Comment:

I had Professor Woehler for ENC1102 and LIT1000, he tells funny stories and explains what he expects well, but I didn't enjoy the stories he wanted us to read, and he does grade really hard on the papers. I was a pretty good writer through high school but he made me feel like I overestimated myself and got really discouraged about my writing

Comment:

got a B plus and worked so hard on the papers. he would only help those students he liked the most or who participated the most. I felt like he made fun of me during the whole semester. You'll probably have to take it because he is the only professor teaching this course at santa fe college, try to avoid taking him . TEST ARE SUPER EASY, papers not

Hes funny and nice, but his lectures are boring and he doesnt really teach you how to write good papers. Didnt learn anything from this class. It was just 3 papers and your whole grade comes from that. Hes too laid back he comes off as sloppy. Avoid

Prof Woehler is the best Professor i've ever had. Easy class to pass as long as you show up to class and type your 3 papers for the course.

Comment:

The worst professor I had at Santa Fe. He did not teach. He just stood at the front and told stories. When you go to ask for help, your not really going to get any. IMO he's way too pretentious for someone who teaches at a community college.

Comment:

You will only do 3-4 papers for the semester and these are essentially your only grades. He is very helpful and gives fantastic feedback on your essays. You can only have 3 absences without losing credit but for the minimal amount of work required it's so worth it.

Comment:

I liked Professor Woehler, I just wasn't prepared for the fact that my entire grade would come from 3-4 papers. If you are fantastic at writing papers, then this is a breeze. If not, I suggest you look for a different 1102 class that will give you a variety of assignments. He does assign weekly reading questions but he does not grade them.

Comment:

This class is the worst class that i've taken in college. He hates technology and wont post when things are due or at least put them in the syllabus so you have to guess. Doesn't cover over things for tests spends most of the time saying lame joke or blabbering on about nothing Journalism related. Wouldn't recommend.

Comment:

His ENC1102 class is not difficult. His grading is not harsh and if you show up to class and do your homework, which is not much at all, you'll pass. The bad thing about his class is that he REPEATS everything he says. It's like listening to a CD stuck on the same track every lecture. Other then that,he's a nice guy that wants you to succeed.

Comment:

The lectures are him reading over the literary pieces line by line, sometimes multiple times. The papers aren't necessarily hard, but do yourself a favor and edit them 4-5 times, like he asks. Attend his office hours and get him to correct your paper. This made all the difference! Participating makes the time go by much faster!

He challenges you yet doesn't forget the importance of encouragement. Woehler really cares about his students and tries to get to know them from day one. He gave us 3 papers for our entire grade, which I rather appreciated. I always looked forward to his class, and I'm sad I won't have him again.

Comment:

I don't understand all the dislike for Professor Woehler. He is an excellent English teacher, and his grades are very fair. If you do not write well, he is more than happy to show you your mistakes. I guess people don't like him because he expects you to pay attention to your mistakes and actively correct them. Take him if you love English.

Comment:

Professor Woehler says you get 3 absences and he means it. If you miss anymore your grade will drop a letter. He is funny, but we don't really learn anything. He doesn't teach you HOW to write correctly, he just EXPECTS you to write correctly. It's a shame that there is only one professor for journalism at Santa Fe. Also go to office hours.

No tests ever, just 4 papers all 1,000words. Miss More then 3 classes might as well withdraw. Lectures are kinda boring but he is humorous. Don't do hw? Get ready for "quiz mode" do hw your all good. Grades papers harshly so pay attention to what he asks for.

Comment:

He thinks he is better than everyone else. There is always something wrong with everything you write. I'd never made anything below an A on a college paper. I made a C on the 1st paper in this class. He talks about useless nonsense that makes you want to bang your head on the wall the entire class. Unless you have to have journalism, dont take him.

One of the most pretentious people I have ever met. If you want to sit in class and listen to this guy blabber about irrelevant stories, then BE MY GUEST! He goes into specific details when talking about hypothetical situations and we really don't do anything in class!

Comment:

He was condesending and lectures were boring. Want to learn grammar rules you learned in seventh grade all over again? Go to class, which by the way is mandatory. Really tough grader- went to office hours and got almost no grade improvement on the next essay (and little to no clarity on how you got the grade you got).

Mr. Woehler is the most boring and irritating professor I have ever had. All he does is analyze the most boring stories with this horrible monotonous voice. He grades essays like his life depends on it. Not even sure how I was able to pass this class.

The guy is an intelligent dude but good lord, he is probably the absolute most monotonous professor I've ever had. Same exact thing every single day... Attendance is strict which is unfortunate because his classes are pointless unless you're turning something in that day. Basically you just sit and listen to him analyze paragraphs, day after day.
