fail). Everyone should have him atleast once at EC. - and the hair.. how couldn't that be deemed hot??? =)

this guy is so easy that he'll give you an A just for showing up. if you want to learn something, take a class with someone else. if you want to coast, this guy is for you. seriously unchallenging.

Comment:

Each class he teaches is almost exactly the same-if you take one, you've taken them all. I'm pretty convinced he never actually read a thing I wrote. He wasn't good at constructive criticism. He has his favorite students, but if you cross him, look out.

Sklar was a great friend but as a teacher... I found myself not looking forward to classes, being bored, and getting angry when he just made up a grade. I also didn't learn everything I think I should.

Sklar is an interesting man. Although his classes are easy you learn alot. He's entertaining and definitely an original person. I appreciated his unique character and would take another class with him just to listen to him bang on his drum on friday morning when i am hung over.
