Reviews of professor Daniel Cryer

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I believe Professor Cryer is a good guy, but when it comes to his grading, it's awful. If y'all want a harder graded writing teacher, you found the perfect one.

Dr. Cryer gives good feedback. For the online course, the discussion posts were considered attendance and if you missed 3 or fewer discussions you were exempt from the final. Dr. Cryer gives good feedback and cares about helping you become a better writer. Highly recommend this course.

I was overwhelmed at 1st due to all the information, but it got easier. Participation is awarded: if you complete most of the discussions on time, you can exempt from the final. There is an extra credit opportunity. In total, there are 3-4 papers. You will regularly use the textbooks. There are detailed rubrics, but he is a bit of a tough grader

He was a great professor and would always be open to answer any questions. I would take again.

Dr. Cryer is phenomenal! If more than one student emailed him about the same question, he would send an announcement that he will post a video about what he expects on the assignment in more detail. If you do all of the discussions, you don't have to take the final exam as discussions are counted as attendance. I would definitely take him again.

This professor was very complimentary on my writing so I'm sure that is a large part of why I enjoyed his course. He did give very good feedback though and was always readily available.

Professor Cryer is a phenomenal teacher. He gives more feedback on assignments than normal which is great for you to make adjustments! The class is structured well, but you still have weekly assignments 2x/week. He's a fair grader and will give you the grade that you work for.

I would recommend Professor Cryer to anybody I know. I feel like I definitely became a better writer with the feedback he gave me. He took his time getting to know us through zoom and always remained engaged in all of our class discussions. I am excited to take him again next semester in Composition II. Overall a great guy and teacher.

My main problem with this course is the amount of time it took to receive grades. For example, I'm still (in May) waiting on a grade for an assignment that I submitted in March. In addition, the final paper is due in six days and I still haven't received feedback on my rough draft. Overall, a good class, but be warned that grades take awhile.

Unfortunately the course is not inclusive. If you prefer to be in touch with a polite person, I suggest taking another course. The assignment and the announcements are two pages long. It is hard to find the important information quickly. His personality and the way the material is presented make the course more difficult than it actually is.
