Fall 2024 - Both of my roommates had Dana Watson, the other ENGCOMP3E teacher, and they did not seem to enjoy themselves this quarter. Most of your homework doesn't matter, and the majority of your grade is based on two essays that he gives you feedback on after an initial draft. 10% Attendance 15% Participation (some in-class presentation that doesn't matter too much) 35% Revised First Essay 40% Revised Second Essay Daniel doesn't want to be there as much as you don't want to be there, so don't use complex sentences when you write. Keep it short. Don't make him read more words than he has to, and you'll do well. Interesting lectures though.

Fall 2019 - The professor was often vague about expectations and gave poor grades on assignments when they didn't do specifically what she wanted, even though she never told us that that was. The assignments themselves are not extremely difficult and are pretty minimal writing for an english course, though they can be time consuming.
