Comment:
He doesn't like to give out high grades! We also had pop quizzes pretty much every week so although he doesn't take attendance not going to class will definitely hurt your grade. He is otherwise a super cool guy but the class was a little on the boring side. Good luck getting through Black Elk Speaks.

Comment:
Andrews is a cool person. His lectures are imbued with his charisma and passion for the course. But he seems to grade by publication standards which can be annoying. I hate writing essays under the instruction of someone who thinks there's such thing as a perfect essay. Despite his nitpicking, the assigned reading compensated for it. Great books!

I've taken his Eng 355, Eng 314, and Eng 378 classes at CSUN, and he's been a solid professor. Yes, he will grade you and your papers critically, but he frequently gives the opportunity for you to improve through constructive criticism and offering office visits. If you don't put the effort into papers, you'll take a hit. Otherwise, easy A.

Comment:
It is true, he is too harsh of a grader. Expect a half or even full grade lower on his essays than you usually get in other classes. Its lame. He doesn't realize or care that this actually disincentivizes and demotivates. We are unpublished, undergrad students. Inaccurate and unrealistic. Other than that it is standard and straightforward.

This teacher is friendly and really loves story telling. He's genuine as a person, but as a teacher he's the most critical grader, and i don't say this lightly. I've recieved the worst grades i've ever recieved in my life in this class, and i've put in the time and energy he expects. Do what he asks of you and expect harsh results in the end.

Such a nice and polite professor. He gives away all of the ideas for the essays that he assigns. There is no attendance. He is a little bit tough on grading but not the worst. I enjoy his sense of humor. Recommended.

Dr. Andrews is an amazing teacher. He assigns interesting reading materials and is clear about what he expects from students. He assigns two essays, quite a few pop quizzes on the reading, one small partner project, and he gives opportunities for extra credit. Just make sure you show up to class and do the reading. Definitely recommend.

Dr. Andrews is a highly intelligent, professional, and kind person. He encourages you to participate and challenges you. He's also very helpful and is willing to read very long papers in rough draft format. Andrews loves to learn and he loves to see other people learn. I would definitely take his class again. He's really there for his students

Professor Andrews is a fairly good professor. He grades harsh. It's hard to get an A. He is an intelligent, funny, and down to Earth person but it's sometimes hard to pinpoint exactly what he wants. No final. Two papers. Read all the assigned reading, it helps with your papers. Advice: Always ask questions no matter what, for clarity purposes.

This teacher is not helpful and will speak down to you if you ask questions. The material is not structured. He is a very hard grader and does not give good instructiondirection to his essays--he expects you to do all the work. He is pretentious and will proudly announce that the class average for large essays were 75%. So don't expect an A. Ever.

I love professor Andrews! This class was pretty easy- a lot of reading, but it's all interesting! He made this class so interesting and really helped me learn a whole lot! He is hilarious, nice, and very understanding. He is a very brilliant man and definitely knows his stuff! I highly recommend this class and professor Andrews!

Ok, so I have never rate anybody here but this prof is really not a fair grader. This was an elective and he expects too much from the essays he assigns, to start he is not even clear how this essays should be written, so you will know when you get back your poor grade. The material is great but it seems nearly impossible to even get an A.

I took Native American Lit a few years ago and to this day, I am still using skills I learned in this class. He will make you work, but the work is worth the reward. I resented the low grades I was receiving on papers at the beginning of the semester, but I soon discovered that he was beyond willing to help during office hours. Excellent class!

This teacher is so nit picky! Grades as harshly as a wild fire over dried up grass. Don't take this class unless you are able to write "perfect" essays because this teacher looks for perfection. I was very interested in this class, but now I regret ever taking it. Also, I feel this teacher is intimidating, at least towards me.

Very sweet man. Very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. Class time was insightful and informative. My only complaint is his unrealistic expectations for papers.There's thorough, and then there's what Prof. Andrews expects. I have received A's from notoriously more difficult professors than Andrews and I ended up with a B in his class.
