Reviews for Mark A. Forrester
Average Rating:| ycha Course: ENGL391H Grade Expected: A- December 12, 2011, 4:18 pm | I would definitely recommend taking Junior English with Professor Forrester. He is, however, a tough grader, so I recommend editing/reviewing any of the papers before turning it in. Certain little things (like font serif/color) could cost you valuable brownie points. The resume/cover letter workshop is extremely helpful, and because it is in the beginning of the year, it will definitely help you as you search for jobs/internships during fall semester. There are also a series of papers that feeds into a larger proposal. However, you can choose the topic as well as your partners, so make sure you choose something you're genuinely interested about! He is a fair, subtly funny professor who you will come to like more as the year progresses! |
| histenglstudent Course: ENGL391H Grade Expected: A June 2, 2011, 10:30 am | This was an excellent class, and not nearly as scary as it looks from the syllabus so don't drop after the first day! Professional writing classes are notoriously dull, but he did a good job keeping the class moving and I actually feel like I learned something. Assignments are not difficult, and the final paper comes together pretty easily because of the way he structured the course. Funny guy, too! |
| Ilovetestudo Course: ENGL391 Grade Expected: A May 8, 2010, 3:15 pm | I absolutely love Mark! Not only he is an incredibly nice guy, he is also very funny in a subtle way. He is invested in his students and in English, and he is always more than willing to help you perform to the best of your ability in his class. And he does learn your name quickly and is personable. All-around great guy, great class...he tends not to give A's on assignments that often, but I like him so much that I can't hold that against him! Would highly recommend taking this class with him for your Junior English. |
| jam0585 Course: ENGL391 Grade Expected: B August 29, 2009, 11:19 am | The class expectations are outlined extremely well in his syllabus. Just do the work and you'll get the grade you expect. He's somewhat of a tough grader when it comes to all the papers, but only because he wants you to actually try and not BS the work. Real nice guy, but talks forever. Easy class. |
| bmorefan Course: ENGL398L Grade Expected: B December 16, 2008, 8:45 pm | Very nice and funny guy. Easy to talk to. Assignments not too difficult, he lets you pretty much pick whatever topic you want. Grading is pretty consistent. Good professor for JuniorEnglish. |
| Anonymous Terp Course: ENGL391 Grade Expected: A April 30, 2008, 2:29 pm | I really enjoyed this class. You have to do a career portfolio, which includes a cover letter, a resume, and a personal statement, which can come in really handy for graduate programs. The rest of the course is devoted to coming up and writing about with a proposal to a problem that you could help solve. He expects good work, but doesn't set the bar so high that it's impossible. You can tell that he enjoys teaching English and that he knows what he's talking about. He's super nice, learns your name very fast, and is readily available if you need to get in touch with him. |
