Easiest class ever. I loved him. He let me miss more than allotted days. Class was always out early and only consisted of reading stories out loud round robin style! No homework. And he's so sweet! (: Definitely recommend!!! EASY A!

Comment:

This class was fairly easy. You mostly read books that are used in high school curriculums. He is hard to listen to at times, but it's not that hard to come out of this class with an A if you put in at least some effort. His projects are usually interesting compared to that of other classes.

nice old man you just go to class and read the stories he picks out. Have to keep a journal about each story but he rarely checks them. Relate stories to yourself and youll do fine.

Awesome teacher. Makes class a blast and it's easy. There is never a test or quiz, just short papers. The final was 3 pages long. Would LOVE to take another class taught by her. Everyone had a blast. I hate English, but the lowest grade my lazy but got was a B+.

Comment:

Such a sweet old man!! I feel terrible for him sometimes though because hes rather monotoned and most people in my class were asleep within ten minutes. Believe it or not though he might have an outburst like he did on my class and get up and leave. Just talk to him about anything related to the books and you'll do great.

Comment:

This class is extremely boring, but SO easy. ENCLUDE a personal story in your essay no matter what, andd you will do well. Stay on top of him though, he is really disorganized, and put my final grade in wrong, but was more than happy to change it.

Comment:

Here is the key to doing well in his class: whatever the text is, relate it to a personal experience in your life. I absolutely hate english, but I managed to pull out a b+ in this class. I also got an A on a paper I wrote in 30 minutes. This will be the easiest class of you college career. However, the class is itself is extememly boring.

Comment:

He's a really caring, and nice guy, with lots of stories to tell. He tends to get lost in reminiscing about the past, but it's really not that bad. Cares more about personal connections with the novel than a summary of the reading. Gives good in depth analysis about the book, which allows you to write the paper without reading the books.

Comment:

Pretty nice guy but THE most boring teacher I've ever had in my entire life. Everyone just sits on their laptops during the whole class period or they just fall asleep. You just write papers about personal experiences and there's a project at the end that isn't too difficult. I would look for another teacher if there are other options.

Not worried about mechanics of papers more or less worried about your understanding of the reading and your personal experiences mixed with creativity. Very nice man with a lot of stories.

His online class for adolecent lit was ok, but nothing special. Class was not difficult at all, and was a walk through. He was ok personally, but nothing special here.

Comment:

Dr. MacLennan is an enjoyable professor, but can be quite boring. Be ready to hear him tell a lot of stories (and jump in and tell your own, too, if you want a grade booster!). Turn in all the assignments and give your personal connections to the book and you're good to go. Take his classes. :)

Just read the damn books he gives you attend class, do the few easy papers he assigns, and talk in class about what you've read, you will come out looking like a star. That simple.

This is one of my favorite teachers. You learn a lot in his class and get to voice a lot of your own opinion. He's sweet and makes his students' needs first priority. Take his class... any of them!

Comment:

This guy is absolutely awesome!! Class is sometimes boring cause you don't really do anything, except get in groups and talk about the stories that you didn't read (lol), and you have to write 4 reflective narratives on things that you read in class, but its not bad at all. Recommend for an easy A!
