Comment:

Professor C was one of my favorites. His lectures were interesting but not a hard class at all. He assigns people to read chapters every class then we come to class and people give their feedback on the assigned chapters they read. Easy class. just do the readings and take notes when people explain their part. Great professor. 2 papers no quizzes.

Probably one of the easiest classes I have ever taken. The essays were extremely easy. No final exam, your final grade is based off of 3 essays from the whole semester. You can basically never show up to class and still receive an A.

Comment:

Easy A. He is very nice but classes can be a little boring - he tries to start class discussions but a lot of times no one talks so he sort of rambles on and tells his own stories. Just 3 essays - chance to rewrite 2 of them for better grade. Attendance counts but you can miss 4 classes.

Only 3-4 papers, plus he takes attendance into account. Doesn't really teach you anything from the textbook per say, but gives very good real life examples to help relate what he is teaching. Really enjoyed his class, and having him as a professor. Pretty easy A if you show up and do the work

This class is what you make of it. He gives you two full days to work on papers and peer reviews so its pretty hard to not turn something in on time or at all. Easy a for sure. If you show up, participate, and read, youll be fine.

Best teacher. Laid back and chill. You don't do much, a few readings that we will ask if you want to do and then you will have to write some papers, but he gives plenty of time to work on the assignments and the two days following the day you turn it in you go in for one 5 minute meeting on a day you pick and that's it. Doesn't care if you are late

Honestly easy A, you write 3 essays and he doesn't grade hard, he lets you give your own opinion on all essays. He lets you do corrections on 2/3 essays. He's very caring and understanding. No exams.

Comment:

I didn't start out on good terms with Mr. Calonne. However, after talking to him about it, everything was okay. He is a genuinely caring man, and wants to help you improve your writing. His lectures can go off topic a bit, however, they do tie into the readings. Overall, read, take good notes, and show up. Engage in the the conversations as well.

I did not enjoy this professor, we did not talk about the writing process or writing at all. He likes to talk about philosophy and theory but not writing .

David was a great professor. You really get to explore what you like writing about as long as it is under one of a couple categories. He is a very easy grader and gives you the opportunity to rewrite all your essays at the end of the semester

Comment:

Great professor. He is not a hard grader, whatsoever. Take him if you already know a little bit about writing because he basically teaches philosophy/sociology and not writing, which I actually enjoyed quite a bit. I only received less than an A when I did not meet the paper length requirements.

Comment:

This is a WRITING class, please be aware of this before you leave a comment please. The writing assignments are long, but not impossible, and as long as you write the length you will get at least a B. Lecture is a little strange because we mostly talk about the philsophies in the book he assigns, but it is interesting if you participate.

He is not bad, i wish i actually got the chance to learn more about writing. This professor just goes on and on about a dumb book. Anyway the three papers you have to write are relatively easy, he is just a hard grader.

Comment:

Class was kind of boring. He has a monotone voice that makes the class not too exciting but he can be funny. As long as you do the assignments and make the corrections on your essays you will get a good grade. I hear he is a lot easier than the other professors so take him if possible. He gets along with the students and respects your opinions.

Comment:

Professor Calonne is really nice and laid back. Lectures can be boring but I just brought my laptop and listened played on Facebook. I bought the thick book but not the package from the school and was just fine. The three papers you write are super easy and you can pick anything you want to write about. Great, interesting professor.

Comment:

Good professor, just a really easy and boring class. He doesn't even talk about English too much he just goes off on tangents. There's 3 papers, a reflection letter, a project, and a portfolio. He cancels class for meetings a lot. You need the books he references them a lot and you have to read from them. If you can write well, you'll do fine.
