1 I found the text, The Paris Review and it's subtexts that formed the basis's for all of the writing assignments to be very effective and enjoyable.

2 Books were used effectively and were not an unreasonable cost to the student.

3 nothing because it is only reading and i can read before i even came into college.

Question: Please comment on course improvements you would suggest.


1 lighten up on the work load Matty

2 None

3 that is not a require course so ppl would not be wasting there time

1 I felt he did a kick ass job and deserves a raise!!!!

2 This instructor was very effective and extremely good instructor. I believe that he covered all the material in a well fashioned yet interresting way that made the class non-boring. Mr. Zebehazy is a good teacher and made this english class interresting, and he also made all of the paper assignments easier to write because of the process that he made the students write them in.

3 Instructor enjoyed every class session while simultaniously conducting a thought-provoking discussion.

4 he was helpful and was nice to take in assignment late

5 He was a great teacher and taught the entire class new and interesting things which we all enjoyed!

1 I liked the book he choose to use this semester. It was interesting and made me think critically to write each paper.

2 The book we used was by far the best element.

3 I felt as though the assignments lacked any relevence. I didn't really learn very much from any of the assignments, and my abilities haven't progressed any further than if I'd been writing on my own. If I could've avoided taking this class I would have.

1 Sometimes a little more clarity would have been effective earlier on.

Question: Please comment on how effective the INSTRUCTOR was in teaching this course.


1 Very good teacher. Was organized and had things well planned out. He was understanding and his teach method is effective.

2 He was awesome this semester. In every aspect he was a great instructor.

3 I don't think he did very well correlating reading assignments with writing. The way he organized assignments made it difficult to follow and understand the context.

4

He was great with explaining exactly what he was looking for in assignments and I never felt out of place to ask questions. He made the class interesting but at the same time I learned a lot. The reading material held my interest and the class discussions were very helpful and were never too drawn out. I didn't feel as though he overinterpreted anything which was great because most English instructors I've had had a tendency to ask rediculous questions and over analyze pieces of writing to a point of nonsence. He was a very efficent instructor.
