CollegeWould take ANY class this man teaches! So energetic but mellow at the same time. You have to go to class, but you will want to... I know that sounds ify but its fun.
The class I took was a seminar style and attendance was a MUST. Patrick is a great writer and gives the best feedback in person. The times I had him revise my drafts via email were disappointing. GO TO OFFICE HOURS!
Professor McHugh was great! Funny, understanding, helpful, and interesting! I really enjoyed this class. Two major assignments (about 6 page creative essays). Professor McHugh would read them for you and give you suggestions way in advance of the due date, so you're almost guaranteed to pass if you make an effort. No exams, mandatory attendance.
Super straightforward class and really kind professor. I learned a lot about business writing through this class, and it was not graded too harshly. Really enjoyable and engaging lectures.
Professor McHugh is so sweet and truly cares about his students. I enjoyed going to class and the grading is fair as well. Attendance is mandetory but I did not mind going to class at all.
Great guy. Took 109HU class as a social science major and still really enjoyed it. He is really kind and cares about what he does and his students. Although it may not seem like it at the start, by the end you will feel much more confident in your writing. Definitely take it! Not a crazy amount of work. One page weekly & 2 longer papers.
