Seriously the best prof at pierce. He's 10000% clear on what he wants from you. Not tough class if you just listen to what he wants & replicate it. He gives you so many options for your papers. Participate when you can (he won't ever call you out though). He's extremely smart, interesting, funny, and chill! 10/10 would take him again.

Had him for a winter semester. Schilf is a great teacher and I vibe with this guy on a spiritual level. He has multiple opportunities for extra credit. He has great analysis and I genuinely enjoyed going to his lectures. However he holds everyone to the same standards and you wont get very much pity if English is your second language.

Great Prof. Gives great feedback & helps you understand English differently. He is super STRICT with attendance, sometimes he's late but if you're only a min late you're gonna get docked points. There's so much reading and quizzes, then writing essays relating to it. Only recommend if you're a strong reader/writer or an ENG major.

As an English major I pretty much love all of my english professors, but he was especially cool. He gives great feedback is great at explaining things and makes you think a lot, which most people don't like, but I do so I appreciated it.

Easy class yet very very tough grader, he's hilarious and very cool person but It was very difficult to please him on exactly what he wanted in the essays. More than half of the class dropped out.

English is my strong subject, but I usually find english not ever challenging and sometimes dry or boring. No not this one. Lots of good humor during his lectures and he really strives to see an improvement in all his students. Loved this english class! Just give a hoot and a he will see that

The best english professor i've ever had. Enjoyed his class a lot. If you work hard, he'll take note of it and help you improve your grade. Only about 3-5 out of 30 students will get an A. I use to hate english classes; but loved this one. Miss his off-topic, but interesting, lectures and humor.

To be honest, Professor Schilf has got to be one of the best professors I've had this past semester. While he does assign a lot of homework (assigned one day, due the next), it's very straightforward and clear; no surprises. He's very thorough in his lectures and will always clarify any questions about the assignments. I would highly recommend!

Excellent teacher. If you do the assignments and participate you'll be totally fine. He does give extra credit if you show good workmanship on your assignments. Participate! He's a tough grader but he's FAIR! I didn't get very good grades on my essays but my workmanship was what got me the grade I wanted. He does go off track sometimes tho.

Amazing professor. His lectures (although sometimes steered off topic, who cares anyways) were always interesting. This man actually managed to turn a dull subject into something worth listening to. This doesn't mean it's a breeze. As long as you read, pay attention in class, and turn in work, getting a solid B will be completely and utterly simple

had him for english 21! He was amazing! yes he is a tough grader on grammar but it really teaches you how to improve your grammar. He reviewed before every test to make sure we understood and gave us answers to things that were not understood in the class. Yes he is sometimes all over the place but its all related to english!

His lectures and assignments makes you work on being a better writer and critical thinker. His lectures are interesting and the books we have read are interesting too. When it comes to essays, just make sure to follow the format he gives and follow the feedback that he (and the other students) give and you'll be alright.
