Comment:

This teacher is WIERD AS FAK! He's pretty chill though. He certainly does play his favorites but, stoop down to his weirdness and I'm sure you can pull out a B? His grading is extremely hard because he bases everything on HIS standards. Overall, I really interesting but WIERD @$$ teacher that grades hard and plays favs. Take at your own risk! Chee

Comment:

The assignments are fun and as long as you stay on task with work this class won't be hard. Initially he grades tough but it's easy to get your grade up with revisions. Don't take this class if you hate pidgin, I hated reading it. His critique is often vague and he kinda molds your work to what his vision is so at times I felt stifled. Funnny guy.

Da bomb.. Funny as hell... and not a grammar nazi... grading might seem harsh, but you can revise up to an A plus turbo. In the dictionary if you look up true compassion his smiling mug is right there.

Comment:

Hmm, what can I say? He's a cool, laid back guy. His assignments are challenging, but set by HIS standards & HIS wants. He'll cross out 1/2 of your draft, & tell you to redo it simply cause he "didn't like it". Overall left me feel unconfident in my work. Happy I (barely) passed, but don't take his class unless you can handle challenges/critisism.

Comment:

His creative writing class wasn't hard, but it wasn't easy either. If you like to write, but can't take criticism, this isn't the class for you. He's very blunt, but in a helpful/honest way. He doesn't explain things well so you have to figure things out for yourself. A plus is, his motto is "writing is rewriting" so you get to revise over & over.

He is a kinna weird teacher but hes alright i guess. His grading scale is weird he grades not from Ato F he grades A to Z!!!! I don't understand how he does that but hes a really cool and funny guy! He helps you if you need help and he is also willing to stay after class to help you with a problem.

Comment:

i didnt care for his teaching. i took creative writing with him and to me we were'nt allowed to be creative cuz it had to be what he liked or i'd get a bad grade. the only thing i liked was the chance to revise our papers for a better grade. overall i wouldnt want to take him again.

Comment:

Tonouchi is cool. He understands all the students, and especially understands "local kine style" while helping you improve your grammar and organization. He doesn't look down on you (like some profs do just because you're local). He's willing to help you when you have a hard time with a part of writing.

Comment:

Mr T is caring teacher, it's an easy A but LOTS of rewriting involved. As long as you do the rewriting, come to class on time, this class is a cruise. Learning how to analyze literature works was hard for me, but Mr T gives you hints how to do that. Good teacher but not for the lazy.

Comment:

To be blunt Tonouchi comes off as being autistic, which is probably why his social skills suck. I would never trust anything he says, or buy any of his unfunny books.

Homework load is not bad at all. his motto is "writing is rewriting" and it is easy to obtain a higher grade if you make the effort to rewrite your poems, stories, and assignments. His classes are a bit mundane, but the work load is not stressful at all.

OMG, the media protrays Lee as this funny guy, but he's totally different in real life. Lee is totally disconnected with reality. His verbal skills also sucks (i.e. his mumbling, and not finishing with whatever point he's trying to make).

The worst teacher ever, if you want to get a failing he's the teacher to go to. Very unhelpful, very hard to understand, and a wast of time to take his class.
