Professor Besst is the best. I love his teaching style and his fairness with other students. He really digs to get the best in you. His office hours are very lenient and hes always willing to help. He assigns in class group work and projects to really help you understand the meaning of books and poems 10/10 recommend. Hes very WOKE BTW

He's the best english professor to take. Very easy and gives lots of extra credit opportunities and he's also very reliable when needing help on papers. Do the reading or you won't pass the quizzes. Sometimes he gives the opportunity to use open book (Textbook) and notes. Show up and you will pass and possibly get extra credit.

Kinda burnt I got a B, yet tried really hard for an A. Anyway, I learned so much in this class! You learn how to use commas, semicolons, singular/plural words, apostrophes, and so much more. This class made my college papers go from C's to A's. He takes his time teaching you proper English. Definitely recommend!

I highly recommend this prof. He goes over most of the homework assignments in class, so it will be very clear what you have to do for the assignments. He offers feedback, essay revisions and is very descriptive in his fun lectures. For book use, just buy or rent the reading books and keep up with the reading. Dont be lazy and stay ahead, easy A

English is not my favorite subject but he makes it very interesting and easy to understand. He gives tons of examples and helps on anything people need help on. He is a very nice guy and is easy to approach when you need additional help. He offers extra credit and keeps the class interesting. Just show up, read and do the work and you'll pass.

He really cares about his students succeeding in this course making it easy to improve your writing skills. The main things in the class are the essays. As long as you do well in the essays, you will easily pass the course. He is a very nice guy, and the topics he chooses are interesting. I def recommend David Besst. He is the BESST!

I love Professor Besst, he explained what he was asking and was always there for you. Lectures go by quickly, 1 minute class started next its been an hour and time for a break. There our a lot of quizzes, but if you read the books you will do just fine.

He's super EASY and laid back ! He gives quizzes on every chapter but he gives you the answers if you pay attention to his lectures. His grading style on essays is great! He gives you the opportunity to redo an essay if you have received a low score on it and gives you up to a 10% higher grade if you do so. He makes time fly by fast in his class.

Mr. Besst is a great instructor assignments are clearly stated and he gives you the tools necessary to succeed in the class. Show up take notes ( that you can use on tests and quizzes) and read the material and passing grade is a given.
