Comment:

Took his English class over the summer after failing English 104 during the semester. He takes class serious & doesn't play around but he makes also makes it fun. Learned more in 5 weeks with him than I ever imagined. Hilarious, old-school type of guy who is always willing to help. He lets you rewrite papers until you get an A which is also a plus!

Love Jim Place! His class is easy, gets a little dull, but what class doesn't? He's extremely helpful if you're willing to communicate and work with him. But, a sense of humor is an absolute MUST in his class because he loves to tease everybody. Even semesters after I was done with his class he'd help me with papers for other classes. Great guy

Jim Place is the best professor I have ever had. I have learned so much from him, and I can honestly say I am a better writer because of him. Using what I learned from him I can literally write a 5 page paper in a matter of hours, and it will be structurally sound. I loved his class. Amazing professor. I cannot say enough about how awesome he is.

Absolutely my favorite professor :) he really cares about his students and though he can come off as a hard ass he is highly intelligent and very respected among students, also feared by some other faculty he will go to all lengths for his students. All you have to do is ask.

James Place is honestly one of the best teachers that I have ever had. He taught me how to write research papers and I've used his method in many other classes throughout my college career and even after. He is funny and helpful. He gives amazing feedback and understands that not everybody knows how to write. Highly recommend taking his class!

Place will not let you get less than an A in his class. You literally will not leave the class at the end of the semester without an A. The only way you can't get an A is if you simply do not do the work. He is also hilarious and a very nice guy. I wouldn't take English with any other professor

I am currently taking his English 104 class and I love it! He requires 4 papers throughout the semester, and as long as you bring them on time you'll be good. He gives a chance to correct the essay, and writes awesome feedback so that is easy A. He taught me so much about writing research papers. And his lectures are hilarious!

I took 104 with him and he was great! He's a great guy who wants you to succeed. Was having a rough semester in what turned out to be the wrong field for me,he helped me out whenever I needed it! UNLIMITED rewrites of essays and go to him after class if you need help, very understanding and helps you write great research papers. Highly recommended!

You only have to write 4 papers in this class. However, you can rewrite every paper over until you get a B. Gives excellent feedback. He shows you ways to make writing research papers a breeze. Not kidding. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!!!

Best teacher I have ever had. He will go out of his way to do anything for a student. He gives you more than one chance to correct a paper. Key is to LISTEN to his directions and you will have no problem on a paper. He is a role model and absolutely hilarious! Take advantaged of his office hours if you need help, he has no problem helping!

One of the best teachers I have ever had in my life. If you EVER need help, go to his office; he will pull out your paper and walk you through it. Helps with admissions essays and essays for other classes. Also, the man is freakin' hilarious and truly an inspirational person. If you don't have Place for 104, you're missing out.

Comment:

If you didn't like him then it is 90% likely you were beyond lazy or an overall rude person. He is old-school… Show up on time, don't use your cell, don't sleep. He is VERY structured with papers. Do NOT be creative, just do what he says and you will get an A. You can redo all papers too until you are happy with the grade. He's a funny guy too.

Professor Place is the MAN! Granted he ha a foul mouth, but still he is funny. He definitely made class interesting. His teachings were incredibly helpful. I still use his format for writing papers and am pulling off A's. Highly recommend taking his class. If you have a problem with him go talk to him about it. He'll listen.
