He is the worst teacher ever. Expects 400 level work and this is a freshman beginner class. Very rude, always tells you how bad your work is.

Comment:

Class was terrible. If he disagrees with you then you get a C and that's assuming you get prefect scores on his papers which are also based on opinion, therefore, if you don't agree with him, you have no chance. His attempt to humiliate students goes far beyond his desire to educate them.

He was very inconsistent in grading and no one in the class got a grade above a C. It's a gen. eds course and he picked every detail apart

Dr. P was highly helpful. I did so well in his class in 2011 that one of my papers actually got published in the book for the 100 class of 2012. He is a little weird but hes pretty funny. He will update you about your grade. You have to work hard in his class though, he will make sure you do well. Highly recommend him

Mr. P was awesome. He's always willing to help and is very clear when it comes to assignments. While his class is a little difficult, you have to keep in mind that its college. If you expect an easy A you're in the wrong place. Highly recommend him!

Comment:

Great professor!! He is super helpful and the sweetest man you'll ever meet! If you take the time to go to his office he will sit with you until you understand what needs to be done to get an A on a paper. He is also very laid back and likes to have class discussions over the textbook and that is mostly how you get in class points.

Mr. P was a GREAT teacher! I never had an A in an English course until I took him. He's VERY helpful and if you do the work, you'll pass his class. He cares a lot about his students learning the material and is a great person overall. I definitely recommend him!

Great Professor!! I worked very hard in this class.He was very helpful. He takes extra time to meet with his students to go over your work and offers suggestions for you to better your grade. He follows his syllabus, which I loved (some instructors don't). I would highly recommend him.

He was awful. He likes to make you feel stupid. His grading sucks, overall his ability to teach lacks. He needs to quit teaching and go do something somewhere where only he has to deal with himself. DO NOT TAKE HIM.

Comment:

He was a good teacher, I came into his class a week late and was able to still catch up and he was very helpful. Eng 104 is a portfolio class so a major part of your grade is the portfolio but he works with you to make sure its done. He grades off what you've done and how far you progressed. I great teacher and taken him for 108 :)

Comment:

his grading processes is very bias. his meetings with you are just to downgrade you and make you feel stupid. his lectures were about 10 mins of discussion followed by 40 mins of busywork. it seems like he was picked on ridiculed as a child. your entire grade is based on one major assignment.

Comment:

Professor P. was a good teacher!! I did not like English and still do not like English but Pro. P makes it fun. Most of the time you use all 50 minutes in the class but it's college, you should use the whole class period. There is a lot of writing and a lot of reading but he makes it interesting. Very understaning and easy to work with. TAKE HIM

Comment:

Class periods are filled with worthless debates over morals and ethics, and they are packed too full with confusing tasks. His guidance on how to write essays is pathetic, and is more about telling you that your paper sucks, but hopefully you can save it. Don't expect a good grade unless you're his pet.

I had Mr. P when he taught high school. He's not an easy A, but the classes were always creative, fun, and informative. If you want to learn and not just float by, take his class.
