My favorite professor! He is super sweet and loves what he does. If you pay attention and do what he asks, you will receive a good grade. He grades things easy and gives you awesome feedback. You have to keep up and follow along with him or you will be lost and behind. It's a lot of writing but its enjoyable writing. You will learn a lot!

Comment:

Mr. Landy is a great professor. There is a lot of writing (as expected in a composition course). One thing I loved about his class is students would have the option to turn in a draft of their paper, he would make corrections, and then you were able to revise for a final grade. This greatly helped my writing. I recommend anyone to take his class.

Mr. Landy is a great professor. He is very easy to talk to and get help on your papers. He is very strict with his papers though. He is a tough grader. But as long as you ask questions and listen to what he expects from you, then you should be fine.

He is such a nice man who is very understanding. He will break you down and build you back up in your writing skills. Writing is terrible and tends to ramble on A LOT. But overall a great professor.

Comment:

Mr. Landy after the first few assignments is an amazing teacher. He grades harshly, but very fair, and he will not hesitate to stop reading if your text is not good. He does sort of ramble on though with what feels like to just run the clock, and his handwriting was down right impossible to read. Though he was INCREDIBLY helpful if you speak to him

I enjoy having this my frist semester as a freshmen. He was very helpful when working on essays. He is a very nice guy. I like when he would try to help motitvate students to be a strong writer. He sometimes would give me a hard time but in the long run, he made learn how to be a good writer. I really RECOMMEND having this professor. He is awesome.

Comment:

Mr. Landy was a great professor. I wasn't confident as a writer going into the class and he changed that. He constantly helped me when I asked for it and showed me how to be a strong writer. I actually learned something i nhis class and do not regret taking him. The longest paper is only 4-5 pages.

He is very scattered and not organized at all. Rambles a lot and expects you to know what is going on in class. Gives lots of work and assigns lots of papers. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IF CONFUSED EASILY.

Comment:

Landy is strange. At first. You have to look past his eccentricities. He's a great professor, and willing to help to no end as long as you show your desire to learn. He gives a LOT of work. Journals, multiple drafts, and multiple peer reviews per paper. But you'll be a lot better off because of it.

Mr. Landy is a great teacher if you want to learn and get better at writing. If you only seek to get an easy A, you should probably take another teacher. But overall he is a real sweetheart and will do anything to help you out.

Great professor! Very intelligent and extremely helpful. His lectures tend to be a bit dragged out, but you will learn a lot. Will do anything in his power to help you as long as you show up and try to succeed. Got an A- in both ENG 101 and 102. Great guy!

Comment:

I thought Mr. Landy was a good instructor although I understand why some people would not like him. He does give a large amount of busy work, which would be beneficial to a very inexperienced writer. The bottom line is basically this: You'll either love him or you'll hate him.

If you plan on taking english 102 and want to walk away with your moneys worth... Landy is not for you. His class is filled with meaningless busy work and pointless assignments that lack any sense of direction toward any knowledge that should be gained in the class.

Comment:

There was a lot of busy work; some of which was superfluous. However, I felt that, overall, he was a great instructor. If you do exactly what he says, you will get a good grade. He's very willing to help if you ask. He also has a euphoric charisma, which helps break the tension during lectures. If you don't mind some extra work, it's an easy grade.

Comment:

He's a great person, and is helpful if you just ask. The biggest problem with his class is the busy work, he gives WAY too much of it. So if you don't like writing 30 journal entries about stupid things, don't take his class.
