This is a tough class if you don't love reading. But the ideas are neat. he gives several opportunites for revision and knows how to help you improve.

The assignments and texts were unique. He's low-key and explains things really well. I improved my writing a lot.

Very interesting guy. I personally get along with him, but I can see why others don't like him. He has said some extreme stuff before, but I think he at least has knowledge/research to back him up. He gives good feedback, and you can recover if you do poorly early on (I did), and he is very transparent about improving if you show interest.

Reading load wasn't too bad. They're tough readings but super interesting and he's really good at coaching your writing. Gives revision chances and seemed pretty fair. Overall interesting. Passionate guy.
