Comment:

Hard teacher, but totally worth it! This class is the most work-related class I have taken at PSU York. He expects a lot, but gives you the chance to submit a rough draft of every assignment. Quit your crying and listen to what he is teaching - if you can't write effectively you will look like just another stupid graduate in your first job.

Terrible teacher. Disgrace to Penn State and all english teachers. Grading was ridiculous and did not care about the students. Hopefully will get fired.

Comment:

This guy is very tough, but you'll come out a better writer. He teaches you to take all the fluff out of your bloated writing. I suggest submitting rough drafts and visting him during office hours. Don't take him personally either. You need to really apply yourself here.

This Professor was hard. Always provides feedback in a timely manner. Will never deny anyone help. However, just because you go to him for help don't expect an A. You must Earn your grade in his class. suggestion start the 1st project asap, they build up rapidly its a 400 level course people.

Hardest class I have taken. I hated trying to please Mr. Perfect. You will learn or fail. His expectations are extremely high but I turn in reports at work and recieve very positive feedback because I ask myself what would Russell say before I submit anything.

This professor is great. Lazy students don't like him at all, but if you do the work he is encouraging and very helpful. These negative reviews are unfair. If you belong in college at all this is a real teacher.

Comment:

In the dictionary under "stuckup jerk" it says "See David Russel" Do not take this course! unless you feel like getting D's on assignments. He treats you like you're a nobody and is very insultive.

Worst Teacher I have ever seen at Penn State York. They need a new professor for this class. He's rude and insultive, he prides himself on people not liking him and being an "SOB" very arrogant and conceited, very hard to pass his course. do not

Comment:

i also have to agree that he is a horrible teacher. i sat next to the student that he said that to, that was just very rude of him. he has no passion for teaching, he's just there to get paid and doesn't care about the students. if u wanna fail take him!

Comment:

This professor lacks everything. Teaching style is, lets write three notes on the board and do a GRADED exercise in class. Helpfulness to the students is horrible. Enjoys giving everybody D's on every writing assignment.
