Comment:

Iverson is not bad at all! I will say that he is one of the English teachers I actually learned from. Participation matters because he will call you up to the board and ask to find or fix something, so pay close attention in class. Also he does keep a sign in sheet for everyone who is there and who is there and who is not, it is harder to catch up

Comment:

Iverson was one of the best Professors I have ever had. The class seemed a little challenging in the beginning, but as long as you do the work and participate in class you will do very well. He is very clear with what he wants done, and he actually wants you to learn it. He actually cared for his students, and wanted them all to succeed.

Comment:

Thoroughly enjoyed his class my first semester. Very intimidating at times, but the topics that are discussed, he quizzes you on and goes back to them to review them throughout the term. He is very knowledgeable and the class discussions were always interesting. He makes you think and always wants participation. His class is worth taking.

Comment:

Professor Iverson is a hilarious, down to earth and highly intelligent guy. He uses a variety of teaching methods and you can learn a lot if you pay attention. If you show respect and participate in class, you will definitely be on his good side. Multiple papers are assigned but not graded. The final project and exam basically determine your grade.

Comment:

Iverson is a great professor if you are comfortable with English and are willing to participate. A lot of students in my class failed because they chose to talk the whole hour and expected him to keep track of when they turned in their papers and homework. He is very kind and will have insightful conversation after class. He does not use canvas.

Comment:

Do not take this professor. You will write papers and not get them back, so who knows if they were graded. Your whole grade is based on the final. It was a difficult final. Many students struggled on the final. Disappointed I took this professor.

Comment:

Avoid this professor at all costs, the homework you receive never returns to you nor gets graded. Professor Iverson estimates your grade at the end of the semester it isnt based off of your assignments l. If you fail the final you fail the whole course as well, 60% of my class failed the final so he had to apply a curve. Save yourself and avoid.

Comment:

His heart is in the right place under all the strange and sometimes borderline offensive remarks. I received a high grade but was only one of a couple in the whole class, I worked extremely hard for this grade though. Strange class. Final is very difficult, many people studied hard and did not do well. Its doable if you participate daily and study

He tells you to buy the textbook but we only used it once the whole semester. Gives pop quizzes quite often and doesnt give grades back. I havent recieved any of my past papers back with grades and its finals week. He is funny and makes class interesting!

Great professor, with a witty sense of humor. Took his class for a few English courses and was not disappointed. There is much to learn from this amazing professor. I strongly recommend him to anyone who dreads (or loves) English

Hes a very caring and intelligent teacher. As long as you pay attention, show interest, and are respectful in his class, he will do the same for you. He does not post grades on canvas and you cannot pass the class if you dont mass the final. However, his final is simple and so is the class

He's very funny, he makes the curriculum clear, also his random pop quizzes can be easy just by paying attention to class. He made a English fun, if only every English professor was him.

He's a good teacher. He didn't return many assignments back to my class so I had no clue how I was doing in the class. Still managed to get an A- though. Vague but entertaining. The group project is fun. Just be ready to be doing it for a few weeks.

Comment:

Participation is really important in his class. My advice is to speak freely whether you're right or wrong; he will appreciate your invoice either way. It's not difficult to do well as long as you study the material he teaches and use correct grammar. He's a great guy with good intentions - don't take his remarks personally. My favorite professor.

Gets off topic a lot Fun guy, but for a comp class there is very little writing involved which did not prepare me for comp 2. No structured syllabus which can be frustrating for those who like to plan ahead.

Comment:

He is entertaining in every way, but he is very vague with his assignments. He doesn't have a clear format for the work he wants done. He does a good job of making his lecture material simple to understand. Outgoing and quirky, but in all good ways. Attendance is mandatory. Papers are easy but instructions are vague. Grammar matters.

He has no syllabus and teaches you things that have nothing to do with english more on the lines of arguments and politics. I would not recommend him and I'm an all A student and got a C.
