This professor is awesome . If you really want to learn and improve your writing skills he could be a great option. He knows what hes doing. If youre writing isnt good you could have a hard time getting A but you will learn for sure !!!!!!!! Id take the class again just to listen to him

Comment:

He is a tough grader and not kind to students. I took his class twice and I still don't like him. He gives a research paper that we have to write 5-8 pages. He wants citations for all the paper you write and it's so annoying. Even when you put the citation correctly and if he doesn't like it, he'll give you C or D grades for the assignments.

Great Professor! You learn from his lectures, use modern information. Makes you analyze and just not read. He is respectful and always ready and on time for his class sessions.

Comment:

He is unfriendly and never say Hi to students around the school. He is a really tough grader and It's difficult to get a good grade in his class. He gives too much paper and you have to READ A LOT!!!!! One research paper and five essays are required to pass the class. One of the most stressful class I had

Comment:

took him in the spring and at first i was skeptical about taking his class.. but overall i passed the class with an A! he gives out several handouts about short stories and the very easy essays (2-3 pages each) will be about them. he is very lenient and kind, just listen to what he has to say and you'll be fine.

Comment:

He's a good teacher because he goes in-depth on how to write. Basically focusing on things like grammar, transitions, verbs, etc. He's kind of soft-spoken. He makes some connections from his life to what he is teaching us which personally I don't mind. His class is not hard it's very straightforward. He grades mostly based off of grammar etc.

Comment:

Prof. Bordogna is the greatest professor ever. I absolutely loved his class. You read two books, write essays based on articles that he hands out, and write one research paper. If you really want to improve your writing skills, he's the best professor you'll find at Bergen.

If you are interested in improving your writing skills, he gives valuable feedback with compassion. We have a couple weeks left, so I don't have a grade yet. I highly recommend if you have trouble expressing yourself. This class has helped me tremendously in gaining confidence in my thoughts.

Nice man. There are 4 papers and 1 research paper. You read short stories its not too hard. The textbook is boring but you read it together. He's pretty straightforward, just do the papers (he accepts late work) and don't miss too many classes and you'll pass.

Comment:

He's alright. Can sometimes be rude. One time I tried to ask him about summaries in essays and since he hates the idea of summaries in essays he just answered "no" without letting me finish my question. I wasn't even going to put a summary in my essay, he just assumed. The class is a bore. Gave him a 2 cause he's at least lenient on due dates.

Comment:

He is a nice person. However, his lesson plan is very traditional. He maps out the entire semester on the first day and puts due dates for assignments months in advance. The amount of information given at one time can be confusing. I barley attended because he was boring and there was no point since he showed the movie to all the readings.

decent guy. he likes things done a certain way. just do the work and you can easily get an A. the class itself is kind of a bore, but he does share some current events once in a while.

Comment:

Easily one of the best professors I've ever had at Bergen. The classes do actually get boring, and you don't really interact much with your classmates. He does really care about the students though, amazing professor. He's a very calm guy and he doesn't give out too much work. You'll learn a lot about correcting grammar from him.

There were 4 essays, 4 reaction papers(option)and over 7 pages research paper. He is a warm-heart professor who wants to share latest news and some restaurant coupons :) but, the classes can be boring to you.. If you are fine to a quiet class atmosphere, I recommend this! If not, consider taking other class. I was fine and enjoyed his class,got A.

This professor one of the best English teachers in Bergen. Very knowledgeable and fair one. He does teach in class, there is no "extra talk" about someone's life and I like it so much. Take him and you would not be disappointed.

Excellent professor and I will take him again for WRT 201. Although, I don't know my grade yet. He is the best specially if you are an international student. Take him.
