Comment:

Not even a real English class, he just uses it as an excuse to shove his political views down your throat. He talks like a 12 year old who just discovered internet communism and loves to talk about how capitalism is scared and evil, because he says so.

Comment:

John was a good teacher, lots of essays and lots of reading plus group work so make sure you have your book with you for every class, and do the reading assignments to stay on top of the lectures. I only wish I could've learned a bit more than I actually did but overall he's an easy going guy which helps get through the class.

John didn't graded my papers properly. He also taught poorly and I didn't learn much. He is very chill but would not recommend.

Assignments are overall easy, as long as you stick to what he wants you'll easily pass his class. He's very funny and does understand how it feels to be a college student so he tries to make the class fun which works.

Comment:

Always has a positive attitude! He definitely makes you work for your grade, however not too hard to where it's impossible. Lots of in class work and occasional homework. Four essays in total but they do acquire hard work. But if you don't like the grade received you can retype the essays as many times as it takes until you like the grade.

Comment:

Albert is very calm and this class is ALL discussions, dont be afraid of this because all you do is read from a book and then next day as a group talk about the projects. ALOT OF GROUP projects so if you are shy get ready to talk to people. But seriously this is an EASY A. Very inspiring professor but doesn't give a lot of feedback.

John Albert is dedicated and willing to help students who put the effort into his class. As long as you get the work done, this class is super easy and he has a friendly and open attitude. The assignments are easy and he normally allows you to pick your essay topic, which is great. Give him respect, and he will return it.

Comment:

Professor Albert is an easy teacher. Its just a lot of class discussions and a few essays. There is small writing assignments due almost every single class and there is a lot of reading but you aren't tested on it, its more for group discussions. There is also in class assignments every class. The class is super boring but its an easy A. He's nice

John is very confusing and unorganized. He doesn't make sense what he says. If you ask him a question he won't even answer it if he does it doesn't make sense. Don't take him. I wouldn't take his class again.

Comment:

If you're afraid of contractive criticism do not take this class. He's blunt with the students, the truth hurts. You can tell he teaches English passion. He coaches English more so than teach it. He does a good job teaching for the most part. I learned a lot. It's definitely passable. WARNING! He does not take kindly to people showing up late.

Comment:

When you start off with him, he comes off as rude and might seem like he doesn't care. I have grown to kind of hate him, but when I realize it, my writing has gotten better. He is definitely a good teacher for those who want to get better at writing. I will take him again for 101, he's very laid back. Totally recommend. Just don't expect to likehim

Class is self explanatory, he isn't even needed. He can be rude, and doesn't help very often. If you can take that and do well in your essays, you'll pass, though.

Comment:

He can be rude to students who walk in no more than 5 minutes late. He's a whatever type of teacher. Not very knowledgeable, but he likes to claim he is. All you really need to do is try your best in the essays and he will give you a passing grade. The class is self explanatory, he doesn't explain anything.

Take the PAL Eng 96 & Eng 101 course. Easy & so worth it! Albert is a chill and easy going teacher as long as you attend class and do all your work. You learn many things whether off topic or not. Although, the course is short, fast pace, and loaded with essays every other week. Take the class seriously and surely it'll be an easy A+!
