Reviews of professor Aaron Penton

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Any future teacher should take this class with Mr. Penton! I grew to become a more critical reader and a better writer from his teachings and grading. Some students might simply seek an easy A course (and theres nothing wrong with that), but I found his class to be challenging not only as a student but in preparing me for a career as a teacher.

Mr. Penton is the best! He really cares about his students and wants them to succeed in his course and in life. If you weren't a fan of literature before, you will be after taking his class. His class was the best class I have ever taken and I learned so much that will help me in my future classroom. Mr. Penton is so fun, take this class!

Professor Penton was an amazing professor! He is there for you if you need help and even if you just need someone to talk too. READ THE CHAPTERS! Trust me it will help. Keep up with due dates because he doesn't allow late work at all. Overall if you do the work and show up you will pass his class. That's a promise.

Professor Penton is absolutely incredible. This is the best class I have taken at A&M so far, and I will miss him and the class so much. His stories, teaching experiences, and just overall enthusiasm makes the class amazing and made the content super interesting. I wish all education professors were like Penton.

Mr. Penton was an amazing professor that completely changed my perspective on the teaching profession. Our class discussions were extremely beneficial and challenged me to think about the content in different ways. After taking his course, I am excited to teach reading! I would recommend that EVERY future Aggie teacher take his class! :)

PENTON IS THE BEST!!!! Only 5 weeks into the semester, but I've learned so much. Three years at A&M I haven't had a professor who knows their content well AND can teach it like Penton does. I came to this class thinking I knew everything about kids books; he SHOWED me how reading is a form of social justice. We must disrupt the single-sided story!!

This course was not easy, but assignment blueprints were very clear and helpful. He offered voluntary workshops where we could share our writing & get feedback on the process! His passion for teaching and children's literature is infectious. I recommend Penton to an EDUC major! Several of us want to take him for another RDNG class in the future.

Dr. Penton's enthusiasm for the course and its material unmatched by any other professor - not to mention his passion for the teaching profession. Extremely knowledgeable, approachable, and energetic. I absolutely couldn't have asked for a better professor!
