Great teacher who cares about his students. English, no matter how you slice it, is boring. Thus, suck it up buttercup and do the best you can.

Nice guy, helpful, easy, don't need book, hard to stay focused, he reads from the book in a monotone voice. But easy grader and helpful, will review your work before you turn it in.

Comment:

This guy made me fall asleep a few times in class. He can be boring, since he reads the book work for word. There are three 2 page essays and one 7 page research paper. He is very lenient in his grading and even takes in late work a few weeks after. Show up to class and try not to fall asleep, listen and write some decent essays. PROOF READ!

He's a really nice man, but VERY monotone. It's hard to stay focused, but he's a very easy grader. No quizzes or tests, just a few papers. The book is definately helpful. Easy A!

Mr.McKenna is a really sweet man who cares about his students. He knows what he is talking about. He may seem boring but if you do your work you will definately recieve an A. Before you know it the class will be over so i would stick with this teacher. No test, no quizzes,just a few papers.

Comment:

Get some sleep the night before class because you will fall asleep for sure if you don't. If you manage to stay awake and put some real effort into your work then you should do just fine. He's very easy to talk to and he'll help you if you need it. He'll even look at your rough draft and help you make corrections before you turn it in.

Comment:

This teacher is the most boring professor I've ever had but he is so kind that it makes you want to pay attention. He pretty much reads you out of the book what kind of papers he wants from you. You can work on them in class and his lectures get shorter and shorter throughout the semester. I think he grades easy for English teacher. Buy the book!

If you're looking for an easy A+ he's your man. You can easily work on other work while in that class. He is extremely boring but it doesn't matter in the end when you get the easy A.

I took Prof. McKenna's Technical Writing class. His lectures, I'm sorry to say, were sleep inducing however, if you read the book over the chapters he specifies and follow the instructions therein you WILL get a good grade. :)

He was the easiest teacher ive had in the past two years. VERY VERY VERY EXTREMELY BORING, but easy A. Do your work and youll get an A. So glad i took him for the mini, i wouldnt have survived in a long boring semister with him. I came to class to sign in, sat there for 1 hour and left everyday. TAKE HIM FOR THE A!!!!!!

Comment:

This guy is Ben Stein on barbituates. Seriously. But very dedicated and seems sort of passionate (in his sloth-like way) about, well.. tech writing (how?). Far too easy though, got a whole lot of nothing out of the class. If that's what you're looking for, knock your lights out.
