Comment:

I took this class online. There were papers due by the end of every week. Each paper led up to the final paper, which was really nice. You have to do every assignment, if you miss just one, you will fail, which he lists in his requirements. Easy to get a hold of, great feedback. I thought he was great and would take him again.

Comment:

Dr. Bartone is a phenomenal professor. I had him twice, once for ENGL 102 and now for ENGL 203. Both times he is a very knowledgable and helpful professor. When taking creative writing, he really makes it fun and brings the best writer out of you. Even if you aren't a fan of writing. If I could I would take him every semester. Highly recommend him.

Comment:

An easy A if you turn in every assignment. He's sweet and knows a lot about the writing business. However, he's super unorganized and it gets irritating. His lectures are pointless and repetitive. He gives weekly assignments but doesn't explain how he wants them done. His feedback is "eh" at best. He definitely does the bare minimum each semester.

If you have the opportunity to take a class with Bartone, DO IT! He's such a great professor, not to mention a generally good guy. He'll work with you if you have any concerns, most deadlines are flexible, and he wants the best for his students who take their craft seriously. Plus, he doesn't believe in making students buy textbooks.

First class I took at Edinboro. I thoroughly enjoyed it even though I thought I could never like English. Very helpful when you can snag him for a second to read a portion of your paper. Take him if you can!

Comment:

He's a decent person, but I felt that he didn't really want to teach. He assigns readings with no follow up and doesn't seem to enjoy reading student papers. He talks a lot about himself and his novel to the point where it seems egomaniacal. After finishing this class, I feel as though I didn't learn anything I didn't know already.

He's very helpful and will go over your essays before and after you've turned them in to give you a better understanding and to improve as much as possible. We had three essays and a final project, and the final project is tons of fun. The essays are simple: narrative, structured, and a persuasive. Very nice, easy, helpful class!

Comment:

If you take his 103 course over the 101, he expects more of you, but you have a LOT more freedom. Every essay you choose how to write it and as long as you do it well, he doesn't care. His 104 class is the same. Bartone is passionate and fun, even dresses up for Halloween! His feedback is great and you just have to be a better writer after this.

He was the first professor I ever took, and he continues to be my favorite. Writing four essays takes a bit of time, but overall, I learned a lot. He is a very nice guy, and you have the chance to take him, DO IT! You will not regret your decision.

Bartone is a gem at Edinboro.He is inspiring and passionate and allows his students plenty of freedom to explore their creativity. He takes the time to respond to your work and appreciates your efforts and style as an individual. I wish there were more professors like him at Edinboro because his class was my most memorable at EUP.

Comment:

Great teacher. Allows a lot of freedom on all the essays. You get what you put into it; if you put effort into your writing you'll get a good grade. If you do the bare minimum, I suggest you take another teacher or English 101 instead. The journal is sort of annoying, but he does collect it at the end.

Comment:

If you are a good writer, you will enjoy the liberties Bartone gives you in his 103 class. If you have terrible grammar or a boring style, he will crush your grade like a small bug. He likes to hold small assignments hostage, and has a required journal that he supposedly collects but hasn't done once so far. Fair warning: the movie essay is awful.

I loved Mr. Bartone's class. I had him for Intro to Fiction, a class I was not looking forward to before meeting the professor. Mr. Bartone is friendly, helpful and interesting. His class was never boring and it was a 3 hr. class on Saturdays! One of the best for sure!!
