Comment:

Very kind guy that really cares about his students. As long as you do your work you should be fine. There were 5 papers which were fairly easy and there is quite a bit of homework but nothing too extreme. The class is boring and pretty redundant but could be much worse. He appreciates participation in class. Overall pretty good professor!

Comment:

He's a very eccentric guy and you really need to pay attention to his lectures on the readings because that's what you'll be tested on. It's not a tough class if you show up and share notes with people. 40% of the grade is pop quizzes, homework and group work and only 30% is the midterm and final. 1 research paper and 10% participation.

Great teacher. Will work with you and cares about his students. Occasional pop quizzes on the readings and overall 5 papers but no tests just small quizzes.

Comment:

Make sure not to use your phone in class! Otherwise he'll blow up on you and class and spend the rest of the period saying stuff, that I cannot repeat here, regardingyour existence and your parents. Other than that he's alright. Wouldn't take again, but don't regret it either.

I don't feel like I learned much as far as English goes. Wrote many papers which had a lot of positive feedback and a grade that didn't really correlate with the feedback

Hes a nice guy who cares but DONT have your phone in class. He will throw a fit and give a quiz. He is very soft spoken which makes it hard to hear him and to stay awake but is an easy grader for the most part.

Professor Salsbury is a teacher who realizes we are studying at the collegiate level and makes you work accordingly. No assignment is unfair, but come in to class having read your assignment and be ready for a quiz on the material everyday. He's a nice guy who is ready and willing to help. Overall, I really enjoy his class and would recommend him.

Comment:

Do the assigned reading every day (short detailed pop quizzes every week). I would just use spark notes half of the time instead of read but I got crap grades on the quizzes. For the midterm and final he gives a lengthy study guide (study it well) so I got 100s on both tests and the paper which balanced out my crappy quiz scores. Cell phones off!

He was always talking about his personal life in class. Sometimes he got into childish fits. I didn't feel like I learned much despite getting an A in the class. His class was so boring!

Comment:

He's a good guy. He has a lack of self control when it comes to being funny, and it can get pretty offensive sometimes...most times. Make sure you submit everything online AND in person. And for your survival, DO NOT LET YOUR PHONE GO OFF IN CLASS!

Comment:

Mr. Salsbury is a great guy and a good teacher. He tends to get off subject at times but his comments are funny. Several quizzes and 2 or 3 tests and a paper. you need to do the daily reading and pay attention in class to do well on the quizzes. Take good notes to do well on the tests because they are somewhat difficult and lengthy.

Comment:

Takes out personal feelings out on grades. He isn't clear about grading on papers and then grades them like you are in a 400 level class. His vagueness in his grading procedures allows him to be shady. Though you may make comments daily and participate in class discussions your "Participation" grade is based solely on you quiz grade?... DO NOT TAKE

You literally have to read the work he assigns you down to the fine print if you want to even come close to a worthy grade

Comment:

Mr. Salsbury was my favorite professor at Campbell. He knows what he's talking about, and I laughed until I cried every day in class. Do your reading assignments, study, work hard on your paper, and you'll do well. You're not in middle school any more. "Buck up, buttercup." He's great and easy on the eyes.

AHHHHH! Why did I take him?! He is very uptight, so the entire class period is uncomfortable and you are on-edge. Whatever you do DO NOT let him see/hear your cell phone... He will go nuts!

Comment:

Great Professor! It takes time to adjust to his way of teaching (all over the place) but is a really great guy, extremely helpful. You MUST read, gives pop quizzes, cellphone ring/use= instant quiz for the entire class, final/midterm are intense, but if you study hard you will get an A. Only one paper to write. I will take his class again!
