Comment:
He is the best! His teaching style is great because he really wants his students to engage in creative writing so he gives fun topics to write about. He's a fairly easy grader and he is really kind! I enjoy going to his class every week, but it is very discussion based. I would love to take a class with him again!

Definitely discussion based. He encouraged us all to speak, and cracked jokes from time to time. Soft spoken, so class was slow sometimes. He gave us opportunities after class to discuss our drafts and the specific things he wanted us to improve on. He clarified his feedback and led me in the right direction to edit my papers.

I had professor Stiffler for English 1. He is a deep thinking guy who is excited about exploring the ideas behind literature. We had many interesting class discussions. His grading is a little inconsistent among students, but overall, great guy.

He was really nice and cared about how you did in the class. The papers were pretty clear and were the only graded assignments in the class. I definitely recommend Professor Stiffler!

Comment:
Stiffler is incredibly wise and good at directing students' thoughts. In class - and in his comments on papers - he can be a little bit vague, but in his office hours he's incredibly helpful. He really likes when students go to his office hours. I didn't ace this class but I learned SO MUCH. Definitely worth it!

His style is more discussion based and he is a HUGE believer in peer revision and multiple drafts. It's helpful to talk to him about your paper ideas before you start writing them so you understand what he's looking for. Overall, a really nice person who helped improve my writing skills

The best way to improve your grades is to go to his office hours. Professor Stiffler is extremely helpful 1 on 1 and makes your writing way better. Class can be really boring, but you just have to show up. The only grades are 6 3-5 page essays and an oral presentation based on short stories that you discuss in class. You don't have to do the readin

Stiffler is such a great professor. I learned so much from him. I went to office hours a lot and he was beyond helpful. Amazing. It is not easy to get an A or A- in this class. You will definitely work and truly push yourself to be better. He'll help you too. He cares about the students and enjoys what he's doing.

The actual classes are easy and there is not much work other than essays. We have 6 (3-5 page) essays due this term and I don't really know of anyone who has gotten an A.

Great guy. Slightly spacey at times, but cares alot about making sure his students improve in their writing abilities. Very helpful in office hours. Classes tend to drag a little bit with peer editing, but get a good group and they're productive. Class pattern is very predictable.

His is a genuinely kind teacher. His class is mainly based on discussing reading material and peer editing. If your classmates don't talk class will drag on. But he gives a lot of freedom on assignments and is very helpful with his comments on drafts.

Comment:
SO FLIPPIN DRRRYYYY ... but he tries. If you show effort that would probably bump up a grade thats on the cusp. Sometimes grading is arbitrary. Use the academic resource center and get other people to edit your paper. Then he sees effort and grades higher. you dont have to do the reading but its not half bad. youll have some discussion on it

incredibly nice and invested teacher, cares about the students ability, allows for a lot of creativity with assignments. Class consists of a lot of discussions of readings which can be boring if your classmates are boring, also a lot of peer reviewing which is mostly unhelpful unless you have a good student working with you
