Comment:
This class is meant to improve your grammar and reading comprehension skills. Even though it helped somewhat, it was a lot of work. On top of every other class you have, you have to worry about the 10+ online grammar and reading comp exercises that are due at the end of weeks 2,4,6,8,10. I recommend doing the online exercises together with others.

English 004L is downright disrespectful. On top of having to pay some $100+ for an online course, the material is riddled with grammatical and coding errors. Just a complete slap in the face.

Absolutely the most useless and unnecessary class at UCR 100%. You have to buy HIS books for class which means you have to waste $70. You also have to turn in all the homework at the end of quarter and I'm pretty sure the guy didn't even check it. Please pass your AP exam for English and avoid the class entirely.

He's okay. His class is online so you won't see him until the end of the quarter when you turn your work in. Don't procrastinate on your worksheet for grammar and reading comprehension; be sure to do them consistently. If you do choose to procrastinate, start working on them a week before it's due and spread the work throughout the week.

There's too much homework and quizzes to take. He makes you buy his book and he does not even lecture or teach you. This class is pointless.

I did not like taking this class because it was a mandatory class as well as an online class. The amount of quizzes I needed to take every week was crazy. I hated it. I would not recommend taking this class ever again. Go in and get out as fast as possible, better yet, get AP/IB credit and don't take this class overall.

Pointless class to take. It's an online class and it becomes a massive waste of time. Group up with people a split up the work otherwise, you're gonna suffer. He also made us buy two of his books which had multiple spelling and grammar mistake throughout, which is ironic for a man who has a Ph. D. in English. I hate this man.

His online English 004 class is so mediocre that I can't see a reason to take it. The class is so confusing and it's almost as if he set it up like that on purpose.

Dr. Vance is an amazing teacher. I really thank him a lot because he helped me become a better writer. If you listen to his lectures carefully and go to his office hours time to time, then you'll pass his class without a doubt.. However, that is up to your determination and your good judgement.. Take him and you'll not regret it. :)

This class is a lot of work. I did more work in this class than probably all four years of high school! A lot of reading and bookwork. My suggestion is to get a group of friends and share the work.

This is by far the worst class I have had. It is an online course and it had me doing more work than my actual in class course. He wrote the textbooks we use and there are so many inconsistencies in them. Terrible professor and class. Try to take somewhere else if possible.

Despite the result of repeati BW3, however I did learn a lot more in the class. He is a great professor but he grades really hard... Do take him if you can really handle the essay!

The first unit is pretty easy since he's just covering basic grammar rules. But as you advancce in the semester it gets hard. If youre like me and you have trouble with english, i would not recommend this class. One of the books he assigns doesnt explain clearly enough. I actually learned more by searching google for definitions and answers. :/
