Comment:

Took his night class.... bad idea. All he does is talk and talk, and rants about other random stuff. Don't get me wrong he is funny, but that doesn't make up for other stuff. He literally has to walk up to you in order to hear what you said. STAY AWAY lol

Comment:

Took English 28 with professor Butman. Don't let the other reviews keep you from experiencing this class. Although the reading isn't mandatory, it helps to do it. He provides guidelines on his expectations for the essays he assigns and will even give you extra time to turn it in. Take your own book to read in his class and you will be fine.

Comment:

The first couple of papers he assigns are confusing. Throughout the course it gets easier. Good note taking skills are important as he explains what he expects from students. Lectures are confusing sometimes but it you take notes and ask questions it will be helpful. Very little homework is assigned, go to his office hrs. Great professor!

Comment:

If you want a lazy class and hope to pass, this is the teacher for you. You don't need to read, just show up to every class and turn in the work. There's only 6 essays, this including midterm and final. Don't expect to learn, challenge or know what is going on in class. If you ask him for help, you'll be more confused than before.

Worst professor yet. Hw and exam is a 400 word personal essay (informal). He reads everything directly out of the book with not explanation. He rambling a lot and gives unclear on essay assignment. He incapable of help you improve ur writing skill. he will noted when you received help even if you went to a tutor, he'll tell you not to do that again

Comment:

If I'd known of this site before registering & reviews, wouldn't have taken his class & have the regret. Only way to pass is if you tune everything out to hear him clearly since he mumbles & he could explain an essay prompt w/o you realizing it. Only assigns 400 word paper vs the 1,000 criteria. Learned nothing since he genuinely does not teach.

Comment:

while i was in his class he goes off topic, grades his students off english 121 and expect his students to know how to write a paper and does not guide his students on any assignments. Speaks very low he tries to be funny but personally i did not learn anything from this class i am retaking english 28.

I have nothing negative to say about Mr. Butman. I tried the class out and did not comprehend with his way of teaching. So now i am retaking Eng. 28 with a differ Professor (SANGHA) and it is a dramatic change. I am learning the concept that needs to be met for this english class.

So uninspiring. So boring. It was torture being in his class. He humiliated students whenever they asked a question. He offered absolutely no guidance. He speaks in a low soft voice and has major problems hearing. Avoid taking his class!

Comment:

I have to disagree with most of the comments on here. I like his class and understand they way he teaches. He expects yo to put your time in your work. He goes over exactly what he grades on in class and gives examples. He does try to help students during class but at the end you get what you earn.

Comment:

Butman is a very tough grader however, is very easy once you get the hang of the essays. Learn from mistakes !!!! First 2 essays were an F and a D. He explained mistakes not to make and once corrected i became a B student. Point is, don't let his attitude make you drop he actually does care about his students in his own way

Expects you to know everything. Difficult to understand and knows most of the class does not get it and still does not try to make us understand. If asked a question he will only repeat himself and make you look dumb. Horrible Prof.

HORRIBLE! His essays are so hard to get a good grade on, he doesn't teach all he does is read from the book and expect us to know how to write A+ essays. I dropped his class it wasn't even worth going to. I would never take him again.

Take this teacher at your own risk!! Day 1: 35+ students Day of Final: 7 students total. his teaching doesnt make sense and he Laughs at his own jokes. His class is based on eassays. Students dropped the class because they knew he wasn't going to pass anyone.

The guy is funny ill give you that,but he already expects you to be almost perfect in GRAMMER.He calls his class "grammar land" fun right? His teaching method is horrible..The final was on a regret we have, I should have wrote about the regret i have for not dropping his class. Dont buy the fiction book only the Rules for writers(helpful)
