Fresh English Spring 2011 -- Profs to Avoid or Take?

<p>Anyone have any experience with particular people teaching freshman english to share.</p>

<p>Anyone to avoid ?
Why?</p>

<p>Anyone who you recommend?
Why?</p>

<p>Leaning towards Reality Tv -- or Digital Age stuff...but want to avoid weekly homework and stick to a prof who has the three assignments noted and little else.</p>

<p>I have Cerniglia this semester…funny guy, class is usually pretty filled with laughs, we spend a fair bit of time watching reality TV, but the readings we do aren’t too entertaining. He’s very lenient about assignments - we just have the three main papers to write along with little writing assignments maybe every 2 weeks, which aren’t graded anyway.</p>

<p>I know for a fact Cerniglia is teaching again next semester, and I verify that he’s awesome. We’re friends on facebook. He’s an easy grader in my Lit courses, but I didn’t have him for Interp. He and Dickson-Laprade are two of the few English PhD students who also teach as actual professors, so he’s used to delivering lectures.</p>

<p>Zebrowski is also fairly easy. He teaches the ‘Fans and fan culture’ section, I believe. He’s an interesting guy, a little quirky, funny, and doesn’t hand out many assignments.</p>

<p>Thanks
His name came up with my friends too.</p>

<p>I don’t know 8:30am mwf seems really unattractive.</p>

<p>Any other names?</p>

<p>Where can we see a list of topics matching the names?</p>

<p>Anyone know anything about the Comics topic or the Sports Topic?</p>
