An overall easy-going professor. Yes, he is new to the teaching gig but tries to make every class useful to his students. However, that is where the positivity ends. He has yet to figure out the pace of the class, so everything seemed rushed to the last minute. The position paper, something that should be a major research project, was only given a week to be done. I had to pull two all-nighters just to get all of my sources and the 8-10 pages done (which in some classes only required 6 pages!). We also had to do the memo project when others just had to complete an outline. His grading was pretty harsh at the beginning, too. Every one little detail on a paper that he did not like he took off points, even if it was exactly what the rubric asked. I would constantly get Cs just because he did not like my topic, despite him approving it just a class earlier. However, I clutched up towards the end of the semester, so thankfully I didn't have a massive GPA drop in a supposedly introductory writing class. If you want to have this professor in the future, be prepared to sink at least 30-40 hours a week writing essays and going to office hours hoping that he would like whatever it is that you wrote.

Professor Deinert is great; he's nice, always responds to emails quickly, and is available for office hours. The class may be dull at some times, but he really tries to keep everyone engaged with ungraded group activities. He will help you revise essays to get a good score no matter what shape they are in. As long as you are willing to put in the work for his class (which is not a significant amount of work), you will do well.

Not a terrible professor when teaching the material, however he grades way harsher than any other professor I’ve found for English 101. Easily sunk the majority of my time into this class despite it being not in my major, and still barely pulled out a B while friends of mine in other sections got A+ with minimal effort.

New professor, lectures were boring and nearly fell asleep every class. Gave us very little time between each assignment let alone time to do the papers themselves and everything seemed rushed. He wouldn’t even bump my grade from a 93.55 to a 94, which is critical for gpa

Loves to hear himself talk. Lectures were long and repetitive. Graded assignments did not have clear instructions which led to low grades.
