I came to this class thinking I knew English but soon realized that there is a lot I dont understand. Fortunately not only was he resourceful but very very kind and helpful. He cares for his students. He shapes them into critical thinkers. You leave with knowledge and understanding.

hardest class I've taken so far, but so worth it as well. He definitely made me a better writer and gives constructive criticism. 65% of your grade is the portfolio, but I think he grades very fairly for those. a lot of effort needs to be put in but it's so worth it

Absolutely recommend taking this course three essays total including the final paper ..a couple response papers to the reading.. and attendance is mandatory come to class and do your reading and you're guaranteed to pass

Mr. Lyman is an amazing professor! Do the assignments and listen to his feedback and you will do fine. I would definitely take more classes with Mr. Lyman in the future :)

Professor Lyman is a caring individual. He makes you work for your grade. At the end of the day he wants you to have something learned conceptually rather than focusing on just homework assignments.

I highly recommend Professor Lyman for those who really want to have a progress in English writing. He cares about students and he really teaches. Be prepared for critical thinking and analyzing the materials being read. He gives good and useful feedbacks.

Wonderful teacher who actually teaches you instead of lecture after lecture. If you don't understand something be sure to ask because he will break it down for you until you understand. He really cares about the students and wants to see us be successful. Very Fair!

Awesome professor. I won't ever regret taking his class. He's a very rigorus teacher but, if you want to learn how to write very good essays, take him. The class starts hard and tricky, the teacher makes you think outside the box. You can't really fail it. I apply most of the things I learned in his class to my engwr 300 and I doing very well.

The teacher is not clear when giving out instructions. He is there to help if you ask but, stubborn. His class is easy,there are about 3 quizzes which are supper easy; however, there is a portfolio due at the end of the semester which is 70% of your grade if you have an A in the class and get a D on the portfolio you will receive a D in the class.

This professor jumbles a lot when it comes to assignments. His assignments are deeply complex and no matter how hard you try to be more specific on your essays it's never enough.

He explains everything quite well. He definitely makes you work for it but that's the best way to learn. Id recommend him to anyone!

Great teacher, teaches to the point. He will repeat if you don't understand, always cares for his students abilities.

Great professor, by far the best I've taken at ARC yet. He is very clear with what he expects and was always available for any questions you may have. Although you must put in work to pass his class, there is no real excuse not to pass since he is such a supportive educator and will sit down with you to help with whatever you need. 5 stars!

I am more aware as a student and a citizen because of what I learned about critical theory in Lyman's course. It was mind-bending on many occasions, always food for thought, and mentally stimulating from start to finish. If you don't get a chance to learn from this educator while at ARC, sorry for ya!

Excellent, very helpful i enjoyed his class.

He is awesome professor ,I learned a lot stuff in this class.I would suggest to take him if you want to increase your writing skills.

Prof Lyman was a great professor! He really knows what he's doing, and he's there to help you whenever you need him. He really helped me improve in my writing. Plus, his classes almost always end 30min earlier, but we covered everything we needed to in class. Take his class! You won't regret it. However, don't slack off, you gotta work hard too.

Amazing professor! He truly cares about his student's success. Group discussions are very helpful. Class discussions always very interesting. He is always willing to explain the material so you will understand. If I could take this class again, I would! So devastated that I can't take his class for ENG300! Take his class, you won't regret it :)

Really hard on the essay grading. Didn't come to class one day lost 50 points. Wouldn't advise to take this teacher.

Fun text choices, group work & discussions during class, clear on what he expects of assigments, he most defintely is passionate about his course studies.
