Comment:

I took the Maysemester 3wk course, it was very hard because he is such a strict grader when it comes to essays. He hates receiving emails and would respond very dismissive so try to avoid emailing him if you can so you can stay on his good side. When it comes to him teaching the subject of English he is very great. A lot of writing.

So, when the coronavirus shut everthing down, the class went online, and then everything got changed. Class became quizzes (really easy), online discussions (just post alot), and 2 essays. He gave good clear examples, read and commented on everyone's drafts with clear instructions and grades were good.

Comment:

He's not always easy to deal with, and can come off dismissive and kind of rude. There are quizzes every week or every other week, and you have to read the chapters on your own. Every class you're working on an assignment. He's super picky and a tough grader, but I got an A surprisingly. His humor is dry, but he isn't that bad.

Comment:

Technical Writing was the most useful class I have taken out of my major, more useful than most classes in my major. Partridge really focusses on what the writing should do for each reader. I learned more in this class than all English classes I have ever taken. We did 8 papers, but 6 were only one page or less. I did rewrites for extra credit

Comment:

I just scored a perfect 100 on his american literature test, and so did 2 others. I have never scored a 100 before, ever. He gives practice tests, and allows you to make up mini essays. Class is fun and funny and if you pay attention you can work out what will be on the test. And you dont have to buy a textbook.

Comment:

Happy that I took American Lit. to get my Humanities credit. No text book--all the readings are in CANVAS. The tests were easy, he gives practice test questions and half the class made an A. He does ask for mini-essays, but you get to choose the topics your write about. I ended up with my best English class grade I ever got.

Comment:

Took this professor for Comp 2 Maymester after taking his comp 1 course. Maymester was the best decision I've ever made! It is VERY fast paced but if you're willing to put in the work its an easy A. Allowed a rewrite on 2/3 essays and you got to chose your final topic. He is also hilarious, 100% recommend him!!!

I tried taking this class 3 times before and dropped each time because I wasn't passing. And then I took the class with Partridge. He gives so many ways of passing, all you have to do is do the work, sometimes multiple times, but he shows you how to pass. I made a B

Comment:

This guy is awesome!! If you get offended by honest feedback don't take his class, he is very honest and won't hesitate to tell you what needs to be fixed. I've learned so much in the course and highly recommend. He provides re-writes for 3/4 papers and is very involved with the class!! I'm taking him again for English composition 2.

Took American Lit. No Textbook required, all the readings were online. His tests were easy, 80% of the class made a B or better on every test, but beware that test question all come from class discussion. He does ask for 5 mini-essays (easy) and one longer paper, but it's a personal opinion paper so not hard. Good Class

Comment:

I don't recommend Gary Partridge to anybody unforchantly, because I hardly learned anything from him. When he talks to his students he is very vague, and confusing. I was failing his class for most of the semester,but it was a miracle that I passed his class last semester. Good luck.

Comment:

I took his class as a (5-wk) summer course because it was a requirement. We were required to write 3 essays in order to get an A. However, we spent so much time on the 1st essay (almost 2.5 weeks) that it was nearly impossible to get a good grade on the other 2. He also had to assign the other 2 and never got around to it. would chose other prof.

Comment:

Does not provide adequate information for the students on Essays/assignments, but expects us to have done them in a certain manner and also he didn't respond to any of my Emails. If I had to choose between taking this professor again, and waiting until the next semester for a different professor, I would wait

Comment:

Professor Partridge, was by far the worst teacher I had. He didn't help me or benefit me at all in his class. He is very strict on how he grades his assignments, unless you know English fairly well and don't need any help or guidance then his class is perfect for you. If you struggle with English a little I'd recommend a different teacher. 4/10 rec

Comment:

Very good critical-thinking class. Claas is discussion based mostly teaching you how to think about different writing styles and theories. And then the little essays become the tests of how well you learned it AFTER learning it (and not before like many essays I wrote in the past.
