Very kind dude, super intelligent and encouraging. His essay prompts are hit and miss, but he doesn't mind giving extensions (in fact, he usually just offers to give an extension)

Comment:
Very hard grader, wanted there to be a specific process for writing that did not work for me, not very helpful, goes off topic when you ask for help. Does not stick to syllabus and does not use moodle. No grading rubrics to follow. Hard to know what he wanted. Was not much of a structure for the class. Very nice and funny though.

David is very bad at giving directions, hard for a WLA prof. Didn't give out a single A on any paper. Very unclear on directions. Can be funny sometimes.

He never followed the syllabus and lacked a structured class overall. Nice guy who is willing to help if you seek it out yourself. He taught interesting material but wasn't always clear with his lessons.

A terrible grader and unhelpful. I am not a good writer and he did not help. He is a nice person and tries but the class structure and grading style just didn't work for me.

He was one of my favorite professors that I've had here. Always really helpful with questions and made the material really interesting. He was always flexible with meeting, it was great.

He ignored my continuous emails and questions and did not help me at all, so I ended up seeking help from my high school English teacher on assignments, and he told me that my semester was out of control, when I received great grades in all my other classes. Terrible.

My fav. prof in Morris. Fantastic professor. Challenging, creative, organized, awesome. One of the few prof. I've had where I felt like paying my tuition money to get a "expert/academic" to teach me was worth it. PLUS, he's uber hot. To bad I am gay and he is married. :-( But he loves his family and it's so moving to hear him talk about them. He seems like a genuinley happy man. Inspiring.
