He makes you write papers without giving you clear instructions. Hard teacher to learn from and grades like everyone should be amazing at writing.

Comment:

spends hours talking without telling you anything, thinks a 50% is an average paper and only gives A's on things that should be published. I got a great score on the one I bs'd and a 50% on practically everything else. Very frustrating to work with. Don't take him if you can help it.

Comment:

Often brought his troubles to class. Didn't take them out on us, just made it apparent that he was having a bad day. He is very intelligent and loves literature. I feel I learned a lot and it was not a difficult class at all & I'm an engineering student.

Horrible teacher. He should not be teaching. I feel like I have learned nothing from his class. Everything he talked about in his classes, I had already learned in prior English classes.

Comment:

Worst professor ever! Seriously, he tries to explain the paper, but then gets off topic for 20 min. Then when you get your paper back, he literally destroys it. I am an A student and I was happy to get a B- Oh and lets not forget that we sit in a stupid circle like we are kids. DON'T EVER TAKE HIM!!

The guy really shouldn't be teaching. Horrible in every way possible. Lectures have no meaning, no feedback on assignments, and for gosh sakes we sit in a circle and talk about absolutely nothing.

I am a COLLEGE senior and at every class we sit around in a circle and do his rendition of show and tell! I wish I could drop this class but I'm graduating this summer.

Comment:

WORST EVER! I dual enrolled and am an A student, out of a class where there was 11 dual enrolled students only about two of them will be getting credit for taking this class. He is not clear on what he wants on papers. He is rude and not helpful at all. He is just a JERK! If you are supposed to have his class GET OUT OF IT!!!!

The worst teacher I've ever had. BORING classes. He actually told me he thought I plagarized assuming that I wasn't intelligent enough to come up with what I wrote. That should tell you enough.

I did the final report and he would not accept it. Even after following the form that he wanted. This instructor should be fired from Ferris. Seriously if they care about students they would let this instructor go.

Don't take this professor. He is not clear on what he wants in reports and expects students to know what he wants. I wish I had withdrawn before the final.

Comment:

isn't as bad as everyone on here says he is.Isn't very clear w/what he wants on assignments, but he lets you redo just about anything.How can you fail?! He likes to ramble about weird things, but he's actually pretty interesting. Lots of little assignments, nothing was difficult in this class and he likes you if you talk to him after class. nice gu
