Reviews of professor Paul Alexander

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
First of all, these readings are tough and had me struggling so severely to the point I had to withdraw, he expects professional writing as if we were already graduate students, horrible horrible.

He was the most toughest grader I've ever had. I spent so long doing my papers and he gives me feedback saying that it's good, but then he grades it and gives me a C????? I thought he would be more lenient especially in times like this right now, but no. He rarely gives out A and Bs. He gives out C and Ds mostly to everyone. Stay away

He's a tough grader because he actually cares about writing. If you care about your writing and want to become good or even great at it then take this class. If you just need the credits maybe take somebody else. I like him, would take him again.

Dont get completely discouraged but, Professor Alexander standers are extremely high If you want to become a better writer then, take his class but if, youre a sloppy writer then beware because this Professor takes point off your essay for every little mistakes you make Dont take this class if you have a busy life outside of college

Took him this summer. He is a harsh grader, but he also told us exactly what he was looking for and gave us a mini grammar review before the first paper was even due. Classes were filled with discussion and overall engaging. He's a chill professor. Don't let the bad reviews scare you there are far worse ones at Hunter.

If you like writing and care about getting better at your craft, this is the class for you. You absolutely will come out a better writer than you came in but you have to work for it. I personally found him very helpful. Responds to emails right away and is more than happy to go over work with you. Loved this class so so much.

Don't take him. He grades purely on grammar and doesn't care about the content of your essays. Genuinely made me hate writing for the duration of that class. It felt like no matter how much effort I put into the paper I couldn't improve my grade. The material could be interesting but it's not worth it.

Not a lot of homework besides reading about 40 pages per week. Allowed extensions for more than one paper. No final exam. Tough grader, punctuation and english conventions are put through a looking glass in each essay. Class is not a lecture but a seminar. He is quite funny and laid back.

Professor Alexander just wants participation. As long as you put in the effort then he will appreciate you and your presence. Is a tough grader, but I put in the effort and got an A - on all papers I submitted to him. He provided great notes on every paper and I learned a lot about Sylvia Plath (the class subject)
