Great teacher! Very clear grading and easy homework. Runs an interesting meditation class. Most reading and assignments are based on books he wrote. Need to be for the organized the entire course. Easy A with all the extra credit he offers or you aren't trying. You can actually learn writing and critical thinking too. Show up, do the work, get an A

Comment:

If youre good at writing essays youll get an easy A. If youre not good at writing essays, look elsewhere. You wont get higher than a C. This is Wallis 101. You will only learn about the professor and his life. Most of the books you read are even written by him. You learn nothing except that he cusses every ten minutes. This is not English 101

Heres the real run down: nice (sometimes depends on the day and mood, he will make sure you're aware he is in a bad mood tho)... makes the class read his books (not so interesting but manageable)... Essay based class, gives a lot of extra credit, however if you did good in HS class isn't challenging. If you didn't, class is challenging.

Comment:

Pros - Nothing. Cons - non-stop cursing in class, doesn't go by course outline, adds work, walks around barefoot - unclean, moody, has to read his stories, poems, and buy his books, does not give good feedback, in class discussions best if you agree with him, lets you know if he dislikes your story for whatever reason and sometimes no reason.

Comment:

He was funny and knew what he was talking about. Although, if youre taking notes and you ask him to repeat what he just said, he wouldnt remember and respond with, I have no f clue what I just said. Sometimes during class, hed take his sandals off and walk around class barefoot, and that bothered me a bit, but to each his own, I guess.

Sometimes he's a little off with his attitude, but he's a brilliant professor. Learned a lot! Also read some really interesting books!! Allows you to rewrite essays you did poorly on. At the end of the semester, he collects your class notes and all the essays with the revisions. You can rewrite the essays until you get the grade you want!

He is absolutely amazing. He only gives four papers the last one is your in class final. All you have to do is take notes every class and turn it in end of semester for grading. One journal entry per week one page write whatever you want. Easy grader and super fun lectures. He choose really interesting stories to go over so your never bored.

Professor Wallis is a wonderful gentleman. I took his night class for Spring 2017 and I learned a lot from him. Make sure to have your books with you all the time. Essays are easy as long as you listen and take notes. Do not turn in work late, Wallis will not always accept late work. The final is simple, it's research. Take it, it's a fun class!

This is a professor who truly cares about his students. Attendance matters GREATLY to him though, so if you know you will be missing more than two days... don't even enroll in his course. He's always willing to give you the materials needed to succeed, and wants to see everyone finish with top notch grades. Absolutely phenomenal, really.

I love this professor. He truly cares about his students and acknowledges the reality they face. He treats us like professionals, and isn't afraid to explore dense, complicated subject matter. He takes the pressure off of the minor aspects of class, so we are able focus on what counts- coming up with profound, beautiful things to say about lit.

Comment:

Professor Wallis is a very interesting individual. He has mood swings. He's a sweet and carrying guy, but can come off angry and frustrated. He talks a lot about himself. He is always changing subjects and sometimes doesn't really get to the point. If English is your major i don't recommend this class. overall be ready to write essays and to read.

Comment:

I took this guy's 103 class a few semesters ago, honors, and it was a joke... The class should be retitled to English W, w stands for Wallis! Because well, the class is literally entirely about him. Makes you buy books, written by him, to do assignments on... It's his own small business. Other than that it's not too hard

Comment:

Dr. Wallis is a kind and easy-going professor. The class is mostly about his personal life. Essays aren't difficult and neither is the rest of the coursework. Lots of opportunities for extra credit. The students who complain are those who don't show up or those who don't buy the required books. I would take another class with him.

Comment:

he was a narcissist and i didnt learn anything about writing. he made himself out to be the victim of all victims and the hero of all heros. lots of homework, 5 essays, 8 essay responses, notes and drafts and turned in at the end of semester. must buy all books (all written by him btw). he was a good person butfind a different professor if you can.
