Very very boring teacher but laid back. Goes off about random stuff that has nothing to do with what your learning which makes it very easy to not pay attention. When it came time to write the paper I had no idea what to do because i was so confused. Took attendance and never knew what my grade was because he doesn't use moodle. Easy to get away with a lot of things in this class.

This class is one of the easiest classes on campus, highly recommended, take him if you can; short papers are due once a day, but tests are easy enough.

The only reason I would recommend him is because he was SO EASY. But he was very confusing and never really explained what the assignment was about. He has his favorites as well.

The reason I don't recommend him is b/c his grading is SOO subjective. If he likes you, you'll get good grades on papers/essays/reports (ab 85% of the total grade), but good luck getting him to like you...

Easy teacher, but not flexable with grades...I made an 89.7 and he didnt round up. You have to go to class and it is really boring. I would have rather taken a hard teacher and it be interesting but this one isnt time consuming at all.

McKinnon is a little strange and rambles a lot but as long as you go to class and do the writing assignments (they don't take long, no research involved ever) you'll get an easy A or B.

Class was boring, but his tests were easy. You just have to show up every day for class because of daily journal grades, and there's a lot of reading involved.

If you really like English don't take this class. The teacher made me want to throw things and scream. He was a sweet guy but aggravating and not a good teacher.

Boring, but easy. Didn't read books, but got by. I got a B, whereas I thought I would have an A. He's a nice guy, just not very peppy. classes were a drag, but it wasn't a stressful class.

Not very exciting, but the class is straight forward. Nothing hidden, but the journal (due every class) takes time. Reading assignments were enjoyable, but don't procrastinate. That crap can pile up on anyone.

He was very unorganized, and never told us what was wrong with our papers. You never know what you are doing wrong until the end of the semester then it's to late!!! He has poor communication skills and dosen't offer help outside of the classroom!

He stays on the same boring topics for too long and never gives anyone a chance to speak; he is really absent minded.
