Did not take AP English Literature & Comp. with him, but took English 10 with him. Overall a good teacher. I would say that he gave more A grades and graded more leniently than the other teachers. English 10 is meant to prepare you for AP English Literature & Comp. (if you intend to take it). If you are going to take AP Lit, you might as well put in your 100% focus now in English 10 so that you are prepared for success. I think he accepts late work, and the class is chill. Do not be discouraged by your grade for the first week, especially because the timed annotations and writes can start you off at a bad grade. There is a lot of buffer in the course so you can pull your grade up by a lot (even 10%-20% points).
