Dr. Greer is an amazing professor. He is very personable and I enjoyed going to his classes. The workload is not overwhelming at all, and Dr. Greer makes his expectations for the course clear right off the bat. He knows his stuff and is super easy to talk to.

I've taken three classes with Dr. Greer, and am currently taking a fourth. He's a great professor. Very clear in his expectations, and really focuses on ways to improve learning. I've had him both online and in-person and he's great either way. In fact, probably the most organized online classes I've ever taken (and I've taken quite a few).

Comment:

Literary Analysis with Greer is SO BORING. Most of the people in my class were Education majors, and they liked to complain about how much they didn't want to be there. They thought the information wasn't relevant to them. Greer has a tendency to talk in a monotone voice, and he can be very abrasive at times. Easy A, but don't recommend.

I have had Professor Greer for two classes. One in which I recieved a B and the other an A. Both classes were hard but with good study habits and professor interaction they were easy to pass. I highly recommend this professor!

Comment:

Great novels chosen for the class, most were fun to read, but a few were a little complicated. Requires 10 discussion board posts a week, which may be difficult to keep up with if you are taking a full load. Does not make lesson plans ahead of time, so you can not work ahead if needed.

Comment:

By far one of the best English Professors at TWU. He really is there to help each student reach their best work. Every one really WANTS to work hard because of the way he presents the material. I definitely had to work for the grade but you will leave his class with so much new information. Highly recommended.

I loved Dr. Greer's courses and learned quite a bit in them. I'm an older grad student and I've found him nothing but intelligent, approachable, and fair. Would take him again and again and again.

Comment:

I was one of Dr. G's older students and a grad student as well. Not only did he not fear or avoid me, but he was extrememly helpful, kind, and always took time to assist me in my education. I will forever be grateful for his wisdom, time, and advice. I've never seen any other behavior from him towards anyone. He's an excellent teacher and mentor.

Comment:

Dr. Greer is most definitely not afraid of older students! Many students in the Eng program are non-traditional students, especially in the grad programs. He works well with students of ALL ages. He is very helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. You will learn a lot from Dr. Greer. TWU is lucky to have him.

This class is not called "Grammar Boot Camp" for no reason! It is a tough class, but if you can survive it, you can survive anything! Dr. Greer is an awesome professor -- one of the best at TWU. You won't regret taking his class, and you will definitely learn Grammar and Composition. You won't ever forget grammar rules again!

Dr. Greer Rocks! His Adv Grammar & Comp class is no walk in the park, but you learn more about grammar than you ever have in your life. Dr. Greer is organized and very helpful. Voted best on-line teacher in 2006.

Comment:

(Lit Analysis & Grammer/Comp. & also ENG4333 World Lit-all online) 1st 2 classes not too bad, but I think he ignored some of my missing discussions, so got lucky there. Hard to rate him online. Wasn't really great, but wasn't bad. ENG 4333-awful!-but only because it was very challenging for me-I may have done better in person. Seems passionate.

Dr. Greer is one of the best instructors at TWU. I wish he would only spend time with graduate students instead of wasting his talent with undergrads who don't appreciate knowledge.

Great teacher. Funny, engaging class discussions. We read some very interesting works and I enjoyed the class even though it was at 8am. The short stories were from a variety of writers so if you want to expand your mind, sign up!
