Comment:

Do not think about it, just take him. As a person, he is great and so helpful. Also with his class, everything is fine. But (FYI), he talks too much and after you get out from his class, your brain would not take something anymore. Basically, he explains a lot. You should be able to pretend listening, take his class, you will see what I mean.

Comment:

Professor Kurt genuaily wants his students to succeed. He is an inspirational person. There was a couple books we had to read and write about. He takes the students outside one on one to discuess what we could improve with our papers we had to write. I found this very helpful because getting detailed feedback is what has made me a better writer.

He cares so much for the success of his students. The class activities were enjoyable and engaging, while the paper topics were relevant, personal, and endlessly interesting. We had 4 essays and a handful of different readings. As long as you show up for class, try your best on every assignment, and stick to his grading criteria, you'll pass!

Prof meyer is super duper friendly! He gives lots of homework in my opinion but how he checks them: he will give you full credit if you did it. the books he assign us to read can be found online. He gives really good feedback on essays. He is also very understanding. If youre absent just send him an email why. He replies to emails too.

I can't even explain how happy I am that I took Professor Meyer's class - not only because of how interesting this class was, but also how amazing he is as a professor. He gives super good feedback about essays... I've never received such detailed and amazing comments from any writing teachers in my life. He is also super, super, super nice. :)

He's such a great teacher. No matter what it is, I can always talk to him, more like a friend rather a professor. He gives great advice and can help with any essay or English question you have. Highly recommend him!

Professor Meyer is the best English Professor I have ever had... He comes to class prepared and ready to teach us... his classes are not boring and he cares about you ...I encourage anybody who didn't take him for an English course, to take him and you won't regret!!! You come to class tired and you leave it happy and inspired!!

Comment:

Professor Meyer was one of my first professors at Irvine Valley College when I moved to California. This was his first time teaching Intro to Shakespeare and boy was it a wonderful experience. Professor Meyer was so attentive to listening and also had plenty of feedback and ideas for you to build off of. His passion and care was beyond infectious.

He's a really kind a caring teacher. Very helpful if you talk to him. the class was amazing and he had different interesting subjects to talk about. I got perfect grades in every essay and I'm an average B student in English. 6 essays total, a quiz for almost every essay, sometimes online sometime verbally and he takes you step by step every essay

I took him in spring semester, he is a polite teacher not going to say hes not always here for you. i just didn't appreciate when i would write my essays every time it would be a no pass and it would frustrate me so bad because i tried my absolute best and he was never satisfied with my work. i wouldn't suggest for someone to take him.

He's really enthusiastic which gets annoying sometimes but he tries to make it an enjoyable experience. We had 7 essays total which had pretty clear grading criteria. As long as you put Forth effort there's no reason why you can't get an A

One of the most amazing professors at IVC. He is incredibly kind and really loves the work he does and it shows in the way he treats his students. Before taking classes with Prof. Meyer, I was a little disillusioned by college, but he really changed my opinion on the college experience.

going into his class i honestly had no idea how to write or propose a proper essay. but coming out of the class i know how to write a paper better than my parents. Do expect to write at least 5 essays, but are easy if you use the help that he offers you.

Comment:

I am an older student, work full time plus and take night classes. This Professor was engaging and held my attention even after a long day at work. The homework and reading were consistent and you have to stay on top of the work. This class stretched my mind in how I look at literature.
