Comment:

Very picky teacher; wants homework and assignments a certain way or he'll take away points but not very helpful when asking for help on assignments. Made some interesting remarks but his teaching style was terrible in comparison. I worked hard on the course but barely managed to get a C; he retired 2 years ago, though, so he's not an option now.

Best English teacher out there. Class may be considered tough by others but this teacher inspires you to learn, he focuses more on your content and what you have to say. Too bad he retired :(

Took a class with him and learned a lot from him. Class could not be that bad, but since I was still learning english, it was challenging. I would recommend him if you really want to learn. He is a helpful professor who knows the material and responds emails promptly. He cares for his students and help me transfer to a 4 year college.

worse teacher ever! he thinks hes funny but is really boring!! his material is so difficult to understand due to him not knowing how to explain also, when you ask for help he tells you the exact same thing you didn't understand! I hated his class

One of, if not THE, best teacher I have ever had. So inspirational, and cares so much about his students and their learning. Yes expect homework, but gives 2 weeks to redo work that was done wrong or did not meet expectations. You really will get so much out of his class, even if you dont pass you will become much more knowledgeable. Very smart man

He kind of reminds me of my younger days... Some parts of it. I was able to connect with him. He does a good job; I don't see much need for improvement or anything. I failed his class because I kept being lazy. I don't like the subject of English. Overall, there's nothing wrong with him.

Mr. Rapp is one of the best professors I've ever had. Took him for the winter session and it was tough, but he will schedule appointments with you to make sure you get it right. He gives unlimited tries on homework to get full credit as long as you do it on time and he offers extra credit. And his lectures are fun.

Weekly quizzes on a short reading. Gives you a chance to re-do work. Easy A if you're willing to work hard.

Comment:

Mr. Rapp is very passionate teacher and encourages the best out of his students. But assigns homework very often and if not done correctly he will return it for you to work on it again until done right. This overflowed me with work because i had to work on new assignments AND correct my old ones before the two week limit he gives to redo are up.

If you want to take an easy class, don't take this class. If u actually want to learn he is an amazing teacher. He explains everything clearly and u will know exactly what to expect. If you pay attention you will get so much out of his class. He is always available when you need help too. Great teacher!!!

There is a quiz every week about the book we were supposed to read. The book was hard to understand (old English). When someone turns in homework, and it is not how he wants it to be, he will return you the homework and you have to do it again. I had to do the same homework like 5 times before getting credit for it.

He's a great teacher. He will explain assignments and then review the next class meeting. Quizzes are weekly on the reading and you have to be specific . He gives extra credit. He really cares about his students and is always available through email and in his office. You have to work for your grade but he truly cares about his students and funny

He talks a lot, but it helps because he will explain things in great detail so you are not confused on assignments. He cares about his students. He is very funny and will make you laugh a few times a class. It is a refreshing class to take because other professors are just reading lectures all day. Great teacher!!!! Easy class

Comment:

This was my last English class and I thought I would be able to learn more about the English language, but ohh surprise he had us read a really boring book that I didn't even understand. Then we had to a ten page essay which he does give a lot of time to write, but if you can look for another teacher.

Great instructor. Really focused on students learning overall. Was generous in redoing failed assignments and gave great feedback on the written assignments. If you expect an easy grade, take another course. If you want to learn and increase your ability to write, then this course is for you.
