The professor bases all your subsequent grades on your first paper. If you get a B on the first assignment, that is what you will get for every paper after it. He takes a long time to grade and ends up providing little to no feedback. He also goes off topic a lot and it distracts students from learning.

I don't know why people don't like him. I suck at writing, but got an A.

Dr. Campbell is an amazing teacher who gives amazing feedback. He is very kind and a good listener. He even had my class over for dinner (great cook). I definitely became a better writer because of this class. My only heads up is to participate in the class discussions, it is super important for both your grade and your writing development.

Campbell is interesting, and class is exciting. He is also aggressive and weirdly touchy with his students. He will give crazy low grades with no feedback. If you solicit help he will meet with you, but it feels almost like he is trying to be unhelpful during meetings. There is no reason to take college writing with such a hard and volatile grader. made lots of memories tho <3

Without getting too much into details of what happened in our class, it is important to note that reports were filed against Dr. Campbell this semester(FL23). He would take a long time to get our essays back to us. When he would get them back to us, the feedback he would give wasn't helpful. Our averages for each assignment were in the low B range.

Gives an okay amount of feedback, but the number grade doesn't match the feedback he gives. Lectures mostly about history because that's what he's more interested in. Takes forever to return papers.

Yes Dr. Campbell was a tough grader sometimes, but setting up one on one meetings for feedback and ideas on papers was extremely helpful. He also is very experienced in academia with so much knowledge that he is so willing to share if you ask. I definitely became a better writer due to his class.

If you dont want a miserable college writing experience I would avoid him. He can be extremely rude to students at times and was an extremely harsh grader for my class. We usually had our average essays in the C+/B-/B range. Also took months to return essays sometimes. Really disappointed.

The only thing that got me through this course was knowing how to write from my high school English classes. Dr. Campbell's lectures were very meandering and never really seemed to have a point to them. He also picked on individual students and was very condescending at times. Never took points off for me turning papers in late though.

Professor Campbell was a funny professor, but most times the lectures were unhelpful and irrelevant. While he was accessible outside of class, he didn't give great or constructive writing feedback, and often interrupted students. Very flexible with deadlines.

Amazing teacher makes an attempt to relate to students on a genuine level. You will look forward to this class.

Professor Campbell is an interesting teacher. If youre looking for writing skills and tips, you wont find them here beyond a vague cater to your audience repeated every class. His lecture style is engaging and fun, but his grading process is unclear and contradicts itself. He is also messy with due dates and communication - super frustrating.

Prof. Campbell is great!! His lectures are so much fun; you'll actually want to go to class. The readings were really interesting and the papers weren't hard at all. He's a really funny guy and I would definitely take a class from him again. I had him for College Writing: Writing Identity.
