Comment:

He's very unclear most of the time. One of the hardest graders I seen in my life. You have to write a certain way that is good in his eyes to get a good grade on a paper which is usually a B paper.

Comment:

He is a very tough professor, all of his papers are very hard to do. every topic that we discuss in class is hard to understand. you think that you wrote a great essay, but for him the essay is wrong or is not written correctly. He is nice, but as a professor he is very tough, so just avoid him.

Comment:

He is not helpful when meeting with him about essays. I did not feel as if my writing has improved at all. He is confusing, unclear and narrow minded. He wants you to write in a specific format and phrases; if you try to do anything besides that you will fail the essays. I dreaded the class, I didn't like myself or watching others being ridiculed

Comment:

He's a great professor, and very funny. His writing exercises are helpful and address common problems in writing. For example, he'll give you wordy sentences and ask you to pare them down, or he'll ask us to compare different thesis statements. He's a tough but fair grader, but if you do the reading and work hard on your essays, you'll do great.

Comment:

He seems like he is eather High on Caffine, or was a crazy hippy, I would give anything to have seen him in College. Class is pretty easy, he manages to keep everyone focused, best part of all you get to Listen to Bob Dylan in class.

this guy never seems to know what he's talking about. he also beats things into the ground and it gets real hard to go to class every day to talk about the same stuff over and over.
