Comment:

Prof. Phillips has definitely won my heart. I took both ENC 1101 and ENC 1102 during my dual enrollment time and he definitely made me excited for what is next. Lots of quizzes online, About 2-3 Essays, a relatively easy final for ENC 1101 and a final research paper for 1102. Great guy, with a giant heart!

Comment:

He was my favorite teacher all year. He is halarious, which makes his class more comfortable and takes the edge off. He gives tons of extra credit, so there really is no excuse for failing. Just make sure you turn in your work on time, and if you don't like your score, there is ALWAYS extra credit. I would definetly take him again.

Comment:

He's very quirky, walks around barefoot, makes nicknames for you. extra credit is a game! 2 big essays, and just enough homework. not horrible if you ASK QUESTIONS. I had never heard of MLA, and he was caring enough to give me places and people to help me. 1 group project, and don't be afraid to sing. Overall great professor.

if you are decent at English already, itll be easy for you. If you struggle, this class might be a lot for you but you will definitely learn. Dont worry about buying the book, he provides the readings. He gives a lot of tedious work in the beginning but towards the end there is barely any work. There is only one test, the final, which is easy.

Wow, he was absolutely terrible. Made an English class so much harder than it needed to be. He doesn't put in grades on time, so you NEVER know where you're at. When he does want to put grades in - he doesn't give you feedback, more or less just a zero or a 70-80. He is by far the worst professor I have ever taken.

Comment:

If you are good writing, it will be an easy A. However, if you are not that good, you won't learn anything because he is really bad with feedback. There are some group projects, and one of them is a singing one, so if you don't sing properly he will give you a bad grade ( 200 points). The final exam is a 1500 word essay on a Documented Research.

Comment:

Hes a really easy-going professor. Hes pretty engaging and wants to include everyone to participate. The work itself is pretty easy and straightforward. But do make sure you complete them and turn them in on time. I took him for both Comp classes and I did just fine. If you really want to pass, I suggest this professor.

Comment:

Professor Neal Phillips was over all an easier grader. Whenever we had an assignment involving the textbook he had the passages available for us to use. So if you are taking this online you don't need to buy the book. He graded the few essays fairly easy. There was a lot of extra credit. The pre test is the exact same as the final.

Good assignments but he never grades on time so I never knew which direction to progress or what to improve on. Winter term ended with assignments from a month and a half ago still not graded. This is not right. But he does give a ton of extra credit assignments. Still this doesn't make up for the above.

Good amount of writing assignments. Do you work according to the grading criteria and you'll be good. Worked full time and 2 other classes and got an A.

Dr Phillips it is a great professional, but I did not feel like a learned a lot in his class, He cancel a lot of class, and do not give a good feedback on essays. But you can count on extra credit opportunities and group projects.

He did not grade anything, he did respond to all of my emails. Found out in atlas when grades were due what my grade was, he deleted everything off canvas so you can not go back in verify if he did grade anything.

I loved Prof. Phillips class this semester. I admit, he wasn't there every day (personal reasons) but the class was enjoyable. The Pre-Test and the Final are exactly the same. There are several essays throughout the class but are pretty easy. Prof. is very caring and he really wants you to succeed. He's also really funny and teased students often.

Took this class online. One discussion each week and a few reading questions. He posts each story we read on Canvas. Only 2 essays. He does have us work in groups. He takes a long time to grade but I've gotten 100s on everything that's been graded. Very easy grader. It takes awhile for him to email back, but most of his work is straightforward.

TAKE HIM. End of the semester & a lot has not been graded (online class). 100's on everything that has been graded. Composition is my best subject so this class was a breeze. Classmates struggled, however. Nice professor, takes bit to reply to emails. He's an easy A. Not sure if he really truly "grades" anything, or just gives out A's.

This professors is possibly the worst professor one can have. I feel like he's out to get you sometimes he bombards you with work and at times he just continuously gives you the same thing to do. I will not be using him for Enc 1101

Comment:

I took Phillips for the spring semester. I have to say that his class was amazing. Highly encouraged group work and analysis on how poems in the old days relate to nowadays. He will make you sing so if you're a bit shy, be prepared. Overall, he's a nice dude and an even better teacher.

Comment:

Professor Phillips course online was easier than any high school course I ever even took. The only complaint I have is that he never graded any of the assignments that had to be hand graded. On the very last day of the course there was still nothing put in. Good for an A, not if you are really wanting to learn and get feedback.
