Reviews of professor John Valliere

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I had 2 surgeries during this class and he was very understanding. I did my assignments one week ahead so that I would not fall behind. There is a discussion every week, a lot of reading, and three essays but that is normal when taking a college level comm class. Don't use 'YOU' in an essay or discussion. Automatic 2 points off per use! Easy grader

I took John for ENC1101/1102 as one of my first college professors during my time at EFSC. I am about to graduate and still highly recommend him as a professor. He is a great person for one, but he also really takes time and effort for the student to actually understand writing and how to create a good, clear point. He wont go easy on you however.

Worst class ever at EFSC! Professor was helpful to a point but then you spend ALOT of time reading the material, then doing the work, only to find, it wasn't what he was looking for, ugh! Others write that he is a "good" in the classroom, which doesn't help when doing the course online. Reading material is horrible! No extra credit!

Very picky. In-person may be okay but online is HARD! I'm a pretty decent writer and tried VERY HARD in this class and he failed every one of my papers. He does have redo opportunities which are nice but still grades low. His feedback is good on discussions but with papers, he won't tell you what you can do to make it better.

John is a great guy and an amazing instructor. Yes he may grade a little tough, but it is mostly on the 3 essays throughout the semester and other than that he gives you awesome feedback in order to push you towards an A you just have to be willing to listen to not fall behind. He's very understanding and friendly with everyone.
