Comment:

I took this as an online class. This is an easy class to pass just make sure to do post discussions and do the assignments each week. No lecture and you just follow laid out steps to finish work. He provides the e-book for free. Only downside is he is slow to answer emails or post grades.

Comment:

RSCH1203 was easy but he does not clearly answer any questions. Instead he replies sarcastically as if you should already know. i wouldn't recommend if you are taking a more complex course where you will regularly need guidance from your professor.

Comment:

There was a lot of reading, that was expected. I took this class online and was disappointed. The instructor did not post any feedback in the discussion boards, so you never knew if you were on the right track. The testing felt as if this were a history class and not a literature class. It was a free for all and no one seemed sure of assignments.

Comment:

For someone who does not like to write this online class was not easy. You have to write a lot of papers about things that are not that interesting.He does not answer emails which is hard with it being the only way to communicate.The book is not used that often a used book will do.Overall I did learn new ways to write.

Comment:

Summer 2010-you write a minimum 600-800 words a week, plus the essays. This is online English-you write and write, but no complaints on grading or subjects which were interesting to write on. He is an experienced PhD writer, you can?t fool him, and he likes sincere writing with good grammar to do well.

*Continuation of Last Post* Yes, he takes a while to return grades and assignments, only because he has his own life to live and he works for yahoo sports and an Atlanta magazine company. Dont Believe me? you can google him and find him on wikapedia. AWESOME TEACHER! BEST ONLINE TEACHER! would recommend to anyone who is looking for an easy A!!

Comment:

Professor Busbee is the EASIEST teacher I have taken at GPC. 4 major papers, and weekly journals that he only checks to see if you have done it. I walked out of the class with an A in english1101 and took 1102 with him and also walked out with an A. NOTHING HARD ABOUT IT! JUST DO YOUR WORK! GUARANTEED A!!!!!

I took Prof. Busbee's class online, and though he required a lot of writing, it was a very good class. Anytime he deducted points from my papers he would email me explaining where I went wrong, what he liked, what he didn't like, and ALWAYS ended the email with a word of encouragement! great professor!!!

Mr. Busbee is a great teacher. He does reply to emails in a timely fashion. There is a lot of reading and writing in this class, but if you DO THE WORK you will pass. He does grade fairly and will give feedback if ASKED. I would recommend him to any student!

Great teacher, but he does not readily give A's on the 4 paper's and final exam for the semester. The weekly journals are a no brainer. Do it and you automatiocally get 100% just by follwing basic essay rules.

I am usually a 4.0 student... this instructor was the worst I have ever had. He is very slow to grade your assignments. At mid-term... I honestly did not know how I was doing. He grades VERY hard. Gives alot of writing assignments. I would NEVER recommend him to anyONE!In fact... I reported him to the Dean. Unprofessional !!! Don't take him!

He gives a lot of writing and reading. His paper assignment is not easy and don't expect a high grade on paper assignment. He always find excuses as to why it takes him a long time to grade the papers. Think deep before taking his class.

Also took the online summer class. He does take forever to grade, not really sure how I did. Journal grades are easy, papers are not. Cool most of the semester and then compounded 3 writing assignments for final week. Must be easier for 1101.

He's a good, but very hard teacher. Lots of work!! I took the online class and did well, but really had to work for my B. I got extra feedback when I specifically requested it. I would still take him again.

Comment:

Don't take the online class. I'm taking the condensed summer class and he takes forever to grade anything, so you have no idea how you're doing. Interaction is minimal, emails and responses take forever. Journal grades are easy, however papers are another matter. Doesn't give many A's. Maybe in person he's better? Don't get the positive reviews!

Comment:

I took his online ENGL 1102 course. He did not grade over half of the coursework until the very last day. His journal assignments were easy "A"'s. His writing assignments were tough. Especially since no feedback is given until the final grade is given at the end!!! I did well, but many did not. I would never take him again.

Comment:

GREAT TEACHER!!! I am going to take him next semester. My writing has really improved since taking his class. My only problem is that he is a slow grader. We have a lot of papers and journals that have not been graded yet. Other than that I would tell ANYONE to take his class. You will learn so much and get a good grade out of it as well. TAKE HIM!
