Comment:

I took him for World Lit and it was an easy A class, he even says so himself. Just show up, do the discussions and blogs, and the quizzes are easy. No tests. The midterm and final are either blogs or a project. He is a super cool guy and is really passionate about what he does. Also, offers extra credit. Provides coffee during class. 10/10

Very good teacher. You have to buy all the books he says, because you will use them. You write blogs and do projects, no tests. It was interesting material and an overall easy A. Love the class and I would take it again in a heartbeat.

Good teacher on some subject; absolutely horrible teacher on others. Extremely easy to pass just show up to class and have everything done and it is impossible to fail. Also says he is open minded but won't open to something he doesn't like.

Excellent professor. Easy class, but if you put time and effort into it, you'll learn and grow a lot. Andy is out there, but I have grown a lot because of him. Super helpful and friendly.

Comment:

one of the few teachers at tech who made class interesting and actually wanting to attend class. all you have to do is two papers and write some blogs/discussions and a poem. he gives a lot of extra credit too, i made a 104 in his class! I'd recommend him for any english class

Comment:

Very nice guy in front of the class. Fantastic lecturer. He grades for the person, meaning if he knows you're smart, he grades harder. He covers the books in class, if you don't read them. He encourages people to meet with him individually, but I do not recommend it. He acts like you're a burden on his time and rarely has anything positive to say.

Comment:

He seems incredible while he stands behind the podium, but when you have him one on one he has absolutely no time for you if he feels threatened by your presence. I have similar political ideas as this guy so it's not as if I'm off put by that like others. My issue is that he has the biggest ego on campus. Avoid working with him outside of class.

Comment:

As an engineering major, I was dreading lit. Andy Smith really made it enjoyable! It was totally worth getting up for an 8 am 3 days a week just to go to his class. As long as you do the required blogs and put forth some effort you'll get an A. TAKE HIM!!

I took Andy for English 1010, 1020, and American Literature. Just do all the mandatory work(blogs and discussion posts) and meet with him every so often for a paper. If you can hold a conversation with someone, you can coax your way straight into an A. Great instruction for each assignment as well.

I had Andy Smith for English 1010 and 1020, and I had a blast. If you get in a class with good people, you'll have fun! Work hard, and act like your life revolves around this class, revise essays and you will get an A. DEFINITELY sign up for voluntary workshops!

Comment:

I had him for 1010 and 1020, and you have to come to class and write all the blogs. But it isn't hard at all. Just do your work and you will be fine. He helps you with your papers to make sure they are the best they can be. The only grade you have is your portfolio that has 2 papers in it. Good teacher, I recommend him!

Andy is easy and very helpful. As long as you do the work an trn it in on time the lowest grade you can get is a C. You do a lot of writing but you will learn a ton from him. Highly suggest Andy because the knowledge is priceless.

I hade him for both English 1010 and 1020. He is very helpful and passionate about what he does. The main thing you need to do is come to class, and let him know that you're interested in what you are doing.

Comment:

He is okay, His grading, is odd. + or - on all daily work, and a research project. All papers receive letter grades. You get an A B C based on his criteria of what that "is". I was not his biggest fan. Proceed with caution, He is kind of a no B.S. zone.

Mr. Andy was a great professor. His main requirements are due all your requirered work and SHOW UP TO CLASS. He was very helpful to the whole class, and if you put in a little effort an A or B will be garenteed.

Comment:

Mr. Andy Golden Rule: show up in class and do all of your assigned work. That's basically it. Mr. Andy loves it when you get in-your-face argumentative in papers, so pick topics you care about. Mr. Andy's a good teacher and devoted to his class - if you you fail, it's because you went out of your way to.
