Awful
Impossible to get an A. Even after meeting with him to go over papers, He assigns a poor grade in spite of the fact that He worked on the paper with you.

Average
Hilarious man and certainly not your school of English. The writing tasks are more creative writing than structured analytical tasks. Rough drafts are more strictly graded, so don't sweat it.

Good
Professor Conner rambles and goes on many tangents in class but attendance is mandatory so there is no way of avoiding it. Also he over explains every prompt and is a harsh picky grader.
