As with all writing-intensive classes, you want to give yourself time to work on your assignments. Put genuine effort into your essays/articles, and listen to his feedback - although, compared to some of my other English teachers, he's a bit generous with the grades. And he's super lenient with deadlines, so it's extremely tempting to procrastinate - don't do it.

He's a very energetic and caring teacher. His classes are fun and easy as long as you put in effort, and he gives several opportunities to revise/resubmit work.

Mr John Bernard Martin is a swell young gentleman. He's a millennial though which is kinda strange
