Review #1 / Course: ENGL 2000 / Instructor: CRONIN C
Very boring class and almost pointless. The things he would talk about in class seemed never to be relevant to what we were supposed to be writing in our papers. I think the only reason I did good in this class was because we were writing on movies. Grading is good. Not a hard class just ridiculously boring

Cronin is so boring and he likes to ramble on and on about absolutely nothing. but he grades fairly easy if you go to the paper conferences and ask questions. you really dont have to go to class if you dont want just be there for moot courts and moot court meetings

Review #3 / Course: ENGL 1001 / Instructor: CRONIN C
I thought that Cronin was very nice and willing to help when you are in need. He would sometimes ramble about the topic at hand but other than that, he's a good for English 1001.

Review #4 / Course: ENGL 2231 / Instructor: CRONIN C
I took this class because I wanted a fun and easy elective. It's easy, but so boring. Cronin rambles about the most insignificant things and repeats the same stories constantly. It was a struggle to pay attention in class. The films were decent.

Review #5 / Course: ENGL 1001 / Instructor: CRONIN C
Professor Cronin is so horribly boring. Before I took the class, I heard that he grades hard. But I thought that he grades easy. He talks about stuff that does NOT pertain to writing papers. There are way better english professors out there.

He is REALLY BORING. Don NOT take him. He goes off on to nonsignificant subjects. It's his way or the highway.

Review #8 / Course: ENGL 1002 / Instructor: CRONIN C
Must have been a law school reject. All he talked about were different cases and we had to write essays on them. talked about same case for 1month straight BORING! He had no criteria, so he just gave us any grade he felt, and he wasn't very generous.

The only reason I reccomend Cronin is because you don't have to go to his class. He just rants nonstop every day about irrevalent stuff. But he does have challenging papers and exams, be prepared.

This class was alright...Mr Cronin is a nice guy, kind of ramble-y, though. The class is very interesting, but he's hard to please.

Review #11 / Course: ENGL 1002 / Instructor: CRONIN C
Cronin had us write about actual law cases, which waspretty interesting and easy; however, he basically just walked in and started talking and went on and on and on and on and on... but he grades easy and is helpful if you ask him questions
