I had him @ Columbia Chicago, Fantastic teacher! He is willing to give you as much effort as you put in, therefore as long as you give the class the effort it deserves youll have a great time! He also leaves great comments in canvas and in class to motivate students to work harder. Really the only prof. I had that didnt talk down to the students.

Dylan was amazing. He is brilliant and knows what he's talking about. He shared poems with us every class and he made a boring class fun and interesting. He truly cared about helping us and never made anything hard on purpose. Really, really great teacher.

ENGL 100
Quality 5/5Difficulty 1/5
This is a very easy class. Dylan is very laid back, at least when I was in his class. We did have to purchase a book where we read short stories that were only a few pages long and discuss it but then we stopped using it. There were three major projects that your grade depends on but they are easy to get A's on and he gives good feedback.

ENGL 100
Quality 5/5Difficulty 1/5
He only teaches English 100, which is a shame. His lectures are pretty much open discussions among the class which is different than most English 100 professors/TAs. Attendance is taken and you really only have to do 3 assignments, and it's not hard to get an A on all 3. On top of that, he's also a pretty funny guy and his feedback is helpful.
