Comment:

Love Mr. Bennett. As long as you are able to pace yourself and don't get behind on the readings, you'll do fine. Clear syllabus, no extra assignments. Tests aren't comprehensive, and he always tells you what to study for. Take good notes and make sure to highlight the quotes in the text and it's easy to succeed in his class.

Comment:

Professor Bennett is very caring and doesnt mind working one on one with you if you need any help! He assigns one research paper, some in class essays, and few test which arent that hard. Hes a pretty tough grader on some essays and other assignments but if you put effort in then you should be able to make an A.

Speeches in his class were not stressful at all. He made sure you felt comfortable while giving speeches and didnt grade too harsh on them

Overall great teacher. However he explains the criteria to be very easy and seems like an easy grader, but he does grade pretty harsh on EVERYTHING. As long as you do the work he assigns you should have an A

He's a solid choice for EH 201. He gives a quiz every day, but they are easy. Also, his test are really easy. It is crucial to show up to class. Most importantly, I actually learned something in this class, and he made it as interesting as he could!

Comment:

u dont write any essays or research papers. I never read what is assigned, but I do read the summaries and easily do good on the 5 pt quizzes he gives each class. His test come from ur notes and quotes he tells u to highlight.10 matching, 5 identification, 5 quotes and u have to know which reading it came from and who wrote it, and a 1-page essay.

Loved having Mr. Bennett as my Speech teacher. He's a great person, can be a little dry at times, but is overall a great professor. He makes his students feel comfortable giving speeches and even offers extra credit! Lenient on grading. One test and about 6 speeches the whole semester. You can get by without a book. Definitely recommend him!

Bennett tries his best to make his class interesting (EH 201). You may not like the subject personally, but he makes it bearable. You do have a lot of blogs, and some of them require some thinking, but they will all add up to a test grade. Quizzes every class on what you were suppose to read (except poems). Class is only hard if you never read.

Comment:

Bennett is a very easy speech teacher! He is rather lenient on his grading of speeches, and I believe we only ever took two tests. You could probably get by without the text book, but it is better to have it so you can follow along with him. Great teacher, makes your feel comfortable while giving speeches, and I definitely recommend him!

Take Bennett! I absolutely loved this class!! He's super easy, and you actually learn because he's good at making you understand. You do have quizzes and blogs almost every class, but they are easy extra points! His tests aren't hard as long as you study, and he basically tells you what will be on the test! 10/10 highly recommend

He's a really nice man. Spends a lot of time trying to make sure you're comfortable with your peers, which makes giving speeches a breeze. Doesn't give homework, unless it's your speech assignment. Really laid back. Tries his best to make schedule where you don't come during exam week. Doesn't grade harsh, pretty easy.

He has been my favorite professor at JSU. He is funny and keeps things simple. He makes what will be on the tests clear to you. You have a quiz basically each class but they are easy and he gives you bonus points. His tests are pretty straight forward. If you miss class you wont fail but you should probably get notes from someone.

Boring, unimaginative and stagnant. Teaches straight out of the text. Holds all students to a standard that is outdated, stifling and incredibly narrow. And he gives the longest, most boring lectures.

I loved the class. Reading assignments are not difficult. It is an easy A as long as you show up, do your blogs, and write down everything he says about the work. Simple quiz every week.

Mr. Bennett is an awesome English 101 teacher. He lets you revise all of your essays for a higher grade. He is willing to help you if you are having issues. Wrote about 5 essays, 1 book test, and 1 research paper! He tells you exactly what he is looking for. Class never goes the full time.

Mr. Bennett is an amazing teacher. He always offers his help and he's very understanding. You can turn your assignments in a week after the dhe date, which is pretty cool. He's funny and almost always let us out early.

I love Mr. Bennett . He is so helpful ! Whenever you need help he is there to help you. he expects you to turn in your work on time but does give you a week to complete it. don't take him for granted !! you do have a essay every week but he does give you a week and a half to finish it. you really don't need the McGraw hand book. Take Him!!!
