Real good guy I was hoping he was teaching Comp 2 but he wasn't. He has old man humor which you will find funny. If you get less than a B you didn't even try.

Discussion boards are most of your grade. There is a lot of reading; the book is a requirement.

Comment:

Mr. Punches is an amazing teacher. He gets distracted at times but stays close to the subject at hand. He is knowledgably over the material. Tests were different than most. Make sure to keep up with the readings or else you will not do well on the tests. The meditation exercise at beginning of each class got old for me very quickly however.

Professor Punches is a difficult man to figure out. He can be kind and helpful or one day he can get a wild hair and be a bit tempered. Listen well, and communicate with him frequently treat him with respect and kindness and he will give you just the same. He tells great stories at times, I can appreciate his world wisdom.

Comment:

He is a wonderful professor. I have learned much about how to improve my writing skills and with my guidance enter into an essay contest. Mr Punches is a compassionate man with a sense of humor. The students giving bad reviews are the ones who sought out qualities that do not exist in a teacher. You won't regret taking his course.

Dr. Punches is one of the best professors I have ever had. He was one reason I truly fell in love with Literature. Just show up, do your reading, and participate. If you do that, you will do very well in the class. He remains one of my favorite professors to this day.

Punches is the most caring person. Very passionate about his students and the subjects he teaches. He thinks a lot, pausing when speaking, but he always brings you up to speed on what he was thinking. He is overall the best teacher I've ever had.

Mike is a great man and a great teacher. Some parts of English are dry and not even close to interesting. Even he said so. Do your assignments how he wants them, and you'll have no problem. I hope you read this Mike.

Comment:

Great professor. He was also my faculty advisor so I figured I should take at least one of his classes. So far I have taken three and they were all interesting. He likes things the way he likes them but once you get that down the classes are a lot of fun. I have taken his classes both online and in person and would do both again if I had the chance

Mr Punches was an awesome teacher. Will admit he likes to tell his story but they were interesting to say the least. Great to watch him....he pauses like he is thinking of everything he is going to say. Essay's were pretty easy if you just follow his instructions....easy A for sure!

Comment:

This guy is an abnoxious bore. He wastes you class time talking about himself and being arrogant about the ideology of the material without actually improving anyones understanding of the material. You are better off not wasting the money and learning on your own. NOT recommended if you want this course to COUNT!
