He is a very nice guy but extremely disorganized and a ton of busy work. I honestly never knew what we were doing in the class and it kinda seemed like he just made it up as we went along. My english class was completely different from all of the other teachers.

Easy to get an A, but difficult to work with. I don't know if he had a specific problem with me or if he is just like this, but he consistently found a reason to dock me points and be upset with my work without fail. There is also so much unnecessary busy work, and he doesn't publish your grade in the course until the very end of the semester.

I got 100% on all the assignments (at least 2-3 per lecture) and an A on all of my projects, but it doesn't matter because he literally grades you based on vibes. You cant see your grade all semester and then he just assigns one at the end. Ended up with an AB despite probably getting around a 97% on all assignments, projects, and attendance.
