Reviews of professor Paul Alexander

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The reviews for Professor Alexander seem to come from people who are unable to take criticism on essays and apply it to the next. He is here to make you a better writer and the readings he assigned still live with me today, three years after this class. Take him! Not an easy grader but that is life. You should push yourself.

Professor Alexander is a good professor. He cares about his students and always makes sure to give plenty of time for papers. There are no quizzes and the class is writing INTENSIVE. He is a really tough grader but not without reason, I got a C and I can't argue with it because that's genuinely how much effort I put in. Don't take if lazy!!!

I had never gotten anything lower than an A in any English course until now. I am not going to lie, this class and Professor Alexander's grading crushed my spirits quite a bit. It is nearly impossible to get anything higher than an 85 on a paper. He is knowledgable on content, but I still would not recommend this class unless you want a challenge.

I had a lot of fun in this class! Prof. Alexander helped improve my writing, and his classes were pretty great. He let us use devices for classwork and we didn't have to purchase the textbook. But beware: he's a TOUGH grader so be ready to triple check your paper before submission. I'd take him again in a heartbeat!

He is a very tough grader, grammar and punctuation are important - not so much the material you write. Unless you're a REALLY good writer, getting above a B is difficult. He does make class interesting which makes it worth it. He is funny and is nice to engage with outside of class. I would recommend his class, it is just a lot of writing.

Get ready to hear about Sylvia Plath! The man's obsessed with her but that's not the issue, everyone has their thing. The problem is he is an extremely tough grader without any clear rubric and he doesn't really explain what's wrong with your work, he'll just tell you it's bad without saying why. Overall, avoid if you want a good grade, I was lucky

Absolute worst English professor, will not mind handing out undeserving Cs to a majority of the class. Class consists of out loud reading similar to grade school. I do not know how he got this job. If you care about your GPA do NOT TAKE this class.

He is very intelligent and class conversations were interesting, but the actual material for the papers was never taught sufficiently. My worst impression was his extreme urge to bring politics into this class in a very unprofessional manner, trying to openly change the students' opinions to fit his bias. I can say I learned nothing in his class.
