Reviews of professor Billy Phillips

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He's a very understanding professor who uses fun but engaging criteria. He prefaces at the beginning of the quarter that his class is a more fiction based texted rather than non-fiction so if macabre Roald Dahl isn't for you, I wouldn't recommend. He is very compassionate and wants to help you. 10/10.

He's precise in what he wants from you and your assignments and doesn't imply extra work that he didn't say. The Bare minimum is asked and makes the class enjoyable with the fun assignments. I would love to take another class of his along with his teaching style.

This is a creative writing class and there was a 10 page paper final which was pretty stressful. I kind of didn't enjoy this class and would like a more non-creative English class in my opinion. He responds to emails quickly so that's a plus. Overall, he was a good teacher with clear instructions on each assignment.

The best teacher I have ever had. Wants to see you pass, gives you freedom, tosses everything you thought you knew about writing from high school out the window, and made writing fun. Easy class if you show up, pay attention, be creative, put in the work. Great class would definitely take again!

Billy is a good choice for 'creative' writing instead of long ten page papers every other english class wants you to do. Very easy class as long as you are given clear instructions. At times I would have to ask him constantly what the assignment actually was! lol, and he seemed to have ignored my emails of redoing assignments.

I absolutely loved taking Eng 183 with Professor Phillips. It was by far my favorite class I have taken in a very long time. Professor Phillips has an infectious passion for literature. His grading is fair and guidelines are clear as to what is expected.  He also gave great feedback. I wish I could have taken all of my literature classes with him.

He's sweet but I was distraught when he had never responded of my messages on Canvas....ever. For those questions, I had to figure them out on my own :( I am a bit dissatisfied even though the coursework is reasonably easy. But he seems nice enough idek. I love English so maybe its just me but i loved the work! Macabre...Dr. Suess...Old myths...

Amazing! Reply to emails fast, grades easy, and funny! We had 5 papers but he spread them out and was very creative! He didn't grade grammar or spelling until the final. He only gave us 2 weeks to complete the research paper but we could add from past assignments. Class for creative people who don't like the standard way of doing a research paper.

I absolutely LOVE Billy. He has been one of the best professors I have taken here so far. I am always cracking up during his lectures and learning so much. English was never my strongest subject but he has made me enjoy  writing!
