Comment:

Writing topics are self-selected within a topic field which is great because it makes it easier to write. As long as you watch the short videos and try to write you will do fine. Tough proofreader, I don't think I received more than a 90% on any final write which was far. He is responsive and grades most things within an hour even on sunday nights.

Comment:

This class totally sux! Wish I took it with another professor who actually had something more valuable to teach. I have a full time job and took this hoping to improve my writing skills, it just made it much worse. I can't use any of what I learned in my next class, its like I have to relearn everything. DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS WITH LAWLESS!

Comment:

Mr. Lawless helped me become a better writer. He grades tough on the discussions so you can understand your grammar mistakes. I only have to write two essays for this class in which it was easy. The essay were interesting to write for this class. He made us write about classical literature and classical films. I wished I have took him for Comp. 1.

Comment:

Lawless is tough but he makes you want to become a better writer. I was able to meet him face to face with concerns over my grades, and he helped me get an A by the end of the semester. There are weekly quizzes which the school requires we take, but he hates them. Smartthinking is your best friend! I would recommend Professor Lawless.

Great professor - one of the best I've taken at SPC. He gives amazing feedback. This is a Comp class so, of course there is a lot of reading and writing. You do need to put the work in to get a good grade, but he is in constant communication with his class about due dates and assignment info.

I took this class online and I loved it! He frequently sends emails about due dates and what is expected and is very friendly! He gives great feedback; if you do great, he lets you know, and if you didn't, he gives great advice on how to do better. He is very quick to grade assignments and respond to questions.

We are about to take midterms and it has been great! It IS alot of work. Truth be told, any English Comp class is alot of reading and writing. That's just how it goes. However, he emails back almost immediately. He is encouraging kind, and provides EVERYTHING you need to be successful. Work hard and you will do great!

I took Professor Lawless online and it was an overall good experience. As long as you follow instructions and value the feedback he gives, you should get a good grade. Participation matters especially since you get an extra point for it, which is awesome. Grades assignments quickly. Definitely recommend him.

Very responsive, quick to email back, loves his work but he is a very hard grader. It isn't always clean what he's asking for. He's a great teacher but if you don't love writing he may not be the one for you. Tests are difficult very detailed.

I love this guy. I took his Engish Comp 2 class and it was very fun and interesting. We covered things like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, classic movies, and some great short stories. He was very good with feedback. Also, he bumped up the final grades up to .9% and an addition 1% for participation. Best professor I've had for an online class.

This was the most challenging classes I have taken thus far. You REALLY have to perfect your skills in ALL areas. I am happy that I took him bc he pushed me to learn how to be not just a good writer, but a great one! Rouns up final grade by almost 2 points. 9 quizzes (10 quest 10 min--so READ IT 2x) midterm&final, weekly dissc. posts, 2 big papers.

Best professor ever. Super clear with all assignments, has everything laid out for you. Sends e-mails with further instructions/hints. Gives great feedback, and is always fast grading & responding to questions. Never even bought book or really needed it. Was super easy for a skilled writer like me, but lots of info and help provided if needed!
