13. What did you like about this course, such as activities, projects, assignments, etc.?

Mr. Mitchell is an outstanding instructor and did a great job teaching this course. I would recommend this course to other students, great instructor and course.

Projects were a bit extensive, however Loren Mitchell was always ready to help me and answered alot of questions for me

I learned and developed the writing process. I read the chapters and realized how important it was to understand. Professor Mitchell provided examples. He is like a "human dictionary" when it came to English 100 and he is thorough and encouraging. He provided a way to seek the help a student needed by the materials and power-point messages, and he gave other access to learn the material well. He praised the student for their efforts, he corrected fairly, he explained where the errors were, and he provided each page of identifying where the student could improve on. I don't think I have come across any instructor who possesses so much wisdom and interest in his students the way Professor Mitchell does. Sometimes he encourages the student to really take the time to understand the concepts of each chapter before moving on and I and have recommended his course to other peers. That's because Professor Mitchell understands the individual needs and he will offer help to discuss the matter and is open and unbiased.

I liked that we did not jump right in to writing papers, we learned about how to write them first.

Loren Mitchell is a very devoted English teacher!

I feel that Professor Mitchell teaches excellence, a higher standard because he believes in our abilities. I am encouraged, inspired, and enjoy his techniques. I have to say that Professor Mitchell is absolutely knowledgeable and is supportive in any way possible to make this course work for all students, especially since I have used the tools learned in my other courses and excelled! Thank you.

13. What did you like about this course, such as activities, projects, assignments, etc.?

Assignments and homework due weekly, helped retain discipline.

Professor Mitchell has an obvious passion for teaching. He is highly responsive to all questions or concerns posted by students. He is highly involved in the discussions. He is the most highly skilled, effective and engaged instructor that I have had this semester.

I have met a lot of people in my life time and Mr. Mitchell is by far one of the greatest English Teachers I have had the priviledge to learn from. The college should be grateful for having such a person who loves waking up in the morning to educate his students.

I did not have much confidence in myself to do well in writing. This class has helped my become a little more confident and has taught me good writing skills that will definitely help in my career.

I liked reading short stories from the book. They were interesting. I also liked how we got to choose which essay to write because I understood one story better than the other.

14. Any suggestions to improve this course?

n/a

less homework?

N/A

I wish I could have taken Professor Loren's class "in class." I think I would have done better.

Not at all.

15. Other comments:

Course grading as far as essays were a bit tough, but I guess it needed to be.

While he is my best instructor, I expect to do the poorest in his class among my 4 classes. After falling ill for a couple of weeks, I never quite regained traction. It became very difficult for me to get motivated to write the required essays. (Though I still have a glimmer of hope to be able turn in late work and squeak by with a passing grade.)

N/A

I wish I could have met Professor Loren in person. Interesting man.

13. What did you like about this course, such as activities, projects, assignments, etc.?

He is a good teacher. However, his grading process is to strict. From my perspective, it seems that, you either pass or fail. There is NO in between. He does know his english and he is good at it.

I enjoyed Mr. Mitchells teaching methods and I also enjoyed his example stories they were funny and a good learning experience.

I think the coure that professor Loren Mitchell teachest is a good class. All activities, projects, and assignments are on the syllabus.

I liked Loren's technique of learning the basic steps of the writing process. I am real pleased as to how he can break the process down so we can understand. To me that is AWESOME! I enjoyed the class activities. The class assignments were good in the beginning, until all hell broke loose and there were essay after essay, after essay. Really frustrating to me! but all in all I seemed to try and pull it together.

nothing really

That I could do the work and understand it well

Mr. Mitchell did prepare the class and motivated the class via reviewing the topics and class interaction. I feel that he was sincere and took the time to have the students assess their learning process. His class was essentially pleasant and the teaching methods helped me to understand ENG 22 homework assignments. One thing that I learned was to be present in his class because he offered depth and meaning to each topic and the practices helped improve the progression from each chapter. The syllabus was the preparation and as I followed along, I was never behind. This gave me the confidence to do better each time. I would enroll in his class the next semester if it were available. He is also personable. His examples were easy to follow.

I enjoyed learning about the writing process of an essay. It moled me to be a better writer.

Dr bernard was a great teacher very awesome

He is very relaxed. His assignments are kind of tough, they are doable.

I like the essays and the ways Loren taught. I really learned a lot more than when I first stepped into this class. This class has brought more out of me with writing than I had before, and I really enjoyed it. It has also gave me a new look in pushing to write that children's book or mystery novel I have wanted to write a long time ago.

i liked where we talk as a class on how to correct our essay.

14. Any suggestions to improve this course?

Do Not use the real essays website until they get it fixed I had a hard time all semester with this "project" as one might call it.

There is know sugggestions at this time.

Not at this moment!

I dont know

None

NONE

I think they only thing he needs to work on is to make sure everybody understands what is going on during the semester.

no.

No comments

NO!

Thanks for being a good teacher, understanding,and pushing me to be the best I can be. Darryl Brown

English has never been my favorite subject. I was never serious nor attending classes in high school. What I appreciate about Mr. Mitchell is that he taught me the discipline to complete an assignment with confidence. I began to read more and look at sentence structure more closely. When he corrected the errors, I understood the mistakes and reviewed the lesson. Secondly, I used a tutor. Lastly, I now have the skills in English writing and grammar that did not make sense before. He is an excellent teacher!

I see a big difference in my writing from when I first started the class till now :).

I am more comfortable talking in front of class and giving speeches. It really reflected in my other classes

He is very good teacher, but i think he can improve on teaching in a class setting. He is very good at helping on a one on one basis. He has a lot of knowledge of writing.

Thank you so much Professor Loren for all your time and hard work. You have taught me a lot and I appreciate it. I have learned so much in 16 weeks from you. Mahalo again!

13. What did you like about this course, such as activities, projects, assignments, etc.?

Meeting my classmates, and getting to know them a little bit better, and how we all come to gather to help one another.

This class was interesting and pushed me to become a better writer. I think that if taken at the beginning of your college career, Prof. Mitchell and the course material provide a great foundation for success in future classes.

All the assignments were great practice for learning the writing skills we covered in our readings. I enjoyed reading the short stories and completing the literary analysis essays. Those helped me a lot with my critical reading skills and analytical writing skills. Also, the weekly discussion board postings and Bedford Handbook exercises were great practice for applying what we read in the book.

They were all very meaningful and relevant; I dislike doing bogus busy work!

14. Any suggestions to improve this course?

Cut down on some of the assignments, I felt so overwhelmed with all the essay's that was due every week it took up most of my time and made me fall behind on some of my other classes.

I honestly was surprised at how challenging this course was! For a 100 level course I think that a lot is required of the students. I do like to be challenged but I think that the English Dept. expectations/requirements are too high!! I think that for students straight out of public high school, the expectation is near perfection. I understand that the class is designed to prepare students for their college careers, but I think it might turn a lot of students off writing and make them feel inadequate. I am a college graduate and have always been a good student (I also only had a total of 9 credits this semester and am not working) and I found it challenging! Maybe a more "growth oriented" approach or a less detail-oriented grading system might benefit and encourage students in the long-run! Writing is very challenging and a life long learning process! Also, maybe one less paper so there is more time at the end for the more heavily weighted research paper

Providing a tutor or some other way of communication with someone who could edit papers other than peers would be excellent. I had a very difficult time improving my essays because the peer reviews were inefficient. Its a great concept to have a person edit their peer's essay for the practice, but the peers don't have as trained an eye as a professor or other english tutor does.

Whoa! So much to cover in a short amount of time. No; he is great at even giving us a little break this week! Make it mandatory first semester class so you know how to really write from the start!

15. Other comments:

Prof. Mitchell is a very understanding and supportive teacher. His standards are high but he is very accessible to his students. The nature of online courses does add a little more challenge to stay connected and search out any help needed, but overall I really enjoyed his class!

This course helped me write much more effectively. I think it should be a requirement for all students to take some kind of writing course during the first semester of college.

Professor Loren is the kind of instructor you would like all of your teachers to be! He's quick, he always provides immediate feedback; his feedback is not made to feel like you'll never succeed but only encourages you to do better!Two thumbs up and if I had more, they'd be up too! :)

13. What did you like about this course, such as activities, projects, assignments, etc.?

I like when he takes time explaining how to do our writing the rite way. He makes sure we understand what we are learning and he gives us time to do our essays. He also explains how our finals may be like for the heads up.

I liked the way he broke everything down in seperate assignments where I could understand as a student. He was very thorough in his teachings. I very much so enjoyed Mr. Loren's class.

I learned many things on how to write a good essay. I did not know that there were so many rules to writing an essay, but I am glad I learned them because I will need it for my future endeavors.

I learned a lot from this course. I liked the Mr. Mitchell but to tell you the truth this course is very stressful.

Professor Mitchell has a very firm but good attitude towards us students. He does try to help us as much as possible. He does need a tutor.

The freedom of choice with few limitations on topic essay writing.

Although I felt overwhelmed at times, I learned a lot from his class, such as, recognizing fragments, run-ons, SVA, and verb problems. My writing has improved a great deal from his methods of teaching and assignments. I still could improve more and by the end of the semester I will definitely be a better writer.

This course helped me better my writing ability and prepare me for college level writting.

i learned alot from the book and online work.

Essays were brutal, but I enjoyed learning the steps of the writing process.

I like the fact that we are able to take our essays home,and revise it ourselves.

In this course the essay assignments helped me to improve my writing. It also made me understand the errors and mistakes i often make in writing paper. In class activities was another enjoyable time in the class. We the students were able to share and interact in teaching each other about improving our essay papers.

practices and online work

Learning the proper way to write an essay is so helpful.

i enjoyed being able to read a chapter or two for homework and coming to class for a discussion about it. it helped me to understand what i had read a little better.

it is very challengeing and it thought me how to write better..i still need to work on my writing but at least i have some experience now..

Loren Mictchell is a great professor. He teaches in a way for students, who may learn in different ways, to understand. Working in groups or as a class helps out!

none

I enjoyed the examples of how to start a hook.

I like this class because this class was really a challenge to me and for me I really like a challenge so that I can be more hard on myself and determined.

Loren Michell's teaching style is descriptive but simple. This made his class enjoyable for me. But I had trouble contacting him through email, and getting his number to ask for clarification on the essay assignments. He has a great uplifting personality which helped me get through his class.

I enjoyed developing how to write an essay. Practicing the basic steps helped to improve my writing skills. Online homework was a good way to allow students to learn different word usages and word structure.

14. Any suggestions to improve this course?

Only, for Mr. Loren to continue his good work.

Help out each and every student equally

On the grading system. I don't agree with it. I don't like that students can do all the assignments, and essays but still not be able to pass the course if they don't pass the final.

He needs a tutor

start the essays eariler in the course

He is doing a awesome job for an english teacher.

None

during lectures use less time using examples of good or bad work. and spend more time lecturing about the assignment.

Great!

Make the real essay page the internet be more fun.

In class tutor really can really help out with the coourse.

No.

make essay topics more easier to understand

none at this time..

Improvement is not really necessary, Mitchell does a great job. If I had him in high school, my English skills would be way higher!!!

20. If you were teaching this course: a. What would you do to improve it? b. What would you change?

Put a computer with internet access in the room. It made it very hard for Professor Loren to prove points or show examples because of the lack of a computer. There is no excuse why every room in this school should have computers.

nothing, the course is clear and straightforward.

nothing.

There is no need for improvement.

Not so many power points and fucking change the damn rules for HCC english students. rewrites should be accepted, writing center should help with punctuation and literature content that students write should be held at almost the same importance as their mechanics.

Nothing. He does a great job and makes it fun at the same time.

wouldnt change a thing.

Nothing.

I would not change a thing.

21. What do you think of the teacher and his/her teaching methods?

Professor Loren has a heart of gold. His teaching style for me was fascinating and he motivated me to learn more. I can positively say I understand the MLA Format 100% more than I did in the past. No more plagirizing. Thank you. God has truly blessed you with a special gift!

Prof. Loren is a very good professor who focuses on the key aspects of writing. It is thanks to his teachings that i am able to write as well as i do now.

He is a great teacher. He is fun. I love that he shows how much he loves his job. It made the rest of us wanna love it too.

Mr. Mitchells teaching methods were really good and very understandable!

The HCC regulations made him able to be a lazy teacher. check your freaking email and get back to your students

His teaching methods are great. He can take hard work and explain it in a way i can understand it.

good because he changed it to help us better understand the work.

Good class for me to take.

I think it is very good even if I had some misunderstanding but, that was just me.

22. Has he/she contributed to your general knowledge or to learning job skills?

Absolutely. The knowledge I gained this semester will hopefully carry all the way to my Doctrate

He has most definitely contributed to my knowledge about writing. From taking his Eng22 and now Eng100, i have learned and fine-tuned a lot of the different writing concepts of english.

yes. very much.

Mr. Mitchell helped me improve tremendously on my wrinting skills, and I thank him for that.

Yes.

yes, he taught me that if you teach someone what you have just learned, you will plant it in your memory.

Very much so. Thanks Loren.

Most sure.

23. Other comments:

Will recommend others to sign up for his class next semester! I would like to see Professor Loren teach a class on writing as a Newspaper Editor.

Prof. Loren is a very organized and clear professor which makes learning the material easy and straightforward. Although i ended up flaking out due to my own faults, he is very good at what he does and is someone who i would recommend to other students. Keep up the good work Loren!

Mr. Mitchell is a great and wonderful person, who I enjoyed having as and English teacher. He taught me a lot and helped me understand the library system, which has been very useful to me in all my other classes. Thank you very much Mr. Mitchell!

No other comments.

thanks for this awesome semester.

Maybe what they say is true, and the third time is the charm. I enjoyed being a part of your class, when i could make it. Thanks Loren

I just wished I had taken his Eng 22.

20. If you were teaching this course: a. What would you do to improve it? b. What would you change?

less homework, we had way to much online home work up to 150 questions and we would have to do 1 essay per week with ll materials

Start to use powerpoint visuals a little earlier. More practice exercises in class. Have him go around like he has, but more often, because it demonstrated his interest in the students development and thinking process on the lesson. Unfortunately, there were a few distractions from students who used the class to talk story instead of paying attention to the lesson. His style of teaching was easy, clear and well-defined.

I wouldn't change anytyhing

I think it would be more helpful if the homework assignment on line is assigned after we review the chapter with him in class. I has a difficult time getting the homework correct when I do it before we go over it in class.

Nothing.

I would have more group activities for the upcoming assignments. Our second to the last essay that we wrote we did several group activites. This was helpful to take in the material & use when we write our own essay.

21. What do you think of the teacher and his/her teaching methods?

Teaching methods were excellent if a student wanted to be motivated. He used clear, basic reasoning in understanding the lessons and he prepared the class to go further by using the online exercises. He taught and believed that students have the potential to excel. He related well, except some students were behaving disrespectfully, such as, talking a lot between themselves, caused distrations, and I became annoyed by their behavior, yet, Mr. Mitchell was consistent and went on with the lessons. Right on!

I think that Loren Mitchel is a great teacher and has very good methods of teaching

I feel that his teaching method was very helpful and motivating. I enjoyed all the stories and examples he told when he was giving the class examples. I found it very helpful when he replies to my emails. He was always available before of after work when I had questions.

Lorens teaching method is really good and helpful. The way he goes through each thing and doesn't just give assignments in the book i really liked. The way he taught the class has made me a better writer in so many ways.

I think he is a really good teacher. Very friendly and helpful. He know what he's doing and always want his students to do the best they could.

Great! He's clear about the assignments and encourages for students to correct & "revise".

22. Has he/she contributed to your general knowledge or to learning job skills?

I learned how to read and read to understand the text and examples. I take responsibility to discipline myself and he used cultural competency to help us along. He graded fairly.

definitely

I am able to comprehend the materials that I needed to learn

yes he has contributed to my general knowledge.

Yes.

Yes! Good effective writing.

23. Other comments:

If I have a chance to have him in the future, I would want to take his class. The handouts were well defined, especially the Shaka format. He took his time by simply using basic concepts, he answered questions from the students, and was thorough with the lessons. I think he also gave great examples to follow by using other students learning process. I borrowed the examples and it made me feel confident. I got it. I still have errors, but he always writes something positive, and allows the students to rewrite the assignment. I felt encouraged because I could improve my writing skills and strive to improve from the error. What I appreciate from Mr. Mitchell is that he was definitely professional, honest and approachable.

I really enjoyed Loren's class

I am very glad he was my instructor. I felt very comfortable and he was very easy to communicate with.

It was nice being in your class!

Nothing

Have some initial exercises that we can receive a few grades on to give the student a sense of how they are doing. That way we know what to work on.

No improvement needed! Keep up the good work! I really enjoyed this semester in English 100.

nothing

Make it less confusing for the students to understand.

i would make it so that the students could do a revision of their papers

There should be more interesting material to write about. Also more time should be spent on making sure the students understand the material

nothing. perrrrfect. =]

20. What do you think of the teacher and his/her teaching methods?

I absolutely enjoyed Professor Mitchell's teaching methods. It was somewhat of a difficult class for me, but in the end,it was well worth it.

Really enjoyed the instructor.

Fantastic. He encouraged critical thinking in a positive way that was easy to understand.

Mr. Mitchell has a great method. His teachings are very clear. He was always there to talk and ask questions. He was very helpful. Though his grading is very harsh he always had an explanation.

It is good, but many of us are confused sometimes. The teacher contradicts himself a lot.

i really enjoyed being in his class he walked my through the writing process

I had a really hard time grasping his concept of teaching a subject that was really hard to understand. There should be more exercises that help students understand the material better. He should also have better lectures that accompany the exercises

his methods are good. just maybe rewrite essay one instead of going to the learning center...

21. Has he/she contributed to your general knowledge or to learning job skills?

yes

Yes.

to the up most

Yes.

yes

Some, but I still had to ask other instructors for help, he wasnt clear

helped me learn basics

22. Other comments:

I am glad I was able to take this course with Professor Mitchell. He always made the class a comfortable environment, and I gained a lot of great information through taking this course.

Just Hoping I pass....lol!

nothing

none

I would not change a thing.

I wish we had more time for essays and i hop it could be more organized. i would like to learn and my mistakes and punctuation errors before we start essays to know what i did wrong!

20. What do you think of the teacher and his/her teaching methods?

Prof. Mitchell taught well, better than other english writing prof. I had in the past!

His teaching methods were understanding, somewhat difficult at times but managable.

I wouldn't want another teacher to teach english after mr mitchell because in my hardest times he was there to help me with all the difficulties I had faced in english and his methodsof teaching made it even more understandable.

great

It really help me to become a better writer.

i liked it keep it up!

I liked the fact that you could go to him whenever you needed help and you could even call him if needed. He encouraged us to come to him for help and seek others to read your papers for input. His teaching methods were great. I like that he went through each step of the writing process with us and let us do each one so that we learn how to do it correctly.

The teacher taught me things but i wish it was more organized!

21. Has he/she contributed to your general knowledge or to learning job skills?

Yes, he made the expectations of eng 22 clear and helped us grasp the ideas of it.

This knowlegde will help me definitely in Eng 100.

yes, like I said I will be able to use this skills trough out my career

yeah

yes

Yes I have learned a lot about writing that I did not know before.

i learned to write essays and correct them for my own errors.

22. Other comments:

Good job! I like Prof. Mitchell's style of teaching! It is not overbearing and it was understandable. He does not have that "I am the Professor, you are the ignorant student" attitude towards teaching.

Thank you Mr. Mitchell

I enjoyed taking this class and will be taking the next course English 100 with the same instructor.

Mr. Mitchell is a very effective and knowledgeable teacher.

19. If you were teaching this course: a. What would you do to improve it? b. What would you change?

I personally did not like the topics of what we had to write about. The first and last were not that bad because we kind of get to chose. The rest came from the POV book which to me was sometimes hard to understand. I couldn't really come up with anything better so lol, I guess its cool.

a. The only improvement I would make is being clearer towards the end of the class when the research paper comes up. It was hard to get started because the assignment wasn't given at a very specific time. b. I wouldn't change anything aside from the last paper, the course was very clear and well organized.

none

I love Mr. Mitchell's class. We came to his class to learn and instead of shoving in our face how much we didn't know, he gave us the chance to improve ourselves. This was an awesome class.

i would do it exactly as Professor Mitchell!

I wouldn't do a thing to improve. However, things got rough at a certain point, but the teacher was always willing to help.

I would inforce more group activities only because when we discussed as a group, i was able to develop ideas of my own by listening to my colleagues opinions! I would change the coursework, and take out the bedfordhandbook exercises because i would rather have it explained to me by the teacher.

I would change the class building. The portables are falling apart but that is no fault of the instructors. Loren Mitchell is awesome. I would not change his course. Everything in terms of work was planned out to the the day andI think that is the best part. Everything that he expected from us as students was told in the syllabus and homework guidelines.

20. What do you think of the teacher and his/her teaching methods?

I really like Professor Loren and his teaching style. He is very fair and lets you know right up front what is expected of us. I feel that he truly wants us to learn and succeed rather then just to test our skills. His great attitude and his happy-go-luckiness made for a optimal learning experience for me. He explained the writing process to me in such a way that I actually understood it this time around. I don't write perfectly, but I am sure a lot better now then I was when I first started the semester.

The methods were perfect for me. The one time we did talk about the story in a circle didn't end as well as other days had though. It was hard to focus and take notes when I was busy worrying about how I looked.

good

I think they're awesome.

he encourages students to pratice critical thinking... i like his teaching method.

Very good! He explains everything clearly and makes sure we are all on the same page.

It is never boring in Professor Mitchell's class.

i really enjoyed his teaching methods. really helped.

I really loved Professor Loren's methods of teaching, although sometimes he would just go on and on and on, but he motivated me alot to open and think outside the box. He was very organized, and used EVERY single minute of class! Professor Loren always emphasized and reminded us of assignemts due, and gave us tips on how not to procrastinate!

fir teaching style

Great teaching methods. Shows personal touch and compassion toward students. Gives a feeling of family in the classroom. Could not ask for a better method.

21. Has he/she contributed to your general knowledge or to learning job skills?

Mr. Mitchell taught me a lot about writing this semester. He made me feel like it was easier and helped me overcome some of the hurdles I had in writing. Now I can successfully write better for all my classes and quite possibly my future job applications. Not to mention, writing these critiques for my classes.

Absolutely. I will always make comma mistakes, but I am confident that any future papers I write will be better after having taken this class.

yes

Oh, yes. This is the first english class where i feel like the teacher made an impression on my writing and not on my self-esteem.

yes. he is generally concern with the advancement of our skills in all aspect of life after school.

Yes!

Totally yes. I honestly must say that i didn't know it was actually really hard to write an essay. I've learned how to cite sources, and also to check my grammar. I've learned to conduct different tyoes of essays, and i feel accomplished. When i got an 97% on one of my essays, i was very pleased because i had worked hard to perfect it any way that i could.

has improved my writting style

Absolutely.

22. Other comments:

The instructor, the assignments, and the course itself were great. The instructor was so involved in the students, and in grading papers. It helped to have so much feedback on my assignments. It also helps to have such a positive person instructing you.

none

Thank you Mr. Mitchell.

i appreciate that he really takes time to read all of the essays, and remembers most of our work, and writes personalized comments (not just the number or letter grade)... this inspired me to do better in all of my papers.

the best english teacher i ever had!

Professor Loren, i have ALWAYS loved writing, because writing was a way i can express myself emotionally. you have taught me how to become a better writer. You have taught me how to communicate PROFESSIONALLY through writing, and i know that your teachings will definitley benefit me in the future. it was a JOY being in your class. i wish there were more teachers like you:)

good teacher, knows what he is doing

I know this thing is supposed to be from an unknown student but this is Jasmine Ah Sing and I think you did a wonderful job this semester as a teacher and I'm glad I had you as an instructor. You Rock!! Keep up the good job.

I found at times that we were racing to complete the course requirements of six essays, online work, and revising on time. I personally felt overwhelmed from the time the first essay was assigned. Every class something major was due!

20. What do you think of the teacher and his/her teaching methods?

This teacher was very real and down to earth, someone we can all feel comfortable with, but was still stern about teaching.

You were meant to teach Mr. mitchell. It was a pleasure to be apart of your class.

it was excellent

very good

I liked the teachers teaching methods.

Great

Great.

I love Mr. Mitchell's way of simplifing the writing process.

21. Has he/she contributed to your general knowledge or to learning job skills?

Everything that was taught is essential to any job skill.

yes

Yes

For the past two semesters I have planned my class schedule around having Mr. Mitchell as my professor for English, and fI have done the same for next semester (Eng 100).

19. If you were teaching this course: a. What would you do to improve it? b. What would you change?

I would have more quizzes on the sentence skills from the book to ensure that the students are actually reading and understanding. This way, people will do better on their essays, and as they continue lessons from the book,they will improve as the semester goes by.

I would spend more time on the basic english concepts for those who are non-traditional students and need some review.

Nothing our instructor was wonderful

give more time and clear statement of what expected in an essay.

I would change absolutely nothing. this class was recommended to me by a friend who had enjoyed the class. Now I know why, and will recommend this to any of my friends wanting to take English 100.

I believe there isn't much room for improvement in this course. Although I would have had the library orientation at the beginning of the semester vs the middle or end of the semester, I am aware there are too many students attending this campus to make that a possibility.

I would probably take more than one class period to thoroughly talk about a short story to get the insides of what everyone clearly thinks about it. So that it would be less stressful on a student to try and understand everything on his or her own. To get everything clearly stated in just one hour is not enough time. More than one class period would be better.

a. I would use grammar textbook. b. I would change that online homework to regular homework.

I think student should have the opportunity to revise their paper. Sometimes the few mistakes made cause the student to fail.

I would lessen the amount of handouts because a lot of them can be found in the book. And I would use a better peer review sheet because the current one seems not as useful as it could be as far constructive criticism goes.

I would not change anything.

be more encouraging more helpful more considerate more sensitive

a. I would allow for more classroom activities. For example, class presentations could really bring this class to a new level. While perfecting our writing skills, the students could also benefit by practicing speech skills. b. Other than a lack of classroom activities, Professor Mitchell's handled the class with superb expertise.

20. What do you think of the teacher and his/her teaching methods?

Very good.

I like FANBOYS. It's an easy way to remember when to put commas. Also, the citation excercises were helpful. He also goes around the class and asks students how thier essay progress is going. This is a very helpful method because some students are too shy to ask in front of the class, and they end up not getting the help they need.

I think Mr. Mitchell did an excellent job this semester. He challenges us and I think this was the most difficult class I've ever taken at HCC. However, I learned so much and I was never bored in his class. He is an excellent teacher and I hope to have more teachers like him in the future.

Mr. Mitchell was very interested in every student's progress which shows each time he takes time to sit with students and offer help.

Professor Mitchell did an excellent job teaching this course. He was knowledgeable in the subject and presented the material well. English can be a boring subject, however I enjoyed learning this semester. Thanks Professor Mitchell.

I thoroughly enjoyed this class and felt that I learned a lot. I would definitely take a course from him again.

i like the peer reviews. they are really helpful. and giving us a chance to make up a no grade essay.

He was really fun to listen to, and enjoyed his lectures.

I think my teachers methods were adequate. I enjoyed all the classroom discussions and the personal attention my teacher gave to all the students in my class.

I think that his teaching methods are excellent. The way that he makes a mandatory date for the rough draft of essays to be turned in really helps out. It helped to get a head start on revision for the final draft. I don't know of many teachers that even care that a rough draft is turned in. His methods are helpful in clearly understanding what has to be done and how to do it.

Great

I enjoyed the fact that the class was not entirely lecture-style. The group work and peer review sessions were very helpful. We sometimes went off-topic, especially when doing group discussions, but in the end the entire discussion as a whole intrigued me because I became curious to learn more about the different topics we ended up discussing.

Mr. Mitchell is a great instructor. I feel his course prepared me for all other future college courses.

grateful for his kindness and patience when it came to grading

Professor Mitchell is a great teacher. His rules and regulations are fair and clear. At the beginning of the year, he spent a lot of time lecturing, but by the end of the year he focused more on each individuals personal needs. He is a great asset to Hawaii Community College.

21. Has he/she contributed to your general knowledge or to learning job skills?

Without a doubt.

Yes. In high school, I learned the very basic skills. Now, I know how to write better and how to plan out an essay to make sure that it will turn out to be a good essay. I learned subject verb agreements, as well as many other writing techniques.

Mr. Mitchell has taught me the basics of writing properly which will assist me in my current career and help me with college.

I have learned so much that will be applied to my job as well as furture course in school.

Yes

yes. now i don't write like how i talk.

More than a lot of my other teachers.

I believe my teacher helped me a great deal in learning both general knowledge and job skills.

Yes he has contributed. Knowing and having perfection in grammar and skills are always a great skill to have especially for work.

yes

yes, I think the papers helped to practice things that people will use later on in school and/or work.

I really liked this English class. Before taking this course, I was not able to write a good thesis statement. Now I am able to write, and re-write, and write again until I am satisfied with the thesis statement that I write.

Mr. Mitchell has indeed contributed to my improvement of the writing process that I will use throughout my life whether being scholarly or professional.

I am truely grateful for his patience with me this semester. I realize he wants me to become better at writing. Tough class. Yes, I learned a lot about myself.

Without a doubt, he has dramatically improved the writing skills of every student within my class. The notes and advice he gave were tremendously beneficial and formatted in a way that every student grew as a writer and as an individual.

22. Other comments:

Instructor Loren put alot of energy into grading and providing comments that helped me learn. In my opinion, the instructor was the best instructor that I had this semester, in that he put alot of effort in providing feedback.

He goes off topic at times when we could be learning more; however, some interesting stories.

My teacher was very understanding and helped me when I felt overwhelmed and overstressed. I enjoyed his class very much and would recommend his class to friends and family now and in the future.

Loren is by far the best professor that I had this semester. He is one of the few professors that I came across that actually has true passion for his teachings. I feel that his methods and ways of teaching were excellent. I honestly feel that nothing went wrong, everything went quite perfect. The only thing would be the essays after essays, with out a break. But hey thats the challenge I had to prepare myself for anyway. He made class interesting especially with mixing in some of his personal experiences with the lectures. I wish I had more teachers that shared the same passion as he does for his teachings. I really enjoyed this semester. He made learning grammar skills interesting and worth the while.

He always helps his students. He is great.

Thank you Mr. Mitchell!

I did not like the negative comments that were made by the instructor of the instructor's other class who were not as good as writing essays as our class was. i believe that we are all here to learn.we all begin at different levels and it should not be used to define who we are based on our essay writing abilities.

I love it! hes great

nothing

If i was the teacher in ENG 20W i might only have to change the amount of time spent in class. Each class goes by so fast, there's never enough time to really get into an assignment and then the class is over. Other then that i really enjoyed and felt i am ready for any challenge. My instructor was amazing he always made time for each of his students for any questions. He made sure when giving any assignments out before leaving class, every student new how to do the assignment. Im very confident in Writing and i give him the gratitude for that.

peronally, there ain't anything I would change.

The room is soo far up the campus. Other then that, nothing.

20. What do you think of the teacher and his/her teaching methods?

Totaly Awesome

great

My instructor is a very patient and knowledgeable person. His teaching methods for Writing was understandable and easy.

This teacher is very detailed in his teaching methods. His lectures are well explained for students to understand.

Mr. Mitchells teaching methods were very helpful to me and it helped me understand more about the concepts of writing. I felt that I really improved my writing skills a lot from the examples that he gave in class.

21. Has he/she contributed to your general knowledge or to learning job skills?

GREAT

alot

Yes, HIs teaching in writing will help me in my future job placement.

Yes, very much.

For one, he taught me how to write better and he helped me prepare for my future courses.

22. Other comments:

Have a great break

great instructor

What a great way to start a semester, i cant wait for the next writing class to gain more knowledge from Mr. Mitchell.Really enjoy Writing...........

Mr. Mitchell is a really cool teacher that I learned a lot from, and i'm happy that I am continuing his class next semester.

19. If you were teaching this course: a. What would you do to improve it? b. What would you change?

Make more connections to the students at their level. Be "hip" as one would say. Nothing really needs to be changed because what I observed everything was fine. If there is any change it would be for the good.

nothing really.

Nothing, Loren did a god job

I would not change anything about this course. It is a good challenge for all of us! I would like to have more group projects and get together sessions because I noticed that I get a better understanding of our assignments while working together with my classmates because I can see their input.

I would create more in-class group discussions and then follow up with the professor. By doing this it will help to ensure that all students will have a clear understanding on the concepts studied.

A.To improve this class I would suggest doing more group activites. B.I wouldnt change anything really =)

Keep up with the course in a timely manner.

i wouldnt change anything

nothing, this is my favorite class!

I think that it was just hard because many students did not show up to class, so when we had peer editing it didn't really help. Other then that i think Loren Mitchell is an excellent teacher.

if i was teaching this course, i would make more activities and group work to understand the concept better.

I really don't think I would have to improve anything on the instructor's part. Everythiing was clear and understandable.

More group work, peer editing and and explaining to partner or group on comments!!

I would just change the location. It is way too far.

If I were teaching this course I would change his grading techniques because major errors are worth too much points.

I would have the same style of teaching.

Give longer time for essays

I would change the attendance policy, I would allow students to be able to hand in late work by another certain date given and allow some slips if already used up the 3 absences.

I think being able to cover more of the material might be good. It is always good to ask questions and such, but being prepared for those questions might be better. I feel like there was not enough time to teach all that was needed for the class to fully understand and comprehend what was going on.

Build student's self confidence that they can do it. Nothing to change.

i would change in class essays...they are just very stressful in that amount of time

nothing!

20. What do you think of the teacher and his/her teaching methods?

Very clear.

Professor Mitchell is a fun teacher. He's laid back and I enjoy his teaching. He can be very entertaining to listen to at times. Great teaching methods.

I think that Mr.Mitchell, is a really good professor. His teaching styles deals mostly with class discussions, and I feel that by having "class discussions" it helps myself and other students to get involved and obtain an understanding of the work given. This is how students successfully learn and I appreciate his teaching style!

He is a wonderful teacher. His methods are relaxed and easy going, which gets the students attention.

As expected.

they were fair and easy to work with

great!

It was easily followed. I think many had a hard time because their writing skills aren't that great yet and they are still learning, like me.

the teacher has good methods and teaching skills, but the harder subjects should be teached a little more longer so we understand it.

His teaching methods were sometimes confusing but in the end it all came together and helped in so many ways.

He's very stright forward, understandablt and is very encouraging.

Professor Mitchell has is a very good teacher. He motivates the students and he explains things so that we can understand it.

Mr. Mitchell should go over the material more often so we can get a better understanding of the assignment.

I strongly urge any new students to take this course with Mr. Mitchell. He's a great teacher, he helps you to understand, he practically knows the whole book, front to back by heart.

his encouragement helped alot over fall semester

I love that the class is offerd in PAHOA.

I graduated in 2003, and this was my first semester back to school. Mr. Mitchell provided a classroom I was EAGER to learn in. I am thankful Mr. Mitchell was my first teacher back to school.

19. If you were teaching this course: a. What would you do to improve it? b. What would you change?

I feel that the essays being back to back was very difficult. I could not concentrate on the given assignments because we were always doing two at a time. This was VERY difficult!

Loren is a great teacher

I would do 5 essays (instead of 6) and incorporate more in-class writing exercises.

I would be less lenient, it is a college course and students need to be challenged. Students should be able to complete the assignments when they are due.

more time in between essays

I really can't change anything about the way Mr. loren teaches he's the bomb

The essay is pretty hard with only 1 revision.

more exercises on in-text citations

Nothing

i would want to give out less essays.. 6 is to much for people to handle through out a semester.. so thats what makes them dropout..

I think that some students had a hard time understanding some of the assignments and how they were suppose to do them.

less essays.

I think the amount of essays required to be completed in the amount of time in the semester was excessive. I think the grading criteria was unfair and too strict.

i don't think i would change anything. i liked how he did things for his class.

Peer reviev didn't seem that helpful. The list of points to check was exaustive, so it didn't seem to help much. I can only keep a few things in my brain at one time.

The ONLY problem I have is that our 2nd essay we were assigned we were to do in 2 class periods in class. That wasn't fair because it was only our 2nd essay. I don't blame that on our instructor. Our instructor clearly said that he wished it wasn't like t

20. What do you think of the teacher and his/her teaching methods?

Mr. Mitchell was a very good teacher and made it comfortable to be around him but I do think that his revising was way to critical. He acted more like an editor than a English teacher.

he had an extremely effective way of presenting the information and material.

he is on it

Mr. Mitchell gave the students a lot of encouragement and was clearly passionate about teaching this course.

Great teacher, very knowledgeable, and a great person and friend.

He motivates all the students in the class.

great.

it is easy to follow along with

Mr. Loren is very enthusiastic about english and makes you want to write, write and write He also gives good examples to help you understand the writing process.

He is very good and teaches very well.

EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE. Provided many useful information during lectures

His teaching methods are awesome

i like his teaching methods..

I think he was very motivating and truly cared how he tought this course, was very knowledgeable in his field.

i thought mr. mitchell was awesome! he may be tough on grading, but his teaching methods were very understandable.

Mr. Mitchell was very knowledgeable of what he was teaching. He gave did cut some slack on us when it was needed, I appreciated that, especially when the essays overlapped.

i love the way he teaches, he is very helpful. he may be a really hard grader when it comes to the essay's but it only benefits us.

Good. He was really into it. It made it easy for me to get into it too.

The teacher's teaching methods were good. He explained everything clearly and it was like we were equals. He used powerpoint presentations, he let us break into groups and discuss our stories and he gave out great handouts for us to learn from.

21. Has he/she contributed to your general knowledge or to learning job skills?

Yes, I now know the proper ways to write essays, cite sources and use quoted materials.

he has definitely contributed a great deal to my knowledge and understanding of the subject.

very much so i am much more organized and learned a great deal

Yes. This class has helped me improve my writing and communication skills.

Definitely!

Yes.

yes

Yes 100% good feeling in class to learn the process. Patient with student's and gives us an opportunity to demonstrate what we learned, also encourgeing us to ask questions if uncertain.

Yes, he helps me with essays I need help on.

Yes, particularly for writing important papers in the future

Yes

yes

yes mr mitchell helped me out a lot to learn new things to succed in the world..

Extremely, I never realized how specific college writing has to be in order not to plagerize or even have major errors, pretty overwhelming.

definitely!

Yes. He would explain things in different ways by using good examples. He would make us think about the answer instead of telling us the answer.

he sure has.

Yes

In high school I was never taught about subject-verb agreements, FANBOYS, etc., so this course really taught me a lot. Especially since I want to become a teacher myself, learning the proper grammer and puncuations is very important. I haven't gotten it a

22. Other comments:

Overall Mr. Mitchell was a GREAT teacher! The only negative thing I have to say is about the back to back essays.

much mahalo's

The one major change I would like to see is the elimination of the in-class writing examination. I thought it was an inaccurate and unfair evaluation of a student's writing skills.

HCC students are lucky to have a teacher like him. His grading is fair.

this teacher is really great and down to earth...treats students as friends not little children.This helped me to take the course more seriously

I have recomend others to take his class just because his way of teaching . Mr. Mitchell treats each student with respect and goes out of his way to make time to meet to go over assignements and give the extra help when needed.

Very good teacher.

I really enjoyed lectures because they were all lively and everyone participated.

I think he is a well motivated and very proffesional in his teaching skills, which is good to learn when you are out in the real world.

I really think the grading in this course what too strict and unfair. I was an A student in Eng 22 and then scored really low in this class. I was very discouraging and made me want to quit. I think if someone turns in their homework on time, does a neat

loren mitchell is an excelent teacher. i love his style of teaching.

Overall my english instructor was awesome! I heard from other students that he was a meanie or that he was unfair, but in my true opinion, he was not only fair, but easy to learn from. I love anything to do with English and my instructor gave me a good se
