Comment:
Extremely laid back professor. Only three papers for the entire class. Very easy grade. Only issue is that he doesn't let students take part in the conversation about the reading if he wants to say something.

Secret codes is a very easy writing seminar! The material is not super interesting, but not too difficult. Only grades are for three papers and participation. If you participate and are a decent writer, you should get an A in the class. No strict attendance policy. Perfect class for easy writing seminar!

Comment:
I had him for a freshman writing seminar and I loved him. The class was boring, but he made funny jokes (funny considering he is between 50 and 60) and he loved it when we participated. If you talk to him at the beginning and end of class he will love you. It is very easy to be on his good side. PARTICIPATE!

Very dry, but found the work amount to be relatively light and the grading also rather easy. Plus all lecture slides are available on Internet and no attendance policy. One class where you can skip a fair amount and still do well.
